Trying the spirits to see if thoughts are from God

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

God sends thoughts to us by the Holy Spirit to show us what to do ... thoughts also comes from our own fleshly desires and from devils.  Therefore we must determine the spirit that the thought comes from before we follow that spirit.

I John 4:1   Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: 

Don't be afraid.  God can make it clear to us when we belong to HIM.

It seems to me that so often when we are trying to rush to get an answer, the wrong spirit jumps in to help us.

We have to learn to trust God, and to relax, and to know that God can and will help us.  And then wait until the answer comes and even, if needed confirm the source of that answer through prayer.
