So many today are “hearing from God.” What they purport to hear ranges from inconsequential things to major life changes. If you are hearing make sure it is God. There is another who speaks also and delights in leading God’s children in the wrong direction.
First of all, make sure what you are being told lines up with Scripture and the true nature of God. God would not tell you to do something or go somewhere that did not line up with His Word and His character.
Second, test the S(s)pirit you are hearing. Ask if it is the Spirit that believes that Jesus Christ lived and died for the salvation of mankind and rose from the dead for eternal salvation as the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
Finally, seek wise counsel. Seek wise counsel and listen. God puts people with wisdom and discernment in your path to speak into your situation. Hear them. Hear God through them.
These times are treacherous indeed. The enemy will speak loudly to you to divert you from God’s best for you. Do not take the bait!
For it is written:
“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”
James 1:22
“He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.””
Jesus
Luke 11:28
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.”
1 John 4:1-3
“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel.”
Proverbs 12:15
“Where there is no guidance the people fall, but in abundance of counselors there is victory.”
Proverbs 11:14
“Through insolence comes nothing but strife, But wisdom is with those who receive counsel.”
Proverbs 13:10
