The Ways God Speaks To Us...
God has many ways to speak to us. In both the Old and New Testament, we have examples of God speaking directly to one or more people, speaking through prophets, speaking through angels (usually to prophets), and occasionally even speaking through animals.
Sometimes He speaks audibly to us, sometimes on the inside, as with the conscience. The more you speak with God through prayer, and the more you listen to (and obey) His voice, the more easily you are able to recognize His voice subsequently.
We would do well, when we pray, to listen as well -- after all, what good is a conversation that is only one way? God is not a genie.
John 10:16
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
John 10:27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Once you are in harmony with Jesus Christ, you will always know when He is speaking with you, and you will desire to obey His voice.
