Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

“The gifts of the Spirit and the powers of the holy Priesthood are of God, they are given for the blessing of the people, for their encouragement, and for the strengthening of their faith. This Satan knows full well, therefore he seeks by imitation-miracles to blind and deceive the children of God. Remember what the magicians of Egypt accomplished in their efforts to deceive Pharaoh as to the divinity of the mission of Moses and Aaron” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith, p. 117).

1843 - The Prophet Joseph attended a lecture at the Grove by Mr. John Finch, a Socialist from Liverpool, England. At the conclusion of the lecture the Prophet said a few words in response. Also, the Nauvoo Neighbor reprinted an article from the New Haven (Connecticut) Herald that stated, “there is not a more industrious, moral, and well-ordered town in the country” as well as other positive statements about Nauvoo and its Prophet leader, Joseph Smith. (History of the Church, 6:33)
