TEACHING BY THE SPIRIT

Personal preparation and worthiness are necessary to teach by the spirit

Alma 5:46

• "The Lord will bless prepared and worthy missionaries with His spirit." The first sentence says it all.
• Some ways we can prepare ourselves for things, whether it be a mission or anything else, are by fasting and praying. Fast and prayer can help us find answers and manifestations of the truth. And answers will help us grow and be better prepared.

Moroni 10:4-5

• By the power of the Holy Ghost you will know the truth of all things.
  
• "If you prepare spiritually, the Holy Ghost will help you know what to do and say in your teaching." This is such a great comfort to me. I don't know about anyone else, but I am terrified to teach the gospel. I am soo excited to, but at the same time terrified. What if I say the wrong thing or cause the investigator to understand incorrectly and then he stops believing. Because of me. Well I know that by the power of the Holy Ghost I can say what needs to be said, and the listener will understand how he needs to understand. I am not speaking the spirit is speaking. I hope I can be prepared and worthy enough for that.
