Personal Revelation (Part 3)

And what does God want to reveal to us?

Confirmation of testimonies born to you
  • "Being filled with the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of the Father and the Son" - Moses 1:24
  • "[Alma] believed the words which Abinadi had spoken" Mosiah 16:2
  • "If he will bow down before me, and humble himself in mighty prayer and faith, in the sincerity of heart, then will I grant unto him a view of the things which he desires to see." D&C 5:24
  • "the Spirit cried witha loud voice, saying ... blessed art thou, Nephi, because thou believest in the Son of the most high God; wherefore, thou shalt behold the things which thou hast desired." 1 Nephi 11:6

When others bear witness of truth to us (written or spoken), we can receive revelation from God that what they have said is true. Whether this is in the moment of their testimony or in the private moments of prayer, we can receive that confirmation for ourselves.
