I John 5:18-19 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Romans 12:1-2
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
We renew our minds each time we read the Bible, choosing to go in the way shown us by the scriptures.
This world walks in ways of the flesh of man which seems reasonable to this world.
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But we who are of God see things of God as we read the Bible. We know the way of God and the will of God through the scriptures and by God's Holy Spirit who brings ideas from God to our minds.
Jesus tells us that we will not follow strange spirits:
John 10
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear HIS voice: and HE calleth HIS own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when HE putteth forth HIS own sheep, HE goeth before them, and the sheep follow HIM: for they know HIS voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Don't we know the voice of God, of Jesus, of the Holy Spirit, when HE speaks to us?
God has spoken to me many times in the years, especially since I've been born again.
He doesn't tell me to do that which is impossible. (devils do that to steal, to kill, to destroy. Jn. 10:10)
God's yoke is easy and HIS burden is light. (Mt. 11:30)
I find God's voice to be gentle, not fearful.
Devils try to move us by fear. God leads us. And it is true that God leads us into "green pastures" where food is good and plentiful, and there is no lack when God puts us there.
God does supply all our needs, as Paul said. (Phil. 4:19)

Jesus said in this world we would have trouble. But be of good cheer for Jesus has overcome this world and as we follow what HE says, we too, avoid many unnecessary troubles produced by the thinking of men of this world.
Read the Bible and take on the way of God by the instructions of the scripture.
Pray, settling every thing that concerns you through talking with God.
