as the Lord lives you have a great work to perform in your day and one too, that will not only cause your heart to rejoice in bearing testimony of the word of God and the revelations of Jesus Christ and the principles of life and salvation, but it will cause the hearts of tens of thousands of the honest of your fellow men to rejoice and be made glad because of the testimony which you will have power to bear with your words and pen, it will also cause the ears of the wicked to tingle and their hearts to be pierced with much sorrow because of rejecting your testimony and the testimony of others of the servants of God.
~ Wilford Woodruff
And I would exhort you, bro. Gibson to be true and faithful unto the Lord your God, call upon him in mighty prayer, follow the dictates of his holy spirit and his blessings will increase upon you daily, and the spirit of the Lord will be like fire shut up in your bones and your testimony will be strong and powerful before your fellow men and you will be enabled to say of a truth that you would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of God and associate with the Lord's anointed than to partake of all the pleasures that are found in the tents of wickedness.
~ Wilford Woodruff
It is your privilege to constantly enjoy the Holy Ghost — to know the mind and will of God concerning you day by day — to be led by the whisperings of the Holy Spirit in every act of your life. This spirit will reveal to you every snare and trap, or evil of any kind that an enemy, whether it be men or devils shall lay for your feet, and will suggest a way for your escape.
~ Wilford Woodruff
