It's an important note that as sure as God speaks to you, so does Satan. It may be easier to give an example of that because while I believe you have to be familiar with God to hear him or know if he is speaking to you, satans lies are usually loud and clear. Psychiatrists would probably call it "negative self talk". But we are familiar with times that we make a mistake and we hear accusations saying we are so "enter your favorite insult". Or that you'll never be smart enough good enough, etc. Satan is the accuser of the brethren. If he can convince you that you're not worthy of love he can keep you from accepting God or anyone else's love. God is the whisper reminding you of his words and his promises and his faithfulness. He's the one that allows you to be calm in chaos by reminding you the your God commands the wind and rain. He reminds you that you are not powerless or alone because you have his spirit with you. Knowing his word helps you recognize his voice and is a weapon against the lies of Satan.
