Speak?
nightmare sasuke:
When God speaks to you, or reveals truths, how does it feel and what is it like? How can one tell if he or she is hearing God? Did the 12 apostles hear God more strongly than us? Can anyone hear God as strongly as the 12 apostles did? I desperately want to understand as well as the apostles, and I have doubts as to whether I ever will.
Timothy:
nightmare,
Take some time to listen to this audio. It will maybe help sort out some of your questions.

The Spiritual Significance of Numbers in the Scriptures: Three= The Process of Spirtual Completion.
Just ask God to give you His Spirit to be able to hear His voice through His Word.
The twelve apostles had not a clue to what Jesus was saying til after the day of Pentacost when they where filled with the Spirit of God and all things they where previosly told began to click.
Those God drags to Jesus will be the ones who choose to be obedient and faithful to His doctrines and they will be few indeed(during this physical lifetime) and will hear the true sheperds voice and follow His lead.
Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
nightmare I have no doubt if you sincerely beg God for understanding He will be faithful to His Word and plans for you. God is not a respector of any one person over another.
Joh 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Keep enduring,Tim

How will I know when it happens. It could have already happened, but I'm not sure. All I know is I have not clearly heard God's voice, spoke in different languages, or raised anybody from the dead! Haha.

Do you believe all will be saved? Do you believe we have to take on the sufferings of Christ, and be saved by fire? Do you believe that the only way to life is through death? Do you believe that grace is God's method to chasten us, discipline us, cause us to suffer in order to die daily? Do you believe God truly is LOVE?
For me, if you believe these things, one's spiritual eyes are being opened, and one is moving from being in Christ to Christ in us. As He is, so are we in the world.
1 Corinthians 2:12-16 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

Yes, I believe all that stuff. How long does it take for one's eyes to be opened as much as the apostle’s eyes were opened at Pentecost? Is it even possible?
