How to know if something comes from God

James 3:17

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

.
James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

.

3 John 1:2
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

.

James 1:13
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

..

Matthew 4:6-7

6 And (the Devil) saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

.

God can not be tempted (James 1:13) to tempt God in v.7 of Matthew 4 is to do something stupid and say God will protect me.

Remember James 1:17b “with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning”.

God has already announced His intensions.

.

Malachi 3:6a “For I [am] the LORD, I change not”

God is not the variable, we are.
