Chapter 3

Principles of Zion, Part III

Revelation, the Holy Ghost, and Spiritual Gifts

Revelation of God is the foundation of truth. It is without limits.

Revelation can overcome everything (JRE Link, 2014-1114 (Fri), WSE-MAIN).

Revelation takes precedence over conventional wisdom (JRE Link, 2017-0209 (Thu), COM-STR2).

Revelation is king. The kings of this world are nothing (JRE Link, 2016-1206 (Tue), WSE-MAIN).

The kingdom of heaven is opened through revelation, allowing the Church to prosper like
never before.

The upper library of heaven—more revelations of God for the people of the earth to
enjoy.

If one revelation from God can be received, then why not two? If two, then why not
three? If three, why not five, ten, or many? If many, then why not many on a daily basis?

Daily revelation provides the foundation for bringing to pass miracles of great
significance in the world.

Daily revelation creates momentum in the gospel and a new excitement for the future. A
chance to reveal things in the Church across the board (JRE Link, 2017-0328 (Tue), COM-STR2).

Daily revelation removes all doubt, establishing both the existence of God and the nature
of God once and for all before the world (JRE Link, 2017-0309 (Thu), COM-STR2).

Daily revelation creates an ongoing, continuous improvement process by which mistakes
of the past can be fixed.

Any old or new controversies in the public eye can be overcome by the Church through
new revelation (JRE Link, 2017-0328 (Tue), COM-STR2).

New revelation perfects the Church more and more––the members, the leaders, the
scriptures, and the doctrine (JRE Link, 2019-0411 (Thu), COM-STR2).

Perfection and completeness in a revelation is not needed in order for it to be revelation.
An existing revelation can be improved upon by a subsequent revelation.

Revelation of God is truth. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is
overflowing with the truth of God and the greatest principles of happiness for mankind.

Break the mold of the standard works. Set new precedents. Make this wonderful Church
of the Lord more beautiful and glorious than ever before (JRE Link, 2017-0516 (Tue), COM-STR2).

Lift the world with new revelation. Bring miracles to bear upon world problems.

Use the spirit of prophecy to save souls and save lives (JRE Link, 2017-0428 (Fri), COM-STR2).

Charity––the pure love of Christ––and the law of consecration are the foundation of
revelation and the foundation of Zion.

Through charity comes the Holy Ghost (JRE Link, 2017-0104 (Wed), COM-STR2).

Bring the love of God into the world from within yourself. This is charity (JRE Link, 2017-0121 (Sat), COM-STR2).

Bring truth into the world from within yourself. This is the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Ghost speaks volumes (JRE Link, 2017-0310 (Fri), COM-STR2).

The peace of the Holy Ghost confirms (JRE Link, 2017-0123 (Mon), WSE-MAIN).

If you are filled with charity, the truth of God will be your guide, and the greatest
blessings of heaven and earth will be bestowed upon you.

The words of God are endless. Revelation of God is endless (JRE Link, 2017-0120 (Fri), COM-STR2).

A revelation night, a holy night––inspired dreams of God and the visions of heaven are
there waiting for us every night when we go to sleep.

There is no need to sleep anymore. The conversations with the Spirit can go on all night
long (JRE Link, 2017-0612 (Mon), COM-STR2).

This is so amazing! It just goes on and on––limitless words of the Spirit every night (JRE Link, 2017-0428 (Fri), COM-STR2).

You'll rest for good one day. In the meantime, nights are for revelation (JRE Link, 2018-1212 (Wed), WSE-MAIN).

A beautiful prayer at bedside can lead to a beautiful dream in the nighttime (JRE Link, 2018-0705 (Thu), COM-STR2).

Rest with the Spirit. Dream with the Spirit (JRE Link, 2018-0803 (Fri), COM-STR2).

The truth is manifest when our eyes are closed and we can dream the night away.

Dream and the Holy Ghost will share with you beautiful bedtime stories from God (JRE Link, 2017-0625 (Sun), COM-STR2).

You know a dream is of God if you hear the Spirit whisper in confirmation to you right
after you awake. In other words, two spiritual gifts are bestowed upon you in combination, the
one bearing testimony of the other (JRE Link, 2018-0130 (Tue), COM-STR2).

