Bible Answer: You are starting to take the right steps by reading your Bible and praying. One way of knowing if God is speaking to you and it is not your own thoughts is comparing it with God's Word (Bible). God will not contradict Himself. IF the thoughts don't align with the Bible, then obviously they are not from God. Is there a little bell that goes off or loud whistle when God speaks? Nope, although I think He needs to use something like that to get my attention from time to time. A warning that I would like to give you, is be very careful about taking just one scripture and saying God said 'this' to me through 'this' scripture. I have seen scripture(s) taken out of context and used wrongfully. If you pray and study God's Word, as you grow closer to God you will recognize His voice. As with any good friendship, as it develops you are able to recognize that friend without a doubt. The good Lord already recognizes us; we just have to develop that friendship so we can recognize Him. I don’t know if you are much of a dog person, but if you are maybe this help. When you first get a puppy, that puppy will go to any stranger and wanders from person to person. Anyone can call the puppy and it will come or some will just ignore the voices and do its own thing. Yet as the puppy grows and becomes familiar with his master’s voice, the dog can discern that voice from amongst all the other voices. The dog recognizes and learns to follow his master’s voice. Just as we grow as Christians and spend time with our Master, we grow to discern the voice of God from amongst all the noise. Brad |
