In today's episode I talk about an experience that I had with CO or Carbon Monoxide and promptings of the Spirit.
Also, as a heads up, I was called to be the bishop of our ward here in Port Angeles a couple weeks ago and funny enough, I have not had much free time since then. I just want to let the Rocky Mountain Sunshine Podcast listeners know that I may not be able to keep up a weekly podcast. I’ll keep trying to put out episodes, but if you see that I go a week or two or more without publishing anything, just smile and know that I’m serving in my calling and spending time with my family. I really love doing this podcast, but it turns out I need sleep. So I’m limited to the time available during the week and I want to spend some time with my family, keeping what’s most important my top priority.
- President Boyd K. Packer said, “We do not have the words—even the scriptures do not have the words—which perfectly describe the Spirit. The scriptures usually use the word voice. That does not exactly fit—it does, but it doesn’t. These very delicate, fine spiritual communications are not seen with our eyes nor heard with our ears; it is a voice that one feels more than hears.”
- President Packer also taught: “Inspiration comes more easily in peaceful settings.
- The Savior said in D&C 50:24, “He that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day”
- The Spirit communicates with people in different ways.
- In Section 6 of the Doctrine and Covenants talk about how it can enlighten your mind or speak peace to your mind.
- For me, often I get nudges or promptings. I can’t say that I’ve always followed them. But I’m glad when I do.
- As a newly called bishop, already I have had promptings as the Spirit has been directing me. Something that happened recently, which has never happened before in my life, As I was praying in the morning a specific name came to me from our ward, and I was told by the Spirit to pray for this person. That was a first. I hope to be able to be in tune with the Spirit to continue to be guided like that.
- The story I wanted to share today frightens me when I think back to it.
- Tune in for the rest of the story!
