"
God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?" Numbers 23:19
Sometimes we hear a voice and we think its the Holy Spirit but its not. "
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." 2 Corinthians 11:14
I remember many years ago hearing such a voice believing it to be God promising me by a certain time an ordeal in my family would be over but it was not and my heart became very hard towards God even though I maintained an outer façade of religion. It took a long time before things changed again. I'm grateful that the Lord is faithful even when we are faithless. Inner promptings and thoughts we believe are from God must hold up under the scrutiny of His word (the bible) and we must not put them on par or even above Scripture. Do not take your life. Persist in prayer and calling out to Him. I know its super tough. Have been praying for some breakthrough for over 20 years and still waiting. Prayed for my dad to be freed from alcohol but he died still an addict. Read Hebrews 11 esp. the end.
