How Can You Know If You're Really Hearing from God?

When you “hear” from God, how do you know it’s really him – or if you just manufactured it? The story of Samuel gives us three tests that are still valid today.

Read the backstory in 1 Samuel 1-3.

Outline:
Test #1: The Bible. Does the message match up with what God has already spoken? In Samuel’s day, God was silent; but for us today, he speaks definitively through the Bible.
Test #2: Other people. Do other trustworthy followers of Jesus affirm the message? Samuel went to Eli to try to understand the voice he was hearing.
Test #3: Your attitude. Are you really listening to God, or are you just trying to get your way? Samuel had a humble, teachable spirit – even when the message wasn’t what he wanted to hear.
