Moroni 2:2 "Ye shall call on the Father in my name, in mighty prayer; and after ye have done this ye shall have power that to him upon whom ye shall lay your hands, ye shall give the Holy Ghost; and in my name shall ye give it, for this do mine apostates."
Wow! That is some amazing power Heavenly Father is willing to give to His children in order to fulfill his purpose. We need to have faith in order to recieve blessings and for God to work through is to fulfill his work.

In the sacrament prayer there are a lot of things we need to remember. (Moroni 4:3, 5:2) We promise to take His name upon ourselves, always remember Christ, and keep His commandments. And We are promised that we will always have His spirit to be with us if we do that. I think we get the better end of the deal. 
We promise we will witness and always remember him also. Being a witness is more then just having a testimony of our own we need to live it and show others we believe by our words and actions.
(6:2- ) we  need to go into Christ with a "Broken heart and a contrite spirit, and witness unto the church" that I have "truly repented" of my sins. 
Taking the name of Christ is a big deal we must act as the Savior would and try to be like Him.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
