The Kingdom of God is all about mysteries. Thus the need to offer up the “prayer for understanding kingdom mysteries“.
Such prayers are due to the fact that the kingdom of God is full of truths. And these truths are meant to be understood by those that have accepted Jesus Christ into their lives as Saviour and Lord. For it has been given (granted) for them to understand kingdom mysteries. It is their right as kingdom citizens.
”10 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” 11 And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says: “‘“You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.” 15 For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 17 For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
Matthew 13:10-17English Standard Version (ESV)
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Helper who enables us to understand kingdom mysteries. In other words, the Holy Spirit helps us to understand the truths of the kingdom that are communicated to us through dreams and visions (Joel 2:28).
Prayer for Understanding Kingdom Mysteries
The dreams and visions that are used to communicate kingdom mysteries to us are most often than not laden with symbols. It is these symbols that represent kingdom truths or realities.
Therefore, for you to understand kingdom mysteries, it will be necessary for you to understand what the symbols in the dream or vision represent. Once you do this, then you will be able to get what is happening in the spiritual realm. And you will definitely become fruitful.
All in all, understanding kingdom mysteries has a promise attached to it. And that is: “understanding attracts more understanding”. In fact, Matthew asserts that “he who has will be given more”.
