I have often thought about this and I don't know if there is a definitive answer that applies to everyone.

I can say from personal experience I have been led, encouraged, exhorted and rebuked in dreams; and these dreams applied directly to certain time in my life.

I guess that was the way I was going to hear best, or more readily. In any case I didn't have to guess or wonder or suffer anxiety. I knew.

Just my two cents...

Thank you all for the replies.

When God speaks to you, over time there will be no denial in the impressions that some call them, or the speaking to you that others call it.

God will make sure you know who is speaking if it's Him - He did me and a few others others I've spoken to about this.

I'm in agreement with Arrabon for this has been my own experience. There's no mistaking the voice of the Lord when we hear Him but this doesn't mean we can't or even won't struggle with doubt. Don't fret if you do because you're in good company. I struggled greatly myself. 

Some of us hear His voice while others are moved upon by His Spirit in different ways, @Whyme. This hearkens to that crucible where God shapes us and seeing how the Lord does as He pleases, it's not up to us decide what He will or won't do. We don't make that call.  

Listen for His voice. I went through this myself... there's a difference between random thoughts and the voice of His Spirit. You'll discover what it is for He will teach you.

@Marathoner

Jeremiah 29: 11-13, "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans for good and not evil, for a future and a hope."

God has a plan for each of us, and if we surrender our lives to Him, because He owns us, bought with a price 

1 Corinthians 6:20

20 "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

We will know more than just His voice, but we will come to know Him personally and and get to enjoy all that He brings to us as we grow in His glory, and His image, as we find more and more JOY under the pinions of His wings of provision and protection.

 

Psalm 91:4

"4 He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may take refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and wall.

I was just telling God how there were too many people to pray for and i heard a voice in my head say "pray by my Spirit". To me this referred to how Gods Spirit prays for us without words but groanings. But was this Gods way? And was it His voice? Maybe it was just a random thought? Some people have problems with random thoughts popping up in their mind. They suffer with it, and i personally dont recommend listening to voices in ones head. I listen with my heart. I believe Gods Spirit does communicate with us without words other than reminding us of scripture when needed. Anyway, what a topic, im sure its not the first time this came up or the last. What's your opinion?

If the voice tells me to do something that is scriptural and the peace of God has ruled in my heart that it is something I should do, I do it.  One time I was asking Jesus to heal my young son's foot when he was in much pain and couldn't sleep.  The voice spoke to me and told me to ask the Father.  I did and told Him that I would rather bear the pain myself than to watch him suffer so at age 4.  Father told me "That is how much I want to heal you".   I wept.

Pray with Glosolalia is to build our own faith only. We need to pray for others one by one, if too many we still hv another day.

I have found that in many cases in my life the message I got from God in verbal form was, "Don't do that" in relation t something was doing or about to attempt.   He kept me from being across the street from the Federal Building when Tim McVay blew it up.  No one who was in that lot lived over it that I am aware of.

according to the Scriptures OO it would seem you were kept from the greatest blessing .... that being with Him
