Jesus speaks to me in words. The Holy Spirit tells me things by just letting me know, no words, but I just know. Also the Holy Spirit/Jesus has for a long time used the gift of tongues to teach me. I will have a question for Jesus and will speak a tongue and my wife will have the interpretation of the tongue, which will be the answer to my question. I have had visions, but they were of Jesus teaching and scolding me, now here I really don’t know if it is Jesus or the Holy Spirit. Jesus always seems more human. What I mean is he seem to come to me as my father would or like a friend. He is personable, asked to be invited or will joke with me.
For the last ten years or so Jesus/Holy Spirit just seem to put thoughts, words and ideas in to me.
I have heard Jesus speak to me audibly, but this was in the very first year of my ministry
