If some things come from God and others from the devil, how do you KNOW when it's from the devil?

Your guts, your instincts, and you feel overwhelmed, but you know in the back of your mind it is wrong, so ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and do the right thing.

By the feelings you get when they sit on your shoulder.
If it seems more difficult (honesty,etc.) - then that sounds like the good way.
If it seems too good it is probably wrong. Cheap and easy sounds like the devil talking.
Good question - I don't really know, except you do talk about how as an adult - you can make your own decisions - you usually do this before doing something wrong.

The devil will try to come at you in evil dreams sometimes, put evil thoughts that against the bible and God.
Just remember "What would Jesus Do" and if it is not something he would do, then it evil or a sin or wrong.

when you know in your heart its wrong, if it going to hurt someones feelings, or if its bad its of the devil. nothing good comes from satan, and nothing evil from God.

When you want something out of selfish desire, it's evil. If you want to do something good for people, but you have to resort to hurting someone in the process, it's evil.

If it d=feels wrong, then it is your conscience telling you it is wrong and most likely from the devil.

If it has anything to do with Human Nature, they'll tell you it's the devil. Sad, isn't it?

Anything you face that can cause you to sin is a temptation.

The devil is a fictional character. The temptation is all in your head.

If it's illegal, immoral or fattening, it's from the devil
