I am also unable to find any statement in Scripture which suggests that we should ever seek to understand God's will through inward guidance alone. This doesn't mean that our intuitive impressions have no role in guidance. Indeed, they have a vital function. But the way in which we understand their role has critical bearing on whether they enlighten us or mislead us. Generally, we do best to regard our intuition not as the direct voice of God's Spirit but as a window on our deepest feelings.
Psychologists observe that much of our mental process goes on subconsciously.
This insight can be critical, for our subconscious often processes information better than our conscious mind does. Our intuition, then, is telling us what underneath we most want to do or think we really ought to do. It's our best insight into what we perceive God wants us to do at this time. Our intuitive insights are part of the enlightenment he provides us at any given time. They are our perception of what God wants us to do, a perception that may still need some room to develop.
