The Gift of the Holy Ghost

The Gift of the Holy Ghost is one of the greatest gifts that we've been given.  Somtimes we don't recognize how important he is. As i was reading a talk given in an Ensign, it talked about the difference of the Power of the Holy Ghost and the Gift of the Holy Ghost. The Power of the Holy Ghost can come upon a man before Baptism. He can't be with them constantly but can guide them in where they need to go. Kind of like lightning in the middle of the night. There will be a few flashes in which you could reach your destination. They who have Faith in Jesus Christ, Repent, and are Baptized will recieve the Gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. The Gift of the Holy Ghost can be as like a flashlight. When we recieve him we can carry that flashlight around with us and constantly move to where we need to go.
John 16:7-Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

  1. Good work Elder Merrell, it is such a blessing to be able to have the Holy Ghost to always be with us. The world today is full of things and places that we need that constant light, not just a flash.
