Moroni Chapter 10


10:3-5 - "...And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things..."
The feelings of the Holy Ghost come through feelings of happiness, peace, etc. (Galatians 5:22).  The devil cannot give us those feelings, so we can use that as a gauge to see if it is true.  Although the devil may imitate those feelings through emotion, he cannot give us those specific feelings.  This is how we can know the truth of all things.


10:4 - "...I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true..."
President Gordon B. Hinckley talked about this and used this scripture in the November 2007 Ensign, Pg. 83-86. "The Book of Mormon is the only book ever published, of which I know, that carries in it a promise that one who reads it prayerfully and asks concerning it in prayer will have revealed to him by the power of the Holy Ghost a knowledge that it is true."
There is a great promise, but it takes work.  It's worth it!


10:23 - "...If ye have faith ye can do all things which are expedient unto me..."
This faith is essential to accomplish what the Lord wants us to do.  It has to be expedient in the Lord, however.  We can't just start flying, even though it's possible, unless it is expedient in the lord.  He will qualify those whom He chooses and will help them accomplish the things that he commandeth them to do (1 Nephi 3:7).


10:23 - "...If ye have faith ye can do all things which are expedient unto me..."
I think this is a very good summary on a study of faith.  Faith is the backbone for so many things - repentance, mercy, baptism, moving mountains, etc.  If we have faith, and exercise it righteously, we will be able to accomplish all things which are expedient unto the Lord.
Let us act in faith, and open ourselves up to receiving even more of the gift of faith in our lives.
