Chris.
There are many teachings about "Following the Leading of the Lord", or "Hearing God's Voice", but before we can do these things we simply have to come to Him. Jesus said that we need to 'come to Him' in order to begin to know God and be taught by God. There are some people who claim to 'hear God' but show no fruit of knowing Him or being taught by Him.
It is necessary for us, as a part of the Body of Christ, to have the Lord Himself as our Shepherd and His Called and Chosen "under shepherds" who truly care for His Flock. I am always so grateful to God that, on the day when I openly confessed and received the Lord Jesus Christ as my Saviour, that I had a minister to pray with me, and friends to help me keep walking in and with the Lord.
Whatever 'level' of Christianity we think that we are at, we all need to maintain a teachable and open mind. Being teachable is a pre-requisite to being led by the Lord.
