Of course He does, he wants us to exercise every gift He's given in order to serve Him by loving each other according to the will of God.

Absolutely.

He wants us to develop and use our intellect, develop and use our will, all of our skills

He wants us to develop the human virtues...which are habits of pursuing the good.

And He wants us to "use" each other in order to the good, and that includes the collective wisdom of the Church.

When we "run out of intellect"...when we're not able to fully understand something...He wants us to ask for faith and then to use it. 

"Faith" allows us to be a bit closer to Him..as our intellect can only take us close to Him.
