GET UNDERSTANDING
In this episode, we make a bold case: why understanding is the switch that turns truth into results.
You’ll hear a candid testimony of ending spiritual harassment by shifting your consciousness from the attack to Christ within—and why that shift closed the door for good.
We also break down ginosko: moving truth from head to mouth to spirit until it becomes reflex. Learn why this pattern still governs kingdom outcomes, and how the Word of God grows and prevails in real life.
If you’re ready for consistent victory, this episode gives you the missing link—and the steps to act on it.

Hello everyone, welcome to DIY Salvation. Today we are talking about a very foundational topic, and this topic is the only key for you to live a consistently victorious Christian life. I mean consistently, and it is understanding. Get understanding. Our topic is get understanding. For you to consistently live in victory every day and always, you must get understanding because understanding is everything. Alright, the book of Proverbs says, Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get understanding. This is Proverbs chapter 4, verse 7. If you take a look at that scripture, you'll see wisdom is the principal thing, then there's a semicolon, therefore, get wisdom. There's a colon, right? And with all thy getting, get understanding. So you know that because there's a colon there, you know that what comes after the colon explains what comes before it. So it says, Wisdom is the principal thing. Get wisdom. Then he now explains how you can get wisdom by getting understanding. If it's confusing you, don't worry, I'm going to explain everything. The first thing is that you have to know what is the difference between wisdom and understanding. The Bible separates the two on purpose. Why? Because the wisdom that you have, you will not be able to use it unless you have understanding. So wisdom is the principal thing, but you have to get understanding. Understanding is what helps you to operate the wisdom that you have. You have to have understanding. Let's look at 1 Corinthians chapter 1, verse 30. It says, But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. Christ is made unto us wisdom. So here we see that wisdom is a person, wisdom is an anointing. Christ, wisdom is a free gift. So that means that if you don't know what to do as a believer, that's an error. Why? Because you already have wisdom. Do you get it? You have wisdom. If you have given your life to Christ, you speak in tongues as an the evidence that the Holy Spirit is in you, right? So you are supposed to operate in wisdom. If you're not operating in wisdom, you don't know what to do, when to do what to do, and how to do what to do. It means that something is lacking, which is understanding. So this is one of the most powerful revelations about your identity in Christ for you to know that Christ is made unto you wisdom. Christ is your wisdom. Who is Christ? Christ is the anointing. Jesus Christ is the Lord. Okay? When it comes to Christ, Christ is the Lord in you. Christ is the Lord in you. I've oftentimes explained that the Holy Spirit in you looks like you, right? And the Holy Spirit in me looks like me. The reason is that you are one spirit with God. So the Holy Spirit joins with my spirit. The Holy Spirit that joins with my spirit is what we know as Christ. Do you see? It's the anointing upon, right? And the anointing within. Do you get so that is Christ? Okay. So Christ in you, the hope of glory. You really do have everything to be to be successful in life, but you have to have understanding to operate Christ in you. Christ is made unto you wisdom, but you need understanding to operate Christ in you. Does it make sense? All right. So it means that wisdom is not just a skill, it's not just, you know, an insight or a principle that you learn. Wisdom is the inner man, is the you that heaven knows. Wisdom is the you that heaven knows. That perfect you that you've probably dreamt about before. You know, he's wisdom or she is wisdom. But you need understanding to operate wisdom. 1 Corinthians chapter 2, verse 16 says, We have the mind of Christ. Do you see? You have the mind of Christ. Why? Because Christ in you, Christ lives in you, Christ in you, the hope of glory. So you have the mind of Christ, which is the same as the mind of God. Wow. And in the divine mind, you know that there is no loss. You know that in the divine mind there is no sickness, there is no disease. The Christ in you is a perfect man, full stature of Christ. But you need to let out the Christ in you to come into this your reality. If the Christ in you and this you that we know merges together, you become a superman. So God gave us a gift that we can use, which is wisdom, but we are also giving the mind of Christ for us to operate the wisdom. Everything is in place. This is your spiritual reality. We have the mind of Christ so that we can discern the wisdom of God. God is so good. Because Christ is your wisdom, you now can think the thoughts of God. You are not limited to human reasoning. That's the reason why we always talk about revelation knowledge. Because revelation knowledge is revealing things to you. If you've not read my book, Stars, go and read it. I told you it's going to make the Bible easier for you to understand. So you're not limited to human reasoning, you can have access to God's insight on anything. You can even make decisions by the Spirit of God and not by fear or confusion. You already have the wisdom of God latent in you. You have the mind of Christ. Question. Why then are the circumstances of your life looking like that of an ordinary man? Because you lack understanding. Understanding is the ultimate key. The Bible does not urge us, you know, to get wisdom because we already have wisdom, but it urges us to get understanding. Understanding