One way we can test whether we are truly listening to the Spirit is to ensure that what we are "hearing" does not conflict with scripture. If it does, then we are not listening to God because He will never contradict His word. Of course, in order to do this, we have to know scripture. This is vital.


I agree with Russ here, and vital is a very good word. 'Feelings' can be very deceptive. If the word of God were not important Jesus would not have needed to defend it against the sadducees and pharisees who 'felt' differently also.
