The Holy Ghost speaks with a voice that you feel more than you hear. It is described as a “still small voice.” And while we speak of “listening” to the whisperings of the Spirit, most often one describes a spiritual prompting by saying, “I had a feeling …”
We do not seek for spectacular experiences. President Spencer W. Kimball spoke of the many who “have no ear for spiritual messages … when they come in common dress. … Expecting the spectacular, one may not be fully alerted to the constant flow of revealed communication.”
For me over the last 10 months and the last 16 months since Murry's death, I have been brought to my knees, my heart and my mind have been opened to the spiritual side of me. More so than before, probably since my mission and the birth of our boys. I've been able to feel the "feelings" and understand what I'm feeling more so than before. Having been blessed with the Holy Ghost, and to feel the love of my Angel Grandma Thackeray. To feel the burning and the prompting of her presents that I might share her message to her sick daughter. Of going to the Temple to feel the spirit of a man waiting for so many years to accept his Temple Ordanices. To feel other small promptings that there were no other explaination for but to be the spirit telling me of what I need to do and what needs to be done.

My "test" or refiners fire is burning my outside to a point of wondering if I will combust soon. But my inside is full of warmth and gratitude for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that I know of his love and kindness for all of his brother's and sisters, and for the love of our Heavenly Father to his children. I am willing to take whatever test is given me from Him, I did not make Him a part of my life like I should of, so if I have to wait longer to learn and be more humble I will. I am just greatful that I can feel His spirit and peace as I/we deal with this trial.
Prayer is your personal key to heaven. The lock is on your side of the veil.
love you Denzil
