Your thoughts vs. God's thoughts


How to know the difference between the two?

Re: Your thoughts vs. God's thoughts

First I see if it lines up with what I know about the bible, then I ask myself, "Is this something that's going to help the quality of my life? Is this something that's going to help others? Does this lift up the name of Jesus?" I also use the charity chapter in 1 Corinthians before I make any decisions about what I think may be God speaking to me.

We're all in trouble!!! No wonder we have such a hard time figuring out what to do (see below)!

Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

I get that. But if he speaks internally?

OK, then, just for you.

My answer: thoughts are never given to you by God, or by any other spirit. They are always from "you", even if they don't seem like it sometimes.

Come to think of it, I may not have given this answer before, this plainly. Well, now you have it, anyway.

IYO, is what Christians refer to as the leading of the Spirit just human intuition?
