God has a mind and so does man. At the risk of oversimplifying, God's plan for you is to Trust 
Him, allowing His mind be your mind. Your interpretation of Truth is subject to your current mindset. If you're open to God, you'll receive openly, seeing from His point of view. If you are not open to God, your perception of Truth is cloudy.
Don't be discouraged if your view is of the world, because Jesus will re-appear to you, just as He seems to be hiding behind the clouds. The entire job description of God is to Be God. At first, your entire job description is to 'receive' (believe). Once you 'receive' (believe), your entire job description is to 'Be'. Shakespeare had it right: "To be or not to be, that 'is' the question." Both cannot co-exist simultaneously.
Are you rightly dividing The Word? Who cares! The question should be, "Are you honest, open and willing with God?" Be aware of your mindset. Admit freely if you are struggling. God desires to speak to you about you're attempt to hide behind fig leaves. Are you viewing from man's perspective or God's? Your interpretation (or viewpoint) will change depending on your current mindset (i.e., outer court, inner court, or most Holy Place). The way you define subjects like 'sin' offer an indication of your present reality of God; and self. Love is the greatest. We can only Love 'as' we are loved. Regardless of your mindset, it's out of the abundance of your heart you speak and have placed your hope. Manually changing your mind won't work. I like to use the acrostic, H-O-W. It takes (H)honesty (confession is good for you). Then (O)openness (be open to let go and change). Then (W)willingness (willing to go with God). It's then, His Love energy flows from God, then back to Him, in a never ending circle. If you want to experience the never ending Love of God, take Him at His Word.
Now; meditate on something. "Without vision, my people perish?" God freely wants to give you His vision, and it's much bigger than a ministry or church. It's love.
Always loving you, David
PS. God tore the veil from TOP down in restoring the Tabernacle of David. He literally came to live with man, where man previously could only 'visit' God. In doing so, He disarmed man's methods for getting needs met, openly putting them to a shame. Master builders (our natural minds 'and' self-righteous leaders) reject the finished work of the cross, possibly because the natural mind demands participation and credit. Saved by grace, our sin is remembered no more. From this point forward, if our condition has truly changed, we spontaneously cease 'asking' for forgiveness daily, and start 'receiving' it daily. Our entire mindset has changed from future to present.
