Familiar Voice

And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts. Doctrine & Covenants 29:7

Latter-day Saints go into all the world to preach the gospel to every creature, striving to do so by the power of the Holy Ghost. When these servants of the Lord speak by the power of the Spirit, those who are listening with real intent will hear the voice of their Master, a voice that they had come to know very well in the premortal life that preceded this life on earth. That is what the Savior meant when he taught in the meridian of time: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27). The elect of God thus identify themselves by accepting the proclamation of truth when it is delivered by legal administrators of God’s church and kingdom. (Robert L. Millet and Lloyd D. Newell.
