How do you know it's not Satan dressed up as God? I have been told by people that they, "just know by how they feel". How do you know Satan doesn't know how to make you feel good too? I'm just asking how you can be so sure the signs and messages you get are from God and not Satan. The "I just know..." answer is implying that you are smarter, better, and trickier than Satan. That seems doubtful...
How do you know who you are talking to?

He doesn't speak to man, except during Moses prophecy. In the Qur'an, as Moses requested, God stepped onto a mountain in the form of light (nur), which caused it to explode. An illustration that no mortals can ever communicate or see the immortals.
And in our belief, the devil Satan (or Shai'itan) only recommends sinful ideas, even war. His messages are more temping than God's, which is the sad reality.

I think maybe your question is so complex, that you might talk to a preacher about this. For me, personally, I am saved, and I know that God is in control of my life. I pray daily that His will be done in my life. I know that Satan is powerful, and tries hard to tempt us, but with the help of my Savior Jesus, I CAN overcome any temptations Satan throws my way. I try to stay strong, by going to church and Sunday School weekly, it gives me peace. I'll pray for you, and hope you can find your way, so you, like me, will no longer have doubts.

It's not like a voice like a human voice so to speak. It's more like something you listen to with your soul. It's hard to explain really because its not something you're used to. It is true that Satan can pose as god, because he knows everything about you also, but when you have positive thoughts and positive things being said to you, that won't be Satan, because he's not into making you a positive person, he wants to destroy and corupt, and whispering sweet nothings in your ears isn't going to be something on his agenda, that's how you know it's God when it's something positive and makes you feel good all over.

It is very simple my brother. when you pray to god you pray to him not the devil. when you have god in your heart the devil will never touch you. he might tempt you but dont listen to him. God is the way the light and the truth!!! the Devil is a liar yet he is smart and trickerish but he will always fall and fail and he will never win. god is the most powerful. in revelations it says that there will be fake a prophet doing miracles. but if you have the marks of jesus you will know whats the truth and the lie the wrong and the right. so do the right brother and ask and pray to god and come to him and be humble and ask him to give you answers to your questions. Then god will send someone and tell you the answer or you will know the answer because god has answered it.

Yes He does. Too, I do want to say that you are right! People underestimate the powers of darkness and they think that just b/c they are godly... they can't be confused on hearing God's voice vs. Satan's. The only thing I can tell you, from experience, is that God's voice is solid which means that it is backed up by scripture, it goes in Harmony with His will for you, and most importantly..... it's always something to bring you closer to Him.

Peace comes from God. Satan cannot mimick peace.
Love comes from God. Satan cannot mimick love.
Faith comes from God. Satan will not promote ANY faith.
Anxiousness comes from Satan. Not God.
Indecision comes from Satan. Not God.
Fear comes from Satan. Not God.
Pretty simple.....

That is a very good question because Satan makes us sin and sin does feel good. However, as you grow in your walk with God you study his word and pray as often as you think needed. Eventually you just know if it's God speaking to you or Satan tempting you.

Men posing as Jesus will try to deceive people in the last days. Matthew 24:23-24 "At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!' or ‘There He is!' do not believe it. For false Christ's and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible."
The coming of the Antichrist is a sign of the end.
I John 2:18, "Dear children, this world's last hour has come. You have heard about the Antichrist who is coming—the one who is against Christ—and already many such persons have appeared. This makes us all the more certain that the end of the world is near."
What moral conditions will be characteristic of society in the last days?
II Timothy 3:1-5, NIV. "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them."
God tells us to love one another...Satan has distorted what love really is...love is not sexual pleasures, infatuation, love of money..etc..
Pray about it

Well you make it sound as though God walks in the room and verbally speaks.That is not the way, God speaks to us in signs and in dreams. How do I know it is God, it proves true, if it is truth it comes from God .Satan lies.
