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

Harold B. Lee said, "Who are you? You are all the sons and daughters of God. Your spirits were created and lived as organized intelligences before the world was. You have been blessed to have a physical body because of your obedience to certain commandments in that premortal state. You are now born into a family to which you have come, into the nations through which you have come, as a reward for the kind of lives you lived before you came here and at a time in the world's history, as the Apostle Paul taught the men of Athens and as the Lord revealed to Moses, determined by the faithfulness of each of those who lived before this world was created." (Harold B. Lee, in Conference Report, Oct. 1973,7; or Ensign, January 1974, 5)

“The cost of exultation his obedience, and the cost of obedience is whatever it takes to teach us to hear the voice that we must obey.“ John Pontius

Wow, what an amazing quote. I simply love John Pontius, he is such a powerful writer and I feel the spirit so strong as I read his words. If we want to be exalted, we have got to learn to obey the voice of Christ in our hearts, and in order for us to obey we need to learn how to distinguish the voices in our mind and then obey the voice of Christ.

Scriptures Overcome Contention

This morning I was wondering up with fighting children. I felt like going out there and getting mad at everyone for fighting, but the spirit had a different plan. I found myself rallying the children together for scripture study instead. It was amazing, because I just said whoever wants to do scripture study, come on, and they all came. Ashlyn had found a few scriptures she wanted to make quotes out of and so I thought it would be fun to do some scripture study and then make a few quotes from them. The below quotes are the fruits of our labors, and I am pleased to say that as we studied there was very little contention and a very peaceful feeling prevailed. Today was a testament to how the study of scriptures can overcome contention and invite the Spirit into the home.

"Consecration is the only surrender which is also a victory. It brings release from the raucous, overpopulated cell block of selfishness and emancipation from the dark prison of pride. Yet instead of striving for greater consecration, it is so easy to go on performing casually in halfhearted compliance as if hoping to “ride to paradise on a golf cart.” (Henry Fairlie, The Seven Deadly Sins, Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press, 1979, p. 125.)

Everyday is precious and is a gift from God. We need to make sure that we using our time to come unto Christ through obedience to every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. We need to be in tune to hear the voice of Christ in our lives and then act and obey. I know that this is the path to happiness and true joy.

We are all equal before God. His doctrine is clear. In the Book of Mormon, we read, “All are alike unto God,” including “black and white, bond and free, male and female.” Accordingly, all are invited to come to the Lord.

Immerse yourselves in the scriptures Ezra Taft Benson said, "I add my voice to these wise and inspired brethren and say to you that one of the most important things you can do as priesthood leaders is to immerse yourselves in the scriptures. Search them diligently. Feast upon the words of Christ. Learn the doctrine. Master the principles that are found therein. There are few other efforts that will bring greater dividends to your calling. There are few ways to gain greater inspiration as you serve." ["The Power of the Word," Ensign (May 1986), pp. 79-82]The Scriptures, and specifically the Book Mormon, truly contain, not just the answers and solutions for our lives, but an actual power that flows from its pages, that we desperately need in our daily lives. I have personally felt this power in my life as I have feasted from it's pages. Let us all recommit and rededicate ourselves to a greater immersion and feasting on the good word of God found in the scriptures.

... To what end do we want more light, because it brings more and more happiness and joy.

Alma 41:8-10

8 Now, the decrees of God are unalterable; therefore, the way is prepared that whosoever will may walk therein and be saved.

9 And now behold, my son, do not risk one more offense against your God upon those points of doctrine, which ye have hitherto risked to commit sin.

10 Do not suppose, because it has been spoken concerning restoration, that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness. Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness.

www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/41?lang=eng

As you see “wickedness never was happiness” and so you see that we must choose light rather than darkness to be truly happy. “Joy is the serious business of heaven.” CS Lewis

Bruce R. McConkie said:

“What is the promise? It says that in Abraham and in his seed, "shall all the families of the earth be blessed, even with the blessings of the Gospel, which are the blessings of salvation, even of life eternal" (Abr. 2:11). God gave Abraham a promise, and that promise has been planted in my heart because I am a descendant of Abraham. What God said to Abraham was, "Your descendants," meaning, as we shall see, the ones through Isaac and Jacob, "shall have a right to the priesthood, to the gospel and to eternal life." Three things. I have a right to them..., a right that I earned in preexistence when the Lord decided that I should be born in the lineage that is royal. The royal lineage! It is their right to have the priesthood, the gospel, and eternal life. If I do not obtain those things, it is my fault for not living up to the potential and the possibility that God gave me.”

