President Gordon B. Hinckley, called by the Lord to stand as the world leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was ordained and set apart as the 15th President of the Church on Sunday, March 12, 1995.
He had earlier served 14 years as a counselor in the First Presidency, the top governing body of the Church, and as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles for 20 years prior to that.
In the bible we learn in Amos 3:7...
"Surly the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealith his secret unto His sevants the prophets."
The Bible also says in Hebrews 13:8...
"Jesus Christ the same Yesterday, today, and forever."
Many people today screem: But we don't need a prophet today, the Bible tells us everything that we need to know.
But didnt God say that we should live by every word that proceeds from His mouth (Matt. 10:3-5, Deut. 8:3)? If he has spoken more threw His prophets - and yet speaks more - that He wants us to know, should we not receave it with gratitude reather then stopping our ears?
In these dark and difficult days, wouldn't it only make sence if God (being so loving) called a prophet today to guide us in the right direction and tell us what God wants us to do in these latter days?
How can I know this is true?
Your Heavenly Father is the source of all truth. He loves you and wants to answer your questions. Therefore, He will help you recognize the truth as you sincerely seek it and ask Him for guidance. You can know if the things you are learning are true if you ask your Heavenly Father in prayer. He desires for you to know the truth, and you can receive an answer from Him through the Holy Ghost. As taught in the Bible, "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, [and] temperance" (Galatians 5:22--23). These feelings from the Holy Ghost are personal revelation to you that the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is true. You will then need to choose whether you will live in harmony with the knowledge you have received.
As the Savior taught in the Bible, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you ( Matthew 7:7). Feelings from the Holy Ghost are personal revelation to you that confirm the truth of the Book of Mormon and the gospel of Jesus Christ as restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith.
The last prophet of the Book of Mormon, a man named Moroni, gave this remarkable promise to anyone who wants to know whether the Book of Mormon is true: "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost?" ( Moroni 10:4).
You can discover for yourself that what you've been learning is true by:
• Sincerely praying to your Heavenly Father and asking Him if what you are learning is true.
• Continuing to study and give thoughtful consideration to what you are learning.
• Listening with your heart for the Holy Ghost to whisper the truth to you.
• Following God's commandments so you can feel the influence of the Holy Ghost.
