A conscience if you're literal, a Spirit if you're faithful

Here are a couple of things about me that may or may not surprise you.  First I'm a christian.  Second I'm skeptical.  It's important that you know both of these points, because I'm gonna start posting my thoughts.  Depending on which side of me you know best, you may be surprised by some of the things I post.  You many not agree with them, but I hope you'll at least think about the posts. 

Now to get to the subject of the title.  This morning I was praying and as I did it I heard a little voice in my head.  Everybody has heard that voice.  Most people call it their conscience.  It's a bunch of electrical and chemical impulses firing off inside your head.  That "little voice" tells you when things are good, bad, right, or wrong.  Sometimes we listen to that little voice and sometimes we don't.  Sometime we even have conversations with the "little voice" trying to change the voice's opinion of wrong to right or bad to good.

When I hear that voice in my head this morning, and I started to wonder "Where does my conscience end and God's spirit begin?"  Is that voice really all me or is there some of God there as well.  I think if you literally look at the conscience as just those electrical impulses, you miss out on all the possibilities.  When you are on a phone call, everything you hear is an electrical pulse that has been converted to sound.  That pulse was started somewhere else by somebody else.  With just a tiny little bit of faith, we could say that some of those sounds we hear in our head might have started somewhere else by somebody else.

For me I'm going to start listening to my conscience a little differently.  I believe God talks to everybody, and maybe he's using that "little voice"  to try to make changes in my life.  Maybe there's more behind those thought and ideas then just me arguing with myself.  Maybe, just maybe, it's me debating with God, and I should stop arguing my point and start listening to his.
