Can i actually hear God?

[aliengabbo]

So not until recently did i have a good way of praying and how to feel most connected with God but sometimes when i’m truly in distress i hear a voice in my head. so far it’s been kind and calming and it happens when i pray or asking God for something. it doesn’t sound like the usually voice in my head when i think. it’s calmer and slightly deeper. The voice tends to answer my questions and calm my worries directly and with reassurance and i’m not sure if it’s my own voice, the devil or if it’s God. i’ve read that God doesn’t really have full conversations with people when they hear a voice but this voice talks to me as if it were another person simply carrying a conversation. i don’t want to doubt that it’s God speaking to me but i don’t want to believe the devils tricks or my own head playing tricks with me.

it’s most likely the devil.The devil loves to bring sweets words to man so he can trap him and deal his killing blow.If this words tells you not to read the holy scripture,not to read about the saints,not to pray then you can be sure it’s the devil.The devil also can just make you feel calm and make you disinterested in the holy scripture and that way you might think it’s normal when in fact it’s not.

I would not worry too much. God would not mind you testing these things he would want it. So what you are doing being cautious is right. I expect it’s your own thoughts. From what I’ve read the devil isn’t one for long chats either, he gets impatient and moves on to an easier target if you don’t do want he wants and he tends to stick to tempting you by the same way time and time again, not terribly creative. But God is persistent and if he wants to tell you something he will tell you, one way or another. He knows you better than anyone does so he will find another way, he is not limited to ‘words’. Also you can check what’s said against scripture it should measure up even if it’s not the exact words it should mean the same. Why not Google Ignatius Loyola’s advice on discerning spirits or any other saints for that matter. Also ask your guardian angel to help you figure this out. God bless

Examine it in light of the scriptures. If this voice is telling you to do unbiblical things, it’s not from God.

 

[annad347]

Exactly what is said. If what you hear is turning you from God its most likely not God speaking to you. If what you hear is bringing you closer to God, then listen carefully.

Do not be afraid to ask the voice in your head, who do you speak for…

I highly suggest that you consult a priest or better yet an exorcist priest about this. Devil can say and do good things to trick you. I highly advise that you stop conversing with that voice until you consult a priest or exorcist.
