Is This God, Me, or the Enemy? Discernment and Spiritual Growth in Hearing God's Voice

Have you ever had a thought or feeling come out of nowhere and wondered, "Is this God, is this me, or is this the enemy?"

In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, my friend Alana shares how she learned to recognize God's voice in everyday life. She always believed God speaks first through His Word, and it's still where she tells everyone to start. Then she learned He also speaks through seeing, hearing, knowing, and feeling, including the emotions she'd spent years dismissing. Now she brings everything to Him with simple questions: "Whose is this? What do I do with it? And when?"

We get practical about slowing down, testing what you sense against Scripture, and why God rarely calls us to do anything alone. Alana also opens up about intercession, spiritual warfare, and emotional overwhelm.

In this conversation:

• If you're in survival mode, start with the Word, and let someone hold your hand
• How to test what you hear against Scripture and wise community before you act
• Why spiritual growth in discernment takes practice, humility, and the armor of God
