What was the source of Nephi and Lehi’s preaching?

Thomas R. Valletta

“As agents of the Lord they sought to be in tune so that they could speak the words of their Principal. They were led and guided by the power of the Holy Ghost, and as such had the very words divinely provided for them. Always and forever the counsel of the Master to his servants is, ‘Treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man’ (D&C 84:85). … Christ commanded in a modern revelation: ‘speak the thoughts that I shall put into your hearts, and you shall not be confounded before men’ (D&C 100:5–6)” (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary, 3:355).
