Lesson 14: The Gift of the Holy Ghost
Sister Shirley Lundquist gave this lesson and pointed out how personal a
topic this is. "The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead. The
mission of the Holy Ghost is to bear witness of the Father and the Son
and of all truth. You cannot get the gift of the Holy Ghost by praying
for it, by paying your tithing, by keeping the Word of Wisdom—not even
by being baptized in water for the remission of sins. You must complete
that baptism with the baptism of the Spirit. We may after baptism and
confirmation become companions of the Holy Ghost who will teach us the
ways of the Lord, quicken our minds and help us to understand the
truth. It is the privilege of every member of the Church to know the
truth, to speak by the truth, to have the inspiration of the Holy Ghost;
it is our privilege, individually, … to receive the light and to walk
in the light; and if we continue in God, that is, keep all of His
commandments, we shall receive more light until eventually there shall
come to us the perfect day of knowledge. [See D&C 50:24.]"
