Hi all, I have a similar question on the hearing God's voice thing. I actually have struggled for many years with bipolar and whenever I have a manic episode, which unfortunately happened very recently again when we changed some things with my medication, I feel that I hear God and also the devil in different ways and I'm so convinced and then it all comes crashing down when I finally get help and move out of the episode. And my faith is shaken. Would appreciate any prayer or wisdom you have.

Try to line up your thoughts with what the Bible and the church teaches. God never contradicts himself so if you find that your thoughts don’t follow same principles as in the Bible, it’s probably not him speaking. I would talk to a priest/pastor too to help you with this and bring some clarity. I would also simply ask God over and over again to make his way and his voice so clear that it’s from him. And I’d pray always that in Jesus’ the devil’s voice would leave you. Hope that helps, definitely ask a priest/pastor for some guidance, it’ll be so helpful I think. God bless ❤️

Absolutely agree. God knows what you need and he can surround you with the support you need. Just trust in his word and his people.

If you want to hear God speak, read the Bible. If you want to hear Him audibly, read it out loud.

Our trials in this life are not just physical but they are also spiritual. We have an active enemy that seeks to pull us away from the Lord BUT, there is NOTHING that can separate us from His hand. You need to be active in your spiritual disciplines and you MUST be in fellowship with other believers in a solid Bible teaching church. There are no lone wolf Christians.

So sorry to hear this, OP. I have a sister that is impacted similarly when medication changes or she gets lax with taking it. I agree with every suggestion above regarding reading the word - is the best method for surrounding yourself with the truth. I would also add that Relying on your community when your faith is shaken will bring much needed relief during those difficult moments. Lastly, medication and communication with your psych is so key - it’s the best way to manage episodes. It’s such a blessing to have access to good care and medication. I thank God for providing for you - will be praying for you!
