When seeking the Spirit and personal revelation, it’s important to do so within the correct framework. Quoting Preach My Gospel, Elder [Gary E.] Stevenson said: “‘Having the guidance of the Holy Ghost in your life requires spiritual work. This work includes fervent prayer and consistent scripture study. It also includes keeping your covenants and God’s commandments. … It includes worthily partaking of the sacrament each week’ [Preach My Gospel, 101].”
He then provided four additional guiding principles for “inviting and recognizing the promptings of the Spirit”:
- 1. Stand in Holy Places: “Our temples and homes are the most sacred of these dedicated spaces.”
2. Stand with Holy People: “If you hope to feel the Spirit, be with people with whom the Spirit can easily dwell.”
3. Testify of Holy Truths: “The Comforter always shares his voice when we testify with our voice.”
4. Listen to the Holy Spirit: “He speaks in subtle, quiet tones. … Find a quiet place, a holy space where you can seek to receive direction from the Spirit.”
