We Need Help Remembering

Neal A. Maxwell

What we remember, as well as remembering itself, requires help. (The Promise of Discipleship, p. 99)

Holy Ghost Brings All Things to Our Remembrance

John 14

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Joseph F. Smith

The office and duty of the Holy Ghost is to bring to our remembrance things that are past, to make clear to our understanding things that are present, and to show us things that are to come. ("I Know That My Redeemer Liveth," in Collected Discourses, October 18, 1896, Vol.5)

Neal A. Maxwell

The Holy Ghost will bring all things to our remembrance, especially the words of Jesus or about him (2 Nephi 32:3, 5; John 14:26; 15:26). This enhanced recall includes remembering to be true to our past, to our covenants, and to God, who has been proven "in days that are past"7 (John 14:26; 2 Peter 1:13; 3:1; 2 Thessalonians 2:5; Alma 5:6). These things past can give us the needed courage and heart for the present journey. (The Promise of Discipleship, p. 98)

Apostles Remembered the Savior's Teachings Through the Holy Ghost

Joseph Fielding Smith

It was through the teachings of the Comforter, or Holy Ghost, that the teachings of Jesus Christ were recalled by the apostles. (Doctrines of Salvation, 1:38)

Holy Ghost Brings To Remembrance All Things That Are Necessary For Us To Know

Brigham Young

We believe we are entitled to the gift of the Holy Ghost in extent according to the discretion and wisdom of God and our faithfulness; which gift brings all things to our remembrance, past, present, and to come, that are necessary for us to know, and as far as our minds are prepared to receive the knowledge of God revealed by that all-wise Agent. (Discourses of Brigham Young, pp.160-161)


Holy Ghost Will Brings to Our Remembrance Things Taught in General Conference

J. Reuben Clark, Jr.

The Holy Ghost has been with us during this Conference, and also the gifts of the Holy Ghost, and may that Being continue with us, that to us also He may bring all things to our remembrance, whatsoever we have heard here at this conference. (Conference Report, April 1944, p.157)

Holy Ghost Will Help Us Remember What We Should Remember

James E. Faust

This Comforter can be with us as we seek to improve. It can function as a source of revelation to warn us of impending danger and also help keep us from making mistakes. It can enhance our natural senses so that we can see more clearly, hear more keenly, and remember what we should remember. ("The Gift of the Holy Ghost--A Sure Compass," Ensign, Apr. 1996, p. 5)


Holy Ghost Will Bring Only Relevant Things to Our Remembrance

Neal A. Maxwell

As to that portion of our past which is relevant and instructive, the Holy Ghost will bring things to our remembrance. He will also comfort us, so that any remembrance can be redemptive in its effect rather than debilitating or discouraging. (Men and Women of Christ, pp.31-32)


The Holy Ghost Can Only Bring Remembrance to What We HavePut Into Our Minds

Neal A. Maxwell

As we reflect on how the Holy Ghost preaches to us from the pulpit of memory, we consider Alma's case, wherein he remembered the words of his father about the Atonement: "My mind caught hold upon this thought" (Alma 36:18). Our minds, in order to grasp, thus require a residue of past counsel and shared thoughts upon which to catch hold! (The Promise of Discipleship, p. 98)