will tell you why it works, how it works, what to do with what you know about God, the Bible, and the kingdom of God. If you listen to stars, right, stars will give you understanding. Listen to DIY Salvation will give you understanding. Do you get? You already have the wisdom of God. So as you're listening to me, you feel the burning in your heart. You know, you're like, yes, this is true. I have no way to prove that what she's saying is true, but I know that this is true. That's the wisdom that is bearing witness. Do you understand? The wisdom in you, the Christ in you is bearing witness with the Christ in me. Do you get? And you're like, Yes, this is the word of God. But without understanding, the Christ in you remains latent. The wisdom in you remains latent and it never transforms your life. So somebody can have Christ in him and still die like an ordinary man. So how do I get understanding? Psalm 119, verse 130 says, The entrance of thy words giveth light, it gives understanding unto the simple. So the conclusion is that the Bible is the only source for getting understanding. Why do I need understanding? Because you cannot walk in what you do not understand, you cannot enforce a promise of God that you don't fully know belongs to you. I'm telling you, once you read stars and you finish it, your outlook about the entire world and Christianity will just be different. When you read the Bible, it will be so different. I'm telling you, when I read the Bible now, I'm like, wow, like I'm blown away. Even the teachings of Jesus, I'm like, wow, how come I didn't see this before? So, for example, every believer knows there is a kingdom of heaven. But what the kingdom of God is and how to operate in the kingdom of God as a kingdom citizen baffles a lot of people. So we just have all these ideas, these lofty ideas that are mostly not tangible ideas, like they are just dreamy ideas about the kingdom of God. When you hear that the kingdom of God is right, is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost, you just that's the kingdom of God. We sing about it, and then you're just thinking it's maybe about the kingdom of God means that you're just going to be joyful here on earth. See, it's way deeper than you think. I will need to do an entire, like maybe it's an entire series for me to explain how the laws of the kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. I'm telling you, it's way deeper than you think. Understanding is very key. So that's the reason why in DIY Salvation, every topic, for example, El and Leon and the stark dimensions of reality, talking about the host of heaven, talking about the glory of God, the king of glory, you know, talking about the sovereign star, all of these topics are designed to give you clarity about who God really is, what the kingdom of God really is, and who you really are, how the kingdom of God and how the kingdom of God actually works. When you begin to listen to DIY Salvation, your understanding comes. Understanding comes to you. Understanding is what turns scripture into revelation. The Bible becomes revelation to you. You now see it in a whole new light. Your worldview is entirely different. You now have a kingdom worldview, not just because we are dealing with just definition of terms, but in the true sense of it, understanding enables you to get a hold of the truth, you to make it yours, and for you to force it into your reality. For example, when you listen to the episode on Ellie Leon and the stack dimensions of reality, you know, and also the entire cosmic edition series, it will dawn on you that God is the only God. You've been hearing it all this while, you've always suspected it, you've always known it. Or maybe you just you didn't know it, but you just accepted it that God is the only true God. After all, other religions also claim that their God is also the true, the only true God. But when you listen to these topics that I'm telling you, you would it will dawn on you that God is the only true God and that there is no other God. You suddenly start to view life differently, you just know it, you have gotten a hold of it. I know many Christians whose hearts have been turned away to idol worship because of hardships, even pastors, and how we seem that God was not answering them. Do you get? And they struggle and struggle and struggle, so they begin to doubt the existence of God. How many people have you heard tell you that they've never heard God talk to them before? Or maybe that is God alive? The other day I saw something when somebody said AI can answer questions on life or answer prayers or something like that. And then in the comment section, somebody now said you should focus more on you know having a proper relationship with God and you know praying to God, and then somebody else now responded and said, Well, AI actually answers. In other words, they are insinuating that God does not answer prayers, which it's a lie, okay? Because I've already told you that Christianity is a covenant, you need to have a covenant with him, whether it's you, whether it's somebody else that's related, you know, you just need to have a covenant. I have a covenant with God, for example. If you come to me and you say you want me to pray for you, God will hear me. I'll pray for you. Do you see? I can pray for as many people as I want to just because I have a covenant with him. But then somebody out of the blues just starts to blame God. You've never had a conversation with God, your parents or your family, as far as you know, you have never had any relationship with God all these years. You don't even know anything about him, apart from all the things that fly around about Jesus, you know, and all of that. And then you two, you repeat the same things, and then out of the blues, you have one big issue. Then you now start to