Prayer and pondering the scriptures help prepare us to receive the influence of the Holy Ghost.
- 1 Nephi 11:1 - This scripture is very powerful. It really shows of Christs power. If we believe in things, then we should ponder them. After we think and ponder exceedingly then we will feel the spirit of the lord. We need that spirit to dwell within us in order to teach out investigators and bring them unto Christ
- Alma 5:46 - The spirit will make things known unto us as children of god, and as missionaries. But these things don't just come in the mail one day. We need to first treasure up our religion and its teachings. Fast and prayer, just like in this scripture will help us to have the spirit with us, and have the power to preach and teach
- D&C 11:21 - We need to not seek to declare the word, but to obtain it. We need to strive to learn and dwell and treasure up the things that we need to teach. We need to know the discussions like the back of our hand, and treasure them up. When we have succesfully obtained the word, our tounge will be loosed. The spirit of god will dwell within us and help thing come to mind. Our memory will be opened and the spirit will help distinguish what to say and what not to say. This is such a special thing to have in our lives, and it will ever help us. With his spirit we will have the power to convince men, and bring them unto Christ
- D&C 100:5-8 - I feel like a lot of missionaries might be scared to speak up and say what they are prompted to say. so in this scripture it says we need to lift up our voices! We need to speak and preach the word to everyone. The spirit will put the words into our hearts, and we will not be confounded my men. It will pay in the end. If we do what we are asked, if we do what we should, we will have the words delivered to us, and the children of god will be brought unto his word.
