Recieving The Gift of The Holy Ghost

   Shortly after the ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Apostle Peter instructed the people what they needed to do to gain Salvation and one of the key things he states,is if you repent and are baptized you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38). So what is the gift of the Holy Ghost? Why is important? How do we get it? These are impotant questions to know the answer to if we want to follow the Savior Jesus Christ's perfect example, as he also received this wonderfull gift (Matthew 3:13-17). First of all the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit that is to act as a comforter. Jesus taught that this comforter he would send would give us feelings of peace (John 14 :26-27). We can all feel the influence of the Holy Ghost but only if we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost can we have this comforter with us at all times. It is important to also note that this comforter not only gives us feelings of peace, but can act as a roadguide for us throughout our lives. As we pray and council with our Heavenly Father, he will help us know what to do by feelings of the Holy Ghost that he will bring to our minds and our hearts (Doctrine and Covenants 8:2). The Holy Ghost can warn us of danger and help us make right choices. When we do not listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost, it's influence withdraws from us. We recieve this gift as stated in The Book of Acts (Acts 8:17-18), by the laying on of hands as the picture below shows. It is important that this ordinance is given by those who hold the proper Preisthood authority from God (Hebrews 5:4). This authority was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith and exists today within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We invite all to come and experience these blessings for themselves and feel the Holy Ghost bring more peace and joy into their lives.
