how do you know when God is talking to you and how do you know if what you are doing is His will?

Sometimes God speaks directly to us through His Word (the Bible) and a verse or verses from Scripture will not only go into our minds but straight to our hearts also and when that happens your heart may quicken a few beats.  Sometimes when God speaks to us from His Word, you may be led to read and re-read certain scriptures over and over again and they may not make sense at the time but God will show you what they mean at a time which is more appropriate for you and a situation you may face. \n\nSometimes God speaks a word of prophesy to you about something that will come to passthrough another Christian and if it definately comes to pass you then know it was from God.  \n\nSometimes, God speaks through a set of circumstances and too many things happen by chance for it to be coincidence. \n\nI would however add that if you don't expect God to speak to you then that is what you will get, i.e. disappointment!  Expect God to speak to you if you are walking in obedience to Him and He most certainly will.\n\nI hope this is of help to you as these are some of the ways God has spoken directly to me and I know God uses these methods in other Christians lives.\n\nFinally, we will know if we are doing God's will because we will have God's peace which passes all understanding to guide us.  If you step in the wrong direction, He will let you know when He withdraws His peace for a time until you get back in fellowship with Him.\n\nWe need to be in tune with God by spending time in His Word (the Bible), prayer and obedience.  \n\nI hope this helps you.

Make a decision to turn you will & life over to God.  I am usually fearful when I want a certain person, place, thing and / or situation to be the way I want it to be.  When I think this way I set myself up to be fearful that the person, place, thing or situation may not be the way I want it.  \n\nIf I turn this over to God, and except that His will is going to be done, and not my will, I will find release from my fear.  The opposite of fear is courage, and courage is fear that has said its prayers.  Also, FEAR stands for 'flase evidence appears real', so sometimes my fears are based on things that I believe to be true when in reality they are not.  \n\nI also pray for the strength to except His will, what ever that may be.  Thy will be done, not my will.

Of course, it's very possible to "Just Know" as you put it. But, what your experiencing is discernment's.  Which is a gift, that comes from above.  Be thankful for it and don't take what you feel and know likely.  Listen to that small still voice, he is guiding you down the right path.

Do you know what will happen 5 minutes from now? Neither do I. God does, but he's not saying. So in 5 minutes when I make a choice, God will know what choice I'll make before I make ti - but until I make the choice I won't know. That's free will and God's omniscience.

yes, I have conversations with GOD daily...many times a day actually..and HE does answer back...there are times that HE actually initiates..\n\nI was washing dishes the other week complaining to myself in my mind about all the difficulties I was having and how I didn't want to fool with any of it anymore...thinking to myself now...then HE spoke to me...HE told me that I was put here on this earth to do HIS will, and if I didn't want to do HIS will, then my purpose for being here was done, and I could be removed...\n\nHumbling, very humbling..\n \nThere are times that HE speaks to me, but not like the above mentioned incident.  HE has spoken to me concerning my husband's healing and health issues, HE has held me and comforted me through the death of my best friend...There are times that I talk and it's like HE doesn't hear because HE doesn't answer immediately, BUT, it is to teach me patience and the fact that it is worth waiting on GOD's answer.\n\nGOD BLESS YOU

You would have to do what you think is best.  What do you think God is telling you to do.

I put it like this, my Bible says that I have to do the will of the Father, if I endure til the end, I will be saved, and that I am supposed to work out my own salvation with fear and tremblin...\n\nI think that last one sums things up d best...I gotta answer for me and what God has shown me that I need to be doin...so if I ain't doin what He showed me to do, I got trouble then dont I?

that is a very good point,, i have always  thought, if i "feel/think/see"   things a certain way,,, that i was made to be this way,,,, and how can i be faulted for being made the way i am,,,, by a creator, so yes, if God works within us, to determine our will,,, then is it really free will? how would we even know?  maybe God works with us,, in helping develop our will,,,,, in that if we desire something,, we find the things we need, the resources,  but where did that desire come from in the first place,  even if its something we feel we thought up,, most likely we were influenced  by our life/our contacts in life,,, what caused us to come across those certain expeirences?  and why did we react in the way we did??

God, if one is in right standing with Him, provides for us in the best way for us.  He answers prayers, but He does not do so necessarily the way we would like Him to.\n\nAs far as our wants, God knows our needs and that sometimes our wants interfere with our needs.  \n\nThe key is to get in right standing with God and then trust Him to know and provide what is necessary for you to prosper spiritually in your life.

Wait for God to tell you. I am a Christian, but would say to search around for something that speaks to you.
