Ministering Angels

Wilford Woodruff taught,

“The Lord never did nor never will send an angel to anybody merely to gratify the desire of the individual to see an angel. If the Lord sends an angel to anyone, He sends him to perform a work that cannot be performed only by the administration of an angel…I have never prayed for the visitation of an angel, but I have had the ministration of an angel several times in my life.”

Dreams

Wilford Woodruff taught,

“We may have dreams about things of great importance, and dreams of no importance at all…There are a great many things taught us in dreams that are true, and if a man has the spirit of God he can tell the difference between what is from the Lord and what is not. And I want to say to my brethren and sisters, that whenever you have a dream that you feel is from the Lord, pay attention to it…We may never see anything take place exactly as we see it in a dream or a vision, yet it is intended to teach us a principle.”

Wilford Woodruff, JD 22:333-334
