God Spoke to Ammon

One of my favorite things about the scriptures is how revelations from God to His servants are depicted, like this one to Ammon:

11 And it came to pass that Ammon went and inquired of the Lord, and the Lord said unto him:
12 Get this people out of this land, that they perish not; for Satan has great hold on the hearts of the Amalekites, who do stir up the Lamanites to anger against their brethren to slay them; therefore get thee out of this land; and blessed are this people in this generation, for I will preserve them (Alma 27).

God literally speaks to His chosen servants. The communications He sends are as clear and understandable as when two men speak aloud to each other face to face. They are so clear that they can easily be written down on a piece of paper or passed on to others by word of mouth. It intrigues me to no end how this is accomplished. I wonder did Ammon hear an audible voice coming from above him, in the direction of heaven? Or perhaps did the ideas formulate in his mind through the Holy Ghost? I suppose it could have been one of numerous different ways, but the fact is that the revelation was transferred from God to man in a manner that was understandable to man. This is a great blessing, to be able to go to God and receive direction on the way we need to go.
