1 | Is a thought from God or satan ? | Prov 16:3 | newhall_fred | 188173 | ||
When a thought "appears" in my mind or heart related to a matter about which I've prayed to God, how can I be sure that it's from God and NOT from satan ? PLEASE provide scriptural proof for the answer !!!!!! | ||||||
2 | Is a thought from God or satan ? | Prov 16:3 | DocTrinsograce | 188174 | ||
Hi, Newhall... There's a third alternative that's probably a lot more likely. The human mind has all kinds of stuff going through it all the time. Work on the clear commands of Scripture (Deuteronomy 28:9), and God will provide the wisdom for the "gray" areas. In Him, Doc |

Hi Fred, What Doc said is very true. Once you are aware of what Scripture says, it's not so difficult. But I thought I might could help add a little down-to-earth counsel - at least, this helps me sometimes: Your own mind: if I find myself rationalizing that it's not completely off the Word of God, kind of on the Word - more prayer time and searching of the Scripture is needed. The devil: when it's just slightly off the Word, if I've been in prayer and searching the Word but I can't see Jesus or Paul or any of the apostles doing it, it might be best to let the idea go. (My own spirit won't be comfortable with the go-ahead.) God: It's right on the Word, I can easily see Jesus or any Spirit-filled person doing the thing in question. (And the Spirit witnesses with my own spirit that it's a godly thing to do.) If I really can't figure it out, I'll ask another believer or a Pastor to pray with me about the thing - that's what the brothers and sisters in the Lord are all about. Upholding and encouraging and exhorting the brethren. Hope this helps cheri |

Sorry, I forgot the Scripture you wanted. Your own mind: Rom. 7:15-25 The devil: Gen. 3:1-7; Mt. 4:3, 5-6, 8-9 God: 1 Cor. 2:16 just to get you started. |
