D&C 120:1 VERILY, thus saith the Lord, the time is
now come, that ait shall be bdisposed of
by a council, composed of the First Presidency of my Church, and of the
bishop and his council, and by my high council; and by mine own voice
unto thema, saith the Lord. Even
So. Amen.

1a by mine own voice unto them
As stated in section one, '... whether by mine own voice or by the voice of
my servants, it is the same.' This is the way the Lord works, by deligation
to man on earth. We may become an instrument in the hands of God, his
representative, as so called and moved upon by the Spirit of God. This ]
principle of deligation is from the beginning and the head on down, from
Jehovah acting in the stead of God the Father of Spirits by divine investiture
even down to the lowly teacher in the church who does but speak by the power
and spirit of God.
