This is a story that @ldsisthetruth sent me. This is his personal story on how he was able to obtain a testimony about this church and why it is the one and only true church.
First off I just want to say thank you to @Latterdayhelp for doing this and for everything he has done for me. A while in the past I was struggling and you helped me. Thank you for that.
A while ago when Thomas S. Monson was alive he said “My dear associates in the work of the Lord, I implore each of us to prayerfully study and ponder the Book of Mormon each day. As we do so, we will be in a position to hear the voice of the Spirit, to resist temptation, to overcome doubt and fear, and to receive heaven’s help in our lives. I so testify with all my heart in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.”
When the prophet at the time said this, I immediately felt as if the prophet was speaking to me. Up until that moment, I didn’t realize that it was a while since I had read the Book of Mormon. As I reflect back to this moment, I can see that my testimony was fading and I am shocked that I didn’t see that was happening to me at the time.
I started to study the Book of Mormon like never before and felt like I needed to take the advice of the prophet. A few months later I came upon the part when Mormon invites us to ask God if the book is correct and true.
I did so and felt nothing. I came to the conclusion at that moment that the church was false and that I had been deceived when out of nowhere, I felt the peace and warmth in my chest as it spread throughout my body. I broke down and wept. I realized at that time that I needed to keep working on my testimony or else I would be lost. I am still very grateful to this day that God was patient enough to almost immediately give me my answer when he could of done it a few hours to days later.
