I don't believe God speaks verbally to people now. He speaks to believers thru His Holy Bible.

Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son

Prior to the incarnation of Jesus, ("in time past"), God spoke directly to His prophets, who wrote down His words which are called by Christians the Old Testament. Since the incarnation of Jesus, and during His earthly ministry, God spoke to the people thru Jesus ("hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son"). The apostles of Jesus wrote down the words that Jesus said in the books that Christians call the Gospel. After Jesus ascended to Heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit to give His words to the apostles to write down in letters to the churches, which Christians call Epistles.

Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

The only prophetic book in the New Testament was revealed to apostle John. He was the last person to actually hear the voice of God.

Revelation 1
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia

19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
