Is my faith lying?

I am a person of very strong convictions. Some people have called me driven. I havehad struggles in life because at times, I speak before I actually have the thing. Most times I get what I spoke, but there are times I have not gotten what I spoke. I feel like I am calling those things that be not as though they are, but my critics make me feel like I am lying.
It is intuition when I am right and a bad guess when I miss it. Where is the balance between lying and speaking in faith? Let me know your views.

If you want to be taken seriously, say things that are based on good reasoning, this allows many different people the chance to understand you. If you speak out of intuition and feelings, it is hard for people to appreciate what you say because they have their own feelings and intuition that often is different from yours. You must realise that people think differently and the best way to communicate is through reason and logic because we are all able to understand it if we give it a chance.

I agree and have begun to choose my words more carefully. I believe that you have to be careful what you "reveal" to people. Do you believe then that there are some experiences that occur within the Christian faith that are beyond logic and reason? That is the part that most concerns me. When the unseen is not "gotten."
