John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

sinner; 264: to miss the mark (and so not share the prize), to err, esp. (morally) to sin:_for your faults, offend, tresspass
worshipper*of*God; 2318: from 4576: to revere, i.e. adore:-devout, religious worship

many quote this in defense of their stance against hearing anything about God's nature that is anything BUT loving gentleness and kindness:
John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

but verse 48 says:

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day...

one*that*judgeth; 2919: to distinguish, i.e. decide; by implying to try, condemn, punish:_avenge, conclude, condemn, damn, decree, sentence to...

...the spoken Word shall judge those who reject the Spoken Word made flesh...the Son of man...He only came to save the world...now this does not mean that the whole world is saved...but that ONLY those who have accepted the WHOLE...ENTIRE...COMPLETE...HARMONIOUS Word of God...including ALL of it...especially the parts that He promises His wrath upon even those who may think they are saved, but in reality, they are not saved, because they have rejected His whole truth, and are blind to it, and in their confidence have demonstrated they do not care to know anymore than what they have been taught already... whether it is true or not...they could not tell you...

GOD ALREADY KNOWS WHO is and WHO will yet be a truly saved child of His.

Does anyone care to consider?

I know that God hears me, not because I'm speacial or better than anyone else, but because He says so in His Word. We all have sinned and fall short, so God knows our frame. I'm a worshipper but I'm still not perfect, but I know that God hears me because I see prayers answered.

I have heard God speaking to me and also have heard Him speaking to me while I sleep. So, I hear God and I also talk to God. And yes, I agree that God already knows, so when we do something wrong, it does not suprise Him, because He already knew because God is all knowing.
