Spirit
“To the young members of
the Church, I promise that
if you will listen, you will
feel the Spirit well up
within you. The Lord will
tell you what He wants you
to do with your life.”
– Elder Robert D. Hales
General Conference
As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we watch or listen to
General Conference every April. It’s an important time for us to hear the words of the
Lord which lift our hearts and strengthen our faith. Last conference in October of 2013,
Elder Robert D. Hales gave on talk on the subject of General Conference. He taught
about the importance of attending, watching, or listening to conference and the blessings that we can receive when we do. A few of his reminders were:
Pray to hear the Lord’s message for you during conference talks
1 Gather together to listen to conference, putting aside the things of the world
2 Return to our homes and live what we learned
3 Regularly study the messages afterwards and apply them to your life
4
Elder Hales promised that when we do this, the Lord will speak to us through the Holy
Ghost to guide us and strengthen us. He said, “Oh, how we need general conference!
Through conferences our faith is fortified and our testimonies deepened.”
So how
will you prepare to listen to the Lord’s message this conference?
