Salluz
Aspiring Man of God
Does anyone have advice or relevant verses on how to recognize when something is the prompting of the holy spirit versus when it's just one of my own thoughts?
For example, I've had times where I wanted to share the gospel. I had one feeling that I should bring it up then and there, and another at the same time that maybe that wasn't a good time and I should wait for a better one. How do I tell which one is my doubt and which one is the holy spirit?
The same thing with making major life decisions, I have a hard time determining what I'm supposed to do, e.g. go for this occupation vs go for that occupation vs wait and figure it out later.
I also have a hard time figuring out what what is the holy spirit convicting me of sin and what is worldly guilt over something that isn't actually a sin
I would love some insight into this
