Here are some quotes I love very much from Awaken on FB:
President Gordon B Hinckley told the women of the church that the spirit of prophecy may be theirs, "as much as so as any man in the world." He also recognized that some women are blessed with added discernment for future events. "Can anyone doubt that many women have a special intuitive sense," he observed, "even a prescient understanding of things to come?" (Ensign, Nov. 1985)
In the early days of the restored church, President Heber C Kimball stressed that reality that this gift is found in more then the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve: "There is not a man or woman in this congregation," he explained, "If they live their religion and have the Holy Ghost upon them, but what are prophets, everyone of them....I wish to God you, brethren and sisters, were all prophets and prophetesses; you may be, if you live your religion; you cannot help yourselves." (Journal of Discourses, 5:88)
Joel 2:28 "I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy."
