There is order in the way the Lord reveals His will to mankind. We all have the right to petition the Lord and receive inspiration through His Spirit within the realm of our own stewardship. Parents can receive revelation for their own family, a bishop for his assigned congregation, on up to the First Presidency for the entire Church. However, we cannot receive revelation for someone else's stewardship. The Prophet Joseph Smith declared, "It is contrary to the economy of God for any member of the Church, or any one, to receive instruction for those in authority, higher than themselves." "Revelations of the mind and will of God to the Church, are to come through the [First] Presidency. This is the order of heaven."

Revelation Comes in an Orderly Way

Description
We can all receive personal revelation. However, only those who are called to a presiding office can receive revelation for the Church.
