“The Lord God Poured in His Spirit into My Soul”
We speak frequently of receiving an “outpouring of the Spirit of the Lord.” This is a symbolic expression for receiving the Spirit in rich abundance, of receiving the power and direction of the Holy Ghost. Just as one in ancient times could be cleansed and refreshed by being washed or anointed with oil, even so can the people of God have the Spirit “poured” into their souls: they become recipients of pure intelligence, of that pure knowledge from a pure source which greatly enlarges the soul (D&C 121:42).
