Inspiration (2/22/2010)

As baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ, we have been given the gift of the Holy Ghost. This unique gift allows us to receive inspiration in all that we do when we are living in accordance with the principles of the Gospel. This morning, I would like to share with you a quote from President Marion G. Romney of specific things we can do to have the Spirit with us.

"If you want to obtain and keep the guidance of the Spirit, you can do so by following this simple four-point program.

"One, pray. Pray diligently. Pray with each other. Pray in public in the proper places... Learn to talk to the Lord; call upon his name in great faith and confidence.

"Second, study and learn the gospel.

"Third, live righteously; repent of your sins by confessing them and forsaking them. Then conform to the teachings of the gospel.

"Fourth, give service in the Church...

"If you will do these things, you will get the guidance of the Holy Spirit and you will go through this world successfully, regardless of what the people of the world say or do."
