Elder Dale G. Renlund - A Framework for Personal Revelation

 Elder Elder Dale G. Renlund describes four components of the framework for revelation - 

One - 

"The scriptures form the first element of this framework for personal revelation.8 Feasting on the words of Christ, as found in the scriptures, stimulates personal revelation. Elder Robert D. Hales said: “When we want to speak to God, we pray. And when we want Him to speak to us, we search the scriptures.”"

Two - 

"A second element of the framework is that we receive personal revelation only within our purview and not within the prerogative of others..."

Three - 

"A third element of the framework is that personal revelation will be in harmony with the commandments of God and the covenants we have made with Him..."

Fourth -- 

"The fourth element of the framework is to recognize what God has already revealed to you personally, while being open to further revelation from Him. If God has answered a question and the circumstances have not changed, why would we expect the answer to be different?..."

"If we have received personal revelation for our situation and the circumstances have not changed, God has already answered our question."

"The elements of the framework for personal revelation are overlapping and mutually reinforcing. But within that framework, the Holy Ghost can and will reveal everything we need to soar onto and maintain momentum on the covenant path. Thus we can be blessed by the power of Jesus Christ to become what Heavenly Father wants us to be..."
