Lesson by Alyssa Piper, Dec. 12, Gift of The Holy Ghost

What is the Holy Ghost?
It is the comforter
A member of the Godhead
Speaks with a still small voice
Personage of spirit and not of body
Bears witness of all truth
A gift of happiness and enjoyment
Helps to purify our hearts

Once you receive the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands, you can have it with you always to guide and comfort you. The Holy Ghost is a direct connection to our Heavenly Father, what an amazing gift that is. It shows Heavenly Father's love for us that he really wants us to return to him and that we are never alone. It helps us to learn and know what is true so that we can grow and stay on the right path.

How can we always have the Holy Ghost?
We can make sure that we are in a safe and rightous place where he can also be
By reading our scriptures and praying everyday
By not doing or saying things that would offend the Holy Ghost
Be listening for it and being open to receiving it
