Many factors hinder believers who want to know and walk in the perfect will of God.
SIN
(Sin according to the King James Bible dictionary is The voluntary departure of a moral agent from a known rule of rectitude or duty, prescribed by God any voluntary transgression of the divine law, or violation of a divine command a wicked act iniquity. it is the voluntary neglect to obey a positive divine command, or a rule of duty clearly implied in such command. Sin comprehends not action only, but neglect of known duty, all evil thoughts purposes, words, and desires, whatever is contrary to God's commands or law.)
Sin deadens the sensitivity of your spirit, one who joyously engage in sinning, Will not experience the move and leading of the Holy Spirit in their life as one who is separated unto God. Such a person who enjoys commiting Sin is still in the dark and is like a moving vehicle with an unknown destination.
Sin makes a man hate the things of God,
Sin makes the things of God seem boring to carnal people because they've given themselves up to sin
Sin fuels negative addictions which hinder people from knowing and doing the will of God, because they enjoy the bad habits and are not willing to give them up soon.
PRIDE
According to the King James Bible dictionary,
PRIDE, n.
1. Inordinate self-esteem an unreasonable conceit of one's own superiority in talents, beauty, wealth, accomplishments, rank or elevation in office, which manifests itself in lofty airs, distance, reserve, and often in contempt of others.
Pride will make a man feel too proud and arrogant to even desire the will of God, not to speak of submitting to it.
Pride will make a man feel too big to pick up His Bible to study the word of God to know and to do His will
Pride will make a feel too important to pray to God, Prayer is a conversation between man and God, some dimensions of God's will are known in the place of prayer,
Pride will make a man feel too self-righteous, Such a proud person will feel that they know God to the fullest, that they already know the will of God for their life, They don't need to hear God any more, because they feel that they know God's will and believe that they're doing it, still on the right track but unknown to them, they missed the way a long time ago.
