You should have has one more answer to this question on your Poll. The Word speaks as well to us,and Jesus is the Word.( John 1:1) I can only speak for myself,I have heard the voice of God audible twice in my life,both times to wake me from sleep.I looked to see who it was that called my name,but no one was around anywhere near me. Both times i was in the hospital with heart problems. Most of time, when one prays, she or he,has something inside them,which to me is the Holy Spirit,leading ones mind in a direction or another,in what they are praying.I have found in my own life,that the more time one does spend with the Lord in prayer,the better the leading.I have been both right and wrong in the leading I have had,a number of tests in the leading as well occurs in ones life. why? to let oneself know whether they will draw nearer or farther away from the Lord.When I am wrong,it is not the Lord who is in me,but rather my interuptation of what he is saying to my Spirit.When I am right,it is not I who am right,but rather the Lord has succedded in getting through to my flesh.In my 57 years of life,there is one point of my Spirit being I do know for certain,that is, I always need the Lord in my life,it matters not how I feel or act,it is so, never the less for me.I always look to confirm words spoken to me through the Word of God,even then, I have been wrong.LOVE in us, is our balance in Jesus,it is how I tell much about what I am able to recieve, or not recieve.So when I am wrong,I work very hard on love,for without love,I know I can never be in tune with him.I have never had a vision,I have never talked to Jesus or ever seen him one on one,except once,upon my salvation.Jesu his face. It was draped in a white garment,and when he looked at me with eyes of fire,i melted under his love.Touched by God? quite a few times in my life yes,I have seen Jesus do many wonderful healing in my lifetime.And what I will never ever forget again as long as I live,is to always remain humble in him.I share no glory in our Jesus,nor in his wonderful works of love I have seen him do! Only one action I can share with him.His love for others.In this i am so blessed to share.
