I especially like recognizing that we don't always receive revelation in the same way and it's important to recognize it for ourselves. Also, the really important concept of eliminating the things that drive the spirit away. That's probably one of the biggest factors, isn't it?Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914081924660422629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685730115699419047.post-22151702958088536752009-02-06T15:03:00.000-08:002009-02-06T15:03:00.000-08:00In section 8 of the Doctrine and Covenants when ex...In section 8 of the Doctrine and Covenants when explaining what revelation actually is the Lord uses the example of Moses and the parting of the Red Sea.<BR/><BR/>This example can give us so many different levels of understanding. One of my favorite illustrations is that of being will to "put your money where your mouth is". <BR/><BR/>When the children of Israel get to the Red Sea they murmur, of course! lol Moses then does what all prophets do and quiets them with his burning testimony of the Lord and His power to save:<BR/><BR/>“And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.”<BR/><BR/>The next instruction that is given is from the Lord to Moses:<BR/>“Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.”<BR/><BR/>In other words, you obviously KNOW in your mind what to do, you have the priesthood and the power to do it. You have born witness that you KNOW what to do from your heartfelt testimony...NOW DO IT! <BR/><BR/>I believe that our mind already knows truth, it is a matter of our heart following through with it!In The Doghousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168341244739209780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685730115699419047.post-81195469834555705112009-02-06T06:19:00.000-08:002009-02-06T06:19:00.000-08:00I was talking to my Dad last week about recognizin...I was talking to my Dad last week about recognizing answers from the spirit. He was telling me that he was always waiting for a"burning in his bosom"(D&C 9:7) but later realized that when he "felt it was right" that was the answer he was looking for. I think for me the key is to keep asking and listening carefully for the answer. It also helps me to recognize what things drive the spirit away.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328121153076747788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685730115699419047.post-70573901966389263262009-02-05T16:38:00.000-08:002009-02-05T16:38:00.000-08:00I think that it is important for us to understand ...I think that it is important for us to understand that the Holy Ghost communicates differently for most people, and recognizing it in our personal lives can be a challenge, but when we do, we are able to respond the his promptings and feel the comfort of the Savior.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, the answer we are hoping for might not be the answer we get which is why we have to submit our will to that of Heavenly Father, although to be honest, I never thought of that before. And I sit here wondering, if I have done that as I should.Amanda Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662814069840360787noreply@blogger.com
