Hearing the voice of God

[CAD/JPY]

Let me start a thread that is a continuation of a topic started under the Arcovio prophet thread. Points being made about hearing the voice of God, words of wisdom being given to someone, prophecy, etc.

My main point (in discussion with Timmy now) is that if I am blessed enough to receive a "Word" from God that comes from another individual, then I do expect I will receive some additional confirmation... such as a quickening of the Holy Spirit.

However, if I don't feel the unction of the Holy Ghost as a witness to what is being said to me, or prophesied over me... that doesn't automatically make the prophecy wrong. When I read the Bible and see how God spoke directly to men and women, it appears that He clearly got his point across:

Jonah didn't seem confused about going to Ninevah... and interestly enough, nobody came and told Jonah they had heard from God and he was supposed to go to Ninevah. I actually can't think of any examples in the Bible where God told another man to relocate or move to another city, by using a prophet, saint, or human being.
