“The Spirit Hath Constrained Me”

Church Educational System

Nephi felt “constrained” by the Spirit to record his prophecies of the last days. Constrained means being compelled or doing something out of necessity. There are other examples of being constrained by the Spirit (see 1 Nephi 4:10; Alma 14:11; 4 Nephi 1:48; D&C 63:64).
