Sunday Morning Session
Prophets of God
Excerpts
The Lord testified to the woman of Shunem that Elisha was a prophet of God, and she acted by opening her house to receive him.
We too can receive a personal testimony of God’s prophets today and open our hearts and minds—our house—to the message that our Heavenly Father has for us in these latter days. …
What is a prophet? A prophet is a man whom God has called to speak for Him. …
Prophets are seers and revelators. That means they can see what others cannot see, and they can prophesy of future events. … Prophets receive commandments and revelations from the Lord. …
Prophets also proclaim the gospel and are inspired teachers and messengers of God to everyone on earth. …
Prophets testify of Christ—His existence, His ministry, and His divinity. …
The woman of Shunem taught us that we can have that testimony through the Holy Ghost. I promise you that once we know they are God’s anointed ones, our lives will be easier in spite of our ongoing challenges, as we will obey their voices with trust, faith, and hope. To listen to and obey the voice of the prophet is crucial to holding on to every good thing until the Second Coming of our Savior. …
I am grateful for the guidance and consecrated efforts of the living prophets. … It will always be the Lord who chooses His servants.
