How does God speak today?
score:11
Accepted answer
God speaks through multiple ways. This includes everything from audible voices to suggestions from friends and family.
However, by far, the most common way that God speaks to us is through His Bible.
In fact, if we think that we're hearing God in any other way, we need to go to the Bible and verify that what we think he's saying actually lines up with his will.
And while oftentimes the bible isn't clear about some decisions (such as which car to buy), God will use the Holy Spirit to guide us. We need to listen with our ears, with our hearts, with our minds. But most of all, we need to listen to the Bible.
That's why it's so critical to read your Bible daily.

God has spoken to me in the past
- with an audible external voice,
- with a distinct voice inside my mind,
- by a vision in my minds-eye,
- by opening my eyes to a song or scripture I was singing or reading in a way I had not seen before,
- through Godly council and direct prophecy of other trustworthy believers,
- by my conscience, and, of course
- via systematic study of his Scripture which guides my life-system.
These are listed in order of (exponential) increasing frequency, and are just what I've personally experienced.
