The Lord restored his kingdom in these days, with all its gifts and powers and blessings. Any church that you know of may possibly be able to take you for a long ride, and bring you some degree of peace and happiness and blessing, and they can carry you to the veil and there they drop you. The Church of Jesus Christ picks you up on this side of the veil and, if you live its commandments, carries you right through the veil as though it weren’t there and on through the eternities to exaltation.
President Spencer W. Kimball

One of the Ways that Christ’s Atonement continues to support and sustain us is through the continuous flow of His words and counsel through His prophets and apostles. As Elder Jeffrey R. Holland has said, “His words never cease.” (see video below)
I have previously posted about the increasing number of times that the Atonement has been mentioned in recent General Conference addresses.
One of the most wonderful testimonies of the steady and unceasing flow of revelation from heaven was given by President Spencer W. Kimball:
Expecting the spectacular, one may not be fully alerted to the constant flow of revealed communication. I say, in the deepest of humility, but also by the power and force of a burning testimony in my soul, that from the prophet of the Restoration to the prophet of our own year, the communication line is unbroken, the authority is continuous, a light, brilliant and penetrating, continues to shine. The sound of the voice of the Lord is a continuous melody and a thunderous appeal. For nearly a century and a half there has been no interruption.
Spencer W. Kimball, “Revelation: The Word of the Lord to His Prophets,” Ensign, May 1977, 76
Elder Holland provided a powerful testimony of continuing revelation in the following video:
