1.  Is the voice you hear consistent with the Word of God? God's voice never conflicts with His Word.

2.  Does the voice conflict with human reasoning? Is it reasonable? God's voice isn't necessarily reasonable to the world because the world's system is different. But it is important to be wise in our decisions.

3.  Does the voice clash with my fleshly desire? God's will or voice does not gratify the flesh, but will gratify the spirit.

4.  Will this voice challenge my faith?

5.  Does this voice call for courage?

6.  Does this voice cause me to think of the affect on others? Am I concerned about my influence on others, will I be harsh, crude, or careless? I must yield to Him, love others, and learn to be patient.

7.  When God speaks, He makes me consider future consequences...Satan does not!
