Send us a textOliver Cowdery was a seeker of truth much like Joseph Smith.  He was a young school teacher that had went to Manchester for some work.  While teaching there, he had heard about Joseph Smith, his visions and the gold plates.  Intrigued by what he heard, he asked to stay with the parents of Joseph Smith so he could learn more.  As time passed, Oliver earned the trust of Joseph Sr. and Lucy.  They told him more and more about their son's experiences and what he was doing.  Oliver felt a strong desire to move to Harmony to find out more.  They encouraged Oliver to pray before deciding.  Oliver did just that and was shown in vision, Joseph Smith and his struggles to complete the translation.  Oliver knew he was to go there and assist Joseph in the Work.  Oliver, being a learned man, was immediately asked to draw up a contract fore Joseph and his father-in-law Isaac Hale to assure Isaac that Joseph would pay for the property he and Emma had received.  Oliver and Joseph went to work on completing the translation.  What can we learn about revelation?  Who is revelation for?  Is it just for the prophets or is it for everyone?  How long does it take to learn how to receive revelation?  Is it days, weeks, months, or years.  President Russell M. Nelson spoke to this in a general conference talk.  Join us as we apply the history of the church and the revelations received to our everyday lives.Support the showThanks for listening!
