I made this rule: When the Lord commands, Do it! -Jospeh Smith
This has been the message for all the prophets! Like Nephi taught through his lectures and his actions to GO AND DO, all that the Lord asks, without hesitation or looking back. “I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.” (1 Nephi 3:7) Today President Russell M. Nelson invites us to follow with exactness the impressions we receive from the Lord.”I bless you to follow the prophets with exactness, to feel peace in your heart as you do so. I bless you to know and feel how much the Lord loves you and how much confidence He has in you.” (President Russell M. Nelson)
If we are faithful, and live by every word that proceeds forth from the mouth of God, I will venture to prophesy that we shall get a blessing that will be worth remembering, if we should live as long as John the Revelator; our blessings will be such as we have not realized before, nor received in this generation. (Discourses of the Prophet Joseph Smith, compiled by Alma P. Burton [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1977], 147 – 148.)
