Become
In the conference talk, Pres. Nelson said:
The adversary is clever. For millennia he has been making good look evil and evil look good. His messages tend to be loud, bold, and boastful…However, messages from our Heavenly Father are strikingly different. He communicates simply, quietly, and with such stunning plainness that we cannot misunderstand Him…I renew my plea for you to do whatever it takes to increase your spiritual capacity to receive personal revelation…Doing so will help you know how to move ahead with your life, what to do during times of crisis, and how to discern and avoid the temptations and the deceptions of the adversary.
After what you’ve learned this week, what can you do to hear the Spirit better? Write a goal in your journal and work on it this week.
