[QUOTE="Bob Crowley, post: 77522382, member: 383390"] The first thing to be sure of is the "voice" was from God. It could have been and it may not have been. Years ago I asked my then Presbyterian minister (I'm now Catholic) "How do you know upfront if a 'spiritual' message is from God or the devil?" He thought for a moment and then replied "You don't (know)". Sometimes it's a case of waiting. The spiritual world can be tricky. Another Presbyterian pastor I spoke to who had a ministry with street kids said to me "There's a very strange psychic world out there". If it was from God then I think He's trying to get you to concentrate on Him instead of being so preoccupied with writing this particular story or book. You're only 16 and God is not going to "terrorise" you with a sense of damnation for being uncertain about which topic you should write on and how to go about it. He knows you're in a stressful situation and He's probably trying to get you to calm down, if necessary by ignoring the "book" for the time being. If it was demonic then it has the aim of discouraging you, which it seems to be doing. If I were you I'd put the whole thing on the back burner for a while and give it a break. I think you're taking it too seriously. Get back to the basics for a while - church, youth fellowship, school etc. If God really wants you to write a book He'll make it clear. [/QUOTE]
