In this world there is so many voices and people telling you what to do. For example, Hollywood and Social Media tell you need to look like this, dress like this, and act like that to get what you want out in life although this is all false. In addition, where you grow up and the people that your around try to give you advice on how to live your life or try to control you and your actions.
What I have learned over the years is that all these voices are just a distraction. The only voice you need is Gods voice and in this life it seems almost impossible. However, with God anything is possible. So how do you extinguish all the dark and evil voices and only listen to Gods? Well I am going to tell you.
Whats the difference?
John 8:47 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me”.
Gods voice:
- Stills you
- Leads you
- Reassures you
- Enlightens you
- Encourages you
- Comforts you
- Calms you
- Convicts you
Satan’s voice:
- Rushes you
- Pushes you
- Frightens you
- Confuses you
- Discourages you
- Worries you
- Obsesses you
- Condemns you
You see the thing is people mistake Satan’s voice as Gods voice but there is NO comparison. I believe if you are filled with the Holy Spirit and you are walking with Christ He will guide you, strengthen you and lead you where you are meant to go. However, if you listen to Satan’s voice He will distract you and tempt you to places you would never want to be and He will guilt trip you and tell you that are not good enough for anything or anyone in this life.
So how do you tell the difference?
Well the thing is voices are not just in our head, it’s the outside voices from other people that we need to be watchful of too. Because other people might say they want the best for you and tell you that they love you, but really the only source of Love and the only one who knows what is the best for you is God.
Today I encourage you, if you are at a crossroad in your life and you don’t know what to do, be still. Ask God to help you decide where to go from here and He will. It might not be where you want to go, but its where you need to go in order for God to do the impossible. If you are confused with Gods voice and Satans voice then ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit so you can figure out who is who. Allow God to intervene when you can’t. Ask God to help you and He will guide you to the life of everlasting peace and love. In
