Holy Ghost
I find that when I get casual in my relationships in divinity and when it seems that no divine ear is listening and no divine voice is speaking that I am far, far away. If I immerse myself in the scriptures the distance narrows and the spirituality returns.
There are certain things you simply cannot do if you want to have the Holy Ghost with you, it is not possible to sin and expect the Holy Ghost to remain with you. When anyone sins, it should not be a surprise. If feelings of loneliness, discouragement, and unworthiness follow, repent if you need to so you can enjoy the companionship of the Spirit.
The Spirit does not get our attention by shouting or shaking us with a heavy hand. Rather it whispers. It caresses so gently that if we are preoccupied we may not feel it at all. (Ensign, January 1983)
Through your intellect, you learn most of what you know about the world in which we live. But if you learn by reason only, you will never understand the Spirit and how it works – regardless of how much you learn about other things. (Ensign, November, 1994)
As starving men crave a crust of bread, as choking men thirst for water, so do the righteous yearn for the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is a Revelator: he is a Sanctifier; he reveals truth, and he cleanses human souls. He is the Spirit of Truth, and his baptism is one of fire; he burns dross and evil out of repentant souls as though by fire. The gift of the Holy Ghost is the greatest of all the gifts of God, as pertaining to this life; and those who enjoy that gift here and now, will inherit eternal life hereafter, which is the greatest of all the gifts of God in eternity.
I had a feeling a person may profit by noticing the first intimation of the spirit of revelation; for instance, when you feel pure intelligence flowing into you, it may give you sudden strokes of ideas, so that by noticing it, you may find it fulfilled the same day or soon…those things that were presented unto your minds by the Spirit of God, will come to pass; and thus by learning the Spirit of God and understand it, you may grow into the principle of revelation, until you become perfect in Christ Jesus.
The voice is still small. |
