The Blessing of Continuing Revelation to Prophets and Personal Revelation to Guide Our Lives (excerpts)
In addition to … great foundational scriptures, we are blessed with continuing revelation to living prophets. …
Some revelations are of monumental importance, and others enhance our understanding of essential divine truths and provide guidance for our day. …
I declare with all solemnity that continuous revelation has been received and is being received through channels the Lord has established. I testify the new proclamation President Nelson delivered this morning is a revelation to bless all people. …
Personal revelation is available to all those who humbly seek guidance from the Lord. It is as important as prophetic revelation. …
Personal revelation is based on spiritual truths received from the Holy Ghost. …
The Spirit communicates in marvelous ways. …
Although its impact can be incredibly powerful, it most often comes quietly as a still, small voice. …
Some principles that prepare us to receive revelation include:
-
Praying for spiritual guidance. …
-
Preparing for inspiration. …
-
Partaking of the sacrament worthily. …
The Holy Ghost will also provide revelation in our callings and assignments. In my experience, significant spiritual guidance most often comes when we are trying to bless others in fulfilling our responsibilities. …
My humble plea today is that each of us will seek continuing revelation to guide our lives and follow the Spirit as we worship God the Father in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
