Alma teaches a lesson about the importance of fasting and prayer. I guess because I was preparing a lesson for the YW about fasting this stood out to me in my reading. After he testifies he asks the question about how he knows these things to be true. He answers that the Holy Spirit of God made them known to him, after he fasted and prayed many days that he might know. I know that the process to know for ourselves is the same for all of us, but not all of us has had a visit from an angel either. What is interesting to me is that Alma doesn't say it is because the angel told him, he talks of his own efforts to fast and pray, for many days, to know. The spirit of revelation is available to me too
