There is power in it!

"Is there not something deep in our hearts that longs to draw nearer to God, to be more like Him in our daily walk, to feel His presence with us constantly? If so, then the Book of Mormon will help us do so more than any other book.

It is not just that the Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that. It is not just that the Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too. But there is something more. There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the straight and narrow path...When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance."

50-51 1 Ne 22:1-16

"The time speedily cometh that Satan shall have no more power over the hearts of the children of men." (vs 15) He will have no more power over us because of our righteousness. This passage made me reflect upon the channels that Satan uses to gain power over us. I need to be ever more careful of the music that I listen to, the t.v. that I watch, the books I read, and the language I use. If I can block him out from those channels, I will be well on my way to halting his influence in my life, and being more receptive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
