I discovered a bunch of talks on the iPod the other day, to I listened to two by Elder Bruce R McConkie during some down time. He talked about how we as members of the church are entitled to receive personal revelation and become prophets for ourselves and for those whom we have jurisdiction over. He specifically talked about the ability to dream dreams, see visions, speak with angels, and view the face of God. He said all we have to do is study the word, be obedient, and ask in faith and we could receive all of these things. He quoted Joseph Smith and said that 5 minutes gazing into heaven will teach you more than you could ever find out by reading about it. He also said that if we receive these things, we'll be able to declare things that we know with our spirits, not just our intellect. There was also a whole lot about the superiority of the spiritual over the intellectual.
I'm going to put that to the test. See how it works out. I think it's called "Seeking Personal Revelation" or something and was given at BYU during the days of David O Mckay. Thought it was interesting. Wanted to share it.Love ya'll!-Elder Decker (Brayden)
