I don't recall the last time anyone claimed to have actually heard the voice of God.
I don't mean a little voice in their head that could have been their imagination.
I don't mean the light turned green just when it was convenient for you.
I mean the big booming voice from the sky.
Isn't it safe to appoint yourself to be the voice of God because God doesn't talk to anyone anymore and isn't very likely to contradict you (after all, he hasn't contradicted you yet, has he?)?

You probably haven't heard about it because people don't want sacred experiences trampled and mocked by others; just because we don't hear about it doesn't mean it isn't happening. Additionally, although some may hear things ("little voices") that may be their imagination, we are certainly not the ones to say they aren't God. Only they and God can really know. Even in the Bible God chose to work in ways other than with a "big booming" voice from the sky. In John we are taught that it is by the Holy Spirit that we learn all things, which would include what God would have us do. Also, I can't recall every prophet in the Bible referrencing a big boom with respect to their teachings and wisdom imparted from God. To ask or require God to send a message that no one can deny would be asking that God not require us to have faith. As there is no evidence God does not speak to people, and because I personally feel He has spoken to me, I must say that it would be foolish to make a leap to the idea that God has ceased speaking to His people, as if He no longer cares and is somehow stuck in the old age. I believe as times change/evolve and our situations and conflicts change God will continue to guide us.
I certainly wouldn't appoint myself the voice of God, because that is reserved to God and those He appoints (like he did with prophets of old). Additionally, what I have believed at one point has been altered because I was in contradiction to God's teachings, and he confirmed that to me.
Hope I answered your question. Bottom line, religion is based on faith and is personal so we should judge or critize others for what only they can attest to. We should all show respect for all people, no matter their faith.

God speaks to no one except to His Prophets and Messengers, Only to Moses He spoke direct out of his messengers in Human form on this Earth and the rest were spoken to by the Holy Spirit by Gods Command. God did have some conversations with some of the other Messengers which include Noah, Adam, Abraham and Jesus amongst others that I don't know about..
The Holy Spirit and the Angels speak to God, and All of them are Messengers of God. The Holy Spirit, Gabriel, is the Arch Messenger of God to the Universe and Key to every revelation God has sent to Mankind from Adam to Mohammad.

how do you know God does not talk to anyone anymore?
God does speak in our hearts. I was praying about teaching vacation bible school one year and in my heart I really didn't want to do it since I had done it for 7 years in a row and wanted to give someone else the chance to be director. When I told God I didn't want to do it, He instantly said to me, "Teach my children"... That was my answer and I did as He instructed.

0.1 before the first one I was kneeling before the thrown of God in heaven. I got up and I saw a woman looking over this veranda, looking over heaven, I walked up next to her and she looked at me and I at her and we went to kiss then I woke Up. God said I have a heavenly wife for u.
1I had a vision of horses, and my horse won the race.I woke up and received understanding. I hear Christians say they lost this race and they preach it. I'm like the race isn't over why quit. (u might need wisdom to understand this)
2nd vision. Everything was black, and a thumb touched my forehead, and said I have anointed u. When I came to, my fore head was oily.
3rd vision. I saw the word all in brackets like (all) then I saw all my worship Cd's. woke up, and I received understanding. U will be in all worship.
4th vision. Jesus was flying up a water fall, with his hand's raised towards heaven. He was on a water raft, and he went to stare at me, then he looked again toward heaven. Then I woke up from the vision. I was awake when this fell on me.
When I woke up I gained understanding. Soon I will look at u, and the miracles of walking on water and flying I do threw u, the water will fall.
5th vision, I was on a moutian top, with clouds around the peek. I saw my hair turn from blond to white showing me I will be standing before the Lord our God.
God also called me the great seeker. And he asked me to seek his face. And once 6 yrs ago The father in heaven entered into me and said I AM HERE trembleing me from head to toe.

God speaks for Himself. It is up to us to hear His message.

David Ike spoke with God.
He was ridiculed.
