Have you been reading the Bible and applying it to your life? God will NEVER tell you something contrary to the Bible. If it lines up with the word of God, and it is confirmed in your heart in some way, then it might be from God. If you don't know what the Bible says, then you really have no good way of knowing for sure.

Do you have a relationship with Jesus?
If you are not born again, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. Pray for forgiveness for sin, turn from it and accept Jesus as your saviour. Read the Book of John in the Bible (the one after Luke). You will grow to know Him personally.
Whatever the thing is that you are talking about, if it is not good it does not come from God.

Pray, especially when you’re unsure of God’s will for your life. “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5). “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him…” (Psalm 37:7). If you don’t know what to pray, you can always personalize & pray verses such as, “…Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul” (Psalm 143:8), and, “Guide me in Your truth and teach me…” (Psalm 25:5).
One way God commands us is through His Word. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). If Scripture commands something of us, there’s no need to hesitate & wonder if it’s really God’s will for us. He cares so much about us that He already gave a plain and clear Guidebook to life – the Bible. “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” (Psalm 119:105). “The Law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple” (Psalm 19:7). “How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to Your Word” (Psalm 119:9). Likewise, God never, ever contradicts Himself, so He’ll never ask you to something contradictory to Scripture. He will never ask you to sin. He will never ask you to do something Jesus Christ wouldn’t do. We need to educate ourselves about the Bible, so we will know which actions meet God’s standards. “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth: mediate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything that is written in it” (Joshua 1:8).
Christians also have the Holy Spirit to discern what is, or is not, God’s will for our lives. “The Spirit of truth…will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). Sometimes the Holy Spirit will either agitate our conscience if we’re making a wrong decision, or He will pacify and encourage us when we’re leaning toward the right decision. Even if He doesn’t intervene in such noticeable ways, we can have confidence that He’s always in charge. Sometimes God can alter a situation without us even realizing He has acted. “The Lord will guide you always” (Isaiah 58:11).
If God is calling you to take a leap of faith, be encouraged by His presence. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). And remember, “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Maybe... It could be your conscience or it could be your teacher telling you that the "something" you're talking about is spelled STUDY.

You mean that voice telling you "GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND START STUDYING!"? It just might be your mother. You better listen.

I think that's your conscience talking. Buck up and get back to studying.
