We learn to teach "By study and also by faith," Part 2

BEARING TESTIMONY INVITES THE SPIRIT INTO OUR TEACHING

D&C 100:5-8

  • Like it says in the manuel, sharing your testimony often is one of the most powerful ways of inviting the Spirit and helping others feel the Spirit.
  • Don't be afraid to share your testimony. The Spirit will guide you.
  • I used to be terrified of sharing my testimony. I knew I had one, but I didn't think I would be able to put it in words. I have a hard time saying what I feel or what is in my mind and thoughts. But I know that if I share with the Spirit those thoughts and feelings will come out as needed to help others in the way needed.
  • I love this scripture so much. I have no fear when I think of what this scripture says. I especially like the part that says if you speak the thoughts He puts in your heart, "you shall not be confounded before men." And that after you say what you say and are not confounded "the Holy Ghost shall be shed forth in bearing record unto all things whatsoever ye shall say."
2 Nephi 33:1
  • Not only will you not be confounded before men but the Holy Host will carry what you say "unto the hearts lof the children of men."
  • So where can you go wrong?
  • Fear not, go forth and teach His gospel. Let the spirit guide you. Share your testimony, share the spirit.
