What does Understanding mean?


WHAT DOES UNDERSTANDING MEAN ? …………………...............................

So many people today feel misunderstood and want others to understand them, they push for this relationship because they think that being understood is love. If they can’t get this from friends or family they are devastated and lose all confidence.

Just knowing what the word “understanding” means in our language is devastating (to think we are requiring so much from a friend or person). Have a look at this meaning and ask yourself would you want to give so much time and understanding to a person who was wanting this from you?

The Turah has a wonderful way of presenting the truth of understanding for us in a complete simple package deal in one verse.


HEBREW 4:2 SAYS : "FOR INDEED THE BESORAH WAS BROUGHT TO US AS WELL AS TO THEM, BUT THE WORD WHICH THEY HEARD DID NOT PROFIT THEM, NOT HAVING BEEN MIXED WITH “BELIEF” IN THOSE WHO HEARD IT."


Turah also says for us to arrest every thought and bring it to subjection to Yahusha. Every incident, thought and action should be pitted against the words of Messiah, mixing our BELIEF with the word, which gives us understanding. Being obedient to this principle will satisfy our desires of not being understood. Seeking someone from the world to give us understanding without following the Master’s instruction will only end in hopelessness and we will never grow our belief. As we apply these principles “BY MIXING OUR BELIEF WITH THE WORD” we will have favour with our divine helper who truely loves us and will give us understanding until we see Him.
