Be with People with Whom the Spirit Can Easily Dwell

 

Promptings of the Spirit

By Elder Gary E. Stevenson

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

What are the fruits of exercising spiritual gifts? They include promptings from the Spirit that help us face our daily needs and show us what to do and say and blessings of peace and comfort. As we listen and act on spiritual promptings, the Holy Ghost magnifies our abilities and capacities to far exceed what we can do on our own. These precious spiritual gifts will help us in every aspect of our lives.⁴

The constant companionship of the Holy Ghost is one of the greatest spiritual gifts Latter-day Saints enjoy....

If you hope to feel the Spirit, be with people with whom the Spirit can easily dwell....

Choose to be with people and go to places where righteousness is found. Find your strength in numbers. Find good friends. Be good friends. Support one another wherever you are. Stand with holy people.

Third, testify of holy truths as often as you can. The Comforter always shares His voice when we testify with our voice. The Spirit bears witness to the speaker and listener alike....

As you seek and take opportunities to share your testimony with others, you will create moments to recognize the Spirit for yourself.
