We Follow a Living Prophet

What is aPROPHET?

ProphetAs members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we are blessed

to be led by living prophets—inspired men called to speak for the

Lord, as did Moses, Isaiah, Peter, Paul, Nephi, Mormon, and other

prophets of the scriptures.

We sustain the President of the Church as prophet, seer,

and revelator—the only person on the earth who

receives revelation to guide the entire Church. We also

sustain the counselors in the First Presidency and the

members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as prophets,

seers, and revelators.
