"Can I consider all the good things that come to my mind as given by the Holy Spirit?" @ WWHSS (Beta)

✔ Answer：
While it is true that the Holy Spirit can inspire good and positive thoughts, it is not always the case that every good thought is directly from the Holy Spirit. It is important to discern and test our thoughts against the teachings and character of God as revealed in the Bible. The Holy Spirit's influence leads to thoughts and actions that are in line with God’s will and character, such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-control. Prayer, reading Scripture, and seeking godly counsel can help in discerning the source of your thoughts. Remember, the Holy Spirit will not lead you contrary to the Word of God.
