The problem with that is how do I know he is addressing me.Some people claim it comes to them in a dream.That could just be the Mexican Food I had last night.

Peter was present at one of the 5 or 6 times the Bible records God speaking audibly yet he said the Bible was a more sure word than an audible voice.

2Pe 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
2Pe 1:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.

This was an eyewitness account from Peter.(James and John were also there)

I imagine you would just know it, I'm sure God can figure out how to do that....unless He just doesn't have much to say to you. Perhaps to them, He does come in a dream..those people seem to believe it.

I think think those accounts could easily be questioned by some. It would be hard to prove it really happened....just as any communication with God is.