complain that God does not answer you. You don't know anything about God. Let's start with that, okay? Because you can't stay from where you are and make wild assumptions about me and how you asked me for money and I refuse to give you when I don't even know that you exist. Of course, God knows that you exist, right? But we on I'm talking about on a personal basis now, okay? On God's rather, you exist as a person, but do you exist as a son? Do you see? So that's a different thing altogether. You need to come to him. Do you understand? And when you come to him, you have to believe that he is first, he exists first, and then afterwards, you know that he's a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. Have you diligently sought after him? These are issues that people just want to treat God as if God is just an idol, he is not an idol, he is a person, he's the one true God, he's the true person, he's the one that created you. From him, you exist. He you are existing because he's breathing you into existence. So at the end of the day, you want to get to know this person first. Even I'm telling you, even as a pastor of many years, right, it's usually not so straightforward. In fact, the deep deeper I get into this relationship with God, my prayers are not even that straightforward anymore. Do you get? There are so many things that God wants to teach me, there are so many things he wants to show me, and I have to submit to his leadership, I have to submit to his teaching, I have to submit to him all the time. This is not the time for me to start. So, if me at this stage now I have to submit to you, what about you? Do you understand my point? So, all of us, there's no time that we outgrow having a relationship with God. The deeper you get into a relationship with him, the deep see the rapid is very, very deep. The deeper you even go, although the deeper you go, it's sweeter, right? It's more rewarding and all of that, but there's no day we actually stop having that relationship with God. Okay, understanding enables you to get a hold of the truth for you to make it yours and for you to force it into your reality. So you need to get a hold of it. You also have to go a step further than understanding and get a hold of it. Yes, you've been listening to DIY Salvation. Have you gotten a hold of it? When you get a hold of something, it means that you are now conscious of it. John chapter 8, verse 32. Jesus said, And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. The word know there is ginosco is a Greek word, and it means to know something by experience until it becomes a part of you. So understanding is first head knowledge, is what I just taught you. Do you understand? So you just get it. I mean, I'm saying do you understand? All right, so it's first head knowledge, but after the head knowledge, you need to create room to spiritually absorb what you have understood. Do you get getting a hold of it? Is the actual spiritual absorption, you absorb the word, how by planting the word in your heart. Now, question how do you plant the word in your heart? When the word of God passes from your mind, first you you understand it with your mind. Once you understand it and you like what you hear, the next thing is that it has to pass from your mind to your mouth. Then you start to say it, you start to say it, you start to say it, you start to say it until it enters into your spirit. You will know. That's the reason why we say you keep saying these things, you have to say it, you have to set out a time for you to make confessions of your faith. I'm telling you, you have to say it. Because me, sometimes I'll I feel as if I know something, but when I'm not seeing the results in my life, I take out time, I start to confess it. Do you know? The more I confess it, it dawns on me. Even me, I feel as if I'm hearing it for the first time. And I'm like, wow, Christ in me is the hope of glory. Like it's different now. I've gotten a hold of it. Now it affects my mind, my worldview has changed. When you talk to me, I don't talk like somebody who has issues anymore because I already know that the divine mind has no issues. The only reason that I'm seeing issues in my life is because I have not yet aligned with the divine mind. Are you seeing that now? So, Genosco is when the word of God passes from your mind to your mouth, then to your spirit until it becomes your default response to life. This is how you plant the word of God in your heart. See, freedom that Jesus spoke about, it doesn't just come by hearing the truth. Listen to DIY salvation is one step. Okay, the next step is for you to absorb it. It's time for you to know the truth, for you to get a hold of the truth. It's for you to ginoscode the truth. Let the truth enter into your bloodstream, let it become your reflex. For example, if you're always battling with health, let's reread that scripture and you shall know the truth, and you shall ginoscode the truth about sickness, about disease, about poverty, etc. Just put it like that. And the truth shall make you free. Again, in this John chapter 8, right? In this John chapter 8, Jesus was teaching, and in earlier verses, he has said something, and he said that the truth is the Father. The Father is the only true one. So you should know that when he says you shall know the truth, he's talking about you shall know the Christ in you, and that truth will make you free. Once you get to the realization that you cannot be sick, not the you that we are seeing that is already sick. We're talking about the mind of Christ. The Christ in you cannot be sick because he has the mind of Christ. He cannot be broke, he cannot be poor, he cannot be disadvantaged, it cannot be taken advantage of. The Christ in you does not have any debts, does not owe anything. All is squared by the blood of Jesus. Do you see? Once