Personal Revelation

Mission Statement 

I simply love that our church believes in personal revelation. It makes so much sense that if God spoke with the ancient prophets, that he speaks to them today, and in turn, speaks to us through answered prayers. I have personally have had revelations that pertain to only myself or my children. It truly is something personal and proof of divine intervention in our lives. I am thankful that I can turn to my father in heaven in prayer for revelation that pertains to my family. It is another testament that God does live, he loves us, we are his children, and he never wants us to feel alone.

Our Search

Elder M. Russell Ballard 

Our Search For Happiness 

“To those who say that all revelation ended with the death of Christ's original apostles and that we already have all of the instruction from God we will ever need, Joseph Smith's story stands as solemn testimony that God hasn't shut the door on His children. He loves us today just as much as He loved those who lived anciently, and He is just as concerned about us as He was about them.”

“This principle is true for all members of the Church as we prepare to participate in ward, stake, and general conferences. We study out in our minds what we need and desire from Heavenly Father, and we pray to understand and apply that which we are taught.”

“Each of us must stay in condition to respond to inspiration and the promptings of the Holy Ghost. The Lord has a way of pouring pure intelligence into our minds to prompt us, to guide us, to teach us, and to warn us.”

Obtain Revelation and Inspiration

“Our Heavenly Father did not put us on earth to fail but to succeed gloriously. It may seem paradoxical, but that is why recognizing answers to prayer can sometimes be very difficult. Sometimes we unwisely try to face life by depending on our own experience and capacity. It is much wiser for us to seek through prayer and divine inspiration to know what to do. Our obedience assures that when required, we can qualify for divine power to accomplish an inspired objective.”

“The Holy Ghost communicates important information that we need to guide us in our mortal journey. When it is crisp and clear and essential, it warrants the title of revelation. When it is a series of promptings we often have to guide us step by step to a worthy objective, for the purpose of this message, it is inspiration.”

Life Lessons

Elder Dallin H. Oaks 

Life Lessons Learned

“Personal revelation often follows the Lord's pattern of gradual disclosure, 'line upon line; here a little, and there a little.'"

“You ought to know that the Lord loves you. He will make that known to you, and it will be a very private and individual experience, something you cannot explain to anyone else.”
