There are very few cases when hearing voices is not delusional.
Saints, for example, including prophets, were so spiritualized that they could hear God. There are still some saints nowadays, but very few.
For other people, hearing God happens very rarely, usually around the time of their conversion. They don't hear this voice a lot of times, but it's a sort of a one time thing, that points them toward true faith. And from there, they become normal Christians living in the Church.
Hearing voices can also be a trick of the demons, who want to delude Christians into having a high opinion of themselves or even, as time passes, to instill some false truths into their mind.
Something about spiritual deception in this article (someplace around the middle):

No people can expect to gain knowledge without learning.
Prayer is a spiritual branch of learning which is more difficult than any science or art. Just start learning right on the Internet and you will understand. I think that former Secretary General U Thant had a room for prayer and meditation right at the UN Headquarters in New York.

I worry about this.
If you truly believe that "god" is tallking to you, most people would think that you are delusional. The big problem with most delusional fantasies is proof.
If you have proof that you are conversing with god, then I will be the first to take some notice of you, but, in the meantime, I'll just get on with my own sweet liffe, and hope that there might actually be a god that weighs the balances in the "final reckoning".

i'm not Atheist, yet i'm not Christian both. I grew up Southern Baptist. there have been a lot of preachers for the period of my kinfolk history. At one element in my existence, i replaced into very Christian. i had to really understand the note of the Bible. yet i got here upon that the more advantageous I discovered, the a lot less it made experience. There are teachings interior the Bible that I only evaluate to be morally incorrect, and some that are only fake. because of this I abandoned Christianity virtually about 15 years in the past. i am going to't follow and prepare teachings that I disagree with. And absolutely everyone who does not question their beliefs is a fool. how can you comprehend what you somewhat believe in case you do not question it? this is stupid to prepare a conception gadget only because you've been informed to.

If one thinks they're having dialog with God - it's delusional. They need to seek help before the voices tell them to do something even more crazy.
I'll be interested to see the answers on this one, seems that there are a lot of people out there who seem to think they have daily conversations with their God. Not prayer..but like they have him on speed dial. "Can you hear me now? Good..."

When He tells you to spray paint your dog green or go kill your neighbour,s pet rabbit as a sacrifice to Him. Prayer and answers must be in line with the Word of God.If you think He is telling you something that is out of character to His loving nature then that is not the voice of God you are listening to.

When a man wanted to sell his house, he did not go through agent. He just prayed and later sometimes he could sell his house. He thought of donating money to the Church, considering the amount of agent fees he saved should be God's share. But he still a bit reluctant to do so and he prayed. "Please show me clearly if I should give this money to you".
The next Sunday, he shared his story of selling house without agent to the youth fellowship service in the Church. After the service, he got a note on his table said " Don't you think you should give agent fee to God ?" someone would have been joking to him.
But he donated the amount to the Church on that Sunday.

You hypocritical nonsense spewers. God is real and He is here. All will bow before Him and acknowledge Him as God on judgement day. Will you be ready? Delusional? I think you should look to yourselves for delusion.

When God is telling you to kill your mother and molest her dead body.
But just to say, I don't think God would ever talk back unless you were the one writing the Gospel, but you aren't.
