When God did speak in Scripture, whether directly or through His prophets, He did so with audible words. You will search in vain for some inner voice from God speaking to the heart of His people. Nor will you find God communicating through prompting hunches. No one said, “I feel the Lord leading me to do such and such.” No one said, “I have the peace of God in this decision.” In other words, God’s people have created a means of communication from God not found in the Bible. God never spoke in this fashion in Scripture, but we now are to believe that this is the norm for today.

Amen!
God works through his Word. Always. Isaiah 55.11
People looking for signs and wonders may not realize it, but they're acting as if they don't believe.
Such an important point , and yet so ignored by 21st Century evangelicals. Could pride be the reason? Um...yeah! When I was a Charismatic, I took great pride in recounting my supposed spiritual experiences. In Charismatic circles, such experiences give a person prestige. Conversely, a person who fails to "hear from God" is considered "worldly" or "spiritually immature." The whole Charismatic system is built on spiritual pride.
