I had an extraordinary experience with the voice of God through the Spirit. I was driving too fast down a narrow street when I distinctly heard the voice of my driving instructor from years ago asking me what I should look out for between parked cars. I thought of children and slowed down. As I was doing so, a small boy ran out in front of the car; I slammed on the brakes; and when I stopped, the boy was standing in front of the vehicle with his hands on the hood.
My first thought was, wow, God chose the voice of my instructor to get the urgent message across! That’s astonishing!
My later thought was that it was perhaps my own mind that selected and generated the voice; that the Spirit communicates with me at a subconscious level, and my mind interpreted the message as it rose through layers of consciousness into a form customised to the immediate need.
Perhaps the language that God speaks lies deeper than articulated words and verbal thoughts.
A reflection on God as a polyglot:
