When does GOD Speak

During Quiet Time

In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will prepare [a prayer and a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart]. Ps 5:3 AMP

Example

Moses: Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it at a distance outside the camp. He called it the Tent of Meeting, and anyone inquiring of the LORD would go to the Tent of Meeting outside the camp. Then, whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would stand at the entrances to their own tents and watch Moses until he entered the tent. As Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and remain at the entrance, and the LORD would speak with Moses. Exodus 33:7-9 BSB

During Worship

While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said Acts 13:2 NIV

COMMENT: GOD speaks all the time, the above are just a few specific times that He does.
