“This Is the Spirit of Revelation”
As faithful children, youth, parents, teachers, and leaders, we may receive personal revelation more frequently than we realize. The more we receive and acknowledge personal revelation, the more our testimonies grow.
(Robert D. Hales, “Personal Revelation: The Teachings and Examples of the Prophets,” Ensign, Nov 2007, 86–89)
Since the apostasy included an apostasy of revelation, these sections are important to show us how revelation is to be received and how to recognize it. Joseph and Oliver, although not yet members of the Church, had been receiving revelation. “No one of us can survive in the world of today, much less in what it soon will become, without personal inspiration.” (Boyd K. Packer, CR Oct 1991, p. 29)
