From
Sheri Dew's book, "God Wants A Powerful People" p. 56 "The question ,
then, is this How much power do we want to have, and what are we willing
to do to obtain it? Heber C. Kimball said that 'the greatest torment
[the Prophet Joseph] had... was because this people would not live up to
their [spiritual] privileges. ...He said sometimes that he felt
pressed upon as though he were pent up in an
acorn shell, and all because the people did not and would not prepare
themselves to recieve the rich treasures of wisdom an knowledge that he
had to impart. He could have revealed a great many things to us if we
had been ready.' " (Journal of Discourses 10:167)
What would
happen in our lives if we lived up to our spiritual privileges and burst
open the acorn shell, so to speak? What could the Prophet teach us if
we would make ourselves ready? I want those blessings!
