What governs our understanding ultimately determines the reality we experience. In divine order, the understanding is meant to receive its light from God, not the senses. When our understanding is governed by God, we walk in faith—receiving His truth as our present reality without requiring external confirmation. In this series, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches on the need for patience and endurance in experiencing the divine promise in our walk with God. He examines the resistance we meet in the flesh, and how, if left unchecked, can sabotage our divine calling (purpose). He also expounds on the need for consecration and daily sacrifice in overcoming the resistance from the flesh in order to receive His promise. In this episode, “The Tongue of the Learned,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter explains the relationship between the inner man, understanding, and senses, showing how the fall occurs when the understanding is governed by the senses rather than God. He teaches that faith is cultivated by receiving God’s truth as our experience without the need for confirmation from our external circumstance. He admonishes those who come into contact with the revelation of the truth to hold onto it through prayer, meditation, obedience, patience, and thanksgiving till it captures the whole of their imagination. As the truth becomes established within, it shapes our thoughts, words, and actions, producing the tongue of the learned, where you have power to affect your outward situation. Beloved, as you listen to this message, may your understanding be awakened to God’s truth, your faith strengthened, and your life aligned with all He has destined for you. Key Scriptures: Isaiah 35:1-6 (KJV) 4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. 5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. Isaiah 50:4(KJV) 4 The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
