Am I Hearing Voices Or Am I Hearing God?

As part of my Bipolar, I hear voices. The voices I hear when I’m unwell is very frightening and overall scary to experience.

But what if I am Christian, how do I hear God?

There was a time I thought God told me to die - but reflecting back, I think it wasn’t God - it was something else. Something else that’s really scary. Sometimes I would hear the voices inside and outside of my head. Sometimes it’s a male’s voice, sometimes it’s a female’s voice.

As a Christian, I believe God would want me to live, and not instruct me to kill myself.

I feel this topic is difficult to explain. I think that if whatever voice it is (or God’s), if it’s instructing me to end my life, that’s when I know I need to seek help as fast as possible.

God would not want me to die.

God has a plan for me.

I believe.

I believe he put me through all this pain and hurt for a reason - the reason is to help others who may experience the same thing like me.

But I wouldn’t wish upon that this would happen to anyone - as it can be a very distressing, overwhelming and mostly frightening experience.
