The Holy Ghost

"The gift of the Holy Ghost quickens all the intellectual faculties, increases, enlarges, expands and purifies all the natural passions and affections; and adapts them, by the gift of wisdom, to their lawful use...It inspires virtue, kindness, goodness, tenderness, gentleness and charity. It develops beauty of person, form and features...It invigorates all the faculties of the physical and intellectual man. It strengthens, and gives tone to the nerves. In short, it is, as it were, marrow to the bone, joy to the heart, light to the eyes, music to the ears, and life to the whole being." ---Parley P. Pratt

The Bible Dictionary states: "The power can come upon one before baptism, and is the convincing witness that the gospel is true. It gives one a testimony of Jesus Christ and of his work and of the work of his servants upon the earth....the gift of the Holy Ghost is the right to have, whenever one is worthy...When a person speaks by the power of the Holy Ghost that same power carries a conviction of the truth into the heart of the hearer...the Holy Ghost knows all things and can lead one to know of future events...Comforter"
