Responses. Submit) There are 4 main voices that we must be able to discern: God and His messengers, evil spirits, our flesh, and influential humans such as parents, guardians, mentors, influencers, celebrities, etc. Our faith is shaped by what we hear and pay attention to. Our heart is likened to a 'gated community' that should be maintained according to the desired culture and output of it.
