Isaiah 29:11 states, " and the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed , which men deliver to one that is learned , saying, read this, I pray thee:and he saith, it is sealed: and the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying read this I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."
Joseph Smith was given power of God at age of 21to translate golden plates of writings which later became published as the Book of Mormon.
2 Nephi 33:10 states " and if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ,...and they teach all men that they should do good."
Moroni 10:4 states, " and when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost."

Much is feared in disobeying Heavenly Father for if we persist on grieving his spirit with our sin, He will cause sore affliction, famine, pestilence, and heavy burdens that hurts us to the core and to our family.  Heavenly Father and atonement of Jesus Christ is our only source of redeeming love and all happiness in this life and in the next.  Our very life, peace, and joy depends on blessings we acquire by obedience unto wisdom and truth of His ever guiding words in His book.  The welfare of those we care for are blessed in our blessings and snare in our cursings.  All can be lost to us in love of our family, our possessions, all that is pure, and well being of our soul in eternity.  Yet by atonement of Jesus Christ we can choose the path back to Heavenly Father at any given time that we choose to repent and be made clean and whole before Him.  We are eternal beings made by our Eternal Father and we have the freedom to choose in our hearts to overcome our momentary troubles and our weaknesses with righteousness and reap eternal blessings on the judgement day.

Our Heavenly Father has said in Mosiah 11:23, " Except this people repent and turn unto The Lord their God, they shall be brought into bondage; and none shall deliver them, except it be The Lord the Almighty God."  When we don't heed to Christ's words in the way we should learn, live, and be, our natural body and mind attempts to seek fulfillment in things of the world causing us to become slaves to addictions, self pride and become bondage to people who wants to bring our spirits down along with them.  Our Heavenly Father is slow to anger and is very patient in us attaining spiritual progress, yet when we continually deny His words by disobeying Him, we are left without protective guard against satan's influence and merciful blessings in our daily lives.  We can return to Him at any moment that we choose to obey His word and be forgiven of all our sins with repentant heart.
In the strength of the Lord people of Zeniff  was able to kill 3,043 Lamanites in one day and one night in chapter nine of Mosiah.  Heavenly Father has heard the prayers of His people who cried mightily to deliver them from their enemy.  I am grateful that our Father answers prayers of His people who sincerely and fervently seek Him for help and is merciful to deliver them into liberty.  Our God is faithful unto all those who turn their hearts back to Him in repentance, forsaking their sins, and become obedient to His words.  Heavenly Father's love and His ways are same as in ancient times, today, and forever therefore we can count on Him for deliverance, wisdom, and revelation in our dealings on earth to help us into all truth and righteousness.
