The Power of Listening to the Prophet

Hey everyone! it has been a while since I last posted but I have just recently started another Old Testament Class and I am really excited to share some more insights!

This week I have been reading in 1 Kings and there have been many valuable principles that I was able to take away from my reading. The one principles that I wanted to share today is that when we listen to the modern day prophet, we will be blessed both spiritually and physically.

Throughout history God has sent Prophets to his children to teach them how they can be successful spiritually and physically and how they can return to live with Him. One example of a prophet in Old Testament Times is the Prophet Nathan.

On one occasion Nathan was sent to help Bath Sheeba and he told her that if she would take heed of what he had to say then Solomon’s life would be spared. Because Bath Sheeba listened to the prophet, she was blessed.

All of us have the opportunity to hear and listen to a modern day Prophet. His name is Russel M. Nelson. From my own experience I have been able to see that when I listen to what the prophet has to say, things go so much better for me in life. More than anything I feel closer to God and more protected from the dangers we face in our day.

My invitation is to get to know Russel M. Nelson and ponder on the teachings he has shared with us from God. Study them out yourself and then ask God if he really is a Prophet. I know that you will come to the same conclusion I did, that he is a living Prophet who talks to God and reveals his will for us.
