kralaro,
The classic and valid answer for the method of hearing God is learning how to be still. You must submit yourself to the surgery of God. You must be anesthetized to undergo this surgery. That anesthetic is stillness. Successful surgery results in new and improved organs of perception and in the correction of blindness and deafness and a total restoration of sensitivity.
The surest sign of successful surgery, IMO, will be the introduction of a new humility in your life. The louder and clearer that you are able to hear God the more humble you will become. Basically you must decrease so that God can increase. Maybe this sounds counter-intuitive to you but, in my experience, it is the truth. Rather than something to brag about or to be proud of, instead, your primary feeling should be one of gratitude and a great sense of responsibility for being the custodian of this gift...this act of grace.
