I find it very interesting that we don't have any record showing Captain Moroni talking with a member of the Godhead similar to how we see Nephi talk with the Holy Ghost or Enos talking with the Lord. And yet, Captain Moroni got answers from God. He understood them and took appropriate action.
In Alma 43:16 we have the first mention of Moroni being the captain of all the armies of the Nephites and in verse 17 it mentions that he was only 25 years old. The use of the word only too me implies that it was unusual for a 25 year old to be in charge of all the armies of the Nephites.
In Alma 43:19-20 we read that Moroni had prepared his soldiers with breastplates, arm-shields, shields to defend their heads, and wearing thick clothing and that the Lamanite army only wore loincloths. This in itself demonstrates Moroni's ability to think and implement new ways to protect and defend the Nephites. It is my opinion that Moroni received inspiration that he should prepare his soldiers this way. He did this after the last dissenters went to the Lamanites and before the current Lamanite army arrived. The Lamanites who had Nephite dissenters leading them had no idea the Nephite army would be wearing armor and because of this they retreated rather than fight.
Captain Moroni stayed in tune with spiritual matters as well as temporal matters both are demonstrated by the following two scriptures found in the Book of Mormon in Alma chapter 43.
"1 And now it came to pass that the sons of Alma did go forth among the people, to declare the word unto them. And Alma, also, himself, could not rest, and he also went forth."
"23 But it came to pass, as soon as they had departed into the wilderness Moroni sent spies into the wilderness to watch their camp; and Moroni, also, knowing of the prophecies of Alma, sent certain men unto him desiring him that he should inquire of the Lord whither the armies of the Nephites should go to defend themselves against the Lamanites."
Moroni had faith that if he sent someone to ask Alma where the Nephite army should go to defend the Nephites that Alma would give him the answer. Moroni had no doubt he would get an answer and so he did get it. Furthermore, Alma was on a mission to preach the gospel and yet there is no mention of Moroni's men having trouble finding him. Too me this means that Moroni knew where Alma was. He was smart enough to know he might need Alma's help and so made sure he knew where in all the cities of the Nephites Alma was or most likely would be. He didn't have time to make mistakes as the armies of the Lamanites were already on the move to where they would try and attack next.
It is quite likely that strategies he used came from hours of pondering and that because of this and his righteousness many ideas came to him through inspiration. And thus in this occasion he was ready to use a strategy to surround the Lamanites and defeat them.
After they left Moroni did not sit around idly waiting for the Lamanites to come again. Again I believe he was inspired on how to build defenses around the cities and through much pondering based on the above mentioned battle he had a pretty good idea that the Lamanites would retreat after seeing the new defenses and so the second place he figured they would go he prepared better than the first.
Here are segments of Alma chapter 48 that describe some of the new defenses and how the Lamanites reacted.
"4 ...the Nephites had dug up a ridge of earth round about them, which was so high that the Lamanites could not cast their stones and their arrows at them that they might take effect, neither could they come upon them save it was by their place of entrance."
In verse 6 we read that the Lamanites had a numerous army and had copied the Nephites and were now wearing armor just like the Nephites. And so the Lamanites had thought they would be able to do whatever they wanted.
"7 But behold, to their uttermost astonishment, they (the Nephites) were prepared for them, in a manner which never had been known among the children of Lehi. Now they were prepared for the Lamanites, to battle after the manner of the instructions of Moroni."
It is possible that Moroni had access to records that may have described fortifications and army and tactics but that assumes that such was brought by Lehi and his family when they left Jerusalem. I believe any such record, such as the brass plates and/or the plates of Nephi, simply talked about such things without giving detail about how they were made and the Lamanites were unlikely to know anything about that unless Laman or Lemuel had bothered to tell them which they probably did not.
And so the armies of the Lamanites retreated when they saw how Moroni had fortified the city of Ammonihah. It must not have occurred to the Lamanites that Moroni would expend the same amount if not more effort to prepare all the Nephite cities with the same fortifications and so the Lamanites went to the next city they thought would be easy to take, the city of Noah.
