This is a continuation of Do and teach. So read that first if you haven't.
Knowledge and understanding are not bad things it's just not the place we want to teach from. We want to teach from wisdom and revelation which comes from the Holy Spirit. We can take Knowledge and understanding and meet God with that head knowledge and receive wisdom and revelation from Him. It's going from a place of "knowing about" things to actually "knowing (yedah)" them. "It's taking the things we know and bridging them over to the unknown"- AW Tozer. Knowledge and understanding are good things and they can be the beginning of something great, it becomes a great platform to jump off of, but lasting fruit does not come from that place. It comes from God, when you encounter Him and let him teach you. Let the scriptures be illuminated to you by the Spirit.
For example: The Pharisees always taught out of knowledge/understanding of the law, but they never saw it with God's eyes. Jesus saw where the Father was going when the law came into place. He met with the Father then taught from that place of wisdom and revelation. Crucial difference between Pharisees and Jesus. Jesus had the Father's perspective because He met with him and taught from that place instead of some words he got from a book or some things he heard from the mouths of the surrounding people.
