83 | God's Voice vs. Inner Critic: How to Tell the Difference in Business

Key Talking Points:

1. Understanding the Inner Critic

   • Fear-based, critical, negative.
   • Points out your flaws, magnifies insecurities ("You're not ready," "You're not qualified").
   • Often rooted in past experiences or comparison.

2. Characteristics of God’s Voice

   • Always aligned with Scripture.
   • Encourages, corrects lovingly, brings peace (John 10:27, Romans 8:1).
   • Prompts growth but not out of fear or shame.

3. Practical Ways to Discern the Difference:

   • Test the thoughts against the Word (2 Timothy 3:16).
   • Notice the fruit: Does it bring peace or anxiety? (Galatians 5:22-23)
   • Pray & pause: Talk to God and listen for the response
   • Seek wise counsel: Other believers/experiences  can help confirm.

4. Why It Matters in Business Decisions:

   • Your calling requires bold steps—don’t let the inner critic paralyze you.
   • God equips those He calls (Exodus 4:10-12).

5. Daily Practices to Strengthen God’s Voice in Your Mind:

   • Daily Scripture reading.
   • Journaling God's promises over your business.
   • Replacing negative self-talk with truth.
