Syd:
You asked about how to receive personal revelation. That's a great question and one that you will spend a lifetime refining. However, there are so key principles that will help you on your pursuit. I'm getting these from the book Journey to the Veil by John Pontius, I have the audio book so I will paraphrase until I get a system of getting you the information. The ideas I share are not new but they are organized to order your mind such that the concepts will help you understand.
Principle One:
You must be willing to act upon any (and all) revelations/promptings that you receive. Then you must humbly submit to God and act. This is the reason many of us go through life without unlocking the key to revelation; we simply have too much pride and are unwilling to submit to the will of God. Receiving revelation is that simple. Every other concept has this as the foundation.
So, you believe in Christ, right? Right. There is no argument here. Every believing Christian believes in Christ.
The real question is do you believe Christ? If you believe him, then you will exercise faith (Moroni 7:21). The act of exercising faith strengthens your ability to perceive when you are being prompted until you are able to perceive when you are receiving revelation.
Study the concepts of pride and faith as relating to receiving revelation and your eyes will be opened and your understanding will be enlightened.
As for things on the home front, Everything here is fine. Life moves on. Sadie is teething and her mouth is bloody as a result. I'll send a video.
