SECTION 2:

Also,  throughout the week write down who you believe that the Holy Ghost is and what His role is in God’s plan for the ages, such as how the Holy Spirit moves, works, operates, and etc.  FEEL FREE TO WRITE DOWN ANYTHING CONCERNING THE HOLY GHOST.

PERSONAL ADVICE:  KEEP A NOTEBOOK HANDY AT ALL TIMES DURING EVERY CHURCH SERVICE TO WRITE DOWN THOUGHTS, QUESTIONS, VERSES, ANYTHING THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT BRINGS TO OUR MINDS.  THESE CAN BE HELPFUL RESOURCES FOR FUTURE PERSONAL STUDIES AND APPLICATIONS.  SOMETIMES GOD BRINGS THINGS TO OUR MINDS DURING CHURCH THAT HE EXPECTS US TO LEAN UPON IN TIMES OF ATTACK.
