Insight

Daniel 5:14 (NIV)

You have insight

Spiritual insight, or the ability to look into the deep secrets of God, is not acquired by a high IQ but by receiving the Holy Spirit. Daniel was blessed with this keen spiritual insight and was able to interpret the King's dreams. Insight is not merely understanding an issue but the ability to assess its origins and implications, and extrapolate it into the future. To discern the things of God, a saint must be in constant communion with God, walk in the Holy Spirit, and have no unconfessed sin in their lives. The insight that the Holy Spirit gives us is not fortune-telling or soothsaying, but the ability to interpret and analyze the word of God to feed the hungry souls.
