"The Holy Spirit comes down into our hearts sometimes in prayer with a beam from heaven, whereby we see more at once of God and His glory, more astounding thoughts and enlarged apprehensions of God, many beams meeting in one and falling to the center of our hearts. By these coming down or divine influxes, God slides into our hearts by beams of HImself; we come not to have communion with God by way of many broken thoughts put together, but there is a contraction of many beams from heaven, which is shed into our hearts and souls, so that we know more of God and have more communion with Him in a quarter-hour than we could know in a year by the way of wisdom only."~~~~T. Goodwin
