As someone who came out of this subculture, you really do never know how much they mean shit like this and how much they're bullshitting https://twitter.com/AndrewRestuccia/status/1348382682414256129

Like as a fellow believer you're supposed to carefully and patiently go "Well pray on it deeply to ensure you aren't being misled" even though YOU KNOW you can just say you "felt God pushing you" to do any damn thing

Like even just charitably speaking about people who really do believe they hear God's voice -

I strongly believe it's really important to at least try to understand why you're making a decision when you make them

This kind of mystical shit is directly designed to obscure that

Ironically I get this from CS Lewis, when he said the only two reasons you should ever do anything are that you want to or you ought to - there's a whole third category of reasons that don't fit into either bucket that you should just discard

And the whole "Listen for God's voice" thing is explicitly designed to confuse these three categories with each other and refuse to unpack them

Make it sound like you're morally obligated to do something you just want to do, or that some charismatic figure says you should do
