You have to turn off your “hairy reasoner” in order to hear clearly from God. Get your focus from your understanding down into your spirit man who lives in your innermost being. Center your thoughts down in your belly, in your guts, in your “reigns” as the Bible calls it (perhaps because you reign yourself, or lead or guide yourself from this place). Be led by the Spirit, who lives in you and is with you. Out of your belly will flow rivers of living water, Jesus said in John 7:38. “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly” states Proverbs 20:27 (NKJ). Stop trying to understand with your mind which was created as a receptor of sense information, in order to learn about the physical world. That is all your mind knows. BUT, your spirit inside you can know the wisdom, revelation, knowledge, and leading of God, when you purposely choose to “switch” from your head to your “heart” area and listen, and wait, and desire to hear Him speak to you!
