How do I discern whether the sense I have inside is the sense of life, i.e., the Lord’s speaking, and not my own feeling?

[#19 Q1] I have often heard the brothers in the Q&Rs saying that the Lord spoke to them. However, when I take a walk with the Lord, I don’t feel that I hear the Lord’s speaking. In my experience, I have the Lord’s speaking when I do something wrong. Then, I know for sure the Lord says, “No.” How do I discern whether the sense I have inside is the sense of life and not my own feeling? How do I know if it is the Lord’s speaking?

In Question and Response (Q&R) sessions, a group of invited panelists respond to questions submitted by students and young adults during the week. The panelists are generally older and more experienced brothers in the Lord who have the burden to respond to our questions by sharing both the truth from the Bible and their experiences in life.

It is important to point out that these brothers do not presume to have the answers to our questions. Rather, they are willing to provide a response in fellowship, and to encourage us to personally go to the Lord and consider all these things before Him.

“That which we have seen and heard we report also to you that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.”

-1 John 1:3
