Increase Your Capacity to Receive Revelation

 I have been asked by our Relief Society presidency to prepare an article for each month's Relief Society newsletter on spiritual preparedness.   I thought I might just as well publish those articles here as well. They publish on the first day of the month.  This is December's article.

 Because of the words of our prophet, I have been looking for everything I can find on how to better receive personal revelation.  President Nelson said: "In the coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost."



President Nelson gave us the step-by-step formula for receiving personal revelation:  

1. Follow the example of the Prophet Joseph:  Find a quiet place where you can regularly go.  

2. Humble yourself before God. 

3. Pour out your heart to your Heavenly Father. 

4. Turn to Him for answers and for comfort.

5. Pray in the name of Jesus Christ about your concerns, your fears, your weaknesses- yes, the very longings of your heart. 

6. And then listen! 

7. Write the thoughts that come to your mind. 

8. Record your feelings and follow through with actions that you are prompted to take.
