Pres. Russell M. Nelson, “The Price of
Priesthood Power,” April 2016
I urgently plead with
each one of us to live up to our privileges as bearers of the priesthood. In a
coming day, only those men who have taken their priesthood
seriously, by diligently seeking to be taught by the Lord
Himself, will be able to bless, guide, protect, strengthen, and heal others.
Only a man who has paid the price for priesthood power will be able to bring
miracles to those he loves and keep his marriage and family safe, now and
throughout eternity.
President
Boyd K. Packer, “The Power of the Priesthood,” April 2010
He said, “Now, fathers, I would
remind you of the sacred nature of your calling. You have the power of the
priesthood directly from the Lord to protect your home. There will be
times when all that stands as a shield between your family and the adversary’s
mischief will be that power.”
