Casually, conveniently... we are using the excuse of "hearing the voice of God" or "hearing the still, small voice of our loving, Heavenly Father" to micro-manage (or control) our lives TO DEATH!  We give off this outward appearance, or show, of being so super-spiritual; that we "only do what the Father tells ME to do".  Ironic thing about that statement is that Jesus, likewise, said (in essence, in each of the four Gospels) that He only did what the Father said.  But what we forget is that Jesus made this statement while He was still under the Law of Moses, Himself.  Why?  Because Christ had to become the Servant of servants; in order to redeem us from under the mentality of the Law of the Servant, and bring us back into the mentality of the Law of the Son.  Therefore, in each of the four Gospels, Jesus had to "obey the Father's voice"... ON STEROIDS; in order to fulfill the Law of Moses (from God's point of view), and render Moses' Law as being "obsolete"!  Modern-day "Gracists" are not going to like this; but GRACE is also a law, THE Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. Moses' Law (law of the slave, law of sin and death) gave us something to do; but Christ's Law (Grace, law of the Son, law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus) changes the kind of person we are!!  The proof that we are still under that cursed mentality of Moses' Law is that we are still waiting for "the still, small voice of our loving, Heavenly Father" to "tell us" EVERYTHING we should be thinking, saying and doing... ALL DAY LONG!  There are institutions for people like this, with padded walls... who claim to hear voices in their heads 24/7!  Welcome to the American "prophecy club"!  Did "Heavenly Father" tell us, specifically, to use the bathroom this morning?  But did we go?  Is "Heavenly Father"... "telling us" to go to work today?  But we'll go... because money is involved; and when money is involved, what does is matter "what God is saying, specifically, to ME"?  The Older Prodigal "heard his father's voice"... but hated, despised his own brother; and therefore, did not carry his father's heart.  Balaam's ass heard from the mouth of the Lord... how are we any different??
