"... has spoken to us through his Son." The last time God spoke to us in direct words was when he spoke to John in the Book of Revelation. Since then (for nearly 2000 years) we have no direct words from him. And we will not. What I mean is, the Bible is closed, and God will not add to it. It is his last Will and Testament, his last set of instructions to us before his return.
He said in Revelation 22 through John: "And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book. If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book."
Claiming to hear Jesus speak to us in direct words is the same as adding to this book!
Here is something, then, you should understand. If it is not Jesus speaking to people today, who is it? The point is, Satan often pretends to be Jesus so he can give a false message to God's people. As people of God, we should always be on guard against this.
Paul says the same thing about adding to or changing the Gospel in Galations 1. "Let God's curse fall on anyone, including myself, who preaches any other message than the one we told you about. Even if an angel comes from heaven and preaches any other message, let him be forever cursed."
Let me say it again, the Bible is closed, and Jesus is not adding to it by speaking to anyone today, not even ministers. If we want to know what God's will (Jesus' will) for us is, we must look to the Scriptures.
