Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 28:2, 12
"But, behold, verily, verily, I say unto thee, no one shall be appointed to receive commandments and revelations in this church excepting my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., for he receiveth them even as Moses.
For, behold, these things have not been appointed unto him, neither shall anything be appointed unto any of this church contrary to the church covenants."
In this chapter the Lord explains that the prophet of the church receives revelations for the church. He also explains that Hiram Page had been deceived by Satan in believing he was receiving revelation for the church. This is very important to understand especially after President Nelson has told us we need to receive personal revelation. Sadly, I have seen people taking this to extremes. To the point they excuse following the counsel given by church leaders because their personal revelation tells them different. A study of this chapter should help in understanding the proper order of things, and how not to be deceived. It takes time to understand how the spirit speaks to you. To know when you have received personal revelation, and who it should be shared with.
