How might a supernatural, invisible Spirit reveal Himself? 
God reveals Himself in 4 ways.
Creation & Conscience (General Revelation)
Christ & Word of God (Special Revelation)

1 Creation
An ordered creation points to an intelligent creator.
Creation reveals the power and nature of God..
Romans 1:19-20
19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

2 Conscience
Within our hearts and minds is a conviction of right and wrong.
A law written on the hearts of mankind..
Romans 2:15
15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)

He has set eternal things on the heart of humanity.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

3 Christ
The incarnation reveals God in the person of Jesus Christ.
John 1:14

Seeing Jesus Christ is seeing the invisible God!

Colossians 1:15
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
From <[link]> 
God speaks to us in many ways… but in these last days God has spoken by His son!

Hebrews 1:1-2
In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.

4 Word of God
Jesus taught that the Scriptures reveal who He is. (Luke 24:27, 44–45; John 5:39).
Peter taught that the accounts of New Testament were not made up stories but eyewitness accounts. Peter also commend the Old Testament prophetic accounts as reliable.
2 Peter 1:16:19
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
From <[link]> 
"The Bible tells us that God reveals Himself to humans in four primary ways. All that God has created in nature discloses who He is. Our consciences (the human mind and heart) bear witness to the existence of God. He reveals Himself to us through His Word and the person of Jesus Christ. The first two ways that God reveals Himself to us are general and limited. But the second two avenues of revelation are personal, full, and complete."
