Cannot Accomplish the Work of God By Our Own Intelligence

We must depend on the Spirit. We ought to understand-and I presume that we do generally-that the work which we have come into this life to perform cannot be done to the glory of God or to the satisfaction of ourselves merely by our own natural intelligence. We are dependent upon the Spirit of the Lord to aid us and to manifest to us from time to time what is necessary for us to accomplish under the peculiar circumstances that may surround us. (Teachings of Lorenzo Snow, p.109)
