As you ponder and pray about doctrinal principles, the Holy Ghost will speak to your mind and your heart.21 From events portrayed in the scriptures, new insights will come and principles relevant to your situation will distill upon your heart.
You cultivate such revelatory experiences by living according to the light already given you and by searching the scriptures with pure motives—with real intent to “come unto Christ.”22 As you do so, your confidence will “wax strong in the presence of God,” and the Holy Ghost will be your constant companion.23 – Russell M. Nelson, “Living by Scriptural Guidance,” Ensign (CR) November 2000
