This post assumes that you have the Holy Spirit because you have asked Jesus to forgive your sins and to come into your life and be your Savior and Lord. That’s step one. If you’re from another religion, don’t bother reading farther.
I’m also assuming that you have a bible reading habit. You have to know God’s word to be able to discern what is of God.
For years, I’ve been advocating for everyone to have a prayer journal. It’s really important to have a record of your prayers. So that you can look back and see what God has done in your life. Even I have one up on amazon for ninety-nine cents because amazon didn’t allow me to put it for free.
Get yourself a notebook and write down your prayers. Whatever’s on your heart jot it down. Then stop and listen for God’s voice. Do this for 30 days to get good at understanding the different voices we hear.
If a voice tells you to do something that is contradictory to the Bible, it’s not from God.
