The Strongest Witness

Truth. I have written about it in the past and today I learned a little more. Knowing the truth is important, but how do we know it? The answer is found in The Book of Mormon:

We find answers as Spirit testifies to us of truth. But that also means that we have to work for it. We must study, pray, ponder, and search. Also we must be willing to act. Then the Lord will send the Holy Ghost to you and He will witness to your spirit the truth. And that truth will carry you. There are two quotes that I recently found and love.

"You can receive a sure testimony of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ only by the power of the Holy Ghost. His communication to your spirit carries far more certainty than any communication you can receive through your natural senses."

True to the Faith

"The Holy Ghost bears witness of the truth and impresses upon the soul the reality of God the Father and the Son Jesus Christ so deeply that no earthly power or authority can separate him from that knowledge.”

-President James E. Faust

Both indicate that the knowledge brought to us from the Holy Ghost is the strongest witness. Nothing in this world can prove or convince you of truth as perfectly as the Spirit can. So go find your truth!

I Know this Bucket is True

Something I do often is testify of what I teach. But how do I know that what I say is true? How did I gain my testimony? Well there is a scripture from the Book of Mormon that has the answer. 

"And this is not all. Do ye not suppose that I know of these things myself? Behold, I testify unto you that I do know that these things whereof I have spoken are true. And how do ye suppose that I know of their surety?
Behold, I say unto you they are made known unto me by the Holy Spirit of God. Behold, I have fasted and prayed many days that I might know these things of myself. And now I do know of myself that they are true; for the Lord God hath made them manifest unto me by his Holy Spirit; and this is the spirit of revelation which is in me." (Alma 5:45-46) 

So I learned that what I teach is true by praying and asking God. He has all truth and knowledge. If we desire to know we must ask Him. So when I post about something and know that it is true, it is because I have asked my Heavenly Father and He has let me know through the Holy Ghost. The great thing is you can do this too. You don't have to automatically believe all I say or anyone else. Take it to the Lord and ask Him.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" 

(Matthew 7:7)
