I love General Conference. I love getting messages from God. Amos 3:7 says: "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." (but- footnote, until)
This time of year is exactly when I personally need God instruction from His prophets. In order to get the most out of General Conference this year I am going to use these steps. I hope that you can follow them with me.
1) Prayer
Pray for the speakers that they will be inspired in what they say and have your heart receptive to the messages they give.
2) Make a List
Make a list of areas that I am struggling in or look for greater understanding in certain principles.
3) Get a Good Nights Rest
Sometimes it can be hard to sit and listen to conference. Get a good nights rest on Friday and Saturday night. This way you can be alert and ready to here the prophets instructions to you. These instructions are from the Lord. I would defiantly get a good nights rest if the Lord was coming to speak to me!
4) Take Notes
The talks will come out in the Ensign, but if you take notes it is a great way to stay awake and put your own personal insights on what has been said.
How can you apply this to your life?
This talk reminds me of....
I am going to try and improve in this area. etc....
I hope that this helps you. Have an amazing conference!
