Sadly, many in the Church are no longer 'listening' for, or 'hearing" the Lord thru His written Word. Many of God's people are looking for a God that they can literally touch...or feel touched by. And that's because way too many Believers are trying to 'live' their spiritual lives thru their spiritual experiences...instead of thru a knowledge of God's written Word. For many Believers the "living and active" Word of God comes in a distant third...to their spiritual feelings and then their spiritual experiences.
Brethren, God's written Word is ALL we get today. And even then...Believers need to have enough spiritual discernment to know what parts of that Sacred Book are for God's people in the Church age. There's a reason why the Lord is no longer audibly speaking to the Church. And I believe that reason is that everything He has for us is already written down in the instruction Book of the Bible. I personally believe that many Believers are NOT hearing from the Lord because they stopped looking for Him thru His written Word.
Psalms 119:105 ----- Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