From the first lecture in the Lectures on Faith, Joseph Smith said: "Faith, then, is the first great governing principle which has power, dominion, and authority over all things: by it they exist, by it they are upheld, by it they are changed, or by it they remain, agreeably to the will of God. Without it, there is no power, and without power there could be no creation, nor existence!" spiritualcrusade.blogspot.com/2017/01/faith-from-lectures...

Elder Neal A. Maxwell once explained: “None of us ever fully utilizes the people-opportunities allocated to us within our circles of friendship. You and I may call these intersectings ‘coincidence.’ This word is understandable for mortals to use, but coincidence is not an appropriate word to describe the workings of an omniscient God. He does not do things by ‘coincidence’ but … by ‘divine design.’”

So we opened the scriptures together and started reading scriptures about obedience. We found several neat scriptures that led to great discussions, my favorite being Alma 3: 26-27. It reads, “And in one year were thousands and tens of thousands of souls sent to the eternal world, that they might reap their rewards according to their works, whether they were good or whether they were bad, to reap eternal happiness or eternal misery, according to the spirit which they listed to obey, whether it be a good spirit or a bad one.

For every man receiveth wages of him whom he listeth to obey, and this according to the words of the spirit of prophecy; therefore let it be according to the truth. And thus endeth the fifth year of the reign of the judges.

The Spiritual Birth

Bruce R. McConkie,

Born of the Spirit

There is a natural birth, and there is a spiritual birth. The natural birth is to die as pertaining to premortal life, to leave the heavenly realms where all spirits dwell in the Divine Presence, and to begin a new life, a mortal life, a life here on earth. The natural birth creates a natural man, and the natural man is an enemy to God. In his fallen state he is carnal, sensual, and devilish by nature. Appetites and passions govern his life and he is alive -- acutely so -- to all that is evil and wicked in the world.

"On the other hand, as indicated in the Lord’s Prayer, when we do not forgive others’ trespasses, we bring ourselves under condemnation. Because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, through repentance our sins are forgiven. When we do not forgive those who trespass against us, we are in effect rejecting the Savior’s Atonement. Holding a grudge and refusing to forgive and refusing to humbly approach our relationships in a Christlike manner truly brings us under condemnation. Holding a grudge is poisonous to our souls."

This morning I put this quote together and then later I saw on Facebook my cousin is struggling today. Her brother committed suicide on Sunday and my heart feels crushed and I can only imagine what she is feeling. I started looking through all my quotes to find something that would help her and then the thought came to me to go read the quote I made this morning, and there it was, exactly what I was looking for. The Lord knew that I needed to make THIS QUOTE at THIS TIME. The Lord truly knows his children and is aware of their needs.

To my cousin, her family, and anyone that is struggling for whatever reason, YOU ARE NOT ALONE - GOD IS CALLING OUT TO YOU!!

“We have witnessed a rapid and increasing public acceptance of cohabitation without marriage and of same-sex marriage. The corresponding media advocacy, education, and even occupational requirements pose difficult challenges for Latter-day Saints. We must try to balance the competing demands of following the gospel law in our personal lives and teachings, even as we seek to show love for all. In doing so we sometimes face, but need not fear, what Isaiah called “the reproach of men.”

My sister, Debbie, shared a family home evening lesson she gave to her family. the hero was Nephi, and how he didn't know how he was going to get the brass plates when he started on his journey, but he knew that God had commanded it and so he was determined.

1 Nephi 3:7

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them. www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/1-ne/3?lang=eng

He had faith that God would provide a way for him to accomplish this great feat. Even with the great faith that he had, the Lord tried him and Nephi had many set backs. As a matter of fact, he didn't just ran into a few set backs... oh no, Nephi and his brothers had to flee for their lives on many occations, and yet he still persisted and put his faith and trust in God.

How many times do we have set backs with things that we are working? We need to like Nephi put our faith and trust in God.

My sister went on to tell her young kids that even when things get hard or if you feel you can't do something, we need to try, try, try like Nephi. What great wisdom here in this counsel. She shared how several times she will overhear her kids trying something and having a hard time with it, say to themselves or another sibling, we need to try, try, try like Nephi.

So, let us all do the same and try, try, try like Nephi in actions and in faith.
