  1. President Russell M. Nelson recently invited the students at Brigham Young University to have the same personal revelatory experience: “Ask your Heavenly Father if we truly are the Lord’s apostles and prophets. Ask if we have received revelation on this and other matters” (“The Love and Laws of God” [Brigham Young University devotional, Sept. 17, 2019], speeches.byu.edu). See also Neil L. Andersen, “The Prophet of God,” Liahona, May 2018, 26–27: “We have the privilege as Latter-day Saints to receive a personal witness that President Nelson’s call is from God.” The story of Alma’s conversion from listening to the prophet Abinadi provides further evidence that revelation concerning a prophet is available to all of us (see Mosiah 13:5; 17:2).

  2. “We either have a prophet or we have nothing; and having a prophet, we have everything” (Gordon B. Hinckley, “We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet,” Ensign, Jan. 1974, 122).

  3. “They began to disbelieve in the spirit of prophecy and in the spirit of revelation; and the judgments of God did stare them in the face” (Helaman 4:23; see also Doctrine and Covenants 11:25). “We sing and have done so constantly, ‘We thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet to guide us in these latter days.’ There are a great many who [ought to] put a postscript to that and say: ‘Provided he guides us to suit our own fancies and our own whims’” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant [2002], 80).

  4. “Sometimes we will receive counsel that we cannot understand or that seems not to apply to us, even after careful prayer and thought. Don’t discard the counsel, but hold it close. If someone you trusted handed you what appeared to be nothing more than sand with the promise that it contained gold, you might wisely hold it in your hand awhile, shaking it gently. Every time I have done that with counsel from a prophet, after a time the gold flakes have begun to appear and I have been grateful” (Henry B. Eyring, “Finding Safety in Counsel,” Ensign, May 1997, 26; see also 3 Nephi 1:13; Doctrine and Covenants 1:14).

  5. See 2 Nephi 9:10–12 Shí dóó shizhé’é, dóó ałdó’ t’áá ałtso bilą́ąjį’ nda’asdzo yę́ę, éí hait’áo da ndaʼiyeelzíʼígíí, t’áadoo biniinaa nihik’ijį’ yádaałti’í; ndi Diyin God éí bich’į’ ahééh danohsin háálá nda’siyiilzi’ígíí nihił ííshją́ą́ áyiilaa, binahjį’ éí nihiláahdi hódzą́ bídahwiidooł’ááł (Mormon 9:31).

  13. “For behold, they have rejected the words of the prophets. Wherefore, if my father should dwell in the land after he hath been commanded to flee out of the land, behold, he would also perish” (1 Nephi 3:18; see also 2 Nephi 26:3; Doctrine and Covenants 90:5).

  16. “Keep your eye upon those who preside in the Church today, or tomorrow, and pattern your life after them rather than to dwell upon how ancient prophets may have looked or thought or spoken” (The Teachings of Harold B. Lee [1996], 525).

  17. President Spencer W. Kimball once observed that “they who garnish the sepulchers of the dead prophets begin now by stoning the living ones” (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball (1982), 439. “The most important words we can hear, ponder, and follow are those revealed through our living prophet” (Ronald A. Rasband, “The Things of My Soul,” Liahona, Nov. 2021, 40).

  18. “When we hear the counsel of the Lord expressed through the words of the President of the Church, our response should be positive and prompt” (M. Russell Ballard, His Word Ye Shall Receive,” Liahona, July 2001, 65).

  19. Jesus Christ biNahagha’ t’áá nléídą́ą́’ bá yadaałti’í dóó bá naazíi dayééłyeed. Though mortal and subject to human imperfection, the Lord’s servants are inspired to help us avoid obstacles that are spiritually life threatening and to help us pass safely through mortality to our final, ultimate, heavenly destination” (M. Russell Ballard, “God Is at the Helm,” Liahona, Nov. 2015, 24).

Bruce R. McConkie [1998], 243).
