Train Your Mind
Many times I've had people ask, "How do you know it's God you are hearing?" For us to discern the difference in God whispers and devil demands, we need to know God. If we are in the habit of opening His Word daily, practicing listening prayers, then we develop a discerning ear. God's instructions, God's discipline, God's encouraging and comforting will never stray from lining up with what the Bible says.
God whispers are holy whispers.
"Always live as God's holy people should, because God is the one who chose you, and he is holy. That's why the Scriptures say, 'I am the holy God, and you must be holy too.' (1 Peter 1:15-16)"
Paul is teaching believers in 2 Corinthians 10:5 to "take every thought captive" remembering we walk in the flesh, but have spiritual weapons to aid the very real warfare that confronts us in the spiritual realm.
"For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete."
2 Corinthians 10:3-6
Lets keep listening and learn to recognize the voice of a loving Father.
