Questions
Verse 3
- What is the "spirit of prophecy" and "spirit of revelation"? How does fasting and prayer bring that spirit? How does that spirit impute power and authority to gospel teachings? How is obtaining this spirit related to searching the scriptures (vs. 2)? Is scripture study a prerequisite for obtaining the spirit of prophecy and revelation, or does that come more from prayer and fasting?

Verse 2
- Thomas S. Monson, "How Firm a Foundation," Ensign, Nov 2006, pp. 67–68. Elder Monson states: "Spending time each day in scripture study will, without doubt, strengthen our foundations of faith and our testimonies of truth." He also recommends prayer and service to "effectively gain and maintain the foundation needed to survive spiritually in the world in which we live."
