Principles of Edification and Teaching by the Spirit
Doctrine and Covenants 88:122
122 Appoint among yourselves a teacher, and let not all be spokesmen at once; but let one speak at a time and let all listen unto his sayings, that when all have spoken that all may be edified of all, and that every man may have an equal privilege.
President Wilford Woodruff said:
“I am not capable, nor is any man capable of teaching the children of men and edifying them in the gospel of Jesus Christ without the Holy Spirit, without revelation, without the inspiration of Almighty God. Therefore, I want the faith of the Latter-day Saints, and also their prayers. I need the Spirit of God to assist me, as does every man who attempts to teach the people the things of the kingdom of heaven.”
(Millennial Star, Nov. 21, 1895, 737–38.)
