it's all about the thought, before it was a feeling it was a thought. Most often God does not speak to us audibly. He will speak to us through a thought. The difficulty is determining is this thought from God, self, world, or the devil

2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

God Speaks most of the time through our thoughts, he places a thought. Our battle is who is speaking, God, friends, our minds, the devil

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

before it became a feeling it was a thought.
