General Conference – No Ordinary Blessing

Why do we need Prophets? Because Heavenly Father loves His children. He has not left them to walk through this mortal life without direction and guidance. The teachings of our Heavenly Father are not the ordinary, predictable, run-of-the-mill kind you can pick up in paperback at the local bookstore. They are the wisdom of an all-powerful, all-knowing celestial Being who loves His children. Encompassed in His words are the secrets of the ages – the key to happiness in this life and in the world to come.

Heavenly Father reveals this wisdom to His children on earth through His servants the Prophets (Amos 3:7). Prophets are inspired teachers and are always special witnesses of Jesus Christ. Prophets speak not only to the people of their time, but they also speak to people throughout all time. Their voices echo through the centuries as a testament of God’s will to His children.

Much of what the Lord reveals to His prophets is intended to prevent sorrow for us as individuals and as societies. When God speaks, He does so to teach, inspire, refine, and warn His children. When individuals and societies ignore their Heavenly Father’s instructions, they do so at the risk of trial, torment, and toil.

Come learn from each other as we share our testimonies of General Conference, and learn ways to assist us, and our families, to glean the most from Conference. General Conference is October 4-5. Now is the time to prepare to receive personal revelation from the Lord’s servants, His Prophets.
