I believe in this super cool thing called "The Word of God".

Maybe you've heard of it.  Maybe not.  That's okay.  If you haven't, can I introduce you to it?

If your answer was "yes", then keep reading.

I've been learning so much about it!  And I'm super excited to share this with you!  

I've been learning that it can be broken down into three parts that work together.

1. The Scriptures.

The scriptures are the written words of the prophets God has called in the past to tell the people of Him and His will.

2. The words of living/modern day prophets

These are the words of the prophets that have been called by God in this day and age to guide us and lead us, through the restored authority of the Priesthood.

3. Personal Revelation

Now, this one is cool.  This one specifically is the one I've been learning a bunch about.  I don't have a lot of time to write right now though, so I won't go into huge detail.

Basically, this is direct information into your mind that God gives to you about your life.  Can you believe that?!  I do.  It's something I'm striving for in my days, hours, minutes, and small moments.  Through this, I've learned that God really does care about us personally.  Since I've decided to serve Him and His children, everything is clearer.  My purpose, my drive, just everything!  Everything that I need is given to me for me to accomplish my mission.  Whether that be directions on how and what to do, something I can't do myself, or opportunities to act on what I want and believe in.

Here's another thing I've been learning about it:  There should never be a circumstance any of these three parts of The Word of God conflict.

If you find you have received a prompting or bit of inspiration that conflicts with either of the first two, you can know for a fact that it can be abandoned immediately as incorrect.

This is for many, many reasons.  One is so The Word of God has checks and balances.  A way to know exactly where your thoughts and "inspiration" are coming from.

Yup.  I love learning about the Gospel.  It's a blast.  My mind gets blown on a daily basis.  I recommend you look into it, you cool kat.

All de loves.
