I didn't know we could just ask [message #3508]

I came across Amonhi's post one day about the process of how to make your C&E sure.
I began thinking "that's a great idea, pick a specific date to ask...hmmm...let me check my calendar.."
But the Spirit was so clear in prompting me to ask right in that moment.
I thought "Seriously? Ask right now?"
I could hardly get all the words of the prayer out as I was flooded from head to toe with relief, amazement, happiness. It's like the Spirit was shouting "YES. YES, of course you do!" (have your C&E)

I couldn't believe it.
I received the Baptism of fire when I was 12, (baptized at 8 ), but I didn't know that's what it was til later. In the past couple of years, after learning to meditate, I have had wonderful spiritual experiences, communicating with Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother and the Savior, too, but I'd only seen the Savior in dreams.
I thought you had to see the Savior first, physically, to receive your C&E. I still have a lot more to learn about but it is neat how I notice the difference between listening to the Holy Ghost vs listening to the Savior - they sound like 2 different people, which is a nice reassurance that the Savior is leading me now.

I can't be sure, because I haven't had much time with ONLY the 1st Comforter, but does the Holy Ghost ever use words like this? Unless we are in mortal danger, of course. For those of us who know both, does the 1st Comforter use words?
Or is it that by the time we hear words, we are already close to receiving our C&E?

Idk what the rules are, but I think the spirit can communicate via voice before receiving c&e. I never thought about it, though. In the experience I shared of receiving my c&e, I am translating what the spirit communicated to me. Afterwards I asked when I qualified to have my c&e and I was reminded of an experience when I was 17-18yrs old. I had been studying about Saul and his change to becoming Paul. I learned about all the good he did and how his desire to fight the good fight motivated him. I remember kneeling down and telling Heavenly Father "I want to be like that! I want to help!" It was a great experience because, though I didn't realize it then, I was choosing a path. I was by no means perfect, but my heart was changed.

Mariposa,
I greatly enjoyed your story.
I believe you will find that you have seen the Savior with your spiritual eyes, as promised in scripture. Your spiritual eyes are similar to your "imagination." The Hindus call it the third eye, which sits approximately in the middle of the forehead. We see spiritually through this "eye." You have been much farther down the road than you realized. Congratulations, and welcome to the Church of the Firstborn.

Bishop

I've only started to hear words and sentences since receiving my calling and election. Prior to this my experiences were always of strong spiritual feelings confirming truths. For me It was definitely a second comforter thing... Though I havent seen him face to face yet I have heard His voice and have been taught at times through the veil.

AS THY DAYS MAY DEMAND SO THY SUCCOR SHALL BE
