YES! Many times in my life.

The one that comes to mind right now is one experience while I was in Mexico adopting our son. I was in the really dangerous border town of Ciudad Juarez and was all alone and don't speak Spanish. I had to stay there overnight to get the final paperwork done to cross back into the states.

I had a voice...twice tell me to walk away from a area I was heading. I also had it tell me which taxi driver to approach to take me across the border and into Texas.

I honestly believe these were divine voices to protect me while I was there on my journey. A white woman with a Mexican infant drew a lot of attention and I am sure I was in danger more than once.

One other time, again while I was in Mexico. When I walked into the room in teh orphanage and held my son for the first time....our eyes met and I heard this said to me in a very real voice (I actually looked around the room at first thinking it was a real voice in the room) "Finally....you came for me like you promised, I love you." I believe that was my infant son talking to me somehow. It was the strangest experience I've ever had.

I differentate this type of voice from what I call spiritual promptings...which are more feelings or my own impressions of what I need to do. I do feel these promptings are also divinely inspired.

My mother-in-law has many stories about this topic.

Yes

and since i'm posting to the thread I will be honest. The more I involve myself in the music ministry at church, the more I find messages within the music. I know thats not exactly what you meant, but lately if i am working on a certain issue, or having feelings about something - the right song comes along either on the radio, thru someone sending me songs as possibles for church service, from the music director as something we're working on for a message - and its like the lyrics were meant for me. As an 'answer' to my question or as guidance about the issue i've been praying about.
I know that sounds nuts, but it happens ALL the time that I'll be praying over something and a song is 'given to me' that answers the question or puts my mind at ease.

No dreams or visions, but I also do feel my heart has been moved by the holy spirit several times in my life and I've been somehow 'led' to do something or move in a certain direction

Yes, I have certainly had quite a few experience like this in my life. And I hope that the Ancestors and Gods will continue to do so.

I have those a lot. With all of my babies I knew their sexes as soon as I knew they were there. With the third,I knew before conception that she would be a girl. I also knew for certain I was pregnant with both of my daughters before I ever missed a period. Someone just "told me" and when I took the tests I had no doubt whatsoever that they would be positive. I have many experiences where the hairs on my arms will raise and I'll have goosebumps and a sort of tingly feeling through my body. I've had that as long as I can remember and it can signify impending danger or be some kind of conduction of strong emotions of someone else around me.
