Elder M. Russell Ballard “There is not one great and grand thing we can do to arm ourselves spiritually.” “True spiritual power lies in numerous smaller acts woven together in a fabric of spiritual fortification that protects and shields from all evil.” These include prayer, scripture study, and following the living prophets, who are the current “watchmen” positioned atop the towers.

Power of His Might,” fireside given at BYU on March 3, 2002, online at
