John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

When a decision needs to made, believers may instruct a person to consult with God. However, if a person has never been instructed on how to hear from God, they may not know what to expect. There are three voices we can hear when making a decision. We have God, our flesh, and Satan through our flesh.

To know we’re hearing from God, we have to ask ourselves some questions.

1. Does our decision align with God’s Word?
-God will never instruct us to do anything outside of His Word (ex. rob a bank, take another woman’s husband, etc.).

2. Do we have peace with our decision?
–Colossians 3:15 says, let the peace of Christ be the controlling factor in your hearts deciding and settling questions that arise. If there’s no peace, it’s not God.

3. Are we certain?
-God is like a person. If we’re uncertain, don’t hesitate to ask Him again and again. Once we’re confident in what He said, act on that decision.

This is a short list on how to hear from God. There may be other factors to confirm God’s Word such as, confirmation with other witnesses and signs and wonders following (Matt. 18:16; Mark 16:20). Let’s hear from God and do what He says.
