Rep Power: 2 Leonidus is on a distinguished road
Question My mind says certain things to me, how do I know it comes from the HOLY SPIRIT?

Some times I get certain bad feelings about certain people. But most of the time I don’t let others know it, because when I do say it to the world if I’m wrong I will be displeasing GOD. Furthermore if a thought says a person is not trustworthy this will be passing a judgment on him.

Bible says “Do not judge others so you shall not be judged”

e.g.: Some times we get feelings from inside (as if some one telling us from inside) about certain people that they are dodgy or not trustworthy.

How do I know weather these feelings comes from the Holy Spirit or Satan?

The Holy Spirit talks to the inner man- thsi is that gut feeling you get. Your mind cannot comprehend these things and is frequently opposed to them.

Amen, Smelly. Amen, Bo.

I don't know how other people feel about Bayless Conley (I'll learn to spell his name some day)...but I love his messages.

He said something like: People wonder, how do I know if it's the holy spirit speaking to me? Well, the devil will never move you to speak to another person about Christ the Saviour and God.

I think the same applies here. The devil will never move you to speak of good things. The holy spirit will never move you to do evil.

smellycat could have not put it simpler, we are told that if we ask the spirit (or thought in our mind):

Did Jesus (the Son of God) come in the flesh and die for our sins?
-It says yes, it is of God or you talking to yourself
-If it says no, it is of the evil one and his minions
-One more thing, sharpen your Sword of the Holy Spirit by reading the bible, take EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE TO THE WORDS OF CHRIST

This works for me except for the times when I myself respond to myself... wait for the still, calm, voice. Pray always and remember to run to the name of Jesus, it is a strong tower!

I get bad feelings too! About some people... That i later discover is true...
You may have the gift of knowledge... What ever the case, like studying a 100$ bill so you can identify the fake, you have to study God, Christ and the Holy Spirit so you can identify the fake...

I still am required to love everyone whether I like them or not, or have funny feelings about them...

The world says theyre's good in everybody... God says no one is good...

But love and forgive anyway

Be filled continually with His Spirit and His Word. Set you heart and mind to worship Him with your whole life, this is our call. IJesus said His sheep know His voice and if you are close to His heart you will always hear Him clearly.

Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
