ColorQuote (below reads): “Obedience opens the door to the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. And the spiritual gifts and abilities activated by the power of the Holy Ghost enable us to avoid deception – and to see, to feel, to know, to understand, and to remember things as they really are.” David A. Bednar, Apostle, “Things as They Really Are”
TEENS
ColorQuote (below reads): “When we understand our baptismal covenant and the gift of the Holy Ghost, it will change our lives and will establish our total allegiance to the kingdom of God. When temptations come our way, if we will listen, the Holy Ghost will remind us that we have promised to remember our Savior and obey the commandments of God.” – Elder Robert D Hales
INSPIRATION:
REACH FOR GOD’S POWER:
“When you reach up for the Lord’s power in your life with the same intensity that a drowning person has when grasping and gasping for air, power from Jesus Christ will be yours. When the Savior knows you truly want to reach up to Him—when He can feel that the greatest desire of your heart is to draw His power into your life—you will be led by the Holy Ghost to know exactly what you should do.
When you spiritually stretch beyond anything you have ever done before, then His power will flow into you. And then you will understand the deep meaning of words we sing in the hymn “The Spirit of God”: The Lord is extending the Saints’ understanding. … The knowledge and power of God are expanding; The veil o’er the earth is beginning to burst.”
– Russell M. Nelson, Prophet – Talk “Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives” given when He was an Apostle (HERE)
COME FOLLOW ME LESSON IDEAS ON THE HOLY GHOST:
. . . GOD WILL GUIDE ME . . .
1 Nephi 16:10, 28–29; 18:8–13, 20–22 (PRIMARY)
The Lord can guide and direct me.
Teach the children that even when they face difficult challenges, the Lord can guide them (see 1 Nephi 16:29).
Possible Activities
-
Show the children a compass, a map, or something else that helps us find our way, and explain how to use these tools. Compare these tools to the Liahona as you summarize the story in 1 Nephi 16:10, 28–29 and 18:9–13, 20–22. Point out that when Lehi’s family was not obedient, the Liahona did not work (see also 1 Nephi 18:9–12, 20–22). What helps us today to find our way back to Heavenly Father?
DOWNLOAD the LIAHONA Post-and-Present activity above.1 Nephi 16:18–32; 17:7–16; 18:1–4 (YOUTH)
When we keep the commandments, God will help us face challenges.
-
Members of your class may be facing tasks and challenges that seem impossible. How can you use Nephi’s experience with his own seemingly impossible tasks—feeding his family in the wilderness and building a ship—to help them? Perhaps class members could read 1 Nephi 16:18–32; 17:7–16; and 18:1–4, looking for principles that can help them when they face a challenging hardship (for example, 1 Nephi 16:24–26 teaches that prayer and humility allow us to receive inspiration and direction from God). You might start by giving them an example of a principle you found in these verses. As they share what they found, they might also share related personal experiences.