Moroni, in addition to making the fortifications at Noah better than at Ammonihah did something else to help this city. He stationed Lehi to command all the soldiers in the city of Noah. In verse 16 -17 we see the wisdom in this.
"16 And behold, Moroni had appointed Lehi to be chief captain over the men of that city; and it was that same Lehi who fought with the Lamanites in the valley on the east of the river Sidon."
"17 And now behold it came to pass, that when the Lamanites had found that Lehi commanded the city they were again disappointed for they feared Lehi exceedingly..."
This act demoralized the Lamanites and at the same time bolstered the courage of the troops in the city of Noah. Obviously the Lamanites that Moroni allowed to leave with an oath of peace after the battle in the valley near the river Sidon had not only spoken about Moroni but also Lehi. And the Nephites in the city of Noah would surely know that they were commanded by a leader, Lehi, who had fought and defeated a huge Lamanite army. They knew he would do the same again.
All of the above examples to me show and go beyond the words in the scriptures that describe Moroni. These things show that Captain Moroni trusted in the Lord, he knew how to get answers when he needed them, and he never hesitated to use the information once he got it. On numerous occasions Captain Moroni received inspiration and he even sought Alma, the prophet, for help in getting knowledge to help him defend the Nephites. I would be perfectly happy with such means of communication which I do get from time to time, if I could always understand such divine messages.

Pondering The Scriptures
I find it very interesting that some of the greatest revelations come while a person is pondering something that is of interest to them.
One example is Nephi after he listened to his father Lehi tell about his vision of the tree of live. In 1 Nephi 10:17 this is how Nephi described his reaction:
"17 And it came to pass after I, Nephi, having heard all the words of my father, concerning the things which he saw in a vision, and also the things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost, which power he received by faith on the Son of God - and the Son of God was the Messiah who should come - I Nephi, was desirous also that I might see, and hear, and know of these things, by the power of the Holy Ghost, which is the gift of God unto all those who diligently seek him, as well in times of old as in the time that he should manifest himself unto the children of men."
Here Nephi makes it clear that it is through the power of the Holy Ghost that he can learn these things. Too me, this also means that you, I, and all here on the earth can learn these things through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Nephi has already had some wonderful spiritual experiences up to this point. I wonder if he had any idea what was going to happen next. He doesn't seem surprised at the next events or if he was surprised he simply didn't write that he was. In 1 Nephi 11:1-3 we read:
"1 For it came to pass after I had desired to know the things that my father had seen, and believing that the Lord was able to make them known unto me, as I sat pondering in mine heart I was caught away in the Spirit of the Lord, yea, into an exceedingly high mountain, which I never had before seen, and upon which I never had before set my foot.
2 And the Spirit said unto me: Behold, what desirest thou?
3 And I said: I desire to behold the things which my father saw."
Did Nephi have any idea that he would see and talk with the Holy Ghost? I suspect he did not. In any case he actually saw and learned more than his father Lehi since there is no record of the Holy Ghost appearing to Lehi nor as far as I know to anyone else.
From this and other scriptural accounts I have learned that one of the keys to receiving revelations from God, or to put it in other words, one way to receive marvelous messages is to ponder upon something that is important to you.
I wonder how long and how intense were the desires of Nephi. I have pondered many things related to the gospel and to Jesus and yet have not had so wondrous an experience. I know that such things can happen to me but don't expect them to. In fact I would be quite satisfied to simply understand answers to my prayers more often even if those answers were simple impressions. But, since such simple ways of answering my prayers don't come this drives me forward to learn more about how to get clearer communications coming from the Godhead to me.

Mighty Change In Your Heart
I enjoy very much the words of Alma the younger found in the Book of Mormon in Alma chapter 5. I've often read and pondered upon his words. Here I will share some of my favorite versus from this chapter.
