teaching by the Spirit

Neal A. Maxwell: [W]hen we speak about teaching by the Spirit it is not about a mystical process which removes responsibility from the missionary or teacher for prayerful and pondering preparation. Teaching by the Spirit is not the lazy equivalent of going on ‘automatic pilot.’ We still need a carefully worked out ‘flight plan.’

("That Ye May Believe," [1992], p. 40)
