Episode 09 - 

God hides truth in parables, because if God gave you something you didn’t ask for, it would violate His integrity, and it would violate your free Will. Your right to want it first. This is why God says in Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

Episode 08 - 

Matthew 13:10 The disciples came to him (Jesus) and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

The purpose of a parable is not to tell the truth. The purpose of the parable is to hide the truth. Here’s why. The principle behind the use of parables is … Noting is yours until you discover it.

Episode 07 - 

1 Kings 3:9 Solomon asked God for "... an understanding heart."

Understanding is more important than Knowledge and Wisdom. Why? Because understanding is the bridge of truth between knowledge and wisdom. Without understanding: the ability to comprehend, interpret, discern meaning, and make sense of your knowledge. Wisdom will faulter.

In Matthew 13, Jesus quotes Isaiah, talking about people who hear but don't understand. Jesus diagnoses the problem. It's not their ears, it's not their intelligence, it's their heart. ...

Head knowledge must lead to heart understanding.

Episode 06 - 

SOLOMON ASKED FOR (fill in the blank). If you said WISDOM. You would be absolutely, indisputably, 100% INCORRECT.

1 Kings 3:
(5) At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?” (6) And Solomon Said " ... (9) Therefore give to Your servant ... ".

Episode 05 - 

Matt. 13:19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart ... 

The devil is not omnipresent. He is not God, he can’t be everywhere at once. He goes where the secrets of the kingdom are being taught. Why? Because he knows, the moment you begin to get it, he loses control over your life.

Proverbs 4:7 says “…with all thy getting get understanding.” Other translations say, “with all your effort work to acquire understanding”. “If it costs everything you have, get understanding.”.

Episode 04 - 

Matthew 13:11 "... the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you ...". 

Thanks God that we live in this age. The fullness of time when God has chosen to allow us the opportunity to have the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom. So that we can seek to understand His Will and His ways – so that we can not only have spiritual life, but also walk in divine health and prosperity.

Episode 03 - 

Jeremiah 29:13 When you seek me, you will find me, when you will seek me with all your heart.

Seek means to pursue, study, learn, understand, desire, diligently dedicate, consider, explore, and preoccupy ourselves with the King’s Word.

Your heart is your subconscious mind. It is where your identity and all your beliefs are stored.

Episode 02 - 

Matthew 25:34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.’”

The kingdom of heaven is the domain of heaven, the place where our King, God himself, rules and reigns. He exercises authority and power over that territory. The kingdom of God is different. The kingdom of God is any domain or territory where the rulership influence or authority of God is in effect. Jesus came to return God's Kingdom influence to earth.

Episode 01 - 

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

To understand Jesus, to understand the Bible we must seek to understand what a king is and what a kingdom is. The Kingdom was the primary message that Jesus taught. A lack of understanding of our place IN HIM and His place in us is what hinders us, inhibits our faith, and keeps us from success. 

Bonus Episode - 

We are all familiar with the song “Oh Come Let Us Adore Him”. But have you ever stop to think about what Adoration actually means. Adoration (or "Face to Face" prayer) is loving and magnifying the Lord above all else and in every circumstance and season of life. It is setting our eyes on the prize of knowing Christ Jesus and delighting in who He is.
