We often seek answers to our questions as they arise in our lives. We want to have expert advice and we don't want to do it by trial and error. God gave Oliver Cowdery counsel on receiving such answers directly from Him through His Spirit.
8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.
9 But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me.
I have received revelation from the Holy Spirit. Answers usually come to me as a feeling rather than words in my mind. I have also had impressions and gentle whispers to my mind in answer to prayer or as a warning. I asked Heavenly Father to tell me if the Book of Mormon is true and if Joseph Smith was a prophet. In my heart, by a warm feeling, I came to know these things are true. I have also received help day to day to know what to do and what to say to my family and to my students.
