God speaks to people in a quite and still voice, meaning you have to be spiritually sound if you expect to hear an answer. Like Drich said most answers come while sincerely reading the Bible, though I have heard his voice communicating with my spirit and for me it sounded as an audible voice.Have you heard of your inner/internal monologue. The voice in your head is literally yourself.

Did I say they were in my head, no, I said my spirit, that part of man that God created so we could know Him.

My wife and I care for a beautiful young lady, you could say we've adopted her and that means the problems she has also. When she was born, very premature, she weighed 3lbs. and very mentally challenged, at the age of 30 she she developed schizophrenia, can you even imagine what her 5 year old mind was going through. Then she was institutionalized 400 miles away from home and anyone she knew, now what do you think her mind was going through. Well I can tell you it was about as awful as things could get, we've been dealing with this for three years now and she is doing so much better. People who knew her before she came to us say, they can't believe she's the same girl they knew. So yes I know all about schizophrenia and the effect it has on people. Now you can take your diagnosis and stuff it where the sun doesn't shine. I'm completely sane and a fairly smart person and know and understand my experiences. In actuality I feel sorry for you because you've never experienced anything from the Creator of the universe.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
