Supporting Statements Brigham Young If miracles prove a person to be divinely sent, then we are safe in declaring the Witch of Endor, who raised up Samuel, and the magicians of Egypt to be divinely sent. I will have it printed and sent to the world that no miracle is any proof of a man’s […]
Prophetic Statements Brigham Young You never felt a pain and ache, or felt disagreeable, or uncomfortable in your bodies and minds, but what an evil spirit was present causing it.

Prophetic Statements Harold B. Lee Without doubt the Master realized that every genuine article has its eternal counterfeit, and just so, there would come a time when false Christs and false prophets, claiming authority the Lord had not given them, would arise and would deceive many, even members of the Church, by signs and wonders […]
Prophetic Statements Brigham Young There are many Elders in this house who, if I had the power to mesmerize that vase and make it dance on that table, would say that it was done by the power of God. Who could tell whether it was done by the power of God or the power of […]
Scripture Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Deuteronomy 18:9-14 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

Prophetic Statements Brigham Young Mesmerism is an inverted truth; it originated in holy, good and righteous principles, which have been inverted by the power of the Devil.
