5 Ways Angels Communicate With Us | Signs From Ancestors & the Spirit World (LDS)

Send us Fan MailHow do angels communicate with us, and how would you recognize it? In this LDS (Latter-day Saint) episode, Tia Smith reads from Donald W. Parry's LDS Living article "5 Ways Angels Communicate with Us," which lays out the specific ways heavenly messengers reach mortals — and notes that many of these visitations come from our own relatives who have passed on.Drawing on scripture and latter-day prophets and apostles, the article walks through five channels of angelic communication: through dreams and visions; by an audible voice; through thoughts or feelings impressed on the mind; through deep impressions that move us to act; and through "pure intelligence" that flows into our minds as revelation, without study or the passage of time. It also teaches an important principle Tia loves: this communication is governed by law and divine order — messengers from the spirit world act only by God's permission — and that the same power by which angels speak is the gift of the Holy Ghost, the "tongue of angels." Along the way you'll hear examples from Joseph Smith and the angel Moroni, Parley P. Pratt being awakened by a voice, and President Joseph F. Smith's teaching that faithful loved ones may be sent back to bring messages of love, warning, and instruction.Tia frames it all for the gathering of Israel: our Heavenly Father wants us to receive these communications, most often from ancestors, so we can know who on the other side of the veil needs help — and be comforted, guided, and protected as we do that work. As we study this doctrine and seek eyes to see, we discover it has been in front of us all along. Donald W. Parry's fuller treatment is in his book "Angels: Agents of Light, Love, and Power."Q: What are the 5 ways angels communicate with us?A: According to Donald W. Parry's LDS Living article, angels communicate through dreams and visions; by a voice; through thoughts or feelings; through deep impressions that prompt us to act; and through "pure intelligence" that flows directly into the mind as revelation. This episode explains each with examples from scripture and Latter-day Saint history.Q: Are the angels who visit us usually our ancestors?A: Often, yes. The article teaches that many visitations from the spirit world come from relatives — grandparents, parents, and siblings — and cites President Joseph F. Smith that faithful loved ones may be given a mission to return with messages of love, warning, or instruction. Tia Smith connects this directly to the gathering of Israel and doing temple work for our kindred dead.Q: What is the "tongue of angels," and how does the Holy Ghost relate to it?A: The episode explains, following Nephi and President Boyd K. Packer, that angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost — so to "speak with the tongue of angels" is to speak by that same power. It is usually quiet and unseen rather than dramatic, which is why most angelic communication is felt or heard in the mind rather than seen.▶️ WATCH & LISTEN🎬 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thinningoftheveil🌐 Website: https://www.thinningoftheveil.com🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinning-of-the-veil/id1753511394🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6jWCfMHkZXwnSwy2b98J4M🎵 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a0a45561-d4c2-46d3-af8d-a1e967a21a25📖 BOOKPatterns of Revelation — Spiritual Foundations for Hearing God's Voice: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BW36MG9B📱 CONNECTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinning.of.the.veilFacebook Group (Gathering of the Gatherers): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1429562078443774Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thinningoftheveil💛 SUPPORT THE SHOWVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/thinningoftheveilPayPal: https://paypal.me/thinningoftheveil✉️ Have you had a thinning of the veil experience?