First, verse 14:
"14 And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?"
Have you spiritually been born of God? This question is strongly linked to another question in this verse. Have you experienced this mighty change in your hearts? Every person who is spiritually born of God will experience a mighty change of heart. The change is so great that this person will have no more desire to do evil but to only do good continually.
It does not mean the person is perfect and will never make mistakes. It doesn't even mean that others observing their actions won't see actions that appear to be evil in nature.
I will use an example from my imperfect life to illustrate this point. I am divorced. My children's mom asks me for favors that I am not comfortable with because there are certain things about her and me that have not changed. One of those is that when we are together we end up arguing about one thing or another. It isn't that I want to argue but I have to say something when she tries to do something that I don't agree with. I am not trying to hurt her, not to do evil to her, although I quite likely am, and to an observer some of my decisions may seem cruel, vengeful, and evil. So, I tend to avoid talking with her and interacting with her because I believe it is best to avoid arguments.
One specific example is she asked if she could come over to my house on the 25th of December so that she can chat with our oldest son Willem via Skype. She says she does not have Internet at her place. I told her no because I know there will be arguments and/or she will say things about a lack of cleanliness in my house and try to engage me in conversations of how to raise our children. I am past wanting to hear her comments about things she does not approve of. In all my experience nothing I ever did was good enough for her. Our views on raising our children are diametrically different. And so I told her no because our children, and myself, and her don't need all of those problems. I do not deny her this chance out of malice nor with the intent to deprive her of the opportunity of talking with Willem. We only get two per year during his two year mission. People who don't know the entire situation might see me as being mean. I even suggested to her that she could go to McDonalds or somewhere else where free WiFi is available and use her lap top.
Because I know I have no desire to do evil to her or to anyone else for that matter that I have been born of God and have experienced a mighty change of heart.
The question in the middle of this verse is very interesting. Alma asks, Have ye received his image in your countenances? I believe that there are those that are observant enough that they can tell the difference between someone who has been born of God and those that have not. I am not one of those people, at least not that I know of. I have read stories and heard about people who said they could tell their was something different about a certain person. I believe what they notice is the image of God in the countenance of the person they observe to be different in a good way. I believe I have this countenance and because I do have it and have had it for a long time this is the reason people often remember my name when I don't remember them and this is also the reason I can easily befriend almost any child. The children can tell, always.
Then with verse 26 Alma asks another interesting question.
"26 And now behold, I say unto you my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?"
He asks can you feel this now. I think this question refers not only to the song of redeeming love but also about the change of heart. This tells me that this change of heart should remain with us always and also that this change of heart can be lost and so we must carefully ensure that we never lose this change of heart.
First, verse 14:
"14 And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?"
Have you spiritually been born of God? This question is strongly linked to another question in this verse. Have you experienced this mighty change in your hearts? Every person who is spiritually born of God will experience a mighty change of heart. The change is so great that this person will have no more desire to do evil but to only do good continually.

The Book of Enos in the Book of Mormon (Perfect Communication With Godhead)
In the Book of Mormon is found in the Book of Enos the powerful example of Enos communicating with Jesus Christ. I have studied a lot over the past few months. This week in Pathway the reading assignment included the Book of Enos. Here are things I have understood from Enos during this time and including this week.
I am particularly interested in Enos' experience because I am working to improve my understanding of answers to my prayers and other messages from the Godhead. While I don't expect to have an experience like Enos I also don't rule out the possibility.
I will start with Enos 1:1-4
"1 Behold, it came to pass that I, Enos, knowing my father that he was a just man - for he taught me in his language, and also in the nurture and admonition of the Lord - and blessed be the name of my God for it -
2 And I will tell you of the wrestle which I had before God, before I received a remission of my sins.
3 Behold, I went to hunt beasts in the forest; and the words which I had often heard my father speak concerning eternal life, and the joy of the saints, sunk deep into my heart.
