How to Know If That Voice in Your Head Is God or Just You — A Biblical Test

Have you ever felt a quiet nudge — "call her," "take that job," "let it go" — and wondered: was that God, or was that just me? You don't have to guess. In this video we walk through a simple, Bible-based 4-question test you can use for every decision. We look at how God spoke to Elijah in a gentle whisper, why the Bereans tested everything against Scripture, the difference between conviction and condemnation, and the one question most Christians skip (it's the one that saves the most heartache). By the end, you'll know how to tell God's voice from your own thoughts, your fears, and the pressure of the moment. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Was that God… or just me? 0:43 Does God still speak today? 1:10 An important note 1:35 Elijah and the gentle whisper 2:36 The 4-question test: #1 Does it line up with Scripture? 4:00 #2 Does it sound like Jesus? 4:37 Conviction vs. condemnation 5:13 #3 Does it bring peace or pressure? 6:15 #4 Does it hold up with wise counsel and time? 7:09 A real-life example 7:56 What if it was just you? 8:39 Putting it all together 9:00 "Speak, Lord, I'm listening" 📖 SCRIPTURES IN THIS VIDEO John 10:27 — "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." 1 Kings 19:12 — "…and after the fire came a gentle whisper." 1 John 4:1 — "Test the spirits to see whether they are from God."
