Alma 20:70 And now Zerahemnah, I command you, in the name of that all-powerful God, who has strengthened our arms, that we have gained power over you by our faith, by our religion, and by our rites of worship, and by our church, and by the sacred support which we owe to our wives and our children, by that liberty which
binds us to our lands and our country; yea, and also by the maintenance of the sacred word of God, to which we owe all our happiness;
DC 110:9a It may seem to some to be a very bold doctrine that we talk of--a power which records or
binds on earth and
binds in heaven; nevertheless, in all ages of the world, whenever the Lord has given a dispensation of the priesthood to any man by actual revelation, or any set of men, this power has always been given.
