Have you ever wondered why the Holy Spirit rarely speaks in plain language? He communicates to us in dreams, visions and prophecy (Acts 2:17), in unknown tongues (1 Cor 14:2), and in light, spontaneous impressions. His messages—especially in dreams and visions—are often symbolic in nature. And many times, His communications are brief and fragmented, as though He is leaving us a clue to follow. Why does God communicate to us in this way? After all, wouldn’t it be easier if He spoke in clear, easy to understand speech?
