“The Joy of Ammon Was So Great”

Brant Gardner

Again, the power of the Spirit overcomes the physical strength of the person experiencing it. This is the fourth repetition of this theme of enervation: Alma, Lamoni, Lamoni’s household, Lamoni’s father, and his household. The New Testament reports the same experience for Paul, and Joseph Smith also experienced something similar (JS—H 1:20).
