Wilford Woodruff Saved from Falling Tree by the Voice of the Spirit

Among the most remarkable deliverance accounts in Wilford Woodruff's autobiography, he documented a miraculous preservation through divine warning. As he recorded in his account 'How to Obtain Revelation from God': 'Saved from Death by a falling Tree, by Obeying the Voice of the Spirit.' During his labors, Wilford heard a clear voice directing him to move from his position. Without questioning or hesitating, he immediately obeyed the spiritual prompting. Moments after he moved away, a large tree fell precisely where he had been standing. Had he not heeded the inner voice of the Spirit, he would have been killed instantly. This experience demonstrated to Wilford the reality of divine communication and the importance of strict obedience to spiritual promptings. He used this account as a foundational lesson for Saints about 'How to Obtain Revelation from God,' showing that the Lord actively guides and preserves the faithful through the power of the Holy Ghost.
