Recently the Spirit has been speaking regularly and plainly to my mind. I have marveled at this process. In most cases the words of the Spirit are filled with scriptural phrases. This has been so much the case that I have wondered if Nephi's words were more to the point than I had initially thought. He says, "Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do" (2 Ne 32:3). Has anyone found that the words spoken by the Spirit or by angels are in large measure phrases and words from the scriptures? If so, why do you think this is the case?
I'm pretty sure Elliaison has a book about this.... you may want to email admin and ask them about it
In my experience, angels have not always spoken words from the scriptures we are familiar with, but have spoken messages specific to me, or messages I was specifically supposed to speak to someone else (the tongue of angels). There have been times when scriptures have been referenced or quoted by angels though. But if you learn what "the words of Christ" are, that might give you a broader understanding. The words of Christ do not just come from the scriptures - they are spoken to us by the Holy Ghost, and by angels who speak to us through the power of the Holy Ghost.
