Holy Ghost
"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sends forth to you an earnest appeal. Open your doors to the missionaries. Open your minds to the words of God. Open your hearts, even your very souls, to the sound of that still, small voice which testifies of truth."
—Thomas S. Monson, "The Way Home"
Topics: Missionary Work, Holy Ghost, Prophetic Messages"Give your students the opportunity for a spiritual experience in every way you can. That is what the New Testament is trying to do for you. That is the message of the Gospels. It is the message of the book of Acts. It is the message of all scripture. Those spiritual experiences recorded in those sacred writings will help keep others on track and in the Church in our day, just as such experiences did for those members in New Testament times."
—Jeffrey R. Holland, "Teaching, Preaching, Healing"
Topics: Teaching, Holy Ghost"If you have felt the influence of the Holy Ghost today, you may take it as evidence that the Atonement is working in your life. For that reason and many others, you would do well to put yourself in places and in tasks that invite the promptings of the Holy Ghost."
—Henry B. Eyring, "Gifts of the Spirit for Hard Times"
Topics: Atonement, Holy Ghost"A testimony is spiritual knowledge of truth obtained by the power of the Holy Ghost. Continuing conversion is constant devotion to the revealed truth we have received—with a heart that is willing and for righteous reasons."
—David A. Bednar, "Converted unto the Lord", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
Topics: Testimony, Faith, Holy Ghost"Knowing that the gospel is true is the essence of a testimony. Consistently being true to the gospel is the essence of conversion. We should know the gospel is true and be true to the gospel."
—David A. Bednar, "Converted unto the Lord", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
Topics: Testimony, Faith, Holy Ghost"The Lord’s purposes are often accomplished as we pay heed to the guidance of the Spirit. I believe that the more we act upon the inspiration and impressions which come to us, the more the Lord will entrust to us His errands."
—Thomas S. Monson, "Consider the Blessings", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
Topics: Holy Ghost, Personal Revelation"One reason we are encouraged to pray and read the scriptures every single day is that both of these activities invite the Spirit into our homes and into the lives of our family members."
—Vicki F. Matsumori, "Helping Others Recognize the Whisperings of the Spirit", Liahona and Ensign, November 2009

—Boyd K. Packer, "Prayer and Promptings", Liahona and Ensign, November 2009
Topics: Holy Ghost, Promptings, Guidance"It is no ordinary blessing to live in these latter days. These are glorious times, foreseen by ancient prophets and attended by watchful, angelic hosts. The Lord is mindful of His Church. He is also mindful of those who... follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost and join with their brothers and sisters the world over in helping to bring forth this great work of God."
—Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "A Great Work of God", Liahona and Ensign, April 2010
Topics: Latter Days, Holy Ghost"Sometimes the Lord reveals truth to you when you are not actively seeking it, such as when you are in danger and do not know it. However, the Lord will not force you to learn. You must exercise your agency to authorize the Spirit to teach you. As you make this practice in your life, you will be more perceptive to the feelings that come with spiritual guidance."
—Richard G. Scott, "To Acquire Spiritual Guidance", Liahona and Ensign, November 2009
