“As the conducting medium in an electric current is capable of conveying but a limited current, the maximum capacity depending upon the resistance offered by the conductor, and, as separate circuits of difference degrees of conductivity may carry currents of widely varying intensity, so human souls are of varied capacity with respect of higher powers. But as the medium is purified, as obstructions are removed, so resistance to the energy decreases, and the forces manifest themselves with greater intensity. By analogous processes of purification our spirits may be made more susceptible to the forces of life, which are emanations from the Holy Spirit. Therefore we are taught to pray by word and action for a constantly increasing portion of the spirit, that is, the power of the spirit which is a measure of this gift of God unto us.” James E. Talmage
