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. - D&C 8:2.
"I testify that inspiration can be the spring of every person's hope, guidance, and strength," declared Elder James E. Faust, then of the Quorum of the Twelve, at the April 1980 general conference. "It is one of the magnificent treasures of life. It involves coming to the infinite knowledge of God.
"How do revelation and inspiration operate? Each person has a built-in `receiving set' which, when fine-tuned, can be a receiver of divine communications. Said Job, `There is a spirit in man: and . . . the Almighty giveth them understanding.' (Job 32:8.) It is possible, like Nephi, to be led completely by the Spirit, `not knowing beforehand' that which should be done. (See 1 Ne. 4:6.)
". . . One does not necessarily hear an audible voice. The spirit of revelation comes by divine confirmation."
