I John 4
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Often I can tell which spirit is of God by the "tone of voice" used.
God usually brings me information, options: "Or you could do such and such."
Devils almost always bring fear and torment. "What will happen to you if this happens? What will you do then?"

According to what it says in I John, 1-3, you can address the spirit directly if you choose to do so: "Do you confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh?"
One time I heard, "You can't talk to a spirit."
And the Holy Spirit said: "God is a spirit and you talk to HIM."

If we don't try the spirits that bring thoughts to our mind, we could end up like a leaf that blows in the wind.
Psalm 1
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Can you tell the difference between the voice of God and the voice of devils?
Devils almost always bring fear, doubt, torment.
God brings love, joy, peace.
John 10:10 (Jesus says:) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
