Spirit Present in Church; Constantly Showing Us It's True

Jesus talks to his disciples about the Holy Ghost during his last night with them. He mentions that the world will not be able to see the Holy Ghost, and thus won't believe in it. However, the Saints will have Him with them and will thus believe in Him.

Last week we had a co-worker over and talked about how we know the church is true because of the things we feel. I said, "if you'll live like a Mormon for a month, you'll know it's true too." That's very accurate. It's because living correctly will bless someone with the Spirit, which is felt not seen. That's why it's so hard to believe without following the commandments. You can't see the Spirit. He must come upon you, which happens through faith and obedience and a desire to know.

Here's the verses in John 14:

15 ¶If ye alove me, bkeep my ccommandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you anotheraComforter, that he may babide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
