Apprising Ministries brings you the following from The Mystic Baptist by Mark Galli:

[Charles Stanley, y]ou often say in your books and preaching that God speaks to you, tells you things, and gives you messages.

What is that like for you? Is it a thought? Is it a voice you hear?

For me, I get this strong sense of feeling that’s so clear, so direct to me.

Like this week, something happened and I thought, Well, I could do thus and such, and God said, “Don’t do that.”

I don’t hear a voice, but it’s so crystal sharp and clear to me, I know not to disobey that. (source)
