Strengthened by the Power of the Holy Ghost
"Make up your minds to live humbly and in such a way that
you will always have the Spirit of the Lord to be your Friend."
Lorenzo Snow
We are dependent upon the Holy Ghost to aid us, and show
us what is neccessary in peculiar circumstances. We must live in such a
way that the power is available in our lives.
Through the gift of the Holy Ghost, we are led to all
truth and strengthened in our faith. The Savior said those who receive
the gift of the Holy Ghost could be shown the truth of all things. It
should be more than that spirit filling the immensity of space; it
should lead us to all truth, and show us things to come. It is a
different principle from anything that we see manifested in the
sectarian world. It is a principle of intelligence and revelation
received through obedience to the requirements of the gospel.
Every Latter-day Saint can have the Holy Ghost as a
friend to give counsel. It can bring us happiness and peace of mind.
We should understand the voice and whisperings of the Holy Spirit. The
blessings of the Holy Ghost can save lives and provided peace during
times of trial if we live the gospel in such a way that we feel approved
of God. Repentance allows us to live without condemnation, so we can
enjoy peace and happiness in this world.
We need the assistance of the Holy Ghost as we endure trials, fulfill our duties, and prepare for celestial glory.
