It's OUR Choice

Howdy Family and Friends!!!

This week was fabulous! I had my final zone conference and I just wanted to share a few insights from that. First off I have to say that I know God answers prayers. We can receive personal revelation today. I received so many answers at zone conference to the questions I was praying about! Seriously, all of zone conference was directed at me! Now, about zone conference.

President Weaver shared D&C 42:14 which states, " And the Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach." When he shared this, he talked about how it is our choice to have the Holy Ghost in our lives! The way we live can either invite, or push away the Spirit. So, this means we have to put some preparation into having the spirit with us. We have to receive the Holy Ghost. We have to make sure we are listening and ready to act on the promptings that come to us. We have to make sure we are standing in holy places. In life we are constantly doing things that keep the Spirit, but are we doing things that actively invite the Spirit? There is a difference. Out in the world there's a lot of good things to do. But, do they actively invite the Spirit into our lives? 

I would encourage y'all to decide today what you are going to do differently to actively invite the Spirit into your lives and into your homes. I know that as you make these small changes, you will feel the Spirit present and be in a place where you can truly receive the Holy Ghost. I did this same thing this week and have already seen a change in myself, and in the area I am in. I know that this gospel is true. The Spirit is real. He wants to help us. So, we can help us by receiving Him. I love my Heavenly Father. I love Jesus Christ. I know that the Godhead loves all of us. We are not alone! 

Love y'all!

Love,
