God does communicate to us today in answered/unanswered prayer and His generous acts of providence, however as you clearly stated he does not verbally speak to us.

Some Charismatic’s and others believe that the Holy Spirit comes upon them in a special manner to preach, sing, slay people in the Spirit, to heal, and all the other gifts, et. al. (not to mention anointing oils, cloths, letters, and such). You might say they consider it the unction of their function. Catholics do something related called, “Extreme Unction.” Benny Hinn claims a “fire anointing” (if you desire a sad laugh listen to these audio clips here). This is their so-called motivation and you will hear it called things like, “I was being led by the Spirit to …” or, “I felt ….”. Some when they disobey God claim they were not “under the anointing” and thus could not obey … in other words another excuse for disobedience.

As you can see I have have the disco anointing. [Linked Image]