Another combination of spiritual gifts occurs when you are awake. A short vision passes
through your mind and the Spirit whispers to you in confirmation. The words spoken by the
Spirit may come before, during, or immediately after the vision. The vision itself may be but for
a brief moment, a few seconds, or continue on for a few or several minutes (JRE Link, 2019-0727 (Sat), COM-STR2).

Good morning. This is the Lord.

The Spirit taught me some very important concepts in the early morning as I lay in bed (JRE Link, 2017-0614 (Wed), COM-STR2).

Revelation of God is always something good. A wonderful surprise to wake up to. Every
morning is exciting (JRE Link, 2017-0413 (Thu), COM-STR2).

Revelation lifts people up and brings them greater joy. (JRE Link, 2017-0411 (Tue), COM-STR2)

Revelation changes everything. Things in your life will be different (JRE Link, 2017-0615 (Thu), COM-STR2).

Revelation is a constant source of new knowledge. It expands your mind. It gives you
greater intelligence. It helps you develop a more perfect soul.

To receive revelation, cleanse your heart, clear your mind to be as a blank slate, and wait
for that which is to come. The Lord will initiate the communication. The Holy Ghost will fill
your mind with knowledge and your heart with peace (JRE Link, 2017-0330 (Thu), COM-STR2).

The revelation process is loved-based as well as being faith-based. Feel love in your heart
towards your Heavenly Father as you pray. That streamlines the process (JRE Link, 2018-1120 (Tue), COM-STR2).

In difficult or more complex matters, when there are competing points of view, or when
there are competing principles of the gospel involved, the Holy Ghost breaks the tie.

I'll see what the Lord can tell me on this important problem I am facing.

Receive revelation from God with graciousness and humility.

Each communication from the Spirit is important, leading you forward, line upon line, to
greater light and knowledge.

One revelation, two revelations, three revelations... your faith is growing. A certainty is
on the way (JRE Link, 2018-1111 (Sun), COM-STR2).

You got your first revelation from God. Now keep going.

Stay tuned. The Spirit is always broadcasting (JRE Link, 2018-0709 (Mon), COM-STR2).

I asked myself and the Spirit answered me (JRE Link, 2019-0626 (Wed), WSE-MAIN).

"I think. You think," says the Spirit. "Let's think together, the two of us, to solve this
problem you are facing"

The Spirit of God is a mind reader, aware of what everyone is thinking and doing. He can
be relied upon for all questions and concerns that you have.

The Spirit will give you the most accurate picture of what is true, and what is important
in your life. A few spoken words will be enough to get you going, to put you on the right track,
then you look forward for many more to come.

Revelation through the Spirit—Here it comes in the middle of the night. Be ready.

Tonight's conversation—What will it be? What new things will the Spirit have to share
with you?

Tonight alone, you could have a hundred whisperings of the Spirit.

Night after night, revelation continues (JRE Link, 2019-0326 (Tue), COM-STR2).

I had another dream in confirmation of the first one (JRE Link, 2018-0522 (Tue), WSE-MAIN).

Lord, I hope this is not the last revelation. I would love to continue receiving these great
spiritual blessings from Thee on a daily basis, even up to the perfect day (JRE Link, 2018-0526 (Sat), COM-STR2).

The words spoken by the Spirit are not arbitrary. They have a meaning and a purpose.
Making the correct interpretation is part of the revelation process (JRE Link, 2017-0608 (Thu), COM-STR2).

Let's improve the personal revelation capability of the average priesthood holder (JRE Link, 2018-1218 (Tue), COM-STR2).

Put the recording of personal revelation in your journal at the forefront of your daily
tasks (JRE Link, 2018-1107 (Wed), COM-STR2).

The sayings of the Spirit are worth waiting for. They will be priceless to you (JRE Link, 2019-0103 (Thu), COM-STR2).

The heavens have spoken. I am so overcome with love, happiness... everything!

Don't make revelation more complicated than it needs to be. Keep the gospel simple and
keep your approach to receiving revelation simple.

You lay awake at night. Is it nothing, or is it revelation that you hear? (JRE Link, 2019-0511 (Sat), WSE-MAIN)

Understand the difference between revelation and no revelation.

