What i I Know What is True

I am nearing the end of mission and i am very so thank full the chance to serve the lord this last two years. The lord truly do qualify you for the work, he inspired, uplifts, and builds you to new heights. By the spirit of the lord i have come to know the truth of God what he wishes for me and others. Through study, prayer, and apply the gospel in my life. I know that it is true, and it will bless any one life. Also the gospel has the power to resolve the questions of our soul.

For this may be my last post on my blog. So i felt that i should end with my testimony of what i know what is true unto the all the ends of the earth. I speak to you in type but i hope and pray the the spirit of the lord will com firm to your heart and mind the truthfulness of what speak.

The first thing is bear my testimony of is that God is our loving Heavenly Father which will answer the heartfelt and righteous prayers of our heart. Pray is the first step in to truly coming to know that God is real. On my mission i have gained a profound respect for pray. Many of time i have wondered is any one listening to me is their any one out there. God almost always answers our prayers as the arising of the sun. A slow increase of light. Until the brightest day. Dint give up on pray or God if it doesn't seem to you like nothing is happening.The lord requires the heart, and we give him our heart by our consistently. I Know God lives and loves each one of us. No one is abandoned my the lord. Only we can abandoned Him. If you wish to come to know God and feel his influence more in your life. The first step is to go before him in humble pray.

Next is that Jesus Christ is and was the son of God, the Redeemer of all mankind, the savior of the world. By the virtue of the fall we are a fallen people. Death of the body and the spirit has an affect on all of us. God knew this would happened and knew that man would need a savior to save them form the fall . This is the life of mission of Jesus Christ. He suffer and died for the sins of all man kind. This is not all he also took upon him the pains, sickness, and affections of us all also. No matter you are going though the lord Jesus Christ has been their and knows how you feel. In his atonement will can find the healing power we need. Jesus has the healing wings the heal any wound. All he asks us is that we come unto him and to follow him. If you seek peace and forgives from God. Come unto Christ by learning and living his Gospel. The lord can and will help you get though any thing you face in life. I know the Jesus Christ that once suffered for the sins of World lives. He loves you and wants to help and heal us all.

I know that God spoke to man but also that he speaks today. In the 1820's a  young boy searching for spiritual guidance on what church was the true church. He look to find the true gospel and power that Christ himself brought to the earth. In study and pray he as directed by lord. He went to grove of trees behind his home. In humble and sincerely pray to God. In his own words he tell us what happened that day. " I saw a pillar of ^clight exactly over my head, above the brightness of the ^dsun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. When the light rested upon me I ^bsaw two ^cPersonages, whose brightness and ^dglory defy all description, ^estanding above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My ^fBeloved ^gSon. Hear Him!"  Some happened that not  for happened many hundreds of years. God himself and his son Jesus Christ appeared to man and communed to him. Later that young man  Joseph Smith was called to be a prophet and was to resorted the true and competed gospel of Jesus Christ back to the earth. Giving us every doctrine and  principle pertaining to life and salvation also the that same priesthood power  that was part of Christ's church. I know that Joseph smith was the prophet of the lord and that the church he reorganized back the earth is the lords church.

Last i bear my testimony of the Book of Mormon. it is truly the record of ancient prophets in America. It is a  volume of holy scripture comparable the bible. In the Book of Mormon contains the fullness of he Gospel. All men that will prayerfully read it will feel the spirit of the lord in their heard, will draw closer to God, and  will find the answer to life's many questions.  I know that it is a book of scripture at all men will profit from reading it. The book has guided me thought out my mission specially i the hard times.

Forgiven Even Those We Dont Want To

No one goes thought out life without any scratches or wounds to body or soul. It is a natural part of life all are born into a fallen world. The great thing about the gospel is Christ came to redeem men from the fall and be uplifted to heaven. For that is the life and mission of Christ for the immortality and Eternal life of man. This comes by and thought the atonement of Jesus Christ.

I was once a man told me in tears that the two people he hurt the most was his wife and his first son. This had a huge affect on me. I ponder  on this many times. Then i thought this two people we spend some most time and are the first experience in this field. Many times of stress, anger, frustration we may make remark or do action that we may not do other wise do or say. I have seen that the most important principle of young families is forgiveness.

 Maintain a happy marriages and family is life's hardest  challenges in life. Being new at  it just makes it even harder. Cause all a now you are required to use skill and talent that you have never had to use before. So all family's and marriages will have a bumpy road,  have unforeseen curves, and some time stops along the way . this is all part the great dance of life.

