Dru and Marianna talk about the power of words - for good and for evil in Alma 30-31. Words can make us feel prideful, hurt, angry, and loved. This is the third anti-Christ that we meet in Alma 30 - Korihor. Korihor told people that they can do anything they want in their life because there is no God, no Christ, and no eternal law. To counteract these teachings, we need to make time for the Lord every day and do those things that allow the Holy Ghost to be with us always. The Spirit teaches us what is true. We are preparing ourselves and the world for the Savior's return. But the current state of the world would try to take us away from Christ. The world will mix small truths with false doctrine. The prayer of the Zoramites illustrate teachings of the world that are seductive to the natural man. Alma put together a dream team of missionaries to try to change these people through the Word of God. They became instruments in the hands of God.
