I don't believe there's a single "person" who runs things. It appears that the universe has order - it exists for now in a delicate balance and will ultimately unravel and pass away. Kind of like an ice cube. Ice cubes exist, seemingly forever, as long as the conditions are right, but conditions change and then ice cubes cease to exist. I believe the same will happen to this set of conditions under which "we," that is, the world in the history that we know, exist.
That orderly universe goes through cycles. Events repeat themselves. After awhile, I believe that repetition of events finds its way into our subconscious and takes the form of instinct and intuition. So when people say "God spoke to me," they were really experiencing a combination of their objective intelligence and the intuition that whispers from across the span of time. And we gain reinforcement. If someone says "God tells me I should quit my job, sell my house and dedicate my life to serving others," enough people are going to say "Ahh, you're so wonderful! God bless you!" So of course the person who thought they "heard God" is going to be convinced that God told them to do this. Even people who come up with weird ideas, such as committing mass murder, are responding to a set of messages that they've probably been receiving since early in their life. When biological imbalances get into the mix, that's psychosis.
We all "hear" things, all day long, and then in our dreams. When enough people think they hear the same thing, that's called religion.

God communicates in many different ways. The wonderful thing about God is that he knows you inside and out and he communicates with you only in ways that you are able to get.
When you are REAL with God and lay your heart out for him to me its almost as if my soul is talking to me. Not some werid voice I hear out of no where but as if he talking to me from within. When I talk to God I have to laugh because I call my self the dumb blonde and I need him to communicate with me in a way that I can understand. It could be from talking with someone, to scanning over a daily lesson, to even walking in the grocery store and all of a sudden things just making sense . . .
Just ask him, He is always listening!

By means of the Holy Scriptures The Bible is the inspired word of GOD and is beneficial for setting things straight.
Also you can communicate with GOD in the name of Jesus Christ by means of prayer You have a direct line ,never busy signal,
and is wireless,no purchase or plan required .
Only a humble attitude.

The question is how does God communicate with us?
The question should be how is the channel of communication opened up between man and God!
That question I would be happy to discuss, but it was not asked!
How sad! This is the question that humans should ask!
Man must take the first inituative!

God uses many many different avenues. First he communicates through his word, the Bible. He also communicates to us through the power of his Spirit.
I believe he uses people. He show's us his magnificance through nature and his creation!!!

Really through many ways. Through the Holy Spirit and of course through His word--the Bible. Also through other believers. Sometimes even through visions or dreams.

seems like he works through one nit wit at a time instead of using a more thorough method--like telling us all at once. what a concept that would be!
