Episode 9: Is That a Thought or a Prompting?

Episode 9: Is that a thought or a prompting from Meaningful Minutes with Niki Olsen
 

Have you ever questioned yourself at least once if not multiple times when a thought popped into your mind to do something and you wondered, “am I just having a thought or is the Spirit actually talking to me?

 

Have you heard people say “well if it is good then it is coming from the spirit and is a prompting”. 

I am going to have an unpopular opinion here. I don’t think that all thoughts that pop into our mind to do good things are promptings.

Because it isn’t what the action is that makes it a prompting but the motivation behind it.

Listen to this episode as I discuss how to tell what the motivation is behind your thoughts/promptings.
