Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
It is seen by the Apostles that they simply did things, and God either stopped them or allowed them to go on. That is how God deals with us. Just do things with confidence in Christ and He will either allow it, or stop you in some way. It's very simple.
There is no need for God's voice to dictate to us to decide mundane things. Prayer in all things is good but expecting the literal voice of God to inform you of what you should wear, eat, say, or think is ridiculous, and is the very thing that the "Charismatics" teach. It's absolutely un-Biblical nonsense, and opens one up to demonic influence - for demons are very happy to masquerade as the voice of God and give you confusing input contradictory to Scripture via thought, dream, or even, quite possibly, an audible sound.
The Truth of the matter is this: If God is speaking to you, such that you could re-iterate or write down what He said, then you are a prophet and you should write new Scripture for all to follow.
That's right, the duty of all those in modernity who claim to hear/speak with God is to write a new book to add unto the Bible. For God's voice is now no more or less authoritative then it was in antiquity. God's Word IS God's Word. You hear God? You write Scripture.
I, and all who claim to seek God, want to know what He is saying - and you, O you deceived Christians whom claim to speak with God, are you not the vessel for God's new dictations?
Logos Prevailing.
