We pray. Then how do we know which ideas are from God?

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

The first thing God gave me to recognize ideas that HE brought to me was this:

 

God's yoke is easy and HIS burden is light.

 

If the plan or idea that comes is overly expensive and very difficult to do, I pray again about that matter for I do not believe it is a plan from God when it is a heavy burden.

 

Matthew 11  Jesus says

 

28 Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

 

29 Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

 

30 For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light.

Here is a promise from God for us if we lack wisdom concerning how to do something.

 

James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

James 3 shows us how to recognize the ideas that come from our flesh and from devils and also wisdom that is from above:

 

14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

 

15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

 

16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

 

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

 

18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
