“Remember that that which cometh from above is sacred, and must be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit, and in this there is no condemnation, and ye receive the Spirit through prayer; wherefore, without this there remaineth condemnation.” (Doc. & Cov., Sec. 63:64.)
“The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth;
“Yea, a voice crying—Prepare
ye the way of the Lord, prepare ye the
supper of the Lamb, make ready for
the Bridegroom;
“Pray unto the Lord, call
upon his holy name, make known his
wonderful works among the people;
“Call upon the Lord, that his kingdom may go forth upon the earth, that the inhabitants thereof may receive it, and be prepared for the days to come, in the which the Son of man shall come down in heaven, clothed in the brightness of his glory, to meet the kingdom of God which is set up on the earth;
“Wherefore may the kingdom of God go forth, that the kingdom of heaven may come, that thou, O God, mayest be glorified in heaven so on earth, that thy enemies may be subdued; for thine is the honor, power and glory, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Doc. & Cov., Sec. 65:2-6.)
“Watch and pray, that ye enter
not into temptation: the Spirit indeed
is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
(Matt. 26:42.)
The following incidents were related by a member of the B.Y.U. Course and are typical of scores of others available for this lesson:
Brother Hunter’s Account
of the Manifestation of the Successor to
the Prophet Joseph
“There was a great deal of discussion among the brethren and sisters as to who should lead the Church; some thought it should be the Prophet’s son; some, one of his counselors, and some the President of the Quorum of the Twelve. I was at a loss to come to any conclusion. It worried me considerably and I prayed earnestly that God would make known to me who it should be, but without avail.
“I went to the meeting that had been called and listened thoughtfully to what was said and done. The longer I listened the more mystified I became. I bowed my head in my hands and prayed for God to give me understanding. While I was in this attitude, Brother Brigham arose to speak, I suppose. I heard a voice—the Prophet’s voice as natural and true as I ever heard it. I raised up quickly, fully expecting to see the Prophet, and I did. There he stood and there he spoke. I listened breathlessly. The form of the Prophet gradually changed to that of Brother Brigham, but the voice was not Brother Brigham’s. It was still the Prophet’s. Then beside Brother Brigham I saw the Prophet, who turned toward the speaker and smiled. My heart beat rapidly with joy and I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that Brother Brigham was called of God to lead the Church.”
