When you are not sure whether a suggestion is your own thought, or a whisper from Satan, comâ€" ing as "an ange! of light" (2 Cor. 11:14), or the voice of the Spirit, look up in perfect. swbmis=ion and ‘say, **Yes, Lord, it this thought is from you T will do it." liâ€" the Holy Spirit is speaking you‘ will grow quictly: certain.
