Section 50

19 And again, he that receiveth the word of truth, doth he receive it by the Spirit of truth or some other way?
 20 If it be some other way it is not of God.
 21 Therefore, why is it that ye cannot understand and know, that he that receiveth the word by the Spirit of truth receiveth it as it is preached by the Spirit of truth?
 22 Wherefore, he that preacheth and he that receiveth, understand one another, and both are edified and rejoice together.
 23 And that which doth not edify is not of God, and is darkness.
 24 That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.

The Holy Ghost will verify to our minds when something said, felt, read, preached, or taught, is from God.  We are to share the truth one with another.  Such sharing produces edification and joy in both the teacher and the learner.

If we don’t have the Spirit we should not try to teach truth; instead, we should repent and get our lives in order so the Spirit can accompany our words and conversations.

It is my experience that communication done under the influence of the Holy Spirit is wonderful, humbling, exhilarating, peace and joy producing, and powerful.
