No Missionary Can Determine The Lasting Effects

As You Lose Your Life In The Service Of Father In Heaven's Children, Satan's Temptations Lose Power In Your Life.

I Am Convinced That There Is No Simple Formula Or Technique That I Could Give You Or That You Could Give Your Students That Would Immediately Facilitate Mastering The Ability To Be Guided By The Holy Spirit. Nor Do I Believe That The Lord Will Ever Allow Someone To Conceive A Pattern That Would Invariably And Immediately Open The Channels Of Spiritual Communication. We Grow When We Labor To Recognize The Guidance Of The Holy Ghost As We Struggle To Communicate Our Needs To Our Father In Heaven In Moments Of Dire Need Or Overflowing Gratitude.

When You Face Adversity . . . Don't' Ask: Why Does This Have To Happen To Me? Why Do I Have To Suffer This, Now? What Have I Done To Cause This? Rather Ask: What Am I To Do? What Am I To Learn From This Experience? What Am I To Change? Whom Am I To Help? How Can I Remember My Many Blessings In Times Of Trial?

Do You Young People Want A Sure Way To Eliminate The Influence Of The Adversary In Your Life? Immerse Yourself In Searching For Your Ancestors, Prepare Their Names For The Sacred Vicarious Ordinances Available In The Temple, And Then Go To The Temple To Stand As Proxy For Them To Receive The Ordinances Of Baptism And The Gift Of The Holy Ghost. As You Grow Older, You Will Be Able To Participate In Receiving The Other Ordinances As Well. I Can Think Of No Greater Protection From The Influence Of The Adversary In Your Life

Create An Atmosphere For The Spirit. The Spirit Must Be Present.
