Who Gets Spiritual Gifts?

Last updated on: October 31, 2019 at 7:39 am By Delisa Hargrove

The Lord lists spiritual gifts throughout the scriptures and specifically teaches about spiritual gifts, listing gifts like faith, healing, and prophecy. See, for example, this partial list of spiritual gifts from Doctrine and Covenants 46. To another is given the word of knowledge, that all may be taught to be wise and to have knowledge. And again, to some it is given to have faith to be healed; And to others it is given to have faith to heal. And again, to some is... Read more

Have You Ever Asked God for Gifts?

Last updated on: October 27, 2019 at 7:55 pm By Delisa Hargrove

The Lord promises spiritual and temporal gifts to His children. Gifts like life and breath and Earth and diversity and autonomic body functions and resurrection are gifts He freely gives. He also promised that everyone received at least one spiritual gift from Him. “…to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God.” Many additional gifts are available, conditional on our asking God for them. The object of prayer is not to change the will of God but... Read more

Finding Joy in Fasting

Last updated on: August 13, 2019 at 6:35 pm By Delisa Hargrove

May Wheeler shares her heartfelt reflections on fasting and Fast Sunday. How could she find more joy in fasting? *** Fasting is a law that the Lord has restored in the latter days. In obedience to this law, we, as a church, once each month, fast on the first Sunday. We are instructed that a proper fast day observance includes abstaining from food and drink for two consecutive meals. Sounds easy enough right? So then I’m left to... Read more

Theodore Turley Returns to England and Preaches the Gospel to His Family

Last updated on: July 16, 2019 at 12:59 pm By Delisa Hargrove

“After an adventurous journey, Elders Wilford Woodruff, John Taylor, and Theodore Turley arrived in Liverpool, England, Jan. 11, 1840.” Theodore Turley met with the other brethren and determined areas to labor. Theodore was born in Birmingham and had lived most of his life in that area. 15 years prior to his return as a missionary, he moved to Canada. He kept a great journal of logistics mingled with emotion. He longed for his family to join him in his faith.... Read more

God Speaks Through Visions in the Book of Acts and in the Latter Days

Last updated on: July 18, 2019 at 8:05 am By Delisa Hargrove

The Book of Acts testifies that God speaks and one way He speaks to us is through visions. These visions served specific revelatory purpose. In Acts 7, as he was being stoned to death, Stephen beheld the Father and the Son in vision. In Acts 9, Saul saw the Lord in vision and commanded him to stop persecuting the Church and to wait for further instructions. The Lord appeared to Ananias commanding him to heal and teach Saul. In Acts... Read more

Acts 7: Re-Moved and Outs

Last updated on: July 9, 2019 at 8:12 pm By Delisa Hargrove

Continuing personal study from Acts 6, because Acts 7 begins right in the middle of the story of Stephen’s illegal trial! All the elders and scribes have seen Stephen’s glowing, angelic face and couldn’t resist his words. They also brought witnesses to testify what Stephen supposedly said. And that’s where Acts 7 begins—with the high priest asking if the false witness testimony was true. All the references to Greek definitions are from Bible Hub. Acts 7 1 Then said the high...

Last updated on: July 9, 2019 at 1:25 pm By Delisa Hargrove

A friend told me she struggles with reading the scriptures because the words all blend together. She doesn’t know how to bring the scriptures alive for her. Bringing the scriptures alive can mean something different to each person. The best way for scriptures to come alive, of course, is to pray and ask the Lord for the Holy Ghost’s guidance and instructions. But I told her I’d share the way it comes alive for me as I study and what... Read more