4 And my soul hungered; and I kneeled down before my Maker, and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplications for mine own soul; and all the day long did I cry unto him; yea, and when the night came I did still raise my voice high that it reached the heavens."
Among the things I learn from this is that Enos had a good father who taught him about Jesus Christ. At this time he was reflecting upon things his father had taught him and his sins. Enos felt a great weight because of his sins. It seems to me that these sins were not of the nature of him persecuting the righteous but more of the kind that kept him from a joy he earnestly desired and lacked. His sins were unsettling him as his mind dwelled upon them and this had become so great that he felt a need to do something about them.
Remembering what he was taught he kneeled down and prayed. It is here that I visualize his actions and as I do I see a man praying as the sun goes over him and sets. I fail to see him pause for anything. This tells me that in addition to praying he was very likely fasting.
The next verse becomes very interesting.
"5 And there came a voice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed."
What interests me so much is how Enos progressed from his sinful state to be blessed to hear Jesus speaking to him. I wish we had the words of his prayer. In any case I believe that his fasting helped to prepare him.
As I read more I see that Enos had a conversation with Jesus.
"6 And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away.
7 And I said: Lord, how is it done?
8 And he said unto me: Because of they faith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. ..."
There is much more to be learned by studying his various conversations with Jesus. But I will end now with this one which clarifies how the above communication took place.
"10 And while I was thus struggling in the spirit, behold the voice of the Lord came into my mind again..."
Here we learn that Enos was hearing Jesus speak to him in his mind. I am convinced this was not him having a conversation with himself as if he were two people as sometimes people do. Enos in fact conversed with Jesus, hearing his voice in his head. I seek to understand how much faith played a role in this and how much if any fasting did and anything else that brought him to this pivital moment in his life. I believe that understanding this could improve my understanding of communications from the Godhead.
What else do you think helped Enos to have the experiences he had?

Purpose Of This Blog
The purpose of this blog is to learn truths about God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost, the gospel, and the things written in the scriptures. I make it public to share what I learn with others and to include others of similar beliefs so that they can learn and contribute with me.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Often referred to as Mormons or LDS. I accept the Bible (I use the King James Version), the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price as scriptures and will quote from them. I also accept the words of latter-day prophets, apostles, and other general authorities as containing the word of God to us in our day. I know that there are other sources of truth which include other ancient records and personal revelation that is available.
I have the gift of the Holy Ghost and have years of practice discerning when He is confirming truths to me. I always feel such confirmation when reading or listening to the above mentioned scriptures. Truths that are shared here that come from other sources the Holy Ghost will also confirm to me. This then will be my guide as I post to this blog.
There are those who do not share my beliefs and while I will do my best to respect the beliefs of others I will not have my blog posts here become a place of contention nor allow comments that can destroy the beliefs of others. As such if I feel a contribution impedes my efforts to learn and share I will delete it. I will delete contributions that contain links. This is a place to share what you know and have learned not what others have placed on the Internet. Nor is it a place for self promotion.
If you are sharing specific scriptures please site the book, chapter, and verse and the source where it came from. If any who read it or want to confirm what is there they can search the web. No link should be posted.
Here are some examples of comments that I will delete:
If you comment that Jesus Christ was not the son of God I will delete that. This is not the place to debate this. I know he is the son of God. Here on these posts I intend to discuss his attributes and get to know Him better.
If you say that God does not exist I will delete that comment. This is not the place to discuss that. I know that He does exist.
Comments that put down the Church I am a member of, or its doctrines and policies, or the latter-day prophets will be deleted. This is not the place for those disaffected from the Church to post your anger or frustrations. I have learned for myself that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true and was restored by God through the prophet Joseph Smith.
In this blog I intend to post questions about doctrine, principles, and possibly policies of the Church. This is not because I am trying to disprove any of them but because I am seeking to understand them better and at the time I post them I do not understand them to my satisfaction.
I welcome all seekers of truth to join me here as we learn together the mysteries of God.
