 How can you tell the difference between God's voice and your own thoughts and emotions? We all want to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit with confidence and clarity. Here are some practical keys. Number one, know the Bible. The Bible is the word of God. The more familiar you become with the written word of God, the more clearly you can hear God speak to your spirit directly. Number two, obey what God has already spoken. The Lord directs the steps of the godly. Obey what you know God has spoken and you'll become a person who can more clearly hear him. Number three, remove distraction. By praying in a place of solitude, you position yourself in a distraction-free environment and in a distraction-free environment, you can pay closer attention to the kinds of thoughts and feelings that distract you. In the silence, your inner dialogue is exposed and can therefore be addressed. Once you address it, you experience stillness which makes it easier to hear the Holy Spirit's voice.
