Does the Lord ever speak to you?

Get out of bed, go get that apartment, it will be okay, move to California, save the animals and forests, stand firm against Randroids.

I think many lords may speak to us, though it may be in very subtle ways.
It might be more like a system of guidance which projects onto us indirect commands, not making us do anything, but rather revealing the light to those who are open.
When we pray for example, God doesn't necessarily 'give' us anything; he instead alters the flow and makes events immanent.

No, he keeps leaving messages for other people. That's the problem with a god, being infallible if he gets the wrong number he pops out of existence, but his phone gets stuck in a loop and keeps ringing you for eternity.

It's a long time that is.

Nope, I actually think that mankind's direct contact and communication with any deities is remarkably and logically limited, a lot of miracles, supernatural and saintly happenings I'm suspiscious about and think there is only tenuous evidence for it and I actually think the amount of intervention and direction described in the scriptures of world religions is exaggerated or misconstrued too. Even if people were more attuned to the divine and supernatural then than now.

God speaks to everyone as soon as we realise we are all God and God is all of us and in all things.

No divine entities speak to me. Any internal dialogue/monologue is merely the product of my own synaptic fireworks.
I build myself every day. In that respect, perhaps I am my own divine (though not allpowerful/cosmic) creator.

God enters my body and uses me as a vessel to spread his word to the unenlightened masses (y'all)

For some reason, your phrasing reminded me of that movie, The Messenger: Joan of Arc. Particularly the line where she is arguing with someone, emphatically saying, "I AM THE DRUM ON WHICH GOD IS BEATING OUT HIS MESSAGE." (pretty sure she's typed as INFP, so maybe that's another reason it popped in my head, who knows.. my head's an odd place)

(I couldn't find a clip of it, but remembering that line reminded me of this clip, somewhat related, but perhaps not. I'm only posting it for comedic purposes, however [particularly the last sword scenario], & hopefully it's well received)

When did you first realize that you were God?

Well, I had noticed that every time I prayed, I was talking to myself.

My god has horns and tells me I'm a goddess.

I only worship cetacean deities. Surprisingly, I have not seen Star Trek IV.

And he only makes his presence known when I ingest these little capsules.
One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small, and the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all...go ask Alice when she's 10 feet tall.

No but then I dont really expect the Lord to speak to me, that stuff is way, way rarer than anyone makes out. Not even many of the great mystics actually claim to have had a direct interface with the almighty, it doesnt work like that.
