I dedicate this message to priesthood holders — "It's about man's search for divine truth. Once found, it is to be applied in this world of increased religious confusion and moral decadence."
"Where is divine truth to be found? It is to 'hear the voice of the Lord, hear the voice of his servants, give heed to the word of the prophets and apostles.' "
"In summary, the Lord has a pattern of sharing divine truth with prophets to guide and bless us through the challenges and evils of life: hear and heed. Our personal spiritual foundation needs to be built upon this pattern if we want to enjoy the blessings of the Lord."
"In reality, the communication or hearing about divine truth can be summarized in three words: revelation, commandments, blessings. However, it is going to be a lifetime challenge to first hear and then heed the voice of the Lord and his servants."
"Test divine revelation. Hear the voice of the Lord. It is real, it is personal, it is true. Reason does not and cannot replace revelation."
"Test and feel the powerful effect of the word of God upon your mind as given by the Lord's servants."
"Test, ask and receive in faith, then give heed to the word of the prophets and apostles, and you will 'receive a crown of eternal life.' "
Following the Lord's pattern to hear and give heed to divine truth will help members build a personal spiritual foundation and "determine what you will become in this life and in the life hereafter."
