We all wonder how God speaks. Does He speak audibly? Does He speak through my pastor? My friends? Or, is God finished speaking? Can I hear Him only through the Bible???
I studied through the book of Acts asking this very question. How does God speak? This list is NOT exhaustive:
*Audibly…through Jesus on Earth Acts 1:3; 11:16
*Through Angels Acts 1:10; 10:3-ff; 11:13; 12:7-ff
*Through the Old Testament Acts 1:20
*Through Casting Lots??? Acts 1:26
*Through Men Acts 2:11, 9:17-19; 10:33
*Through Old Testament Prophets Acts 2:16-21, 34-35; 3:21-23; 10:43; 13:32-35, 41, 47
*Through King David (Godly Men) Acts 2:25-28, 34-35
*Through Apostles Acts 2:38-39
*Through Miracles Acts 2:43; 3:6-10, 9:17-19
*By Power of the Holy Spirit Acts 4:8-ff; 13:9-ff (Saul, filled with the HS said…)

*Through Healing Acts 9:32-35, 40-42
*Through Parables Acts 10:9-ff
