In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

(God can speak to us in so many ways, even in a dream. However, these can also be imitated by the devil or by the flesh. So it is again, important to have the inner witness of the Holy Spirit and to be grounded in the Word of God

[1 Thessalonians 5:21] ... Test everything. Hold on to the good.)

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 

And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

(God speaks through us through a still small voice: thoughts or impressions or a gentle voice of God)

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

(God speaks to us through prophecies given by others)

For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

(The people of God may give us different perspectives or confirmation. However, we still need to have the inner witness of the Holy Spirit and not be over-dependent on others)

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

(God speaks to us through His servants)

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

(inspiration: God breathed, product of the breath of God) This is one of the ways that God speaks to us. When we read His Word, the Holy Spirit teaches us and tells us things. Are we reading His Word and "listening" to Him?

For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
