How to Know If It's God Speaking
"Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good."
(1 Thessalonians 5:20-21)
All Christians recognize that God speaks to them. However, most of us struggle with discerning whether what we sense is from God or not.
We wonder:
Was that God?
Or was that the enemy, trying to lead me astray?
Or was that just my human desires?
Or was that simply the side effect of eating too much cheese late last night?! 🧀
While Scripture is the yardstick against which any prophetic revelation must be measured, there will still be lots of instances when you need additional discernment tools.
Generally we are making choices between two or three perfectly decent options, but where we sense that God could be nudging us in a certain direction. In such moments there usually isn’t a Bible verse that will make the decision for us! This is why we need to follow the teaching of the New Testament and learn to be led by the Spirit in these everyday decisions.
