Remember that any impression can come from one of only four sources: your own mind, the mind of others, the mind of God, and the mind of Satan. It's simple to silence any impressions coming from the devil: command him to be silent in Jesus' name. As it says in James 4:7, resisit him and he will run away from you.
And what of your own imagination? Is God telling you to do something, or do you want it so badly that you think it's God but it's really you? In order to hear God, ask Him to help you take every thought captive to obey Christ (2 Cor 10:5). He can cause your tumult of ideas - including those of other people, past and present - to gradually fade and be silent, and His own voice to be heard clearly in your mind. If you are committed to obeying Him, He will make it clear what you are to do.
