Daily Answer: What does personal revelation mean to me?

​My daily question for my scripture study today was, "What does personal revelation mean to me?"

When I study the scriptures to receive personal revelation, I notice phrases and write those down. The phrases that I noticed today from Mosiah 24 were, "pour out their hearts to him; and he did know the thoughts of their hearts," "lift up your heads and be of good comfort,""stand as a witness," and "the Lord did strengthen them." Having the knowledge that the Lord knows my heart, comfort, the ability to stand as a witness, and strength are all blessings I've received from personal revelation. I also learned from the story in Mosiah 24 of Alma's people being delivered from bondage. Alma was told by the voice of the Lord what they should do. Sometimes I "hear" a voice with direction. After Alma and his people escaped, "they poured out their thanks to God." I received the personal revelation that I should kneel and thank the Lord for receiving personal revelation. As I did that, I received the understanding that I can talk to God. Isn't that incredible? I, Docena Holm, can talk to God.

What personal revelation means to me is that through the gift of the Holy Ghost I can Hear God daily and often. He comforts me, gives me direction, strengthens me, and encourages me to repent and turn to Him.
