Hello, my friends. Welcome to another follow him favorites. My name is Hank Smith, and I'm

here with the incredible John, by the way. Welcome, John, by the way.

Thanks, incredible, Hank.

It's awesome to be with you again. We're going to take one question from this week's

lesson. John, we're in Matthew 15, 16, and 17, and in Mark's 7, 8, 9, very similar stories

this week. And our question is, how do I gain a testimony? There's a section in Matthew

chapter 16, Jesus says, what do you think about me? And Peter says, I know that you are the

Christ, the Son of the living God. Then Jesus answers and says, you are awesome, Simon.

Flush and blood hath not revealed it under the, but my father, which is in heaven. And

I think the Savior gave us our key right there, John, that you didn't get it from another

person. You didn't get that information from another person. You got that by revelation

right out of the manual. A testimony of Jesus Christ comes by revelation. What do you have

to add, John?

Yeah, my brother-in-law, Jeff, he teaches seminary, and he uses this formula that Jesus uses.

He'll ask his classes often, okay, what have you heard out there? Because Jesus says,

whom do men say that I am? Okay, but what do you think? And then what is the Lord told

you? Because Simon, you got that from God. I love that it's not even Simon, you got that

from me, Jesus seems to be saying, but you got that from God. And there's so many different

clues in the scriptures of how to gain a testimony. You know, the John 717 verse, if you will

do his will, you will know of the doctrine. And that comes by revelation as well. I hope

that what people take away from this is, yeah, ask and seek and knock and ask God to tell

you. So lots of different clues in the scriptures about how to gain a testimony. I love John 717,