The question is how you respond to when thing turn in wrong way. What do you do when your spouse or family member says or does thing and hurts both physical and emotional.  Remember we all fall short of the glory of God and are sinners.  So  in affect we are all hurting each other, and need to repent. If wish for forgiveness for my actions i must for forgive them for there actions against me.

To forgive is move on. Not to put it  into a chest of weapons to us against them in a later time. Forgive is forgetting and putting the past behind us  and going on. This will heal the wounds of any marriage and family.  I have seen it many of times. Yes if a spouse it is abusive you are to get away for the problem. But we are required to forgive all men. Even those we don't want to.

When voices rise, hard words said, anger in your heard and mind. Take the time to cool down, don't throw all the hard work in family and marriage for just  a pasting remark that is might hurt. Its not worth the pain and suffering  to said or do some thing is heat of the moment that will only cause even more pain and suffering.  Remember Christ showed us the way. By learning of him and trying to be like him will bring the great peace, joy, and happiness in family life.

4 Principles of Repentance

Yesterday i posted about repentance. We all fall short the glory of God and have need to repent. No one accountable is excused from this needed act.

Many of us know the steps of repentance and have repeatedly walk its path. For most of us we will walk this path every single day of our lives. True lasting repentance is not done of one act, but it the sum of a life time of righteous living. As like babies learning to walk we will stumble, fall, and fail and at times. This don't mean we are worthless and should just give up. It means quit the opposite. We are all Children of a loving God who is full of grace and mercy for the repent. Repenting is hard, takes work,  and take time. Thou we should put off repentance, so be surprised if you struggle with.  Their is war inside our heart and soul. The great battle between the spiritual and the carnal. Repent is yeiding to the spirit and putting off the natural  man.


On that note here are for principles of repentance that i have found to bless my life.

1. Humble, To repent is sense is to be humble. To look the lord and say "you are right lord I do need to do better". To be humble is to accept the need of repentance. We must put off all pride, and give our whole heart to God holding nothing back.
2. sincerely. To truly repent require something inside yourself. It requires our heart and mind having a desire to repent. Question yourself why do you repent is to please the lord or man. God now the desire and sincerely of our heart for that is where he looks. If you aren't scenery the lord will hold back the divine forgiveness
3. practice. repentance take time. We must to our best to avoid the sins that we easily do. To change is hard and requires us to work on it every day. To repent and receiving divine forgiveness is one the great gifts we can receive in this life. Some times we suffer with the memory and remorse of our sins long after we have commented them.In the the church we us the phase "repentance process", This is true. It is process some times takes long then we wish. The important factor is  we desire to change and improve. The change of heart are to have in the repentance process is show by a desire to sin no more. Yes will be tempted and some times we give into temptation. If you want and are tyring to avoid sin. You are in the process of repentance.
4. love. Very thing about the gospel is fueled and motivated my love. In John 3:15 we read   For ^aGod so ^bloved the ^cworld, that he ^dgave his ^eonly begotten ^fSon, that whosoever ^gbelieveth in him should not perish, but have ^heverlasting ⁱlife.  God and Jesus loved us some much that They paid the ultimate sacrifice. The forgiveness that we seek is given to us by the love and grace of Jesus Christ. If love is so important for them should it not lead our repentance process. If we truly love Jesus would we not follow the commandments he set forth and follow his example.True and deep love for God is what will lead us to to true lasting repentance and in turn Feeling the love of the savior more in our life. Also Christ taught the need of o loving one other. Said it would be the sign of the disciple. Love those around us and accept them for who they are. The people around us may make mistakes that hurt us. But at the same time we are also are making mistakes. We must love all for we all are in need of forgiveness. Love like repentance means their are greater things ahead.

Clean the Wounds of The Soul

Wounds are a normal and natural part of life. The wounds if want to talk about are both physical and spiritual. We all have had flesh wounds cuts, scape's,  or even slaceration . Flesh it self is weak and is easy damaged if not protected. Much like our spirit or soul, its is to hurt or damage it, cause to flesh or the natural man in us we easy fall into sin.


I always remember those days as a kid when fell off the bike, tripped, or just got hurt. I would run to mom, then she would look at it and judge the best treatment. This i  was always afraid of, cause  what she might do. We all the know to clean cut well you many time us alcohol wipes. That what i feared most, cause  yes it cleans the wound but  burns and stings. When get cut it like in the cause to get infected making it worse and protect it form healing. So you clean the wound. Yes it hurt but its worth it and is need, being pure and clean is always better then being dirty and unclean physical and spiritual.

