Communicating with the Holy Ghost
This week was neat to read through Jacob, Enos, Jarom and Omni with Ethan. I think it was definitely inspired by our Heavenly Father to have multiple people keeping a record to one day become the Book of Mormon because we can learn so many unique things from each person writing. I loved in Jarom 1:4 when he says, "And as many as are not stiff-necked and have faith, have communion with the Holy Spirit, which maketh manifest unto the children of men, according to their faith". This scripture left me to ponder on how we can communicate with the Holy Ghost... or I guess How we can communicate with our Heavenly Father and Savior through the Holy Ghost as well?? This verse gives us the answers! We need to have faith. And not just any kind of faith, but faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ. Then, we need to unstiffen our necks. What does that mean?! I think Jarom was helping us to understand that we need to let go of our pride, humble ourselves and be willing to listen and actually ACT on the things that the Holy Ghost is trying to communicate to us. I know that as we have faith and learn to be humble that Heavenly Father will be able to show and tell us things through the Holy Ghost that we didn't know before in order to help us become who He needs us to be. But, it is up to us to CHOOSE to let the Holy Ghost INTO our hearts. He can come UNTO our hearts but once He is there then we need to open up and let him in.
