In Jn chap 8, Jesus was dealing with the religious leaders of his day (Scribes & Pharisees). Jesus gave them some powerful, accusatory words (see the whole chapter). But He also told them that they couldn't understand Him because they couldn't hear him (couldn't grasp heavenly teaching). He told them that He brought them God's Word, the Truth, but they refused to believe Him because their father wasn't God but the Devil. So to verse 47: Jesus said, "He is that is of God heareth God's Words", or the person that is obedient to God & His laws (not the Jews traditions & interpretations), can grasp the meaning & live accordingly. So he told them that since they could not grasp spiritual things, this proved that God was not their Father, but Satan was. Then of course, they began to accuse Jesus of being demon possessed. In your desire to hear from God, you must attend to His Word, the Bible & listen out for His Spirit's Voice to speak to your heart & give you Light.
