Personal Revelation

          Personal revelation is something given to us by our Heavenly Father. He knows us best and knows what is best for us. Pray and you will receive answers to your questions. The answers you receive may not always come right away or be the answer you want. However, it is important to pay attention to how you feel. If you feel it is right, then proceed. If you feel it is wrong, then change. As you seek revelation, pray in faith. You must have faith in order to receive revelation. Have enough faith to submit your will to God. 


“Decisions are constantly before us. To make them wisely, courage is needed—the courage to say no, the courage to say yes. Decisions do determine destiny.”
          - President Monson

“Meaningful prayer requires both holy communication and consecrated work.”
          - Elder Bednar

“Faith is not only the principle of action, but of power also, in all intelligent beings, whether in heaven or on earth.”
          - Joseph Smith

“As one's will is increasingly submissive to the will of God, he can receive inspiration and revelation so much needed to help meet the trials of life. In the trying and very defining Isaac episode, faithful Abraham staggered not . . . through unbelief.”
          - Elder Maxwell 

"Every Latter-day Saint may merit personal revelation. The invitation to ask, seek, and knock for divine direction exists because God lives and Jesus is the living Christ."
          - Russell M. Nelson

“To access information from heaven, one must first have a firm faith and a deep desire. One needs to ‘ask with a sincere heart [and] real intent, having faith in [Jesus] Christ’ (Moroni 10:4). ‘Real intent’ means that one really intends to follow the divine direction given.”
          - Elder Russell M. Nelson

"The Holy Ghost is the messenger for the Father and the Son and the teacher of and guide to all truth (see John 14:26; 16:13). Thus, 'by the power of the Holy Ghost [we] may know the truth of all things' (Moroni 10:5).

"The knowledge and spiritual conviction we receive from the Holy Ghost are the result of revelation."  
          - Elder David A. Bednar

“Revelation from God is always compatible with His eternal law. It never contradicts His doctrine.”
           - Elder Russell M. Nelson

“We need to embrace, study, and appreciate the revealed truths that are ours. We need to declare the gospel generously and kindly to all of our Father's children.”
          - M. Russell Ballard 

"Each of us should be careful that the current flood of information does not occupy our time so completely that we cannot focus on and hear and heed the still, small voice that is available to guide each of us with outgrown challenges today."
          - Elder Dallin H. Oaks

"Now the Lord would give us gift. He will quicken our minds. He will give us ... a knowledge that will be so deeply rooted in our souls that [it] can never be rooted out, if we will just seek for the light ... and the understanding which is promised to us, and which we can receive if we will only be true and faithful to every covenant and obligation pertaining to the gospel of Jesus Christ."
          - President Joseph Fielding Smith
