Now
the only safety we have as members of this Church is to do exactly what
the Lord said to the Church in that day when the Church was organized.
We must learn to give heed to the words and commandments that the Lord
shall give through his prophet ... There will be some things that take
patience and faith. You may not like what comes from the authority of
the Church. It may contradict your political views. It may contradict
your social views. It may intefere with some of your social life. But
if you listen to these things, as if from the mouth of the Lord himself,
with patience and faith, the promise is that "the gates of hell
shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the
powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for
your good, and his name's glory." (D&C 21:6)
