Hesed Ojieh argues that faith is not a feeling but a mental understanding that must become your conscious standpoint. Without the right understanding as your pilot, faith cannot produce tangible results in healing, wealth, or any other area of life.
Hebrews 11:3 says, by faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that the things which are seen, the visible things, the things you see with your eyes, was not made out of that which is you see. So this is what I want to share with you. Look at the world. It says we understand, we understand. Look at the world. Why is understanding required for you to see that which you already have? We understand. Do you know that everything that you need is already available inside of you? What is missing is your understanding, because when you understand, then you can stand. Not just stand, you can stand firmly. So the reason is because faith is first. Listen to this. Because faith is first mental. People think faith is spiritual. Faith is already spiritual. You can't add any more spiritual power to faith. Faith is already spiritual. For it, by that faith, the world was created. The Bible says the elders obtained a good report by faith. Faith is already powerful, potent, powerful. But what is missing is that faith needs to move from the spiritual to the mental. He says, now we understand. The writer of Hebrews says, now we understand that the next level of your faith is understanding. A lot of people say, I'm healed, I'm healed, I'm blessed. They don't understand what they are saying. Until faith marries understanding, there's no birth of the supernatural. You know you are healed, but you're thinking sick. You know you're rich, but you're thinking broke. So your thought, your thinking, your understanding is contrary to the faith that is already at work in you. There has to be a relationship with your understanding. So it's important that faith is an understanding. Faith is an understanding, is a standpoint. So, see, we understand. So he's saying, for you to see the supernatural miracle of God, where is your standpoint? Where are you standing? What is your mental standpoint? You cannot ask for something that you are not standing for. It's a faith. So when you say, in Jesus' name, I'm healed, oh, I'm rich, I'm wealthy, faith is speaking. But faith needs a pilot called understanding. A lot of people, you don't understand that faith is a way of understanding. Faith is the way of understanding things. When I look at things, when I look at things in my life, when I look at things as I teach people faith is a standpoint— it's a standpoint! Faith is a standpoint, is the way you stand, is the way you see things, is the way you understand things, is the way you act upon things. Faith is an understanding, is an understa— if you don't have it, you don't have it. If you don't have it, you don't have it. You can't have worry and doubt and have faith. Faith is an understanding is an understanding. You understand what is going on, that this problem is spiritual, is not physical. This situation is not permanent. It's an understanding. He said we understand. So faith is an understanding. It's not a— it's not a statement, it's an understanding. It's not an estimate, it's an understanding. You have to understand because understanding means a standpoint. Faith— there are lots of wealthy, wealthy people that are dying broke. There are a lot of sick people with a sick understanding, a lot of broke people with a broke understanding. See, the problem is not what you're facing, is your understanding. We understand. So faith is an understanding. It's not just where you are, is who you are. Because you have to understand that faith is not what is missing, is creating what needs to be created. So you have to understand that It means that you're not trying to be healed, you're already healed. That is a standpoint. So we understand that for faith to work with healing in your life, there has to be understanding. I understand that by his stripes I am healed. For faith to work in your marriage, you have to understand that two cannot work together except they agree. So there's a standpoint of agreement. No matter the quarrel, I will agree. So that we can come together and resolve the problem. You understand? Is a sta fi, is a standpoint. So what is missing and what is gotten is totally different. So it means that faith is not just what is created, is what begins with a, with an understanding. Everything that you want to see in your life, you pray for in your life, you believe in your life, is a standpoint. So we understand, Seba Fit, we understand, we understand is a standpoint. See, everything was created and everything can be created in this realm. Understanding is the language of faith. Understanding. I understand that this is going to work out for my good. I understand that this, all things are coming together. I understand that I can never be the tail because I'm the head. I can never be at the tail and the head at the same time. I understand it is a personal, internal, inbuilt systems of operating, systems of acting. You don't just act anyhow, you act from understanding. You don't act from fear and doubt and worry. You don't act from scarcity, you act from abundance. And no matter what is not in my hand, there's something God has left with me that can produce what I have. So I'm no longer going to be perturbed and troubled and worried about what I don't have, because what I don't have is the language of faith that needs to come out of me. Understand. You have to understand that we understand means— we understand means that the principles that is interpreted internally is the structure for breakthrough on the outside. You have to understand and start thinking unstoppable, and you can never be stopped. He said, 'Buffett will understand.' So you understand what understanding is now. And I believe God, that God is about to do some mighty things in your life. Understanding is very powerful. You have to understand that what you see is temporary. What you're experiencing is not real, is a scam. What you are thinking is a problem is an opportunity. What your greatest issue right now is an opportunity for faith. See, by faith we understand that that which was created— the chair, the house, the shoe, the food— all of that came out of the invincible. That means what you've seen in the natural is only, is only temporal and it's not real. Because if you understand that God is still creating things through you by faith, you will know that your future Future is not in what happened, but what is happening, what you make happen.
