Recently we were at a dinner appointment.

Missionaries + people from our congregation + food= amazing :)

All was well, conversation was flowing.

And then a sister started telling us about an experience she recently had.

I honestly don't remember what she said but I do remember my thoughts.

It was a still voice.

Yet I felt as if I was hit by a ton of bricks.

It was the thought, 

"There is a Prophet on the earth today."

After everyone was done talking I shared my exciting newfound discovery!

They laughed the "yeah, we know." laugh.

But I thought "there are so many people who don't know."

 

God loves us and wants to help us navigate through this crazy world.

A loving God would not stick us on this earth to fend for ourselves and say "sucks to be you!!"

That's why God shows His love for us by calling prophets.

Bible = words of 66 prophets

Book of Mormon= words of 33 prophets

Bible = Jerusalem

Book of Mormon = Ancient Americas

All 99 of these prophets testify of our Savior Jesus Christ.

What makes a Prophet?

Inspired men called to speak for the Lord.

They don't call themselves but God calls them through His proper authority.

Prophets Testify of Jesus Christ and teach His Gospel.

which is

Faith,

Repentance,

Baptism,

Receiving the Gift of the Holey Ghost

and Enduring to the end.

Because God still loves us we know his pattern of calling a prophet still stands.

 Christ's Gospel is the same.

Therefore His Church is the same.

I know there is a prophet on the earth today.

Recently when this fact hit me I couldn't contain my excitement.

As Christians we always say we will get on the boat if we were told  the floods were coming.

So will you get on the boat?

Will you pray to know if there is a prophet on the earth today?
