God is not only speaking today, but he is speaking often.
It is everyday but some need help to hear. Will not be critical on this point--only helpful. If you have read H. Freeman's wonderful book on the deeper life, you will see there that hearing from God is absolutely a priority.
To not take you any further the most important way to accomplish this is personal relationship through commitment.
Those who teach on this subject are those who know how.
In the past while in a particular meeting there was a pastor that few know of. He would sit in the worship meeting with his head bowed and trying to hear from God. It was revealed to me exactly what he was doing and how he was struggling.
If hearing from God is a struggle for you, then it shows there sre some things you don't know.
It is sad to say that it is difficult for all those who are new in the Lord since it requires teaching. There will always be difficulties to come to desire to hear and no one is subject to obstacles but there is a way to make tremendous headway if we know some things.
For me there will always be room for improvement. It is always my fault for not hearing.
Here is a example for you to see that you are in fact hearing God every day and didn't realise it.
Here are a few examples--- If you are male or female then apply to which you are-- You see a member of the opposite sex and they are attractive. You may be married. You deal with your mind and say one of two things-- I want that or I can't have that. Then-----the inner conscience begins to say Lord I can't have that, can't even think about it. I'm married or cannot lust or cannot etc. etc. etc.
You see the wonderful thing there?? the Holy Spirit in you is convicting and helping you. He knows we are weak in areas and is trying to help us. When we miss the mark we have this burning desire to repent and confess 1Jn. 1:9-- that is the Holy Spirit.
The only way God speaks to us is if we are in the light as he is in the light. The struggles ussually point to a need for deliverance. We must understand at the very outset what we are dealing with here. God's voice is just as important as God himself. He must be revered. If he demands us to climb up in maturity it is because he is supremely mature.
In his maturity and great wisdom, while his holiness doesn't tolerate foolishness, He condescends to weak man to show he is still accepted of God. He is wanting to take weak humanity and restore them to a place acceptable to be in a strong love relationship with him.
Some are making headway. What is a overcomer?? One who parts from the world to take a supreme position through the merits of one who made it possible. Jesus is the pattern. He supplies with every need--even our need to know the father. We want to live forever with him. We must throw away the weights that so easily beset us, and run a race of faith.
It would be so easy to say get in the word. expecting everyone to know what that means.
1. Prov. 23:7 as a person thinks in their heart so is they.
faith is the answer. faith comes by hearing the word Rom. 10:17 but it must be the right word.
the scripture says seek and you shall find. knock and it shall be opened, ask and it shall be given. The priest could only enter the holy place after cleansing. We are kings and priests. We are cleansed by the blood. We come into his courts with praise and worship under the merits of the blood.
Don't ever go into his courts and seek to hear and walk away saying I didn't hear. He doesn't talk just because we came, that is our requesting position. We must expect to hear when he feels like talking. Just go about your business, in a always ready to hear attitude.
He may decide to talk in your sleep or waking hours etc. You show your desire for the entrance of light when you pay the cost of finding light to bring in to feed your inner man. Many expect the ministry to feed them, Your faith is based on your activity.
tip for the day. For example right now my studies are on prayer. Many other studies are going on at this time also. The one on prayer is many scriptures dealing with God's tender leanings towards man. There are many but will give you the first one completed. Ex. 6:5 God hears his people groan. The revelation is Jesus came to set the captives free. see also there I have remembered my covenant. Heb. 13:20 the blood of the everlasting covenant. We are not to be captives. Whom the sons sets free is free indeed. there is much more there but wanted to show you how that when you focus in on the right word of God he will speak to you
At least half of the things written in this post were given to me while writing. My desire is to minister by the Spirit and bring life into others. What a awesome priviledge, don't deserve it. God bless and to be continued.
faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.

Came to realise how that one of the best ways to address this thread would be testimonies by anyone how they heard God speak. There are many ways that he does but not all the time is it direct revelation. He speaks and when he does you know it was him.
There are many deceivers that say he spoke to them but we who hear them must be discerning.
We should be at the same time polite towards others, as we are not always able to discern at the moment. we just reject anything that is not applicable to the word of God.
Sometimes mistake the voice of God, not intentionally.
Here is a testimony.
While in the store walking in a certain direction, a lady was walking backwards towards me with her cart. She almost ran into me but stopped before that happened and apologised. Was that providential??
Well here is more. I was also pushing a cart and headed towards the back of the store. The inner voice of the Spirit caused me to know that I should drive my cart very slow and carefully. Notice not like the lady who almost ran into me.
I knew that this was not my thinking. Not that I am a fast cart pusher but for some reason need to be careful at this point.
All of a sudden a woman rushed out very quickly from a isle. She was so fast that she was directly one foot in from of my slow moving cart. The difference was she had a basket inside it with a little infant baby. I was able to stop. God cares a lot more than we realise about things--he is absolutely wonderful.
By the way the lady never even saw or looked like she knew what was going on. It all happens so fast. We need to hear from God for a lot more things to.
faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.
