Alma 46:20-24 Behold, whosoever will maintain this title upon the land, let them come forth in the strength of the Lord, and enter into a covenant that they will maintain their rights, and their religion, that the Lord God may bless them.
21 And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words, behold, the people came running together with their armor girded about their loins, rending their garments in token, or as a covenant, that they would not forsake the Lord their God; or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God, or fall into transgression, and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ, the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.
22 Now this was the covenant which they made, and they cast their garments at the feet of Moroni, saying: We covenant with our God, that we shall be destroyed, even as our brethren in the land northward, if we shall fall into transgression; yea, he may cast us at the feet of our enemies, even as we have cast our garments at thy feet to be trodden under foot, if we shall fall into transgression.
23 Moroni said unto them: Behold, we are a remnant of the seed of Jacob; yea, we are a remnant of the seed of Joseph, whose coat was rent by his brethren into many pieces; yea, and now behold, let us remember to keep the commandments of God, or our garments shall be rent by our brethren, and we be cast into prison, or be sold, or be slain.
24 Yea, let us preserve our liberty as a remnant of Joseph; yea, let us remember the words of Jacob, before his death, for behold, he saw that a part of the remnant of the coat of Joseph was preserved and had not decayed. And he said—Even as this remnant of garment of my son hath been preserved, so shall a remnant of the seed of my son be preserved by the hand of God, and be taken unto himself, while the remainder of the seed of Joseph shall perish, even as the remnant of his garment. |

| ⭐ 1880 Revelation to Wilford Woodruff |
| |
|
"Thus saith the Lord unto my servant, John
Taylor, and my servant Wilford Woodruff, and my servant Orson Pratt, and to all the
residue of mine Apostles; Have you not gone forth in my name without purse or scrip and
declared the gospel of life and salvation unto this nation and the nations of the earth
and warned them of the judgments which are to come as you have been moved upon by the
power of the Holy Ghost and the inspiration of the Lord.
|
| |
|
"You have done this year by year for a whole
generation, as men count time. Therefore your garments are clean of the blood of this
generation and especially of this nation.
|
| |
|
"Therefore, as I have said in a former
commandment, so the Lord say again unto my Apostles: Go ye alone by yourselves, whether in
heat or in cold and cleanse your feet in water, pure water, it matters not whether it be
by the running streams, or in your closets; but leave these testimonies before the Lord
and the heavenly hosts; and when you have all done this, then gather yourselves together
in your holy places and clothe yourselves with the robes of the Holy Priesthood and there
offer up your prayers according to my holy law.
|
| |
|
"Let him who presides be mouth and kneel
at the holy altar, and there let mine Apostles bring all these testimonies before my face
and before the heavenly hosts and before the justified spirits made perfect. And thus
saith the Lord unto you, mine apostles, when you bring these testimonies before me, let
them be presented by name as far as the Spirit shall present them unto you: The presidents of the United States, the Supreme Court, the Cabinet, the
Senate and the Houses of Congress of the United States, the governors of the states and
territories, the judges and others sent unto you, and all men and persons who have taken
any part in persecuting you or bringing distress upon you or your families, or who have
sought your lives, or sought to hinder you from keeping my commandments or from enjoying
the rights which the constitutional laws of the land guarantee unto you.
|
| |
|
"And what I the Lord say unto you, mine
Apostles, I also say unto my servants--the Seventies, the High Priests, the Elders, the
Priests and all my servants who are pure in heart and who have borne testimony unto the
nations. Let them go forth and cleanse their feet in pure water and bear testimony of it
unto their Father who is in Heaven.
|
| |
|
"And then, saith the Lord unto mine Apostles
and mine Elders, when ye do these things with purity of heart, I the Lord will hear your
prayers and am bound by oath and covenant to defend you and fight your battles.
|
| |
|
"As I have said in a former commandment, it
is not my will that mine Elders should fight the battles of Zion, for I will fight your
battles.
|
| |
|
"Nevertheless, let no man be afraid to lay
down his life for my sake, for he that layeth down his life for my sake shall find it
again and have eternal life.
|
| |
|
"The nation is ripened in iniquity and the
cup of the wrath of mine indignation is full and I will not stay my hand in judgments upon
this nation or the nations of the earth.

Born in the heart of every man and woman is the "love of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." There is no race of people that would not cherish and safeguard these inherent rights, if it were within their power. We as mortals perhaps cannot be blamed too much by mortals for our inability to uphold and live the laws of God and maintain our God-given Rights in the face of all the arrayed hosts of hell with the combined powers of the government and men. However, if we are not valiant enough to maintain our God-given Rights in the face of such opposition, we might find reason for succumbing to superior forces and thus losing our blessings or becoming enslaved.
However, in thus yielding we still forfeit our blessings, or are still slaves, and the Light and the blessings of a God-given freedom cannot be obtained except by the OVERTHROWING of the forces of evil and RESISTING THEM TO THE DEATH; either in the maintaining or the re-securing of our inalienable rights. Always, one must be obedient to the law upon which the blessing is predicated, no matter what the odds, or the sacrifice, or the strength of the foe.

(That we may not only publish to all the world, but present them to the heads of government in all their dark and hellish hue, as the last effort which is enjoined on us by our Heavenly Father, before we can fully and completely claim that promise which shall call Him forth from His hiding place; and also that the whole nation may be left without excuse before He can send forth the power of His mighty arm.
It is an imperative duty that we owe to our God, to angels with whom we shall be brought to stand, and also to ourselves, to our wives and children, who have been made to bow down with grief, sorrow, and care, under the most damning hand of murder, tyranny, and oppression, supported and urged on and upheld by the influence of that spirit that has filled the whole world with confusion, and has been growing stronger and stronger, and is now the very mainspring of all corruption. The whole earth groans under the weight of its iniquity.) D&C 123:7

If we’re going to fight for right and we can’t do it with all our hearts, with all our lives and all the Liberty God has given us, our two bits is not worth a damn and I don’t care who you are. Because God is not interested in two bit pieces, TWO BIT MINDS, NOR TWO BIT HEARTS. It’s die fighting or don’t fight and die like a coward.
