In my experiences with fellow believers, it is frequent. A believer who has allowed his emotions to take control has, to a large measure, lost touch with areas of reality. God communicates with him on a personal level. He treads his own personal path to God's glory and to God's storehouse of knowledge. Sensationalism usually becomes part of his character.
Emotions can be deceptive and misleading, and that is because they are part of our humanity.
The issue is not whether God communicates with His children. And I'm talking about brand new revelations that have never been granted to anyone else in this age or in past ages. Because they either conflict with or contradict Deity's affirmations. God Is Still Revealing Himself Today, in this spiritually enlightened age, God continues to reveal Himself. He has not shut Himself off from His creation.
