·         TEACHING BY THE SPIRIT.

·         Personal preparation and worthiness are necessary to teach by the Spirit.

Ø  Alma 8: 10

Alma worked with the Spirit and asked for God’s help through his prayers. We wanted to share the Spirit to people in the city of Ammonihah. So he could bring them unto repentance through baptism. We learned from Alma that the Spirit has a big influence for him. The Spirit gave him strength, knowledge, and authority to preach the Gospel. It is important for us in our mission field to work with the Spirit and ask for God’s help through our prayers. So investigators will fell the Spirit; moreover they will repent and be baptized.

Ø  Doctrine and Covenants 11: 21-22

The scripture explained that we need to learn about the Gospel before we preach to people about it. Because of that, the Spirit will help us to preach the Gospel. It will helps us with the foreign language and also convince investigators to believe with the Gospel. First 22 explained about the Book of Mormon which is the word of God still being translated.

·         Missionaries can invite the Holy Ghost into their teaching.

Ø  Alma 5: 45-46

The scripture told us about we will know that the Gospel is true because of the Spirit. We need to invite the spirit by fasting and praying. After we know that the Gospel is true, we will teach confidently and full of Spirit. We will also have the spirit of revelation that helps us receive guidance from the Lord.

Ø  Doctrine and Covenants 100: 7-8

In the scripture, the Lord wants us preach the Gospel in His name, solemn heart, and humbleness. The Lord also promised us that the Holy Ghost will always on our side and bear records for all things that we say. If we are worthy to receive the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost will help us in our teachings.
