How do you know when your feelings about a situation are from God, or your flesh? How do you know when it's God's will and not your own when you do something?

With my own experiences in life, I have felt a peaceful complete feeling. That feeling is hard to describe, but I have felt a such a comforted, tranquil, peaceful feeling that has come over me that it's like a warm blanket. For example, when I was looking for a way to move, I turned it over to God. Everything just fell in place so naturally; I felt as if God was watching over me and guiding me with where I needed to be.
I think a part of you knows when it's God's will even though the flesh wants what it wants. Weigh the good and the bad, the pros and the cons with everything, pray about everything in dealing with something, and decide from that. You know good from bad/evil. Make sure to read the Bible and talk to others whom you admire with strong faith. Everything good comes from God, so remember that when making a decision.

First of all, you pray about it. Then, you look to God's word for similar situations. Then, you pray for holy spirit to help you understand what you have read. Then, you examine your feelings in light of the fruitages of the spirit and the fruitages of the flesh and last of all you TRY to do God's will. None of us are perfect but if our heart condition is as it should be, at least our motivations are genuinely grounded in a love for God rather than a love for self. Our hearts are trecherous and they can deceive us so all decisions need close scrutiny.

Because if you're doing the right thing and doing things according to how you think God will do it thn you know that it's the Lord speaking to you because God is omnipotent and can never do wrong

You get into the word of God. The Bible will confirm the will of God. Pray first before you read. And that still small voice will tell you.

I don't have an answer because God deals with everyone differently.The best advise I can give you is prayer.Be specific in your prayer.and prayerfully and hopefully God will give you the answer only you can understand.Look at God's law,and see if it might have the answer.
Peace be unto you.

any thing I do I pray over it first, before I put my feet on the floor inthe morning ,I ask God not to let anything happen that we (him and I together can"t handle.We are always tempted , God did not promise we would never have problems , he did promise never to leave or forsake us He gave us instructions to go by ,the bible(Basic, Instructions Before Life Ends

If it just happens to be in line with your personal fears and desires, it's probably not God. Good rule of thumb.

Mentally ill people believe God is speaking to them. It is a way to justify their hypocrisy and immorality.

Great question! Your conscience needs to be formed to the truth.
