Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: KJV
TUNE IN PROPERLY TO THE SPIRIT'S FREQUENCY
I love to use the old transistor radio to illustrate hearing from God and receiving clear direction. When we were growing up, most people in my age bracket and those that are older grew up in an environment where analog radio is common unlike today's children who listen to digital radio with a scan button. The analog transistor radio has an antenna and a tuning knob. If you want to listen to a program on a particular radio station clearly, you'll have to tune the radio to the right frequency using the knob. Most times, when you're close to the frequency of the desired radio station, there could be interference from another radio station whose frequency is close to the one you desire. At that moment, you'll be hearing two different programs almost at the same time. It creates a confusion because of the cacophony of voices. The solution at that time is to slowly tune in to the right frequency using the knob until there's a clear signal.
Sometimes, the inner confusion we experience at the point of making decision is similar to the illustration given above. There are times we get to that point where we are disturbed within because of the cacophony of voices. Sometimes, it is as though two to three voices are speaking all at once and imaginations are running wild already. I have been there severally and I know you may have experienced this as well. Anyone in this state or condition is superbly confused. It is not advisable to take any action under this condition. So, how can you tune your spirit man to the frequency of the Spirit where confusion doesn't exist and where direction is clear? The simple thing to do is to worship God with spirit lifting music and pray in the Holy Ghost.
Creating an atmosphere of worship makes your spirit man tender and receptive while praying in tongues tunes your spirit man to the frequency of the Spirit properly. Paul said, "He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself;...",1 Corinthians 14:4. That self edification is what you need to dispel confusion and receive clarity of instruction from God. This is not something you do once and stop. You have to keep doing this until you find it easy to tune in to the frequency of the Holy Spirit. Don't let the devil keep you in a state of confusion one more day. You have an advantage of the Spirit's baptism on your side. On daily basis, set your heart on that issue and pray in tongues extensively about it. The day/ moment will come when a light will beam out of your spirit man on the issue. You'll just recognize what God is saying accurately and confusion will disappear.
CONFESSION: I refuse to be confused. I am not a candidate of wrong decision in Jesus name.
