"The voice of the Spirit comes as a feeling rather than a sound. You will learn, as I have learned, to 'listen' for that voice that is felt rather than heard…

"The gift of the Holy Ghost, if you consent, will guide and protect you and even correct your actions. It is a spiritual voice that comes into the mind as a thought or a feeling put into your heart"
