Those who have heard from the Holy Spirit know it is Him. It's not a feeling based on logic or intuition, it's a strong sense and drivenness to do or say something that one does not have to analyze.
Those who have heard from the Holy Spirit know exactly what I am talking about.
And, I suspect there are few "Christians" who hear from Him, most people are figuring things out for themselves based on their feelings, fear, or cultural pressure and cannot hear from the Holy Spirit.
The sound of the culture, the fear and pride in their heart drive most people to figure things out for themselves. They do not allow Jesus Christ to be in control of their lives.
Most "Christians" in our day want the safety of being a Christian but do not trust Christ to give them answers, this is why they don't read their Bibles or they read their Bibles to twist and turn the scriptures into what they want to believe.
Those who are resistant to seeking Christ through his Word and prayer will always follow the culture far more than they follow Christ. These people do not hear from Christ, the noise of the culture and their own desires drown out the voice of the Holy Spirit if they are even born again. That is the big question!
John 16:13-14 "13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.…"
If we believe God in these words of His, then we would seek Him for all things and drown out the world with His Words and prayer.
Remember too whatever the Holy Spirit tells us will glorify God and not ourselves.
