How do you know if the voice you hear is the voice of God or that of your own ego?

The excuse of "God told me to" becomes invalid, and instead insanity can be the only verdict! A:You hear him in your heart. A:If you are trying to hear God's voice and want to know his will but just cannot seem to hear Him. You could try picking up The Bible and reading it, what He said to others is written down for all to see. It may help.
