If that word is not understood, it will not be retained. It will bear no fruit. It will, in fact, be taken from us by the devil himself. Those that allow Scripture to lie on the surface of their minds, without permitting it to permeate their heart, will not be able to profit from it. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart.
Human resources are marvelous, and are to be employed energetically.
Yet, they are not sufficient to uncover the mysteries of the Kingdom. It is time for the church to cease its insistence upon worldly credentials, and begin to insist on spiritual ones. No person should be allowed in leadership that has no understanding of the things of God. Pray for understanding when you read the Bible.
