If it's possible, find some men and women who pray. That is the way I found out God still speaks and that I could find out what He is saying. Here is an example of when God spoke through my prayer group. I was once on a run, I was talking to God and asking Him why I don't have as much joy as other Christians and why I don't have as much zeal. Next is the part where people, if not trained, can be confused. It seemed as if I heard myself respond in my head, I didn't here a loud God-like voice, I thought it was Him but wasn't for sure. What I heard was, 'Stop reading so many other books and only read the Gospels.' At this time I was reading maybe five other books, and the Bible.
When I got together with my prayer group that same night, one guy said he felt God saying to him to start reading the Gospels, and we all should too. I was amazed. I had another instance where I asked God to give me direction in my life, what He wanted me to do, where to live, what was my calling. When I got together with my prayer group, that same day, the same guy as before came up to me and put his hand on me while we were praying. He then spoke the exact words I asked God about earlier. Except with no answer, to my disappointment. Nonetheless it was still amazing. Now I am better at discerning whether it is my voice, or Gods, and with practice I know you can hear Him too.
Join other people so they can help you tune your ears, confirm words from God, and motivate you when times are difficult. God designed people to be with one another in fellowship, I believe that was His intention with prayer as well.
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, Even Aaron’s beard, coming down upon the edge of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon coming down upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessing—life forever. Psalm 133
