divine communication

Word from above

Divine communication is any means by which a deity or higher power conveys messages to humans—through scripture, prophets, visions, dreams, or inner conviction.

Religious traditions describe it variously: God speaking to Moses, the angel Gabriel revealing the Quran, the Holy Spirit guiding believers.

She believed the recurring dream was divine communication.

The phrase often implies revelation rather than ordinary insight.
