When someone shares an experience, I can neither exegete it, nor deny their sincerity. Too many factors exist to explain it, but this should not be something we feel obligated to do. We can agree that all have hunches, impressions, inklings, premonitions, intuitions, and strong urgings within us. Even unbelievers experience these feelings. Thoughts enter our minds suddenly and often throughout the day. As a result, we have misgivings, suspicions, and apprehensions that are unexplainable. Some of them are unexplainable and consequently are easily thought to be put there by God when they turn out very reliable.
What we can and should do is explain our experiences in light of Scripture, rather than attempting to explain Scripture by our experiences. Too many are using it to develop their theology and views and, no doubt, contribute to the division and varied religious views that exist today. Scripture determines truth, not our experiences. And, while you and I may feel certain that God is telling us something, we cannot safely trust our hearts and the meanderings of our minds. That is the sure way to misleading conclusions and deceptions.
