Understanding what the Lord is saying will give you the faith you need to draw near to Him and be set free by the Truth (Romans 10:17). With faith in your heart, you will rejoice even in times of trial. This contentment brings the power to solve problems and open your eyes to understand God's will for your life. If you don't understand your part in the salvation that has already taken place, you will continue to miss out on many blessings from the Lord.

          Jesus taught in parables because He knew that this method would help us to understand everything that is ours, making it easier for us to act in fulfillment of the promise. We are free agents to accept or reject the Lord's teachings. Now, rejecting what He shows us is like blowing out a candle on an unknown street at night without any other source of light, in which we have to walk on to reach an address for the first time. Watch, pray and believe!

         When they were on their way to the Land of Promise, the Lord addressed the Israelites, revealing what commandments would be given to them: Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess (Deuteronomy 4.5). He knows how to instruct us on how to act, teaching us the way we should walk and guiding us with His eyes (Psalm 32.8). Pray about it!

         Through Moses, God explained why His statutes should be followed: Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people’ (Deuteronomy 4.6). When you prove that this is true and very good for everyone, you will rejoice in the Lord. Love Him!

Outsiders will probably comment that you are wise and understanding, because they will see God's wonders in your life. By being zealous for good, the Most High will give you far more than you ask or think, as the Bible states: Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, (Ephesians 3.20). Receive!

          The power sent by the Lord to help us goes beyond what we know from the Scriptures, because it fulfills what He has planned for those who carry out His will. That's why, when you dedicate yourself to bringing the message that heals and sets people free, your desires are met in a wonderful and complete way (Psalm 20.2-5). God will grant us all the things the Bible promises even without our asking.

         The Omniscient One wants to increase your possessions, as long as you seek the Kingdom of Heaven first. Now, despising the opportunity to get right with Him and receive healing and salvation is no different from saying you don’t believe in His word. Make your decision, enter the presence of the Lord in the Name of Jesus and command evil to leave.

           In Christ, with love,
