God speaks to us through his Word, plain and simple.
But that is certainly not the only way. He can reveal Himself to us by any means He chooses. The Creator and Savior of the world is not bound by the covers of a book.
The Word is the benchmark. He is bound by His Word to us and is a lamp onto our feet. Without that, we have no constant.
If God "says" anything to you that does not line up with the Word, it is false. To believe otherwise is where false doctrines come from for proud men with ticklish ears.