Healing its better then letting the wound infect

I am amazed at the Savior’s encircling arms of mercy and love for the repentant, no matter how selfish the forsaken sin. I testify that the Savior is able and eager to forgive our sins. Except for the sins of those few who choose perdition after having known a fullness, there is no sin that cannot be forgiven. ¹⁵ What a marvelous privilege for each of us to turn away from our sins and to come unto Christ. Divine forgiveness is one of the sweetest fruits of the gospel, removing guilt and pain from our hearts and replacing them with joy and peace of conscience. Jesus declares, “Will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you?” ¹⁶

For most, repentance is more a journey than a one-time event. It is not easy. To change is difficult. It requires running into the wind, swimming upstream. Jesus said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.”As if we were climbing a tree-covered mountain, at times we don’t see our progress until we get closer to the top and look back from the high ridges. Don’t be discouraged. If you are striving and working to repent, you are in the process of repenting.

So what are the steps to repentance

1. we must realize the sins and desire to repent
2. confuse to God in pray and when need to others
3. when possible repair and replace the wrongs
4. forsake the sin or to avoid the doing the sin again
5. try our best to keep the commandments.

Yes repentance hurt at first. Over time as you repent you will find the guilt, shame, and pain from our sins will be taken form our heart. Fulling our heart with joy,  peace to our conscience, and  the divine gift of forgiveness.

The Spirit of God Can't Be Stoped

The cause of truth shall forth unto the whole world. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints is the God chosen church on the earth today that contain the priesthood authority of God and all the truths of heaven. The prophet Joseph Smith once said, “The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done.” 

The video below show the the grow of the church, remember the church was reorganized in 1830's and this video was made in 06. As of last year the total member of the church in the 14 million. The dots stands for a stake. A stake is a group of congregations, a congregation is about 200, and their is about 7 congregations per stake. So that can give you idea of the growth of the Church. This not a man's church. It is the lord work and his church.

Three Prinples of Revelation

To receive revelation for God is one of life's most difficult task. Many voices try to cover up the voice the spirit. Some today even go so far as to say that their so now such things as revelations. In the scriptures is the truth about this, for the scriptures hold the answer life. In the Book of Mormon in Mormon 9 we read the truth of the this matter.

 I speak unto you who ^adeny the revelations of God, and say that they are done away, that there are no revelations, nor prophecies, nor gifts, nor healing, nor speaking with tongues, and the ^binterpretation of tongues;

For do we not read that God is the ^asame ^byesterday, today, and forever, and in him there is no ^cvariableness neither shadow of changing?

If God revealed things anciently would he not do it today at the time when we need him the most. I know God lives that he spoke and He will speak today if have faith, ask, and listen.

Now here are three principle upon personal revelation is based. First off personal revelation  is guidance form God to us to to help us find our way in life. And a parent or leader we may receive revelation according to those we server and have duty over. Not to control them, but to help and support them along the path to eternal life. So there are the three principles.

1. We must first be humble and submissive. in Isaiah 55 we read  For my ^athoughts are not ^byour thoughts, neither are your ^cways my ^dways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ^aways ^bhigher than your ways, and my ^cthoughts than your thoughts. We have to will to accept the will of our heavenly father in all things. Ina  way let go of our will, thoughts, and desires  to find the higher way.
2. then we most study and ponder the things we seek.  Like the rising of the sun, the light and glory of the sun doesn't come at once of over time piece by piece to the glory of the noon day. So it is with revelation we must give our effort and listen to the spirit. In modern revelation God taught Joseph Smith. Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.  But, behold, I say unto you, that you must ^astudy it out in your ^bmind; then you must ^cask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your ^dbosom shall ^eburn within you; therefore, you shall ^ffeel that it is right.  Pondering invites the whispering of the Holy spirit to our heart and mind. When you ponder you are to stop the race of life and be still. To stop and meditate listening to the thoughts and feeling that come to our mind.
3. Lastly all revelation is based on our sincerely or real intent. Those mean that we would act upon the revelation given. If we don't have true desire or willingness to act why would God tell us. All its would do is condemn us. You must have a strong desire to know and receive before it will be give to you.

The Eternal Nature of Families

God us places in family for a reason. In that social group we learn the most import and basic principles of life and salvation. The spirit of young ones are cultivated in loving and caring environment. We build loving bonds and surpassed much the chaos of life. This bonds are some the strongest we can have in life.  You can change who your friends but you can change who your Family is. So you better make the best of  it.

The question comes my mind is "Why would he put us in this family if only they will be torn apart by disagreements, sorrow, and even death". The answer is not of man teaching or ideas, but of divine principle of Heaven.

 First death is not the end of our existence, Our spirits or eternal they were before birth and will be after death. The soul will home to that God who gave them life. To await the resurrection and judgement of all mankind. For those were faithful and valiant  in a testimony of Christ will be with God though out the eternities.

