The Ways in which the Holy Ghost Communicates with Us

Isn’t it wonderful that we are given the gift of the Holy Ghost; a constant companion through our lives?

He is meant to be our personal guide to help us get home and will lead us whenever we are in need. If only we would always hear and recognize his voice.

I am so grateful that the Spirit of the Lord communicates with us in the ways that touch us the most. I know the Holy Ghost communicates with me often by the feelings in my heart.

Spirit of Revelation

Several years ago, Elder David A. Bednar gave a wonderful talk about the Spirit of Revelation. He explained how we may receive answers to our prayers. He said, “A light turned on in a dark room is like receiving a message from God quickly, completely, and all at once. Many of us have experienced this pattern of revelation as we have been given answers to sincere prayers or been provided with needed direction or protection, according to God’s will and timing. Descriptions of such immediate and intense manifestations are found in the scriptures, recounted in Church history, and evidenced in our own lives. Indeed, these mighty miracles do occur. However, this pattern of revelation tends to be more rare than common.”

He then explained the second pattern for receiving revelation, which is most common. He said, “The gradual increase of light radiating from the rising sun is like receiving a message from God “line upon line, precept upon precept.” Most frequently, revelation comes in small increments over time and is granted according to our desire, worthiness, and preparation. Such communications from Heavenly Father gradually and gently “distil upon [our souls] as the dews from heaven.” 1

Voice

No matter how quickly we receive answers, there are certain ways the Spirit talks to us.

President Boyd K. Packer said, “The Spirit is a voice that one feels more than one hears.” 2 Sometimes it leaves us an impression, sometimes there are specific words that come to mind or words we find in the scriptures. There are feelings and promptings, dreams and visions. Often conversations with others on either side of the veil can deliver a message we need to hear. No matter which forms the answers come in, it will be accompanied by peace in the heart.

When I was involved in a car accident late in my first pregnancy, I was shown what was happening and what I needed to do just seconds before it actually happened. The spirit instructed and commanded me. There was no hesitation to act but my body obeyed before I consciously knew what was happening. I would compare that extraordinary moment to the first example given by Elder Bednar in flipping the light switch.

I have had to learn other things with faith and patience. For example, learning how to love and be gentle with myself with all my weaknesses has been an ongoing challenge which I have yet to master. The Spirit has brought truths to my heart and love from my Heavenly Parents when I have needed it most.

Assurance

Elder Renland said, “Remember the Lord’s promise: “I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall enlighten your mind, which shall fill your soul with joy.” I love that assurance. Joy that fills our souls brings with it an eternal perspective in contrast to day-to-day living. That joy comes as peace amidst hardship or heartache. It provides comfort and courage, unfolds the truths of the gospel, and expands our love for the Lord and all God’s children.”3

Our new Prophet, President Russell M. Nelson just encouraged us in our recent conference to learn to recognize the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. May we each take his counsel to find out how this most wonderful gift talks to us individually.

  • Two months ago, I had been a victim of a bitcoin scam, a con artist gained access to my cash app account and stole $267,700. I was really devastated. I tried on my own to see if I could get it back. I went online read articles on how I can recover my bitcoin back, it did not go well. I went to YouTube to see if someone talked about how one can recover their finds but that too did not go well. Within my research, I came across testimonials about RecoveryHacker101 on how they help and have helped a lot of people recover their bitcoins and how a lot of people have also refereed them to others. I immediately got in touch with them and explained my situation to them and assured me they will help get my Bitcoin back. I decided to give them a try and they definitely did a great job; all my money was recovered back into my new wallet account in a few days. I’m writing this to inform anyone who has had similar issues to open a case with RecoveryHacker101 via email on recoveryhacker101(at)gmail(dot)com. I luckily escaped what ought to have destroyed me financially, you too can escape it.

  • I once lost an incredible amount of money to a fake Binary option Brokers i think about 2years ago, It all started from a phone call and after some persuasion I decided to invest, after months of constant investment about 130k$, I decided to ask for a payout this was the beginning of my turmoil, to my dismay I was still asked to invest more. Being a Single father this really affected me and despite all efforts to contact them failed. I was introduced to REMOTEACCESSRECOVERY @ GMAIL COM they took legal actions against them and they helped me retrieve my funds i couldn’t be more thankful
