How To

In Alma 26, there is an interesting promise in one of the verses that I have never really picked up on before.

Alma 26:22 "Yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth coninually without ceasing--unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; year, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance."

So what I see in this verse is a How To scenario. If you want an increased presence of the Lord in your life, and an increased spirit of revelation, do these things:

1. Come unto the Lord humbly and repent.
2. Exercise faith.
3. Do good works and serve your fellow men.
4. Pray continually unto our Heavenly Father with a prayer always in your heart.

To me, it is completely worth it to try these four steps to feel an greater influence of the Lord in my life. I want to be the best I can be, and I know that these steps are one way for me to become a better disciple of Jesus Christ.
