Our heart is the garden spot, the soil which God has provided for us to produce whatever we need in life.  Adam had a garden which God gave him to keep named the Garden of Eden.  It supplied everything Adam needed, but he failed to protect and keep it.  Adam allowed Satan access and he polluted it.

Jesus came and restored the Garden, and now it abides within us believers.  Jesus said that the Kingdom is within us.  Now the born-again human spirit which is in us is like a garden which will produce everything we need in this life.

Our spirit is capable of leading us to anything we need.  It has the wisdom to lead us because it's in contact with God's Holy Spirit.  The Spirit knows all about God because He is God. 

The Apostle Paul talked about this is 1 Corinthians2:11,12:

For what man knows the things of a man, except the spirit of man which is in him?  Even so the things of God no man knows except the Spirit of God.  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Paul is saying here that we don't know all about ourselves, but our spirit does.  Our human spriit knows all about us.  No man knows all about me, but my spirit does.  No man knows all about God, but the Holy Spirit does.

When we can get those two spirits together we tap the source of all knowledge.  Our spirit will search the avenues of God's wisdom, find a way to get confessions from the Word of God, and cause His Word to come to pass in our life.
