Is It God Speaking, or Your Own Thoughts

How do you know if it's God speaking or just your own thoughts? In 1 Kings 19, the prophet Elijah hears the still small voice—and what the Hebrew actually says changes everything about how you listen for God. What Elijah hears next is something most people misremember completely, and it changes how you should think about every quiet thought you've ever had and wondered, "Was that God, or was that just me?" In this video we unpack the actual Hebrew behind the "still small voice," what it really means, and three practical, biblical ways to tell the difference between God's voice and your own thoughts—ways that don't depend on getting a dramatic sign.
