That's not true.
It more like the "uninitiated" can't discern what is and is not from God. They hear from God all the time, they just dont know it is God that is speaking because in their mind their idea of God must present Himself in a grandiose way.
That God died when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the people in acts 2:38. Now everyone has access to God. (but they are still looking for burning bushes)
If god's voice is completely indistinguishable from internal chatter and mental glitches, then there is no reason to believe that the "messages" are from any deity. And if that is the only way that "god" can communicate, through fantasy and musing and emotion, then this deity is ridiculously incompetent, and not worthy of worship even if it does exist.
