Spencer W. Kimball
“
The Lord gave to … every person, a conscience which tells him
every time
he starts to go on the wrong path.
“
You must realize that you have
[a] compass
, like the
Liahona
, in your own system.
… Our
ship will not get on the wrong course … if we listen to the dictates of our own
Liahona
, which we call the conscience
”Slide8
Elder L. Tom Perry
“The
scriptures
tell
of an instance in
which
the
Lord provided help but then stepped aside to allow one of His sons to exercise his own initiative.
You
see, the Lord knew that Nephi could make the tools, and it is seldom the Lord will do something for us that we can do for ourselves

Elder Boyd K. Packer
“
The Holy Ghost communicates with the spirit
through the mind more than through the physical senses. This guidance comes as thoughts, as feelings, through impressions and promptings. It is not always easy to describe inspiration. The scriptures teach us that we may ‘feel’ the words of spiritual communication more than hear them, and see with spiritual rather than with mortal
eyes”Slide15

insurmountablewhen
God commands
