Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that the Holy Ghost is part of the Godhead, along with God the Father and Jesus Christ. The members of the Godhead are separate Beings united in purpose. Unlike God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost has no physical body and is a personage of spirit. Other names for the Holy Ghost include the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of the Lord, and the Comforter.
The Holy Ghost witnesses of God the Father and of Jesus Christ and reveals and teaches truth. He also guides and protects us from physical and spiritual danger, brings peace and comfort, softens hearts, and sanctifies the repentant.
Anyone can experience the influence of the Holy Ghost. Activities such as praying, reading the scriptures, attending church, and serving others often invite His presence. Members of the Church are also given the gift of the Holy Ghost through confirmation, an ordinance following baptism. As they remain worthy of the presence of the Holy Ghost by keeping the commandments and repenting continually, they can have His constant companionship.
These addresses focus on the role of the Holy Ghost and discuss how to increase His influence in your life. We hope that as you read, listen to, or watch these addresses, you will feel the Holy Ghost testify of truth.
Observation, reason, and faith facilitate revelation and enable the Holy Ghost to be a reliable, trustworthy, and beloved companion. These elements will be key factors in producing “spiritual momentum in our lives” and helping us move “forward amid . . . fear and uncertainty.”
