How do you know if you are hearing God or something other than? I say knowing His Word helps. Being in His Word and allowing it to renew your mind and develop in you a new way of thinking and processing information. Then you can Test what you are hearing in your heart and discern with the Time you have spent in HIs Word. All Truth points to God and His Truth. Let His Word flush out the ways of the world and all its deception one verse at a Time.
