Today I would simply like to share with you my witness that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God. It’s true that most of my life President Monson has been in the first presidency of the church.
I have heard him give hundreds of sermons and talks sharing his special apostolic witness that Jesus is the Christ. He has shared story after story that have invoked the Spirit of the Lord into my life.
Most of his Stories have to do with expirences he has had while serving others. He is quick to follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
I knew that Thomas S. Monson was a prophet of God before he was called to be the president of the church.
However, during the General Conference held just after President Monson was called, I could see a transformation in President Monson. The mantle had surely been passed on to him. To me, it looked like he had been through some experience that had illuminated him even more.
This wasn’t an experience that made me know he was a prophet, I already knew that. But instead it was a conformation of what I already knew.
The very same keys that our Savior Jesus Christ gave to Peter are on the earth today. They are in the capable hands of the Prophet Thomas S. Monson.
I testify that God speaks through president Monson. I know that he is an instrument in the hands of the Lord to guide and move the work of the Lord forward.
May the Lord bless President Monson. May He bless you with your own witness that Thomas S. Monson is the Lords oracal on the earth today.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
