Hearing God: How Do I Know?
How do you know if it’s God speaking—or just your own thoughts?
In this episode of Cecily Lachapelle Live!, Cecily unpacks how everyday believers can confidently recognize the voice of Jesus. You’ll discover how God’s voice aligns with His character, never contradicts Scripture, and brings peace, clarity, love, and conviction.
With practical guidance from the Bible and Mark Virkler’s “4 Basics of Hearing God’s Voice,” Cecily shares simple rhythms like unhurried time in the Word, two-way journaling, and inviting the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts. She also reflects on moments when God’s whispers brought healing and direction in her own life.
You’ll learn:
• How to discern God’s voice from mental noise
• A journaling habit to help you hear Him clearly
• Guardrails for testing timing and impressions
• How to humbly share encouragement with others
