Charles,

What does this mean to you? I Corinthians 2:1-5

1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."

God's ways are different, Charles.
Anyone wanting to find God must seek Him as He is, not as they choose to seek.

In short, and very simply: These "man's wisdom" thoughts you possess are keeping you from God.
