Church Talk- Holy Spirit

Today I gave a church talk in my ward. The talk was about how the gospel has blessed my life and since I had limited time, I talked about the Holy Ghost and how that aspect of the gospel has blessed my life in so many ways.

Four areas I hit on were:
1) Recognizing the Holy Ghost and how we can do that (D&C 9)
2) Standing in Holy Places
3) Following the inspiration/ revelation
4) Expressing gratitude

All of these are so important as we have the gift of the Holy Ghost to be with us after we are baptized. We need to remain in areas where we can feel his spirit and when receiving revelation, we need to follow it. Expressing gratitude to God (whether prayer, writing the experiences down, or recognizing in some way) God blesses us more with further blessings and opportunities to feel the spirit.
