Wow...I feel like I used to be able to detect the Spirit and be able to discern. but now I am just struggling. I don't think God has reveled to me different things than what the prophet has said. But I have feelings that I don't like about it.
I took great comfort in this scripture
No one shall be appointed to receive commandments and revelations in this church excepting my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., for he receiveth them even as Moses. And thou shalt be obedient unto the things which I shall give unto him, even as Aaron, to declare faithfully the commandments and the revelations, with power and authority unto the church. And if thou art led at any time by the Comforter to speak or teach, or at all times by the way of commandment unto the church, thou mayest do it. But thou shalt not write by way of commandment, but by wisdom. (D&C 28:2-5)
I am greatful God has provided a way for us to not be deceived. Also this dispensation is different than all other in the ways that God has set things up through commands in D&C. I read some church history about some other guys who thought they received revelation from God about certain things that went against what the scriptures and prophets teach. That was helpful to know that others make mistakes it what is revealed to them. Just some of my thoughts as I have thought more about revelation. Thanks everyone. I would still love to know thoughts, suggestions and what ever else you could give me. Thanks
