Personal Revelation

President Nelsons talk: Read Talk

"The privilege of receiving revelation is one of the greatest gifts of God to His children."

Said President Lorenzo Snow, “This is the grand privilege of every Latter-day Saint … that it is our right to have the manifestations of the Spirit every day of our lives.”4

President Nelson told wendy that he told her he had personal revelation when he proposed to her. Guys you can say that! just make sure they are getting the same revelation! :)

"Whatever our Church calling, we can pray to our Heavenly Father and receive guidance . . . and be enabled to accomplish things we simply could not do on our own. 

The Prophet Joseph Smith set a pattern for us to follow in resolving our questions.  

[he] took his question directly to Heavenly Father. 

He sought personal revelation, 

and his seeking opened this last dispensation.

In like manner, what will your seeking open for you? 
What wisdom do you lack? 
What do you feel an urgent need to know or understand?"

THE HOW
Find a quiet place where you can regularly go. 
Humble yourself before God. 
Pour out your heart to your Heavenly Father. 
Turn to Him for answers, for comfort, about concerns, fears, and weaknesses.
Pray in the name of Jesus Christ about your concerns, your fears, your 
And then listen! 
Write the thoughts that come to your mind. 
Record your feelings.
Follow through with actions that you are prompted to take. 
Stretch beyond your current spiritual ability to receive.

"As you repeat this process day after day, month after month, year after year, you will “grow into the principle of revelation.”9"






You don’t have to wonder about what is true.11 You do not have to wonder whom you can safely trust. Through personal revelation, you can receive your own witness that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, that Joseph Smith is a prophet, and that this is the Lord’s Church. Regardless of what others may say or do, no one can ever take away a witness borne to your heart and mind about what is true.

Elder Neal A. Maxwell taught, “To those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, it is clear that the Father and the Son are giving away the secrets of the universe!”13

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Exact obedience, 
Earnest seeking, 
Daily feasting on the words of Christ in the Book of Mormon,
Regular time committed to temple and family history work.
Express gratitude for every blessing the Lord gives you.

You will be given the knowledge and understanding you seek. Every blessing the Lord has for you—even miracles—will follow. That is what personal revelation will do for you.

If we are to have any hope of sifting through the myriad of voices and the philosophies of men that attack truth, we must learn to receive revelation.

This is the most concise piece of information in  being able to learn how to be worthy to and receive revelation. I have been on a life long journey to learn the skill of being able to receive. I use to think that all the revelation I got was 'no' answers. I thought I was feeling a "stupor of thought." But I am learning Depression is not a stupor of thought.

What I am learning is the more I work on my thoughts and stay in a place of worthiness, I am more in tune with the spirit of God and am receiving. I have received promptings when Heavenly Father knows I need to know something. My next goal is to know the right questions to ask to be guided in a more precise way.
