A Knowledge of Revelation

Last night I was reading in the January Ensign of the Twelve apostles and their testimonies of the Prophet Joseph Smith. I loved them all. But it was Elder Holland's that I was really touched by. I read it over and over. So, I give my testimony with his.. That the Heavens are still open. Joseph Smith was truly called of God We have a living prophet today, even Thomas S. Monson, that gives us divine direction. We are so very blessed to be living in this dispensation. And I KNOW that God does and will speak to man and that miracles exist. I know these things to be true. I know it with all that is in me..So read on, his testimony is beautiful.

Jeffrey R. Holland, “A Knowledge of Revelation,” Ensign, Jan. 2009, 14

“Are the heavens open? Does God reveal His will to prophets and apostles as in days of old? That they are and that He does is the unflinching declaration of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to all the world. And in that declaration lies the significance of Joseph Smith, the Prophet. …
“His life asked and answered the question ‘Do you believe God speaks to man?’ In all else that he accomplished in his brief 38 and a half years, Joseph left us above all else the resolute legacy of divine revelation—not a single, isolated revelation without evidence or consequence … but specific, documented, ongoing directions from God” (“Prophets, Seers, and Revelators,” Ensign, Nov. 2004, 8).
