“The Spirit is a voice that one feels more than hears.”

“Perhaps the single greatest thing I learned from reading the Book of Mormon is that the voice of the Spirit comes as a feeling rather than a sound. You will learn, as I have learned, to “listen” for that voice that is felt rather than heard.”

“Those who choose, conduct, present, and accompany the music may influence the spirit of reverence ... more than a speaker does.”

“The study of doctrine and the teaching of doctrine will change behavior more than the study of behavior will change behavior.”

“You have your agency, and inspiration does not—perhaps cannot—flow unless you ask for it, or someone asks for you. No message in scripture is repeated more often than the invitation, even the command, to pray—to ask.”

“The flow of revelation depends on your faith.As you test gospel principles by believingwithout knowing, the Spirit will begin to teachyou. Gradually your faith will be replaced with knowledge.”

“The Restoration began with the prayer of a 14-year-old boy and a vision of the Father and the Son. The dispensation of the fulness of times was ushered in."The Restoration of the gospel brought knowledge of the premortal existence. From the scriptures, we know of the Council in Heaven and the decision to send the sons and daughters of God into mortality to receive a body and to be tested (see D&C 138:56; see also Romans 8:16). We are children of God. We have a spirit body housed, for now, in an earthly tabernacle of flesh. The scriptures say, 'Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?' (1 Corinthians 3:16).”
