Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do. “Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Nephi wrote the following words centuries before the birth of Jesus Christ into mortality: You remember from the Book of Mormon that Nephi taught us that faith in Jesus Christ is the key to receiving revelations of truth and the key to having the confidence that we are following the Savior’s direction. 7 Revelation comes to us in proportion to the degree to which we have sought to take the doctrine of Christ into our hearts and implement it in our lives. This process of revelation is why you will hear speakers teach in this conference what is called the doctrine of Christ. That feeling of humility can be best described as “Not my will, but thine, be done.” 6 My personal experience is that the still, small voice-which is real-is clear and discernible in my mind when I feel an internal quiet and submission to the Lord’s will. If your faith in Jesus Christ has led to a heart softened through the effects of His Atonement, you will be more able to feel the whisperings of the Spirit in answer to your prayers. Yet even then, you may receive-as did Joseph Smith-the answer to be patient. If you need an answer that is important to your eternal welfare or that of others, the answer is more likely to come. I know from experience that answers will come to fit your needs and your spiritual preparation. 4 You will not have the opportunity to ask aloud for answers from the speakers, but you can ask your loving Father in prayer. You have at least enough faith to hope that you will receive answers from the Lord through His servants. You have questions for which you seek answers. Your experience can possibly be similar in this conference. The answer he received encouraged him to keep asking ever-better questions and to act on the continuing flow of revelation that had just begun. He wanted to know what church to join to be cleansed of sin. The teenage Joseph Smith had faith sufficient to ask a question of God, believing that God would answer his heartfelt need. It has been the same for all called servants of the Lord from the beginning to the present day. The way to receive revelation from God has not changed from the days of Adam and Eve. My earnest prayer is that you may receive revelation from God. If you have not yet sought for the ministering of the Holy Ghost to help you hear what the Lord would have you hear during these two days, I invite you to do so now.” 1 I have sought for that blessing as I have prepared to receive revelation for this visit with you. Nelson said that “pure revelation for the questions in your heart will make this conference rewarding and unforgettable.

In his introduction to the conference this morning, President Russell M. My beloved brothers and sisters, I am grateful for the opportunity to speak with you in this Saturday evening session of general conference.