you come to that realization, it's that truth that will make you free. Once you can get this into your system, if you can think on these things, if you can memorize it, think about it, say it to yourself every day as many times as possible. And when I'm talking about as many times as possible, I'm not talking about 20 times, I'm not talking about a hundred times, I'm talking about like tens of thousands of times, that kind of thing. Like until it enters your spirit that you just suddenly know that you are free. I'm telling you, let me give you one testimony. So there was a time I was having these battles, these spiritual battles, right? It was very obvious that someone was hexing me, right? Now I'm a pastor, so of course the hex was not showing in my body, but I'm someone who is very sensitive. So it was giving me sleepless nights. Not like I was not sleeping, I will sleep, but I'll I will see everything they are doing. So it was disturbing my sleep. Do you get? So I will see everything that they were doing. Every so it this went on for months. So it will happen that they will do this, then I'll go to that particular place where they took my stuff to, and I'll take it back. Do you get? Then they will do another one again, then I will, I will see, I'll have a dream about it. I will just go straight to that place, I'll take it back. So, and then when we meet one-on-one, we know what is going on. Like that knowing, we look at each other, we we know. Do you understand that the battle is ongoing? One day, I told God, I said, I cried out to God, I said, God, can you deliver me from this matter? And then God said, Christ in you is the hope of glory. So you have to activate Christ in you. How did I activate Christ in me? I had to meditate upon the mind of Christ for me to understand that. See, as in as Christ, I cannot be hexed. I am seated in heavenly places in Christ, far above. And I told you, if you listen to early on and the stack dimensions of reality, you will understand your authority in Christ, far above principalities and powers. That positioning alone. Do you understand? So when I when I started, it's not just thinking about it, I started saying this thing to myself. I started saying it to myself, I was memorizing it, I was saying it, you know. Was saying, I kept on confessing and confessing. Do you know one day I just woke up and all suffering has ceased? It was done. That is it. That was the end of it. You know, there was no more dreams, no more attacks, nothing again. Now I don't know whether or not there's they still continue in their whatever, but I am no longer conscious of them. I am more conscious about the Christ life. Do you understand? I am more conscious about Christ in me. So that consciousness of Christ in me trumps every other thing. It's the biggest idea, it's the biggest thoughts. It is the biggest mindset, is the biggest reality. There's nothing that is above Christ. Do you see? Because Christ is God, and Christ in me is the hope of glory. So now that was how all suffering has ceased. This is what I'm trying to tell you. You're looking for a lasting change in your situation. Christ in you is the hope of glory. You need to get understanding. You have to come to that realization that you are who the Bible says, who God, you are who God says you are. You can do what God says you can do, and you have what God says you have. And the moment you come to that realization, you have to start to speak these things, speak these things until you know it. Even if people are, you know, you owe a lot of money, you're in debt, and people are disturbing you that you need to pay, you know it that Christ cannot owe anything. Do you get? Because all is squared by the blood of Jesus. And when you keep on meditating on these things and saying these things, you will see how everything will be all obligations will be miraculously sorted out. You will be miraculously wiped out. Why? Because your reality is that you are one with God, you are one spirit with the Lord. That is your reality. And God has no death because everything belongs to Him. God owns the entire universe, so He has no deaths, He owes no man anything. And you understand what I'm saying? So you plant the word in your heart by speaking what you know, let it set you free. When the word of God grows mightily in you, it will prevail over every circumstance that you are being faced with. And that's the reason why the Bible says in Acts chapter 19, verse 20, and it says, So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. The word of God prevails only when it grows, and it only grows when you keep hearing it and hearing yourself speaking it. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word. We always think about it as listening to a preacher, but what about hearing your own voice speaking the word of God? Do you see? So take a hold of it and speak it. Paul told Timothy, take heed onto the doctrine and continue in them. To continue means for you to hold on tightly, don't let it go. All your challenges in life were designed to take your focus off of the things that really matter. That is the things of the Bible, the things of the kingdom of God, rather. Don't let life snatch the truth from you. And the way you hold on to it is simple. I've told you. You say it, then keep saying it until it becomes who you are. Okay? The Bible calls confessing homologous. It means for you to say the same thing that God is saying. This is how you receive prophecy. A prophetic word is not fulfilled because it was spoken over your head. It is fulfilled when you start speaking it over your life. Joshua chapter 1, verse 8 says, This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. Mouth first, success later. This is the kingdom protocol. A big thank you to all our financial supporters. God reward you mightily in the name of Jesus.
