How do you really recognize the voice of God? Every time I try to talk to Him, somebody (Satan) always interferes. I don't know if it's just me, or is it God, or the devil? I'm confused. I really want to hear God's voice, but I don't know if I'm ready or not. HELP!
this is actually something alot of people i've talked with are mistaken about,
God does not really speak to us verbally in our minds, when we talk with Him, He does listen and responds how He sees fitting, but when God speaks it's usually within our hearts, He speaks to us by inspirations,
sometimes God might put a thought into our heads, but it is not His usual way of speaking to us, and if He does speak to us that way, it is unmistakable,
the way to tell is, for one, if the words just seem to come to you effortlessly, and two, if it is something you would never have thought of yourself.
but despite that, "talking" with God is not like talking with your mom on your sister, it's not back and forth(aside from those rare cases you hear from some of the saints)
and if He does put a thought into your head, it's usually in your own minds voice, and not His.
the communication we have with God is prayer, and prayer, as we know, is the lifting of our hearts and our minds to God,
and although He may not always speak to us in an obvious way, as long as we are speaking to Him then we are growing spiritually, growing in our love for Him, growing in piety, and receiving many many graces as well.
does that explain what you wanted to know?...i feel like i'm not really answering your question e.e
