“As the Saints drank in the love and spirit of the world, the Spirit of the Lord withdrew from their hearts.” Eliza R. Snow

I don't know about you, but as I read this, it hurt my heart. It is so true, the spirit can't reside in a tabernacle that is filled with the things of the world. My brother-in-law posted on Facebook yesterday about Matthew 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." It is so true, if our treasure is filled with the things of the world the spirit with leave us. We need to decide today to drink in the things of the spirit so that we can be instruments in the Lord's hands and bring about much righteousness. This is the path to joy and happiness.

This scripture jumped out at me the other day in my scripture study. How truly great was His atoning sacrifice.

Alma 34:10

For it is expedient that there should be a great and last sacrifice; yea, not a sacrifice of man, neither of beast, neither of any manner of fowl; for it shall not be a human sacrifice; but it must be an infinite and eternal sacrifice.

I love my Savior and am so grateful that He has made it possible for those who love Him and repent of their sins, to return back to live with our Eternal Father again. Let us renew our dedication to Him today, and serve Him with all our hearts, mind, and strength.

I love this picture and it captures the scripture so well.

Matthew 6:19-21

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

I gave a lesson in Sunday that has really made an impact on my life (spiritualcrusade.blogspot.com/2018/07/lesson-his-spirit-t...). The major focus was receiving the Holy Ghost as our constant companion and then allowing it to change our natures into the Divine nature. That is my greatest treasure and my whole focus and desire. What is your treasure? If it is something of a worldly nature, we need to make some major changes in our lives.

I am starting my 7 do fast of social media today to set an example for my children. Even though they don't have socal media, I want them to know that following the Prophet is more important than how important or timely we may feel that his council may be. The Lord knows why, and that is good enough for me. I hope that others would join me in this 7 day fast of social media. Join me and change your profile picture during the fast to send a signal to the world that you too will follow the prophet.

A Time to Prepare

---------------------------------------------------

"The gospel of Jesus Christ is the plan by which we can become what children of God are supposed to become. This spotless and perfected state will result from a steady succession of covenants, ordinances, and actions, an accumulation of right choices, and from continuing repentance. 'This life is the time for men to prepare to meet God' (Alma 34:32).

"Now is the time for each of us to work toward our personal conversion, toward becoming what our Heavenly Father desires us to become. As we do so, we should remember that our family relationships--even more than our Church callings--are the setting in which the most important part of that development can occur. The conversion we must achieve requires us to be a good husband and father or a good wife and mother. Being a successful Church leader is not enough. Exaltation is an eternal family experience, and it is our mortal family experiences that are best suited to prepare us for it."

Topics: family, conversion, plan of salvation

(Dallin H. Oaks, "The Challenge to Become," Ensign, Nov. 2000, 33)

Do not hide your light but let it so shine among men.

Matthew 5:14-16

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

President Russell M. Nelson in the women’s broadcast challenged all the women and girls 8 and up to read The Book of Mormon by the end of the year. I have decided to accept the challenge as well because if it is good for the women, it is good for the men. I also have my wife and 5 girls that have accepted the challenge. To help myself and them be successful, I have made the following chart that will help us and you to complete the challenge and heed the Prophet's words. I hope you enjoy this chart.

Today we are celebrating our 20th year anniversary and I thought this quote by Gordon B. Hinckley was quite fitting, "Love is meant to be an adventure." The last 20 years have been an amazing adventure. We have sent our first still born girl to heaven and brought 9 children here to earth, and have build powerful memories along the way. We will continue to for built wonderful memories for many years to come. Above all things though, we have built our testimony of the living Christ and have endevored to teach our children of Him. My greatest desire is to one day watch as each of our children embrace the Savior one by one and then all together walk into our eternal inheritance in the presence of the Father. Do what ever it takes to make sure that your love adventure brings you too into the arms of the living Christ, is my prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

President Gordon B. Hinckley: “I feel to invite women everywhere to rise to the great potential within you. I do not ask that you reach beyond your capacity. I hope you will not nag yourselves with thoughts of failure. … I hope you will simply do what you can do in the best way you know. If you do so, you will witness miracles come to pass” (Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley [1997], 696). This obviously applies to both men and women. My wife and I stayed at a resort in Tucson, AZ on Thursday and Friday and on Friday we ordered some nachos from the pool side bar. They were quite expensive, nearly $18, and we joked with each other, saying what if we could eat whatever we wanted because it was all included with our stay. The funny thing is that they didn't charge us, although we told them that they made a mistake.

Self-pity, personal withdraw, or deep desire will not bring the peace, the assurance, or help which are needed. Rather, we must go forward, look upward, move onward, and rise heavenward. Thomas S Monson

How important is this message. We need to rise above the feeling sorry for ourselves and focus on drawing closer to our Savior. Only in that way can true peace and happiness be found.

