“This Is the Spirit of Revelation”

February 3 – February 9, 2025

WEEK 06 SUMMARY

=================

Lesson Summary:

Doctrine and Covenants sections 6 through 9 contain revelations given to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. These sections address Oliver Cowdery's role as a scribe and his desire to translate, emphasizing the importance of seeking spiritual guidance. In these revelations, the Lord assures Oliver of His support and guidance if Oliver asks with sincerity, seeks wisdom, and studies the scriptures. They highlight the processes of personal revelation and the importance of fear not and doubt not in one's journey of faith. The Lord assures that if asked sincerely, the Spirit will confirm truths by providing peace to one's mind and heart.
