Embracing Divine Guidance and the Concept of Election

The Prophet Joseph often refers to God’s all-encompassing power as the priesthood. This overarching definition acts like an umbrella that covers all of God’s works—from the Creation to the Gifts of the Spirit. In Doctrine and Covenants sections 84 and 107, we especially see the priesthood used in the work of organizing the church and male ordinations. Yet, in D&C 84, we also see both the expansive definition of the priesthood power and the specific definition of priesthood keys and offices used. In the Book of Mormon alone, we find over 464 attributes and references to priesthood power; the Doctrine and Covenants has over 833 similar references Join Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson and guest Janiece Johnson as they discuss the Oath and the Covenant of the Priesthood and how it is so much more than we realize as members of the Church.
