David A. Bednar - 5 Principles of Revelation: An Evening with a General Authority - February 2020


Listen Later

This is a long episode (listen to it at 1.5 speed) but it is filled with so many wonderful principles.  Elder Bednar begins by outlining five principles (not a pattern) of revelation.  First, we are given the gift of the Holy Ghost "that it may be with us always", not only in certain moments.  We often act as if revelation is a big event that we must prepare for and that comes infrequently.  However, if we are striving to be worthy, the Spirit will be our constant companion.  Second, sometimes we think promptings from the Spirit should be a big, loud event, but the Spirit is most often still and small and the revelation we receive is incremental and builds upon itself over time.  Third, you do not need to recognize revelation in the moment you receive it.  We often, like Nephi, will see revelation in action after the fact rather than in the moment.  Fourth, revelation is not only about what to do, it's also about when to do.  This also ties into the principle that revelation is incremental and will build over time so that we will know what to do when the moment to do it comes.  Fifth, revelation is more readily recognized when you are in the place and with the people for whom you are seeking revelation.  There is also a great question and answer session about revelation and some excellent tips about teaching others.  As you listen to the talk answer this question:  what are you hearing that has not been said?
