There is a measure of truth to that. I say a measure because God is patient and long suffering and gracious. A person may have struggles in their life with submitting to the Lord in certain areas while the Holy Spirit is performing His life long work of sanctifying them and conforming them to the image of Christ Jesus. That doesn't mean that God will turn his back on them and leave them on their own. The Bible teaches in Romans 8:28 that God works all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to his purpose. A person may stray from the path but God will still be the good shepherd who will turn them back according to his will for their life in Christ.

It sounds biblical, but is it not "directing our path" to draw sinners to Him?!?
There is a Spiritual gift of receiving knowledge from God.
Yes the Bible says "The path of a righteous man are directed by the Lord."
His Spirit strives with all men, for now, but we must CHOOSE TO FOLLOW.

I believe your heart has to be pure. I think in time of true need if you are quiet you will hear his voice if your heart is ready. You hear his voice other times to directing your path or nudging you this way or that, leading to special people and places, but that could be to prepare your heart. I know when I was at a broken time in my life, he was there.

This is true but be sure it's Gods will you are following, not some religious nonsense.
Gods will is seldom anything like the arrogant foolishness religion talks about.

While God may not want us to go out & quit our jobs, He also rewards obiedience. when we obey one thing, he blesses & then he will give us another thing to do.
when we completly surrender, we are telling the Lord & making a commitment that whatever He says, or lays on my heart, I will do it. & remember this, God will never ask you to do something that is contrary to his word, sometimes,,i have to remember that , cause i may think God is saying , somethng, when it is really "self"saying something, this happens too. we gotta have discernment between us, the flesh, & what is God's voice, leading us.& we will by obeying, learn God's will for us.
the key, Obiedience is better than sacrifice, I Samuel, 15:22&23. &*(I go to that passage a lot), myself.
i hope this is what you were asking?

Do you want it to be true? If so, it shall be so.
Your question is really just looking for affirmation isn't it? Perhaps you could ask one that encourages debate on the topic.
