You can miss out on the great things of the Lord simply because you fail to ask. Could it be that you don’t really believe the Lord would make such remarkable things known to “little old me”? If you desire to experience the mighty things of the Spirit, here is the formula, from verse 11 and the end of verse 14: Inquire with faith + obey the commandments = receive revelation. If you do his will, you can know the doctrine is true (John 7:17). This passage teaches the same grand message as James 1:5–6 and Moroni 10:4–5. If you sincerely ask of God, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth to you by the power of the Holy Ghost. The patriarch Abraham is a superb example of one who actively inquired of the Lord and relentlessly sought to claim blessings that God promises to all who seek him in righteousness (Abraham 1:1–4).
