Having the spiritual shrewdness to make wise decisions is critical in life. Discernment is an asset that is not acquired instantly, but grows out of a life totally consecrated to and dependent upon God.
First we must confess our sins and allow God complete access to our mind and will. When we disobey God in word, action, or motive, there is a hindrance and it is difficult to receive clear guidance.
When you struggle between your will and God’s will, you don’t get a clear message. Your mind and will are divided and you cannot know what God is saying.
