Russell M. Nelson:
For each of you to receive revelation unique to your own needs and
responsibilities, certain guidelines prevail. The Lord asks you to develop
“faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God.”
Then with your firm “faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience,
brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, [and] diligence,” you may
ask, and you will receive; you may knock, and it will be opened unto you.
Revelation from God is always compatible with His eternal law. It never
contradicts His doctrine. It is facilitated by proper reverence for Deity. .
.
Revelation need not all come at once. It may be incremental. “Saith the Lord
God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon
precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken
unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn
wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more.” Patience and
perseverance are part of our eternal progression.
