Your Spiritual Sword

How do we know when the Holy Ghost is speaking to us? Learning the language of the spirit is like learning a language and it needs to be learned/practiced - give yourself enough opportunities to have the spirit with you to learn how to feel the spirit whether it be when you study the scriptures, pray, etc. Practice - are you getting repeated messages, 2 Tim 1:7 not a spirit of fear, vs. D&C 9 stupor of thought, involve the Lord in the process, he will not send doubt, fear, in the last minute. Trust your feelings along the way- I will move forward unless I get a no (don't stop moving). The Lord trusts us and loves us enough to let us make our own choices. One part of armor that is offensive, not defensive - keep the spirit with you always.
