Continuing Revelation
We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and
important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. (Article of Faith #9)
 (James 1: 5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it
shall be given him.
(Amos 3:7) Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
** (Jarom 1:4) And there are many among us who have many revelations, for they are not all stiffnecked. And as many as are not stiffnecked and have faith,
have communion with the Holy Spirit, which maketh manifest unto the children of men, according to their faith.
++ (Doctrine
and Covenants 42:61) If thou shalt ask, thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and
peaceable things—that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal.
Living prophets
Throughout history, God has chosen prophets, such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, and others, to teach the gospel and direct His Church.
(Amos 3:7) Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
 It is no different today. We all need God’s guidance in a world that is sometimes confusing. Because God loves His children, He
continues to send living prophets. Joseph Smith (1805–44) was the first prophet of our time. Gordon B. Hinckley is God’s chosen prophet today.
Just as God led the Israelites out of slavery and to a better place through His prophet Moses, He leads His children today into happier, more peaceful lives when
they choose to follow His living prophet. We invite you to listen to the words of living prophets and consider how knowing God’s will can benefit your life.
