In this sermon, Michael Todd shared 11 ways God speaks. The Bible says that His sheep hear His voice and they follow Him.
A voice from God spoke to Moses through a burning bush, and Joseph heard God’s voice in the middle of a dream. But the One who spoke the earth and the stars into being still speaks to us today. When we try to figure out who our Creator is, our lives will start to show us how He protects us. These are the ways that God will possibly use to speak to you.

The message that God has for us is not only communicated to us via other people, but God also communicates with us through ourselves. Therefore, it is important to maintain a state of readiness to serve as an agent for the word of God at all times.
9. Media
God uses the media to speak to people, whether it be television, social media, or written media.
