Knowing God's Voice
How do you know when God speaks to you? I mean how do you distinguish between hearing your own flesh, the crafty voice of the devil (who sometimes in confusion sounds like God), and really hearing God? I have had times when I realized that I was at a crossroads and making the right decision was very important. I think at these times, the battle of good and evil are at the highest levels so much so that you can actually see it. You know when you look at someone and they seem so lost, worried and utterly confused about which way to turn; that you can see the war of self, God, and the devil at work. At these times there is usually someone around to say to you "Just pray and listen to the voice of God". The problem with listening is that the voice that you hear and may think is God may not be. There are people out there who kill their children and say God told them to deliver them. I know in the bible that God has asked for children to be slain just to see how obedient someone would be but I don't recall any bible stories where God actually had it done. (I could be wrong because I don't know the whole bible by heart :0) So how do you really know when it's God? For a person who is so confused in a decision and who is listening all the voices in their head; how do you explain to them how to distinguish between God's voice, their own, and that of satan? I need some help with this one because I know God's voice for myself but I can't explain it to someone else.

Your on it today Nicole,
This Blog today is right where I've been for the past 6 days.Waiting and listening for God to speak.''His Voice''...My comment is this,When God speaks to you, there is Always a PEACE afterwards.Nothing he says brings confusion.The voice of God is sweet loving and caring and even when he corrects us his voice is still sweet.So How do you know it's really God,Wait and remember God's voice is sweet and never ever will be of confusion.God's voice always lines up with the truth.His will and not ours.There will always be PEACE afterwards,Our voice might tell us what we think, and still have you confused.The devils voice is always a way to destroy you,always a set up and you never have peace because deep down inside you know it was him.He will never tell you what God says in truth, he'll always twist it.God's voice will line up with the word
Your voice sounds the same but you have to listen closely because the devil can sound the same as your voice.Gods voice is the voice that sounds the sweetest of all.God also tells you the right thing all the time,but the devil will try to get you to do the wrong thing but its your choice!Do the right thing and hear GOD!
Wow, great thoughts from both of you. I will try to convey this to my friend who is lost right now.
