There is order in the way the Lord reveals
His will to mankind.
We all have the right to petition the Lord
and receive inspiration through His Spirit
within the realm of our own stewardship.
Parents can receive revelation for their own family, a bishop
for his assigned congregation, on up to the First Presidency
for the entire Church.
However, we cannot receive revelation for someone
else's stewardship.
The Prophet Joseph Smith declared,
"It is contrary to the economy of God
for any member of the Church, or any one,
to receive instruction for those in authority,
higher than themselves." "Revelations of the mind
and will of God to the Church, are
to come through the [First] Presidency.
This is the order of heaven."
