![]() The Way To Tell If It Is God's Voice Or Satans Voice ****God's Voice Or Satans Voice**** Satan will try many tricks to convince us to listen to him instead of God. The devil is always on the prowl to confuse us or put fear into us. We also need to recognize that Satan's voice sometimes comes through the words of other people. The Bible tells us that there is a way to tell Satan's voice from that of our Lord. This is how it is done: 1. Gods voice says - Consider the effects of your behavior on others. Live a Selfless, self-giving life. 1. Satans voice says - Do your own thing; do what you want to do. 2. Gods voice says - Live with an eye to eternity. 2. Satans voice says - Live for the moment. 3. Gods voice says - Receive godly counsel. 3. Satans voice says - Don't concern yourself with what others say. 4. Gods voice says - Continue to grow and mature and to become more and more like Jesus Christ. 4. Satans voice says - You're as mature as you ever need to be. You're a grown - up. ****God's Way**** When following the Lords message this will bring you peace. ****Satan's Way**** When following Satan's way this will bring worry, frustration and dismay. ****The Effects On Other People**** God sees what we say and do on others. He will never ask us to do harsh or crude behavior. He will never lead us to hurt another person, emotionally, spiritually, or materially. God works for the good of his people. But for Satan he tells us not to worry what we do on other peoples lives. He says we should do whatever we please. ****God's Never In A Hurry**** God continually seeks fulfillment for us in his plans and purpose. Satan encourages us to act immediately. We are better off to hold off and get our details in their proper places. It sure isn't easy to wait patiently before God until you are sure what message God is giving you. The results are surely more satisfying when you know that you have heard God's entire message. ****Seek Godly Counsel**** It is best to seek counsel from people who truly love the Lord and are for sure firmly grounded in "His Word". ****Value Spiritual Growth**** Gods messages are what he wants for us. The messages are the yeilding to Him, giving our lives to Him, our taking up the Cross for Him. Giving everything up for Him. Satan tells us we are wise enough in making our own decisions. We sure do err if we put our own trust in our own efforts and fail to get the wisdom of God. The results are disasterous. We find that we are in trouble when we make our own decisions. ****Peace Beyond Understanding**** Satans voice gives us a nagging, gnawing feeling of frustration in our spirit. God's voice brings us calmness in the spirit. This peace gives us a settled heart. Some people have calloused consciences and don't feel anything in some of their decisions. When you hear from God and reach you decision about something, you will have peace, purpose and calmness. With Satan you feel worried, frustrated, out of sorts, or uneasy. ****Identifying Gods Voice**** Within time you grow to be able to discern if it is Gods voice or Satans voice. This also goes for other people with whom you have relationships with. ![]() ![]() If you have a site that you have written your own personal poetry and would like to be added to my "Beginner Poetry Page", just email me and I will check out your site. ****No Pornographic Or Adult Sites**** ![]()
