How did the Spirit speak to Philip?

Acts 8:29 (ESV)

29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.”

Once again, similar to the angel, we are not told exactly how the Spirit spoke to Philip. He is frequently involved in the book of Acts, directing events (Acts 10:19; Acts 11:12; Acts 13:2, Acts 13:4; Acts 16:6–7).1 Similar to the angel of the Lord, the active involvement of the Spirit confirms that the Lord is controlling and planning the spread of the good news concerning Jesus Christ.
