Alma 30:42

Behold, I know that thou believest,

but thou art possessed with a lying Spirit,

and ye have put off the Spirit of God that it may have no place in you;

but the devil has power over you,

and he doth carry you about,

working devices that he may destroy the children of God.

Alma 31:36

Now it came to pass that when Alma had said these words,

that he clapped his hands upon all them who were with him.

And behold, as he clapped his hands upon them,

they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

Alma 32:28

Now, we will compare the word unto a seed.

Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart,

behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed,

if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief,

that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord,

behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts;

and when you feel these swelling motions,

ye will begin to say within yourselves —

It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good,

for it beginneth to enlarge my soul;

yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding,

yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.

Alma 34:35

For behold, if ye have procrastinated the day of your repentance even until death,

behold, ye have become subjected to the Spirit of the devil,

and he doth seal you his;

therefore, the Spirit of the Lord hath withdrawn from you, and hath no place in you,

and the devil hath all power over you;

and this is the final state of the wicked.
