Bible Question:
How can I know if what I heard was truly from God? I am new to the forum and have been hearing people say that God speaks through His Word- His Son(John1). Okay! I want to get some clarification--- so is that to say that God cannot tell a person-"Don't go to that place" that particular thing is not "in the Bible" so is it not of God. I'm being way over the top in order to get some understanding. Or are you saying that a scripture or something from the Word should always confirm what you "heard" in order for you to know that it was God. Is this what it means to "test" the spirit. The main reason why I ask is because I believe God spoke something to me but it doesn't make ssense to me seeing as though I'm trying to get closer to Him and what I heard doesn't line up at all in the natural, what I can see right now. I didn't hear that I should act on this, but it has been bothering me cause I'm wondering if it's me or the devil trying to get my mind off. I don't want to be operating in familiar spirits. What's a suggestion? Sorry this is so long!! |
