So may people receive the words of the Holy Ghost yet they damn themselves because they do not believe them.
If you receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost yet you don’t believe his words what good was that gift? You turn it down when you do not believe and grow in it.
Here are a few things I’ve been asked and my response:

I just don’t know if my experiences mean anything or not.
I received these words:
“You have been true and faithful and shall gain eternal life”.
But the words can’t be enough, right?
…
My trouble is the doubt. I struggle in trusting in this and am waiting for some miraculous event which from what I understand doesn’t necessarily happen. Is that correct?
….
In a nutshell, I am concerned this is my imagination and I don’t trust myself enough to believe otherwise. If that makes any sense. 😂

Here is my responsibility to these and many more discussions like these and more elaborate which I have not included.
Your experience sounds an awful lot like many of the examples in scripture of receiving the Calling and Election made sure and other blessings.
For some it is more, for almost everyone in scripture it is simple and pure as was yours.
Many are trying to teach now that it must be a certain way, but that is not consistent with scripture.
As Isaiah received the Holy Ghost as a still small voice within, so too do the things of the spirit most often manifest. When we can learn to be quiet and still, we step toward God.
I am going to tell you to have faith and be believing of whatever the Lord blesses you with. Better to have too much faith than too little. Better to have too much charity and kindness than too little.
So here’s the logic… Let’s say it’s wrong… but you live your life as if it is right… what will happen as a result!? You will ACT like a holier person.
You will GROW in faith and more experiences will come to you as a result.
If you are disbelieving, you will close off faith and will receive fewer and fewer manifestations of the spirit because they can only come to the faithFull…
Plus, being believing you will feel better. And when we FEEL better we ACT better.
Is it better to FEEL like a celestial person and act the part! Or to feel like a looser and act that part?
Many, many people I know directly have eventually entertained the Savior as a direct result of BELIEVING their C&E experience and living in a way that was believing enough.
And also therefore feeling WORTHY themselves of Christ’s presence.
But you say, what if…? “What if I think and act as if my Calling and Election is made sure but it is not so? I am lying to and deceiving myself!”
To this we say: “If you refuse to plant the seed the tree will never grow!”
Yes you may find yourself deluded for believing too much at first but very soon your delusion will become your reality!
Some guidelines:
1. Do no harm
– Don’t go around trying to do what you think is the will of God by justifying terrible or illegal acts to please Him. Behave as a good person would.
2. Love and serve with your knowledge and blessings.
3. Teach others and Raise ALL to the blessing you believe you have.
– Make all men your equals
– Ask the Lord for what’s next.
If you have truly made your Calling and Election Sure, more will be brought and taught to you.
Your mission will become clear. You will be taught by messengers, those from this earth who are ahead of you on the path, also by apostles and prophets from the past, either in person or via the scriptures and the Holy Ghost to your mind.
Eventually you will be brought to the assembly of the Church of the Firstborn in spirit.
You will visit the New Jerusalem
You will meet the Father and Mother
And so much more if you
Ask
Seek and
Knock
BELIEVE the Holy Ghost or you will loose your connection to him! Act as if God does not lie! The Holy Ghost speaks Gods words. If you do not believe him you assume god is a liar. And if you treat God as a liar… well, I believe you can think that one through for yourself.
Love and Light,
