Receiving Messages With Your Comforter

Like your cell phone, your Comforter receives messages in a variety of formats-text messages, voice mail, and video mail. Your answers come in many ways. Although there are numerous ways your message from Heavenly Father might come, the most common are:     

Thoughts and Impressions-A still, small voice of the Holy Ghost. (D&C 8:2) (1 Kings 19:11–12)

Feelings- of comfort. The Holy Ghost causing your heart to feel the truth. (D&C 8:2) (D&C 6: 22-23)

As you continue to draw near to your Heavenly Father through the Comforter, you will recognize more readily His answers. These feelings are hard to describe but will be recognized as you learn how to get messages from your Comforter.

Checking for Missed Calls

Each morning and night as you use your Comforter pause and check for missed calls from your Heavenly Father. Turn up your speaker volume by eliminating other distractions while checking for thoughts, feelings and words your Heavenly Father has left for you.  Received messages are best checked while on your knees!

Unopened Messages

When you call on God in prayer with your Comforter the call always goes through. No foreign voice will answer. No voice recording. Never a wrong number.

You are His child. He’s not out of the office when you call. He’s not disinterested in your concerns. You’re not boring him. You can never go on too long. He will hear you out.

Money Back Guarantee

 Jesus taught, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened” (Matthew 7:7–8).  This guarantee is part of your Comforter service package.

As you learn to use your Comforter you’ll NEVER HAVE A DROPPED CALL and NEVER HAVE A DEAD SPOT. WOW! Your personal direct line with God-the creator of the universe. One who knows all the beginning and the end!

Heavenly Father may not always answer as you expect, but He does answer—in His own time and according to His will. Because He knows what is best for you, He may sometimes answer no, even when your messages are sincere.
