Strengthened by the Power of the Holy Ghost

 

“There [is] a certain blessing connected only with obedience to
the gospel, that [is] the gift of the Holy Ghost. . . . The Savior, who undoubtedly knew best about the nature and character of this gift, said it should lead those who received it into all truth and show them things to come [see John 16:13]. It should be more than that spirit which proceeds from God, filling the immensity of space and enlightening every man that comes into the world [see D&C 84:46];
the gift of the Holy Ghost should lead into all truth, and show them
things to come.”

“There is a way by which persons can keep their consciences clear before God and man, and that is to preserve within them the Spirit of God, which is the spirit of revelation to every man and woman. It will reveal to them, even in the simplest of matters, what “It is our right to have the manifestations of the Spirit every day of our lives.” they shall do, by making suggestions to them. We should try to learn the nature of this Spirit, that we may understand its suggestions, and then we will always be able to do right. This is the grand privilege of every Latter-day Saint. We know that it is our right to have the manifestations of the Spirit every day of our lives.”

(From the Life of Lorenzo Snow, Lesson #4.  Lesson taught by Kristy Bateman)
