Helping Others Recognize the Spirit

There are 3 ways to help others recognize the whispering of the Holy Ghost.
1. Understanding the doctrine for example through the scriptures, there are many different ways on receiving the Spirit.
2. Sharing personal testimony of the influence of the Spirit.
3. Providing an environment where the Spirit can be felt daily in our homes. We also need to have quiet moments in our lives, so that the Spirit can reach us and learn to live the gospel each day.
We must do things in our lives so that so that the Holy Ghost may be present. We must keep ourselves clean to be able to have the Spirit with us. We need to learn to exercise our faith in the Lord, to recognize the voice of the Spirit. Sometimes we hear the voice of the Spirit by answers of prayer. This is spiritual revelation. when we receive spiritual promptings we must act on those promptings. "Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you"(D&C 88:63)  There are many things that the Holy Ghost can do for us such as bring comfort, peace, knowledge, joy and also warn us for safety. We need to also make sure we are listening to the Spirit. "Neither take ye thought beforehand what ye shall say; but treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man."(D&C 84:85) Once we have the Spirit with us, we must do the things to keep the Spirit with us. The Spirit helps us to get back on track, no matter how far off track we are. We need to do all we can do to make sure the Spirit is with us. The Lord is in charge. We all face adversity. The Holy Ghost can become our constant companion. let us have a partnership with the Holy Ghost. What an important aspect that is in our lives.
