Receiving Revelation: Power of the Holy Spirit



The Spirit is felt so strong in this video. I have been really struggling to know the answers to some of these big decisions, but I know that Heavenly Father wants the best for me. He knows who I am, what I'm going through, and why I need to endure through these trials. He knows that I these trials will bring me closer to Him.

There are a lot of things to figure out at this point: where to live, who to hang out with, who to date, where to stay over the summer, where to work, whom to fall in love with, what college should I go to, what career should I head into. It has been overwhelming, and so I have responded with apathy.

But, reading the scriptures today about Captain Moroni really helped me. Captain Moroni was placed in charge of all of the armies of the Nephites in the Book of Mormon. He was 25 years old (so for any of those men who feel "old" at 24, imagine being appointed as General or President or Defense secretary right now). He knew who he was. He relied on the Lord in all his doings. He never once trusted in his own strength, but the strength of the Lord. Because of this, his faith, and his obedience, he was able to motivate the people to defend their lands, liberty, and families from the Lamanites. Thank you Captain Moroni for you example to us in the Latter-Days.