I feel empty. I have no feeling inside me yet, but I'll keep hoping and praying for an
answer from God.

I am filled with the Holy Spirit and hear the still, small voice. I am a witness of God. I
know that He lives.

The Holy Ghost writes truth into our hearts. Truth is joy... I AM (JRE Link, 2017-0225 (Sat), WSE-MAIN).

There is Holy Ghost in your joy (JRE Link, 2020-1030 (Fri), WSE-MAIN).

The Holy Ghost happens, happying you in a holy friendship (JRE Link, 2023-0329 (Wed), WSE-MAIN).

The Holy Ghost speaks beautiful words, leading us to ponder the gospel more fully (JRE Link, 2017-0521 (Sun), COM-STR2).

The Holy Ghost is an excellent ghostwriter.

There is no reason to fear revelation of God. Truth is truth and revelation is revelation (JRE Link, 2017-0328 (Tue), COM-STR2).

Revelation edifies. Truth edifies. These words edify (JRE Link, 2017-0328 (Tue), COM-STR2).

It's so wonderful! Revelation of God is a delight to read (JRE Link, 2018-0319 (Mon), WSE-MAIN).

No man can write all the words of God. The untold books of God in heaven surpass
man's understanding.

Revelation is a godsend (JRE Link, 2018-0523 (Wed), WSE-MAIN).

Revelation is one of life's great rewards (JRE Link, 2018-0624 (Sun), COM-STR2).

Revelation challenges the status quo in your life (JRE Link, 2018-0626 (Tue), COM-STR2).

Revelation is a ladder to success and a factory of new ideas (JRE Link, 2017-0823 (Wed), COM-STR2).

Revelation provides a more complete picture of the world around us (JRE Link, 2018-0525 (Fri), COM-STR2).

Through revelation, your mind becomes a sea of knowledge.

Through revelation, you can explore the cosmos. There is no limit to what you might see.
There is no limit to what knowledge you can obtain (JRE Link, 2017-0313 (Mon), COM-STR2).

Go up-stars to heaven (JRE Link, 2023-0708 (Sat), WSE-MAIN).

Look upward for inspiration and enlightenment. Drink deeply in what the heavens reveal.

A vision of the celestial kingdom is in the eye of the beholder (JRE Link, 2016-1208 (Thu), WSE-MAIN).

Dream of seeing the rich and vibrant colors of the celestial kingdom, and let that dream
be everlasting.

I want you to take pictures of the heavenly hosts, but make sure your lens cap is not still
on (JRE Link, 2018-1025 (Thu), COM-STR2).

Gifts! Gifts! Gifts! More gifts of the Spirit from heaven for everyone to enjoy. With God,
the season for giving gifts is all year round.

The love of God and the truth of God are the same thing––one-stop shopping for the
people of the earth (JRE Link, 2017-0324 (Fri), COM-STR2).

Lift the world to a higher plane through the gifts of the Spirit. Sing praises to God from
the rooftops. Let the glory of God shine upon your countenance (JRE Link, 2017-0324 (Fri), COM-STR2).

Enjoy spiritual gifts from God in abundance. Transition from a life having only minimal
spiritual gifts to a life overflowing with them (JRE Link, 2017-0526 (Fri), COM-STR2).

Don't hide away your gifts of the Spirit. Lean on them during trials. Bring them into the
forefront of your testimony (JRE Link, 2018-0606 (Wed), COM-STR2).

Spiritual gifts are like pretty packages sitting under the tree ready for us to open and
enjoy.

Spiritual gifts are not based on luck or fortuitous principles. They are based on faith and
the principles of righteousness.

Spiritual gifts allow you to enjoy the greatness of God in your daily life.

Spiritual gifts change our hearts and minds for the better, providing us a new career path
of love and faith.

Spiritual gifts are greater than temporal blessings. There is more peace (JRE Link, 2017-0507 (Sun), COM-STR2).

Spiritual gifts bear testimony of this great and marvelous work we are a part of.

Spiritual gifts manifested in our lives increase the likelihood that our children and
grandchildren will be saved in the kingdom of God––the fondest dream of all faithful, loving
parents (JRE Link, 2017-0108 (Sun), COM-STR2).
