It's not a thought that pops into your head. When that odd guy walks pat you and the hair on the back of your neck stands up or the dog consistently barks at that one strange lady that sells bibles door to door. It is a feeling of something not quite right with you, I just can't put my finger on it until I get to know you a little better. Then, run like the wind!

A hunch is something you know you should do or try but you talk yourself out of it. You look for a reason not to act on it.

I think a gut feeling/hunch sticks with you. You can't shake it...it stays with you until you act on it.

It is not a thought it is adrenalin, it is thought that triggers the adrenalin gland, and that becomes a gut feeling or hunch.

Many times your first feelings are correct.When I need to make a decision I ask myself the following:
1.Have you prayed about it? Prayer was never intended to be a fourth-down punting situation in which we ask God to bail us out of our hasty decisions. It was intended to be a first-down huddle. We aren't supposed to ask God to bless our plans; we're supposed to ask God for His plans.
2.Is it consistent with the Word of God? In our culture, ignorance of God's Word is no excuse since resources abound. I believe that every home should have at least a concordance, a Bible dictionary, a topical Bible, a good commentary, and a study Bible with notes. Most pastors would love to share what God has to say about a given matter. If they wouldn't, you have called the wrong pastor!
3.Can I do it and be a positive Christian witness? A seminary student stopped by my office and told me about a job he had been offered. It would take care of his financial needs, but he had some reservations concerning the sales pitch he was required to use. I asked him if he could use the sales technique and be a positive witness for Christ. He didn't take the job.
4. Will the Lord be glorified? Can I do this and give glory to God? In doing it, would I be glorifying God in my body? Am I seeking the glory of man or the glory of God? Am I doing this to be noticed by man or am I seeking to please the Lord?
5.Am I acting responsibly? God doesn't bail us out of our irresponsibility. But when we are faithful in little things, He will put us in charge of greater things. Don't get ahead of God's timing or you will be over your head in responsibilities. Seek to develop your life and message, and God will expand your ministry.
This helps me. I hope it helps you. Good luck.
