Dec 1- Moroni 2:2-3

As Moroni clarifies some of the teachings of the Savior from 3rd Nephi, there is a really cool principle that is taught between the lines. In verse 2 the Savior gives His disciples the authority to confer the gift of the Holy Ghost, however, He makes a point of telling them that they have to do something to obtain the POWER to do it. SO it becomes clear that the authority comes from the ordaining to the priesthood, but the power comes based on the righteous desires of the disciples. The same is true for you an I. Every single one of us can obtain priesthood power in our lives as we live righteously and draw near to Christ.
