“It is not my will but Yours be done.” Luke 22:42
Religion teaches you confusion is caused by Satan and it is an easy solution to clear your mind of all confusion. This is a very simplistic and shallow view of this subject.
Confusion comes because you cannot understand God. Jesus is not predictable and does not allow you to see very far into the future.
Fiery trials begin to happen in your life. God seems to take you to places that make no sense. At times, it seems like God does not want order or peace in your life.
You and I are human beings incapable of thinking or acting like God. We become confused because we cannot understand why God is so unpredictable and illogical in His actions.
At times, He seems cruel and harsh. Why would a neighbor slam the door on a man simply asking for a loaf of bread?
God is doing an invisible work to perfect you in His ways.
It is impossible to find spiritual clarity through intellectual reasoning or logic.
God is testing you to see if you can live in oneness with Him when He seems vague and all you can see is a blanket of fog.
The purpose of God is to mold you into a person who is totally devoted and obedient to Jesus.
Jesus wants you to be able to function in difficult situations trusting Him for your every need.
The upmost importance in the mind of God is sin. It defines your relationship with God.
Your self nature has to die before you can be a powerful witness for Jesus.
God has to prove that you can do nothing without the efficacy of the Holy Spirit.
God works in many diverse ways to demonstrate you are unworthy, undeserving and have nothing of value to offer to Jesus.
God desires for you to live in oneness with Him without any conscIousness of His plans for you. This is difficult because religion teaches you must be in a works driven ministry and as believers we an inner passion to do things to please God. This can cause anguish and confusion in the lives of believers.
The method of dealing with spiritual confusion is to pray vigilantly, speak praises to God and listen for His voice.
Walk by faith and take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus.
Rest in God and do not make any big decisions until the cloud is lifted off and God gives you the perfect clarity of the mind of Christ.
