"In the early days of the Restoration, the Lord spoke to Emma Smith through her husband, the Prophet Joseph Smith, giving her instructions and blessings: '[Be] faithful and walk in the paths of virtue before me. . . . Thou needest not fear. . . . Thou shalt lay aside the things of this world, and seek for the things of a better. . . . Lift up thy heart and rejoice. . . . And a crown of righteousness thou shalt receive' (D&C 25:2, 9, 10, 13, 15)."Of this revelation, the Lord declared, 'This is my voice unto all' (verse 16)."Later, the Prophet Joseph Smith told the sisters, 'If you live up to your privileges, the angels cannot be restrained from being your associates' (History of the Church, 4:605)."
