. . . I say unto you, that assuredly as the Lord liveth, who is your God and your Redeemer, even so surely shall you receive a knowledge of whatsoever things you shall ask in faith, with an honest heart, believing that you shall receive. . . .
Yea, behold I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground.
Therefore, this is thy gift; apply unto it, and blessed art thou, for it shall deliver you out of the hands of your enemies, when, if it were not so, they would slay you and bring your soul to destruction. - D&C 8:1-4
"The gospel of Jesus Christ is the only true and valid basis for our lives," declared Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Seventy at October 1994 general conference.
"If we enter it into our system - into `all [our] heart, might, mind and strength' (D&C 4:2) - we will know how to choose the right and to whom to listen," added Elder Uchtdorf, an airline captain.
"On long-range flights the shortwave radio frequencies are often crowded, and static distorts the messages. The same is true for our lives. Everybody wants to get their message across. We have to train and condition ourselves to hear the still, small voice, never to be distracted or stop listening because of too much static on that sacred frequency. This can best be done by internalizing and acting according to the moral and ethical standards we receive from the scriptures and the living prophets.
" . . . We are receiving updated sacred guidance according to our needs and readiness. The general conference messages by our prophets, seers and revelators are given to us by the Lord in His own time, in His own way, and for a very special purpose."
