Holy Spirit Guidance

Believers are seeking for Holy Spirit guidance in so many areas in their lives. Some even go to absurd lengths like what dress to wear for the party etc. Now it is so true and necessary for us to receive specific guidance for specific situations. But what we do not usually realise is the Holy Spirit can give specific instructions only to those who are ready for it. We fail to receive clear guidance sometimes just because we are not ready for fuller obedience. I have seen people tell me that they are willing to fast and pray if they are specifically told to by Holy Spirit. Well, why don't we fast and pray so that we can be better prepared for Holy Spirit instructions? Our spirit is willing but our flesh is weak. Unless we learn to overcome the flesh, we may never enter into the deeper things of God.
