Powers of Heaven

July 27th, 2009

Hopefully all men in the Church who hold the priesthood know and understand what that really implies.

“The rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon principles of righteousness. … They may be conferred upon us, it is true, but when we undertake to cover our sins or to gratify our pride, … behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or to the authority of that man.”

D&C 121:36-37

And what is a without the priesthood, that God-given authority and power? “… Behold, he is left unto himself.” (v. 38)
