- “…a year later I decided to go early to the seminar room where we held class on campus. I had some reading to catch up on, and so I arrived about an hour before starting time. I was only five minutes into my reading when the door opened and four of my fellow students (at Florida St) entered. “Hi Bob. What are you doing here so early?” they asked. I explained that I had come to do some reading, and they nodded. In a few minutes on young man, a Roman Catholic, said, “Bob, I know you need to get your work done, but could I ask you a favor? Would you be willing to take a few minutes and sketch out on the blackboard for us how the Mormons understand the purpose of life? I mean, what’s life all about? What happens when we die? Stuff like that.” It was one of many times that I have felt the quiet whisperings of the Spirit to the effect that this scene was no accident, that he who knows all things had orchestrated the day and the time and had stirred the interest. Most of the hour was spent in wonderful, thoughtful conversation. It was a momentous missionary experience.” (Men of Influence, 17-18)
- [The Holy Ghost] quickens all the intellectual faculties; increases, enlarges, expands and purifies all the natural passions and affections; and adapts them, by the gift of wisdom, to their lawful use…. It inspires virtue, kindness and charity. It develops and invigorates all the faculties of the physical and intellectual man. It strengthens, invigorates, and gives tone to the nerves. In short, it is, as it were, marrow to the bone, joy to the heart, light to the eyes, music to the ears, and life to the whole being.” (Parley P. Pratt, Key to the Science of Theology [1978], 101-102)
- Doctrine and Covenants, Section 121:46… The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever.
- “President Thomas S. Monson has taught, “One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final.” 8 Even if we’ve been a conscious, deliberate sinner or have repeatedly faced failure and disappointment, the moment we decide to try again, the Atonement of Christ can help us. And we need to remember that it is not the Holy Ghost that tells us we’re so far gone that we might as well give up.” Dale G. Renlund, April 2015 General Conference
- Mosiah 2:36 -37… 36 And now, I say unto you, my brethren, that after ye have known and have been taught all these things, if ye should transgress and go contrary to that which has been spoken, that ye do withdraw yourselves from the Spirit of the Lord, that it may have no place in you to guide you in wisdom’s paths that ye may be blessed, prospered, and preserved— 37 I say unto you, that the man that doeth this, the same cometh out in open rebellion against God; therefore he listeth to obey the evil spirit, and becometh an enemy to all righteousness; therefore, the Lord has no place in him, for he dwelleth not in unholy temples
- D&C 8:1 -2…1 Oliver Cowdery, verily, verily, I say unto you, that assuredly as the Lord liveth, who is your God and your Redeemer, even so surely shall you receive a knowledge of whatsoever things you shall ask in faith, with an honest heart, believing that you shall receive a knowledge concerning the engravings of old records, which are ancient, which contain those parts of my scripture of which has been spoken by the manifestation of my Spirit. 2 Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
- Words of Mormon 1:7… And I do this for a wise purpose; for thus it whispereth me, according to the workings of the Spirit of the Lord which is in me. And now, I do not know all things; but the Lord knoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he worketh in me to do according to his will.
- “ September 20th, 1994 – Tuesday….Today was a learning experience. I woke up feeling super empty. I felt homesick, I felt like crying & very weird & confused. After 2 ½ months of feeling the Spirit I know when it isn’t with me. And this morning it wasn’t. I tried to push it back & just get to work. We visited a few members and gave a charla for New Members to a young girl. It went well. We came home & on the way home Elder Salazar mentioned that he felt the same way (empty, no enthusiasm). We got into the house & it was super strong. I could feel it was Satan. So we prayed and cast Satan out of our presence. We ate at the Mamitas, then went & visited some inactives (we invited them to church). We then ran into an old man who had been walking since morning looking for his son. His son never visited him so he took a cab to a part of Puyo, and then walked since morning. We bought him a soda & sat him down in the shade. We walked him until we found out where his son lived. His grandson came & got him. I felt so good serving this man. I felt like a peculiar person because of taking time to serve him. A lot of people looked at us like we were wasting our time but we weren’t. We were serving this helpless old man who could barely walk. The poor man was tired & it was hot. I wanted to carry him but figured that would be a little uncomfortable for us both. After serving this man I had the Spirit back with me in a snap. I’ve learned that Service will bring the true love of Christ at any time!”- Missionary Journal of Clinton Brown
- March 12th, 1995 – Sunday. Quito, Ecuador …”Satan and his angels blind us, confuse us, and give us a feeling of emptiness. The air around us feels dry and creepy, and Satan tries to give you feelings of comfort. Bologna! The Spirit on the other hand is the opposite. A feeling of surety, of comfort, and of love. When you’re in a room, you don’t feel alone but you have no worries or confusion.” – Clinton Brown Missionary Journal
- D&C 121:46…The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever.
- “We must never forget that the Lord is not only aided by the Holy Ghost, but by a Holy Host of unseen beings… who help care for the Fathers’ children with loving familial care.” Hugh B. Brown as quoted by Truman Madsen
- “No matter how people refer to [the Spirit], He is a Him. And that means you can have a relationship with Him. You can feel things about Him-and He has feelings about and can have a relationship with you.” Spirit, David Butler
- December 20, 1995 – Wednesday – Quito Ecuador… “Wow. Great day. We taught 8 second charlas today and we committed 4 to be baptized. We’re going to commit the other 4 ya mismo. I’m really seeing the positive side of things. When Satan does something, or something fails, I can recognize it, think, and do the best of the situation. Many times the citas are stood up, so we think of another option – nada, and then another – nada – but we always find someone in the road, or by their house so that we make contact, or take out the referral. The Lord really does guide us to do the things that he wants us to do. I know this is His work, and no one elses. I love being here. It’s so important to be worthy of the Spirit. If not – no success.” – Clinton Brown Missionary Journal
- February 17, 1996 – Saturday – Quito Ecuador… “We decided to go to Oswaldo Melo’s house. We gave him a charla reading the Book of Mormon. We invited him to be baptized. He said he would. We were speaking more about it when he suddenly gasped, and he said that he has a huge desire to be baptized this day, and that his whole body was filled with joy. We helped him to understand that these feelings come from the Holy Ghost. It looks like his partners are going to be stumbling blocks.” – Clinton Brown Missionary Journal
