Feelings of conviction are of the Holy Spirit; they show us where we’ve gone wrong; they call us to higher ground; they urge us to repent and call us back into communion with God. Conviction motivates us, redirects us, and moves us toward repentance and reconciliation.
Don’t be fooled by the devil’s confusing messages. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Pray for discernment so that you may clearly hear and know the voice of the Good Shepherd speaking and directing your path.
“"I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice."” John 10:1-5 (NIV)God Bless!
