Lord speaking to man

When conversing with men, God and his angels speak according to the language and understanding of those they have chosen to address.

Joseph Fielding McConkie and Robert L. Millet, Doctrinal Commentary, 1:359

A Person may profit by noticing the first intimation of the spirit of revelation; for instance, when you feel pure intelligence flowing into you, it may give you sudden strokes of ideas, so that by noticing it, you may find it fulfilled the same day or soon; (i.e.) those things that were presented unto your minds by the Spirit of God, will come to pass; and thus by learning the Spirit of God and understanding it, you may grow into the principle of revelation, until you become perfect in Christ Jesus.
