THE HOLY GHOST -- The Holy Ghost doesn’t post visiting
hours. He is always 'in.’ His messages are not ambiguous. They are never followed by disclaimers: “It was
just an idea;” or “I was just
kidding.” The Lord said: “... Verily, I say unto you, that as surely
as the Lord liveth, who is your God ... I will tell you in your mind [thoughts] and in your heart [feelings] by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon
you and which shall dwell [Stick around] in your heart. (DC 8:1-2) The Holy Ghost is not a hit-and-run driver, but he won't stick around forever if ignored.
And
when we ask for guidance, we are not expected to present God with
multiple-choice questions. Rather, He has said: “… Study it out in your own
mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that
your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is
right. But if it be not right, ye shall
have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought which will cause
you to forget the thing which is wrong, ...” (DC 9: 8-9) Stupor of thought is not our first choice, but
it is, unmistakably, one form of personal revelation.
