To verify that an impression is from God, share it with a trusted person like your spouse and check if they received the same message. If it aligns with Scripture and both of you are spiritually grounded, act on it.
Now the fourth thing is I compare my notes with others. For example, in this season, the Lord spoke to me about a particular family member. I go to my wife and she told me the Lord spoke to her about the same thing. We compare notes, we compare them with scripture, and we found out we need to act on this thing. The Lord is communicating and we need to make sure that we're responding in the way that he wants us to. Now it's important that whoever you're comparing notes with is actually hearing from God, that They have a listening ear. They've postured themselves. They understand scripture. The more scripture, the easier it is to affirm or deny whether or not this comes from God.
