Christ teaches that the power of the Holy Ghost is an intercessory gift. The Holy Ghost does not operate separate from Christ’s role as the Mediator with the Father on behalf of all mankind.
“…The Holy Ghost beareth record of the Father and me; and the Father giveth the Holy Ghost unto the children of men, because of me.” (3 Nephi 28:11)
Questions:
-Why would the Holy Ghost be without effect for humankind separate from Christ’s atoning power?
-Are there specific commandments from God that a person needs to follow in order to draw on the full power of the Holy Ghost?
