As a follow-up to what I blogged last week here, about my experience with following the Holy Ghost to cure me of my cold, I’m sharing this wonderful video below.

It came out on Latter-day Media’s YouTube channel just recently. I enjoyed it immensely! I watched it while I did some strength training exercises. The presenter, Alden Beaman, explains how to receive revelation from the Holy Ghost. I just love this quote from him, “The light of Christ will show you a direction, and the gift of the Holy Ghost gives you explanation.”

Then he goes on to say, “He [God] will not explain first…that would interfere with our agency.”

Brother Beaman shows how the Urim and Thummim relates to revelation that we can receive. The Urim and Thummim was an instrument that Joseph Smith used to translate the Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It’s also mentioned in the Bible three times: Exodus 28:30, 1 Samuel 28:6 (at least the Urim part), and Ezra 2:63.

Urim means “light” and thummim means “perfection.” Revelation is like the Urim and Thummim in that it involves light, the light of Christ, to show us a direction and then eventually as we follow it, we will receive more of the Holy Ghost to give us an explanation.

Below are some screenshots from the video. It’s all so good! I highly recommend you watch it as soon as you can.

I loved his story of following the Holy Spirit to find a new job when he was looking for a career change. If you want more stories of following the Holy Spirit, go here.
