Receiving revelation of the truth.

Communication between God and his children is something that is happening in our day and time just as it has happened in times past. God speaks to you and I in simple ways. I think it is helpful to know that we can to speak to God and that we can ask him for guidance and direction in whatever it is we are in need of. I know that He is aware of us and wants to bless us during our time on earth.
God communicates with us in different ways. I'd like to touch on a couple of them here briefly.
(1.) At different times through out history, when God has had important truths to teach to His children on earth, he has taught them through special witnesses called Prophets and Apostles. God always follows this pattern when He wants his children to know His true Gospel. In the old Testament of the Bible, it says this in Amos Chapter 3 verse 7. "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." God teaches His prophets on the earth the truths of his Gospel and commands them to teach those truths to others. He also gives them priesthood authority to act in His name. Prophets teach in a couple ways. One way is by word of mouth and another is by writing their words down in sacred books called scripture. People either hear the words of the Prophets or read their words in the scriptures and can know for themselves the truthfulness of what they have just read and heard through the peaceful feelings that come from the Holy Ghost.
(2.) In addition to Communicating to God through prophets and apostles, God can speak to His children personally through the feelings they receive from the Holy Ghost. You and I can pray to know if something we have heard is from God and if we pray in faith, fully expecting to receive an answer, God will reveal the truth of it unto you by this special witness. As the Lord answers your prayers and you feel that the message is true the servants of the Lord invite us to act upon their teachings by being baptized into His church. Today my Dads friend named Bill got baptized and he became a member of the Lords true church because he felt the truthfulness of the words that were shared to him by my Dad and by the missionaries who taught him the gospel.
I invite you that as you feel that this message is true for yourself to be baptised. I know that the Lord will answer your prayers and that he will guide you through out your daily life through the power of the Holy Ghost if you do this.
