People want to hear a voice or see a vision and place their faith in those things rather than the simple and clear Word of God. God speaks by His Son through the preaching of the Gospel, Heb. 1:1, and voices and visions are not of Him. We are born by the word not by visions and dreams and voices in our heads.
(1Pe 1:23) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

I think God uses actions to speak...He doesn't have to use words. He communicates to us in the best way for us to understand and respond according to His will.

As it is written...
God has primarily chosen to reveal His will to us through the written word.

Romans 1:17
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

(Heb 1:1) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
(Heb 1:2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
(Heb 1:3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
(Joh 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(Joh 1:2) The same was in the beginning with God.
(Joh 1:3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
(2Pe 1:16) For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
(2Pe 1:17) For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
(2Pe 1:18) And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
(2Pe 1:19) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
(2Pe 1:20) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
(2Pe 1:21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

He moves the heart by the word. The Spirit speaks by the word. We are born again by the word.
(1Pe 1:23) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
(Heb 4:12) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

I understand that the "Word" in context is literally Christ.
Revelation 19:13
He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

What I believe the Scriptures are fairly clear on is that God speaks by the preaching of His word.
(Rom 10:13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
(Rom 10:14) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
(Rom 10:15) And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
(Rom 10:16) But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
(Rom 10:17) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
I have already given other Scriptures to show why I am convinced of this. If you hear the voice of God I would ask if it is really God. God speaks by His word not in visions and dreams.

I can agree with that, twin. 
He does speak in visions and dreams though:
Numbers 12:6
he said, “Listen to my words: “When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.

Yes the Lord Jesus is the Logos or Word but we also know that since He is the express image of God and the Scriptures are about Him then the preaching of Christ from the word is preaching the word. Paul told Timothy to preach the word. Peter tells us that we have a more sure word of prophecy that is to be believed above even such things as they saw and heard on the mount. He tells us that it is the Scriptures. So yes Christ is the Word but the word is also Christ.

Yes He did in the Old Testament but now, according to Heb. 1:1-3 which I gave above, He has spoken in His Son.I can agree with that, twin.
Numbers 12:6
he said, “Listen to my words: “When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.
