I have written a post on this topic before (And the Wind Doth Blow) and am planning to go further into the topic at some point about hearing God. We do not hear God "in our head" but only from his words in Scripture. Deceit and deception is all around us and we must be warned of that. I am in constant prayer about this for myself as I do not want to be influenced into believing delusions and signs.
In the meantime, here is an article that touches on this topic by Warren Smith.
"Today it is very sad to see so many believers falling under the influence of the same spirit that influenced me when I was in the "new age." This spirit says that it is a time for "breakthroughs" and for the fulfillment of our "destiny"; that there is something "new" and exciting in the wind. This teaching claims that we are in the midst of a great "transition" that will result in a "paradigm shift," and that through "new revelation" and "personal experience" God is in the process of taking the church to a "new dimension" and to a whole "new level." Many Christian leaders these days are so sure that what they are hearing and experiencing is from God, they are rarely testing the spirits, or even considering the possibility that they are being deceived."

God does not only speak through Scripture. He speaks directly through His Holy Spirit. That is why we, who have been given the Holy Spirit are blessed! :)
