Joseph Smith cared enough about us to come back and tell Brigham Young to keep us on the straight and narrow. I love learning about the Holy Ghost. It is the most wonderful gift in the world. I only hope I can live my life so I am worthy to receive this blessing.
Several years after the Prophet Joseph Smith was killed, he appeared to President Brigham Young and said: “Tell the people to . . . keep the Spirit of the Lord and it will lead them right. . . the small still voice . . . will teach [you what] to do and where to go; . . . Tell the brethren to keep their hearts open . . . so that when the Holy Ghost comes to them, their hearts will be ready to receive it. They can tell the Spirit of the Lord from all other spirits. It will whisper peace and joy to their souls, . . . and their whole desire will be to do good. . . if they will follow the Spirit of the Lord they will go right” (Teachings: Joseph Smith, 98).
I looked in my copy of "Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith (smith) on page 98, but did not find this quote. What's up?
ReplyDeleteIf you google "In February 1847 Joseph Smith appeared to Brigham Young in a dream" It was notated as - Brigham Young, vision, Feb. 17, 1847, in Brigham Young Office Files, 1832–1878, Archives of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah; spelling, punctuation, and capitalization modernized.
