Personal Revelation

Personal Revelation is a true gift from our Heavenly Father. It is our ability to find out answers and receive guidance for ourselves.  Personal Revelation is a real power upon the earth this day and we have the chance to use it in our lives every single day. When we pray to our Heavenly Father for guidance and answers, we are able to be given those answers that pertain to our specific needs and circumstances. It is such a wonderful knowledge to know that Heavenly Father knows you personally and when you ask for guidance, you are able to receive true and divine wisdom for yourself. It is what separates our faith from others. I know that God is mindful of each one of us and we have the ability and responsibility to receive revelation for ourselves and our families.
