Hear Him

The prophet has been emphasizing to us recently that we need to increase our spiritual capacity to receive personal revelation.  It is obviously something that is important for us to do in order to survive spiritually in these troubled last days.
"We also hear Him more clearly as we refine our ability to recognize the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. It has never been more imperative to know how the Spirit speaks to you than right now. In the Godhead, the Holy Ghost is the messenger. He will bring thoughts to your mind which the Father and Son want you to receive. He is the Comforter. He will bring a feeling of peace to your heart. He testifies of truth and will confirm what is true as you hear and read the word of the Lord. 
"I renew my plea for you to do whatever it takes to increase your spiritual capacity to receive personal revelation. 
"Doing so will help you know how to move ahead with your life, what to do during times of crisis, and how to discern and avoid the temptations and the deceptions of the adversary."  -- President Russell M. Nelson, "Hear Him", April 2020 General Conference
I love the promise in the last paragraph.  That we will know what to do in times of crisis.  And that we will be able to discern and avoid the temptations and the deceptions of Satan.  That's a pretty powerful promise, if we heed the Prophet's admonition.  "It has never been more imperative to know how the Spirit speaks you than right now."

Let us all heed President Nelson's counsel and do whatever it takes to increase our spiritual capacity to receive personal revelation.

That's my two cents.
