Listening to the Holy Ghost is not an easy job, as we often don’t listen to or forget to trust the Holy Ghost. Here is one example from my life of why this is important. In the early 1990’s, my friend and I were planning to go out somewhere. We stopped at "K" street, waiting for the traffic light to allow us to cross the street. All the sudden, I had a feeling like someone is tapping me and telling me to move away from the traffic light pole. So, I asked my friend to move further away from the traffic light. My friend didn't understand why I asked her to move. A few seconds later, out of the blue, an old, blue car came toward to us. The driver seemed to be confused or drunk. As a result, he crashed his car into the very traffic light where we had been. I was surprised that I had moved away, and had listened to my feelings. That feeling came from the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost was telling me to move, and if I hadn't listened to it, the car would have struck either me or my friend. I am very glad that I listened.
What is the Holy Ghost? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints explains that "the Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead. He is a personage of spirit, without a body of flesh and bones. He is frequently referred to as the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of the Lord, or the Comforter." The Holy Ghost generally talks with us gently and guides us to find either the right path or find answers to our questions. But it isn't always a simple thing to pay attention to the Holy Ghost. I constantly try to do my best to listen to it, because the Holy Ghost is always available to help people in need around the world.
The last thing I want to share is a list of a few links from Ensign Articles from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
