After retireing to bed I prayed to the Lord to show me what we should teach the People and I received for answer Let my servants obtain the Holy Ghost & keep my spirit with them & that will instruct them what to teach the people continually & instruct the people to keep my spirit with them & they will be enabled to understand the word of the Lord when it is taught them
