In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), a general authority is a member of the highest levels of leadership in the church who has administrative and ecclesiastical authority over the church. A general authority's jurisdiction is church-wide, in contrast to the responsibilities of a local authority or an area authority, which relate to a particular area, unit, or department of the church. As a group, the general authorities are often referred to as "the Brethren". As of May 2014, the number of general authorities is 106.
Origin of the term
The first scriptural use of the term general authority was in minutes of a meeting for the organization of the Presiding High Council in 1834. Though the original minutes did not refer to the term general authorities, the revised minutes, which were included in the 1835 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants, stated that decisions of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles "can only be called into question by the general authorities of the church in case of transgression." The use of the term general authorities at this time and in this context is generally interpreted to include the First Presidency and the Presiding High Council.
General Authority Tells BYU Law Students Not To Use Critical Thinking When it Comes to LDS Church
A recent address from an LDS general authority (emeritus) to BYU law students left some of them scratching their heads. The emeritus general authority told the students that when they are studying the law and getting their education, of course, they need to use their brain and their critical thinking skills. But when it comes to the LDS church, you should use a different approach and "think with your heart."

An Evening with a General Authority—Elder David A. Bednar Discussion
Here are some interesting parts:

5:31 - Revelation is a process and in some cases has been in process with the prophets for decades.
6:49 - In many instances, the revelation is not what to do, the revelation is when to do.
8:46 - Listen for about two minutes as Elder Bednar talks of the importance of where you are when you want to receive revelation.
11:58 - Many times, what to do is clear - but it's the timing and the when to do we struggle with.

26:38 - What makes Elder Bednar the saddest when he thinks about the members of the Church.
34:46 - The Lord teaches line upon line, and doesn't need to send angels to teach us.

50:18 - How do we better listen and observe people?
52:34 - Elder Bednar shares a powerful story about how his wife, Susan, sought to minister in a higher and holier way. This part is FASCINATING!
55:52 - The blessing of a lifetime. The story he shares of an encounter with President Hinckley is incredible.

A recent address from an LDS general authority (emeritus) to BYU law students left some of them scratching their heads. The emeritus general authority told the students that when they are studying the law and getting their education, of course, they need to use their brain and their critical thinking skills. But when it comes to the LDS church, you should use a different approach and "think with your heart."

P.S. If you're not LDS, you should go to mormon.org to listen to how these guys actually talk so you can see just how good these impressions are!
Here are some interesting parts:
1:12 - Elder Bednar's response to what he would teach about personal revelation. He says we make it too hard on us.
2:51 - He calls out some false beliefs we have, especially in the Western world, about what the Spirit is.
5:31 - Revelation is a process and in some cases has been in process with the prophets for decades.
6:49 - In many instances, the revelation is not what to do, the revelation is when to do.
8:46 - Listen for about two minutes as Elder Bednar talks of the importance of where you are when you want to receive revelation.
11:58 - Many times, what to do is clear - but it's the timing and the when to do we struggle with.
12:36 - Is there a pattern to receiving revelation or a principle?
13:32 - Elder Bednar clarifies that we are promised to "always have his Spirit to be with us" - we should always be in the revelation.
20:33 - How do we know we are doing things right?
22:52 - Importance of asking questions - as we do so, and as people answer, they are acting and it will develop faith in Christ.

In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), a general authority is a member of the highest levels of leadership in the church who has administrative and ecclesiastical authority over the church. A general authority's jurisdiction is church-wide, in contrast to the responsibilities of a local authority or an area authority, which relate to a particular area, unit, or department of the church. As a group, the general authorities are often referred to as "the Brethren". As of May 2014, the number of general authorities is 106.
Origin of the term
The first scriptural use of the term general authority was in minutes of a meeting for the organization of the Presiding High Council in 1834. Though the original minutes did not refer to the term general authorities, the revised minutes, which were included in the 1835 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants, stated that decisions of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles "can only be called into question by the general authorities of the church in case of transgression." The use of the term general authorities at this time and in this context is generally interpreted to include the First Presidency and the Presiding High Council.