I found this amazing picture on Pinterest and fell in love with it. It is such a visual. The great and spacious building is not some distant building but rather the steps and the balconies are right there taunting us to leave the tree of life with its most white and sweet fruit. If we are not always on the top of our game with our faith, we might just try to set the fruit down real quick with full intent of coming back to the fruit. Sadly, that path back is not as simple or easy as it may seem at the time, and the danger of not returning at all is great. We MUST NOT HEED THEM. We need to use our faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ, to stay the course and always obey the promptings of the Spirit. Every day we need to get the spirit early through prayer and scripture study and then KEEP IT ALL DAY. We can't afford to lower our guard or even "look" at the spacious building. Remember Lot's wife who looked back either physically or in her heart and she turned to salt. We must keep our eyes and hearts set and focused on Christ and His teachings.

Have you ever wondered if Joseph Smith really saw what he said he saw? You can know for yourself. God is no respecter of persons. Kneel down before your God and my God and ask with real intent and God will reveal it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Moroni 10:4-5

4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/moro/10?lang=eng

“Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven.“ Praise to the man, Hymns #27

What are we sacrificing to improve our worship and our relationship with the Lord? I have found that when little is required, little growth happens. I extend a challenge to commit today to make some specific sacrifice this week to enhance your ability to feel the Spirit of the Lord and receive revelation. As we prepare for General Conference where we will hear from apostles and our living Prophet, we will need this enhanced ability to hear and obey the spirit.

How can we lay aside every sin? We all have the light of Christ or our conscience. The light of Christ is literally the words of Christ to us personally. If we would listen and obey the light of Christ, we would be lead to lay aside every sin. Be very very careful not to lay aside the light of Christ and disregard it, but rather heed and obey it’s promptings. As we do this in the power of Christ and through his atoning sacrifice, we will be given power from on high to lay aside every sin.

We have a routine that we do with my little ones, to help them go to bed, we read one article from the Friend, then read some scriptures, and finally either lister to scriptures or spiritual music. Yesterday, while they were listening to the scriptures, this verse jumped out to me:

2 Nephi 1:23

Awake, my sons; put on the armor of righteousness. Shake off the chains with which ye are bound, and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust.

Let us procrastinate no longer. Let us awake and be the servants of God that we can be and step into our true potential.

#lds #Gospel #spiritualcrusade #quote #quotes #quoteoftheday #mormon #christian #christ #jesus #mormonquotes #becauseofhim #jesuschrist #faith #armor

Elder Bruce R. McConkie taught: “Faith is a gift of God bestowed as a reward for personal righteousness. It is always given when righteousness is present, and the greater the measure of obedience to God’s laws the greater will be the endowment of faith” (Mormon Doctrine, 2nd ed. [1966], 264). I simply love this quote. Years ago, after reading the book, “Kolobs Theorem,” I was praying about what attracts the Light and glory of God unto us and the spirit taught me that it was through our faith. Later when Dieter F. Uchtdorf said, “It is by obedience that we gather light into our souls.“ I took this to the Lord asking if I had misunderstood my previous prompting. The Lord then taught me that they are both true and that obedience is the proof or witness of your faith.

As I read this quote, I thought of the analogy of school and that the test proves or is a witness of the mastery of that material. Once someone masters that material they move onto the next chapter or greater knowledge. This same concept applies to faith and obedience, as we acquire faith as a gift from God and through obedience we show forth mastery of that portion of faith, the Lord then bestows greater faith. As we master that level of faith and prove it by obedience, then the Lord bestows even greater faith, and this continues on and on to greater and greater levels of faith, which at every level we gather greater and greater amounts of light and glory unto us.

Yesterday, I received a text requesting the family to do a special fast today. Around 1:00 pm, I was struggling and texted my wife this text:"I am not going to lie, fasting is harder when it is for someone else like this. I need to turn on the faith! 😂"That thought rang in my mind, turn on your faith. I decided to make a quote out of it. Shortly after, I thought the following as well, Bring your faith, not your pity party.I was determined to bring my faith. Then, my wife texted me a few things that she was fasting for, and that immediately gave my fast a needed power. Needless to say, hunger lost its appeal. When we choose faith, we will be given greater power than that of our own. We can always do more with God than without.

Deseret News had a great article as a tribute to September 11, 2001

"After the invocation, President Hinckley stepped to the pulpit, introduced himself and welcomed those who had come to the Tabernacle and the thousands gathered in Church halls and other facilities across the nation to watch the proceedings via satellite.

“Our hearts are broken, our spirits subdued,” he began. "We bow before the Almighty in reverence and reach out to those who have lost their lives, to their families, and to those who were wounded in the attacks made against our beloved nation."

President Hinckley's address — expressing sorrow and consolation— was delivered powerfully, yet tenderly. He spoke of the Son of God who gave His life that all might have eternal life and said that it is “to Him that we look on this dark and somber occasion.”

