Episode notes

A key event in making one's calling and election made sure is obtaining that "knowledge" through the more sure word of prophecy. Through a heaven sent revelatory experience we can know our standing before the Lord. Bruce R. McConkie explains that this is having the "day of judgement advanced". This episode discusses how we can obtain this heavenly pronouncement. There are patterns in scriptural accounts of various individuals who did indeed receive this more sure of prophecy. As we study the patterns and clue into the phrases that we should be listening for, we will be more able to recognize this singular event in our own lives. God is no respecter of persons, and all are invited to come unto Him and make our calling and election sure.
