Revelation Defined
- Revelation is any divine communication and is abundant in the Restoration.
- It's a skill to develop, not an instant gift upon receiving the Holy Ghost.
Models of Revelation
- Doctrine and Covenants Sections 8 & 9 offer models for revelation, like a burning bosom or stupor of thought.
- However, these aren't the only ways God communicates; personal revelation varies.
Embrace Diverse Revelation
- Recognize that God speaks to individuals in their mind and heart, combining intellect and emotion.
- Don't limit yourself to just one model of revelation.
