** DAY 22 -- Constant Whisperings

Today I get to teach the High Priests.  It is such  a privilege to teach the gospel to anyone.  I love it.  This past week I read the lesson (#14) and then I let it dwell in my mind until Sunday morning.  Then I collect all the thoughts I have had during the week into some form of organization.  Then pray that Father will direct me what to say, how to say it, and present it with the Holy Ghost.   So as I pause in the morning to seek and receive the Holy Ghost directing me how to organize, it is such a sweet experience to feel His direction.  Often additional ideas and scriptures come into my mind that I know He wants me to teach.

I have been set apart to teach the High Priests.  I have been sustained by the High Priests, and more especially I am supported by my Father.  Thus I have the right to this inspiration as I prepare and present ideas and concepts, and especially testimony to the brethren.

I am looking forward to the same experiences that will happen when we go to the Dominican Republic.  We will be set apart as missionaries.  We will be sustained by the leaders who set us apart and we have been called by Him who knows all.  We will experience the same experience explained above as we serve as missionaries.  However this experience will be daily, not only when I teach High Priests.  What a joy and wonderful privilege to be put into such an opportunity to commune with the Spirit constantly.  

Of course one must be worthy of that direction, that inspiration to do Father's will.  That will be our challenge to constantly be in tune to receive that direction from Father.  Often, as with the High Priests, we will be directed to do or say something without knowing the reasons why.  But that is when faith comes in. Father knows the reasons why and will continue to whisper those nuggets of inspiration as long as we follow them.

I am overjoyed to know that being inspired full time to help in His work is coming in just a few weeks.  We can leave behind bills, challenges, the things of mortality and enter into a life of being a disciple of Christ every moment of every day.  What a joy and blessing awaits us.
