Here are some things I learned as I studied 2 Nephi 32:1-5:
• I have been given the Gift of the Holy Ghost as a constant companion.
• With the Holy Ghost as my companion, I “could speak with the tongue of angels.”
• And on those occasions, when I am not speaking with the tongue of angels, I do not have the Holy Ghost. (And I think I am pretty sure I know when I am speaking without the Holy Ghost!)
• An angel could include me! (When it comes to speaking, that is.)
• So, when I speak “by the power of the Holy Ghost,” I am speaking like an angel!
• And speaking like an angel (in angel tongue) means I am speaking the words of Christ!
• So there is one HUGE reason why “feasting on the words of Christ” is so important! It gives me POWER to speak His words. So when I do speak, they are His words that can come out of my mouth.
• Also, because I have the Holy Ghost, I have the right to Ask and Knock.
• Asking. Knocking. (Boy, I need to do this more often.)
• By asking and knocking, I open my heart to the Holy Ghost who can then bring me out of the dark and into the light.
• Then, when I do see the light (ding), the Holy Ghost can show me ALL things what I should do . . . and say! All things! That is truly amazing!
• Note to self: Reread Elder Holland’s April 2007 General Conference Talk!!!
