Therefore he was constrained to speak more unto them saying: Behold, my brethren, have ye not read that God gave power unto one man, even Moses, to smite upon the waters of the Red Sea, and they parted hither and thither, insomuch that the Israelites, who were our fathers, came through upon dry ground, and the waters closed upon the armies of the Egyptians and swallowed them up?
When the Holy Spirit prompts us to testify, we should not avoid or ignore the prompting. To be constrained is to be compelled or driven forcefully to do something. For Latter-day Saints, the familiar feeling in fast and testimony meeting that forces you out of your seat to make the long walk to the pulpit is the constraint of the Spirit.
