Almighty Quote by Brigham Young
“I want to say to every man, the Constitution of the United States, as formed by our fathers, was dictated, was revealed, was put into their hearts by the Almighty, who sits enthroned in the midst of the heavens; although unknown to them, it was dictated by the revelations of Jesus Christ, and I tell you in the name of Jesus Christ, it is as good as I could ask for.”

![“How shall we know that we obey [God]? There is but one method by which we can know it, and that is by the inspiration of the Spirit of the Lord witnessing unto our spirit that we are His, that we love Him, and that He loves us. It is by the spirit of revelation we know this.” quote by Brigham Young](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fa8/brigham-young-1075_inspiration_how-shall-we-know-that-we-obey-god-there_148998.jpg)
