Seek To Be Taught

The greatest institution for teaching is to seek our Heavenly Father. He wants to teach us. But first we have to have a desire to learn, then we have to be ready to be taught. 
The best place for this learning to be received is at the temple of our God. We need to go there with the purpose and we need to prepare to enter. We have to have a testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ. We have to do certain things that will help us to be more prepared as we entered to be taught by the Spirit.
When we have questions we need to ask those questions and expect that our Heavenly Father will answer.
Those questions are worth taking to the temple. The temple can be referred to as the University of spiritual guidance. The spirit will bless us with knowledge that we seek.
In the temple the things that we learn lead us to Jesus Christ. The lessons taught there strengthen our testimony of Jesus Christ. 
As we go to the temple we are taught as we are ready to receive. The teachings of the Spirit is a two way conversation the spirit asks us questions; just as we are asking our questions. That way we are being taught as if we are having a conversation with our Heavenly Father. 
As we gain that knowledge of our questions we are also gaining knowledge of the life of Christ. We learn of his birth his mission,  the way the world treated him, we learn how to strengthen  a testimony of The master and his called leadership.
We leave the temple ready to serve with the knowledge that we have been given. These are tools that will assist us in being messengers of the Savior Jesus Christ. We learn how to follow Christ's example. By 1: visiting the sick 2:visiting those who are afflicted with disease 3: reaching out to those with devils and unclean spirits. This is truly exercising the priesthood. And those who we visit and help will be healed as we learn to exercise the priesthood of God. 
There is a real battle going on right now. The world would have us believe that there is no other purpose other than to follow our own wills. People suggust that we are to just succomb to the natural man.
 We know that that is false teaching! 
We can stand in holy places. We can reach out to others. We can come to know the real purpose of this life to learn to recognize the spirit. And be taught by the spirit as we attend the temple.
