Lesson 296: The Holy Spirit Speaks Through Me Today.

Send Hope a Text

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to completely surrender your voice to a higher wisdom? Lesson 296 from A Course in Miracles offers a profound invitation: "The Holy Spirit speaks through me today."

This transformative lesson challenges us to become clear channels for the voice of love. Rather than using our words to reinforce fear, judgment, or separation, we're called to give our voice specifically to extend God's word to everyone we encounter. The process begins by tuning into our heart energy and recognizing the distinct difference between speaking from inspiration versus speaking from conflict.

Hope Johnson beautifully explains that inspired communication carries a quality of sharing—it emerges not from a desire to correct others but from a loving energy that connects rather than divides. She offers practical guidance on discerning when the Holy Spirit is speaking through us versus when the ego has hijacked our words. The key indicator? An open heart. When your heart feels shut down, that's when you're done speaking.

The lesson reveals a profound truth about spiritual practice: teaching and learning are always one. Whatever we give, we strengthen in ourselves. As we speak forgiveness, we learn forgiveness. As we offer peace, we receive peace. This recognition collapses the apparent duality between teacher and student, creating an unconflicted learning goal that becomes "possible of easy reach and quick accomplishment."

Ready to experience this gentle transformation? Begin today by dedicating your voice to love. Before responding to anything, pause and ask, "What would love have me say?" At day's end, reflect on moments where your words carried peace rather than judgment, noticing how those instances taught you as much as they blessed others. The Holy Spirit isn't demanding anything—just consent, and experience the freedom that comes when perception and expression both serve to release the world into peace.
