Yes, when she was 13 she heard the voices of St. Michael, St. Margaret, and St. Catherine. They told her that she needed to help the King of France, Charles VII, and help him reclaim the French land that was taken over by the English. She also heard the voice of God who told her to fight in war with the French and help them win (France was losing many battles and soldiers then)

suggest you sample the Knight-Kit line of Walkie-talkies made in Chicago. the pun is obvious, surely she would have used one if available in her time. Somebody propped one of these sets up on a Joan of Arc statue in a Chicago park- so the story goes and started broadcasting in French- must of been a good Halloween Prank. The Knight kit was one of the first commercially popular walkie-talkies, sold in kit form.

Joan of Arc always believed that she heard the Voice of God, and sometimes the Saints, speaking to her directly. She claimed that these Heavenly Voices told her that it was her Duty to liberate France from the English occupation and restore the King to his rightful position. She displayed a deep conviction in the validity of these voices, and was able to convince the King and Senior Nobles (eventually) to involve her in their operations. She rapidly became a Talisman and helped France win the war - all because of these Voices.
