Trust in that Spirit...

Put your trust in that Spirit that leadeth to do good – yea, to do justly, to walk humbly, to judge righteously; and this is my Spirit … I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall enlighten your mind, which shall fill your soul with joy. D&C 11:12-13

The spirit of the Lord brings light, not darkness; clarity, not chaos; joy, not despair; peace and assurance, not fear and uncertainty. By this Spirit, we can know all things pertaining to righteousness. By this Spirit, we can also discern counterfeit spirits and evil influences. That which comes of God will always lead us to goodness, justice, humility, and righteousness. Any influence that fails to do so does not come from heaven. Mormon said, “Whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one.” (Moroni 7:17). The spirit of the Lord always inspires us to do good as it enlightens the mind and brings joy to the heart. (Robert L. Millet and Lloyd D. Newell.
