When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you gain full access to the Spirit of Understanding.

This is when you obtain God’s perception.

You could think of it as interpretation. We receive a tongue from the Spirit of Wisdom and then the interpretation from the Spirit of Understanding. We receive a dream from the Spirit of Wisdom and the interpretation from the Spirit of Understanding.

Don't get this confused with the human version of understanding.

After a lengthy explanation of something and much time spent walking it out through trial and error, we gain human understanding. Even then, our understanding is incomplete.

But the Spirit of Understanding is like being in a dark room when someone turns on the light. All of a sudden, you can clearly see something that was previously dark.

The Spirit of Understanding is a gift from God.

You don’t have to sit in a quiet room and wear yourself out trying to figure something out. No, you can simply ask God to give you understanding and then trust that it will come right when you need it.
