Which are the differences between God’s voice and devil’s voice

God’s voice fills you with peace, leads you, reassures you, enlightens you, encourages you, comforts you, calms you and convicts you.
Satan’s voice rushes you, pushes you, frightens you, confuses you, discourages you, worries you, obsesses you and corrects you.

Through prayer, stillness and ascetic life and the guidance of a spiritual father, you will learn to discern the voices inside you.

Prudence and obedience is needed always.

Cred ca pentru a urma acestea, ucenicul ar trebui sa spovedeasca si gandurile cele mai tainice duhovnicului. Dar ce facem noi, cei din lume, care nu avem duhovnicul langa noi cu gandurile? Vad in mine insumi si la cei din jurul meu ca cea mai grea lupta, cea mai inversunata este lupta gandurilor. De la grija zilei de maine..copii..rate…facturi..pana la cele subtiri..purtate la nivel duhovnicesc. Este FOARTE GREU pentru omul din lume sa tina mintea cat de cat la Domnul..Foarte greu!

  Eh… …mda. Din cauza asta dăm aceste îndreptare. Însă să nu uiți că Domnul este milostiv. Fă ce poți și va face și Dumnezeu ce poate.

Satan is so very real, but many Christians cannot discern the spirits. I find this to be one of the most difficult aspects of Christian life and I fail regularly. The daily Spiritual Gifts that you provide help me so much. Thank you.

  Thanks! In fact, Holy Fathers say that the greatest virtue is discrimination. So, you’re right: we have work to do. 🙂
