Frequency of Revelation

  • How often is God willing to communicate with each of us?

In a general conference talk, Boyd K. Packer said that we receive a “constant signal” from the Lord:

The Lord has a way of pouring pure intelligence into our minds to prompt us, to guide us, to teach us, to warn us. You can know the things you need to know instantly! Learn to receive inspiration.

There is a spiritual beam, with a constant signal. If you know how to pray and how to listen, spiritually listen, you may move through life, through clear weather, through storms, through wars, through peace, and be all right.

The prophet Mormon said:

But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God. (Moroni 7:13)

In the sacrament prayer we are promised that we may “always have [the spirit of Jesus Christ] to be with [us].”

The Lord told Moses, “there is no end to my works, neither to my words.”( Moses 1:38).

In a revelation through Joseph Smith, the Lord told Oliver Cowdery “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, blessed art thou for what thou hast done; for thou hast inquired of me, and behold, as often as thou hast inquired thou hast received instruction of my Spirit. If it had not been so, thou wouldst not have come to the place where thou art at this time.” (D&C 6:14).

In Psalm 139, David implies that the Lord is constantly sending revelation or thoughts to him:

17) How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18) If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
