The Prophet's Words are the Lord's Words

D&C 21:4-6

We have to be reminded that what the Lord speaks, the prophet will speak what the Lord has directed him to speak. Some people complain or go against the prophet's counsel. They are forgetting that they are also going against what the Lord has spoken. If the Lord were to give us directly what directions and counsel we should do, would we follow it? Well, a person with the right mind would. Does this apply with the prophet also? That's a definite yes. The same goes for our bishop. Our bishops are inspired by the Lord for direction and give counsel that has been inspired by the Lord. We should always remember that our priesthood leaders are servants and mouthpieces of the Lord.
