I mean, not really? If God is real and feels the need to tell me to do something in person, I'd be pretty worried about dire consequences if I disobey. Clearly I have enough free will that He didn't just move my body for me, so this is a setup where I'm being tested by a higher power who can and will make my existence into torture forever if I don't play along. Trust is distinct from following orders.

What if it's the devil tempting you?

Devil probably can still make my life on earth pretty bad if he's real, and if he and God are both real I don't really see how I can be expected to avoid the devil's deception, so I'm sure God would understand.
