Joseph Smith

“ Thou shalt have the blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven. Thou shalt see the visions of the Almighty, the visions of eternity. The Heavens shall be opened to thy view thou must treasure up the words of eternal life. Thou hast the promise of long life, even eighty seven years. Thou must do a great work on the earth and bring many souls to God – must be instrumental in bring many into the covenant, If faithful in keeping the commandments of God Satan shall not have power over thee. Sickness shall flee away from thy touch – the lame man may leap like an hart – the dumb shall sing. ”

“ Be a mighty man before God. Go from town to town, land to land, visit nations afar off, have strength of body and mind, see much tribulation, blood and carnage, flee through blood, shoe deep, while many are dying around thee, children and orphans crying, and heart weeps, and hear the sons speak to thee saying, “Save these orphan children,” and thou shalt seek to gather them up for Zion. They shall call thee father and thy soul shall rejoice with them, Mobs shall seek thy life. Enemies shall hunt thee from place to place. God shall deliver thee even as Philip. ”