This is my talk I gave on Sunday. Here is a teaser:

We must remember that the Savior has already atoned for and bore the sickness, sadness, trials, and tribulations that the one has experienced, is experiencing, and will ever experience. Our responsibility is to help them to come unto Christ, and realize this for themselves. As they come unto Christ, we will be the instruments in the Lords hands and our joy will be great and our rejoicing will reach heaven. We will know the sweetness of the blessings that will be theirs as they realize that they too are of the royal lineage and it too is their right to have the “the priesthood, the gospel, and eternal life.”

#lds #Gospel #spiritualcrusade #quote #quotes #quoteoftheday #mormon #christian #christ #jesus #mormonquotes #becauseofhim #jesuschrist #faith

Elder Melvin J. Ballard said about repentance, “A man may receive the priesthood and all its privileges and blessings, but until he learns to overcome the flesh, his temper, his tongue, his disposition to indulge in the things God has forbidden, he cannot come into the celestial kingdom of God-he must overcome either in this life or in the life to come. But this life is the time in which men are to repent. Do not let any of us imagine that we can go down to the grave not having overcome the corruptions of the flesh and then lose in the grave all our sins and evil tendencies. They will be with us. They will be with the spirit when separated from the body.

Clearly it is difficult to repent in the spirit world of sins involving physical habits and actions. There one has spirit and mind but not the physical power to overcome a physical habit.”

Mormon 9:3-5

3 Then will ye longer deny the Christ, or can ye behold the Lamb of God? Do ye suppose that ye shall dwell with him under a consciousness of your guilt? Do ye suppose that ye could be happy to dwell with that holy Being, when your souls are racked with a consciousness of guilt that ye have ever abused his laws?

4 Behold, I say unto you that ye would be more miserable to dwell with a holy and just God, under a consciousness of your filthiness before him, than ye would to dwell with the damned souls in hell.

5 For behold, when ye shall be brought to see your nakedness before God, and also the glory of God, and the holiness of Jesus Christ, it will kindle a flame of unquenchable fire upon you. www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/morm/9?lang=eng

Let us not doubt any longer, let us kneel down and pray to the Father in the name of Jesus, so that we will not be naked before God and have the fulfillment of this scripture in our lives. We all should be so grateful that we are yet alive and that we have at least one more day and chance to change our ways and the direction of our path. The Lord is supremely merciful and we are indeed in need of that mercy. Let's not wait even one more second, let's start back on that path and come unto our Savior, even Jesus Christ.

Sometimes I feel that we are waiting for that big revelation, that grand insight or conduit from heaven to open up before our eyes. My sister tragically lost her son about 4-5 years ago, and was feeling that she deserved more. She has two friends, who are not even members of the Church, who have seen their deceased children in dreams. She called me about 6 months ago, confessing that this was shaking her testimony and she was struggling with this. We had a good discussion but these next 3 scriptures could have really helped her. Last week I called her and shared them with her and she was really glad. She had come to this same conclusion a few days earlier at a Relief Society activity or something, so my call was another testimony to her that this is the message she needed to hear.

The first scripture is found in John 20:29. This is when Thomas would not believe until he saw for himself.

John 20:29

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

"Inspiration will help us minister to others for the Lord. You have seen that in your experience, as I have. My bishop once said to me—at a time when my wife was under great strain in her own life—“Every time I hear of someone in the ward who needs help, when I get there to help, I find that your wife was there ahead of me. How does she do that?"

She is like all who are great ministers in the Lord’s kingdom. It seems there are two things they do. Great ministers have qualified for the Holy Ghost as a nearly constant companion. And they have qualified for the gift of charity, which is the pure love of Christ. Those gifts have grown in them as they have used them in serving out of love for the Lord."

"Many of us thus have sufficient faith to avoid the major sins of commission, but not enough faith to sacrifice our distracting obsessions or to focus on our omissions." Neal A. Maxwell

What distractions and sins of omission are getting in our way that we are not willing to sacrifice? We want to be more valiant, then let us evaluate our lives and make some new commitments and resolve to take the necessary steps to honoring those commitments. Maxwell continues with more instruction for us:

"Most omissions occur because we fail to get outside ourselves. We are so busy checking on our own temperatures, we do not notice the burning fevers of others even when we can offer them some of the needed remedies, such as encouragement, kindness, and commendation. The hands which hang down and most need to be lifted up belong to those too discouraged even to reach out anymore.

Actually, everything depends—initially and finally—on our desires. These shape our thought patterns. Our desires thus precede our deeds and lie at the very cores of our souls, tilting us toward or away from God (see D&C 4:3). God can “educate our desires” (see Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine, 5th ed., Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1939, p. 297). Others seek to manipulate our desires. But it is we who form the desires, the “thoughts and intents of [our] hearts” (Mosiah 5:13)."
