Asking inspired questions

TISW has some things about asking inspired questions. I want to apply the suggestions to my own personal learning, like the talk in Sunday taught me about. So here are some:

Ask questions (to myself) that give me a chance to bear my testimony.

Ask myself questions that encourage self-evaluation. Like when Jesus was asking Peter if he loved Him, and He asked Peter three times, Peter realizes on the last time that God knows all things and the point of Jesus's asking was for Peter to know the answer for himself, the real answer. And that that he needed to reflect on what that real answer was.

Anger

Matt 5:22 says whoever is angry with his brother is if danger of judgment. The footnotes take you to Proverbs 29:22 where it says that a man's pride shall bring him low and that an angry man stirreth up strife and the furious man abounds in transgressions. Then that leads to Ecclesiastes 7:9, which says that anger rests in the bosom of fools.

Anger just isnt a good thing and there really isn't an excuse for it.

Bridle your passions and be filled with love

Alma 38:12 is just such an interesting scripture. It seems contradictory, to mortal perceptions, because it says bridling what some consider to be love gets you more love. But the loves are different loves. When we become masters of ourselves, we become vessels clean enough for the real kind of love and passion: charity. I want to think about this. What passions do I need to work on bridling? Anything that stands in the way of God. Anything that puts me first. Anything that reflects the natural man. Anything that isn't inspired or supported by the Spirit.

Jesus Christ my center

Is Jesus Christ my center? Is His Atonement the center of everything i do and say and think?

She talks about Mortal perception and spiritual perception. Mortal perception is something that causes learning bit by bit every day right now. I want to remember to teach him to observe his spiritual perception and to be in tune with it, since that is where real truth and stability and happiness will come in his life.

"It is only the limitations of our mortal perceptions that give us this illusion of isolation from God. As soon as we embrace our spiritual way of knowing, we find that God is as close to us as we allow Him to be, and His communication with us is constant."

"Because our concrete physicality tends to predominate, we are constantly reminded to take time away from our busy mortal activities so that we can develop our skills in spiritual perception. We gain this spiritual training by immersing ourselves in engaged Church activity, temple attendance, scripture study, and sincere personal prayer."

Teach by example.

I felt a spiritual rebuking recently regarding how I talk about people and also my language in general. The natural man and me as a rapper mouth compared to what I want to be, and also a somewhat cynical point of view toward people. I would much rather be positive to be around, and that takes effort. I don't want to suppress my feelings but I want to redirect Energies to lift others instead. And I also want to be a good example and conversation and word and deed. I think this will become more important in my life as my kids get older and as I have different callings.
