Lesson Review: Seek Spiritual Strength by Following the
Promptings of the Holy Ghost
One of the tenants of our Relief Society
Declaration states:
We
are beloved spirit daughters of God, and our lives have meaning, purpose and
direction. As a worldwide sisterhood, we are united in our devotion
to Jesus Christ, our Savior and Exemplar. We are women of faith,
virtue, vision and charity who…seek spiritual strength by following the
promptings of the Holy Ghost.
President Gordon B. Hinckley said, “The
Holy Ghost is the Testifier of Truth, who can teach men things they cannot
teach one another…. “by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of
all things,” (Moroni 10:4-5)
Who is the Holy Ghost?
The Holy Ghost is the third member of
the Godhead and, as the name implies, a personage of spirit, not possessing a
body of flesh and bones.
What are some of the names he goes
by?
- Holy
Ghost
- Still
small voice
(Neal
A. Maxwell: God does not send thunder if a still, small voice is
enough)
- Spirit
of the Lord
- Holy
Spirit
- Sign
of the Dove
- Holy
Spirit of Promise
- Comforter
What is his role in the Godhead?
- Comforter/peace
- Guide
- Teacher
- Revelator/witness/testifier
- Warning
bell
- Sanctifier/Cleanser
- Enables
the discernment of right and wrong
- Key
to all spiritual gifts
Question to ponder: What
experiences have you had of the promptings of the Holy Ghost in each aspect of
his role?
How do we seek the spirit?
Hartman Rector, Jr., said, “The Lord’s
formula for receiving the Spirit is to get on our knees and communicate with
him. Tell him what we are going to do – make commitments with him –
outline our program – and then get up off our knees and go and do precisely
what we have told him we would do. In the doing, the Spirit comes.”
Bruce R. McConkie said:
- Search the Scriptures.
- Keep the Commandments.
- Ask in Faith.
Any
person who will do this will get his heart so in tune with the infinite that
there will come into his being, from the “still small voice,” the eternal
realities of religion. And as he progresses and advances and comes
nearer to God, there will be a day when he will entertain angels, when he will
see visions, and the final end is to view the face of God.”