Also the family it self is  an eternal thing. Many times in the scriptures God i refers to as the Father of  our Spirit or Heavenly Father. This statement is  more true then many thing. For God is true creator and Father to our Soul. Before we were born He created our spirit, was our spirit father,  and were part of a spiritual family.  As are born into the world we are give mortal family's to help us learn and grow.  This family don't have to be limited to this mortal life. Though Christ are able to gave salvation and live after this life God. In Matthew 16: 18-19  we read of Christ giving the sealing powers to peter the apostle.

 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this ^arock I will build my ^bchurch; and the gates of ^chell shall not ^dprevail against it.

 19 And I will ^agive unto thee the ^bkeys of the ^ckingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt ^dbind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

With this sealing power peter had the power to seal or bond families though out the eternities. Also they live faithful the gospel their family can and will beond the grave. To be in family with the ones we love the most in place of were their is on sorrow or anger. What a great bless! All our family can be together forever.

The Body a Gift From God

Many today don't know or belief how special our body's are.  Some don't feel any responsibility to their body that they can to with how they please. The truth is our body are all great gifts from God, He trust us that we will use this gift wisely. The human body is the greatest machine earth. Full and complex systems and sud systems that work together in unity. With our Body's we can achieve the greatest bliss and work.

Gaining a body is part God Plan for us. It is free gift He gave all every one, the test is how we well we us that body.  Know ye not that ye are the ^atemple of God, and that the ^bSpirit of God dwelleth ^cin you? 

Think it this way your father Just gave you the car of our dreams . But the catch is your father will see how you treated this great gift, and if you treat it with respect and love. He has Greater gift in store for you. Wouldn't you  do all you can to treat that car with the up most respect or would you throw it all way for moments of pleasure. Just like your father how will judge how you have used the car. God will judge how you treated your life on earth. Reality is that our life on earth is a Stewardship of time and choices granted by our Creator. That some day will accounted for, according how we live our life our Heavenly Father will reward us.

1 Corinthians 6

 19 What? know ye not that your ^abody is the ^btemple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your ^cown?

 20 For ye are ^abought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Those who believe that our bodies are nothing more than the result of evolutionary chance will feel no accountability to God or anyone else for what they do with or to their body. We who have a witness of the broader reality of premortal, mortal, and postmortal eternity, however, must acknowledge that we have a duty to God with respect to this crowning achievement of His physical creation. Why would you then we would certainly not deface our body, as with tattoos; or debilitate it, as with drugs; or defile it, as with fornication, adultery, or immodesty. ⁴ As our body is the instrument of our spirit, it is vital that we care for it as best we can. We should consecrate its powers to serve and further the work of Christ. Said Paul, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God” (Romans 12:1).

In concision our body are holy and special gifts form God.  That we need to honor and respect. By doing so show our love and respect toward God. When we show love to God, he shows is love to us. As you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you.

 20 For ye are ^abought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Weakness Become Strengths in the Lord

We are born in a weaken or frail state some and body that can't or barley support human life. Weak in body, mind,  and spirit overcome this weakness is part of life. As for me i have to learn to over come a.d.d and dyslexia (a reading disability). As kid i was year behind in reading, and suck at spelling. I also thought it was embarrassing and humiliating that so bad at English language. I guess in way it made me meek and humble. Some times i thought why would spend me to the earth with all this problems, and why did make it easier.

I found the answer in the Book of Mormon. Remember the scriptures are the words of Christ and contains the guide book to life. In Ether 12: 27 we read And if men come unto me I will show unto them their ^aweakness. I ^bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my ^cgrace is sufficient for all men that ^dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make ^eweak things become strong unto them. This meant to me was that God gave us weakness to make us humble and dependant on Him. If we rely on Him he will help us overcome our weakness and become strong in that thing. By Faith in Christ and his atonement we can overcome all our weakness in life in time.

For him me when i stated high school i really wanted to overcome my Reading disabilities. So with faith in lord and in myself i pressed forward. Stretching myself to my limits, and yes i did struggled and still do at times. Now i may not be prefect and i am better and getting better day by day. We wont become prefect in this life but we  can strive to do better every day.

Fruits and Works

God doesn't want us to ponder and guess what is right and true. He loves us and wants us all to know for a fact the truth. Since the beginning he has provide a means for us to know the path.

The lord Jesus Christ taught Seek and we find, Knock and it will be opened to us, Ask and we will receive.  This is true, before Christ crucified he to told the apostles that God would send the Holy Ghost. Whose role is to teach and testify of truth, and so to lead and guide us. As we ask God in pray to know what is right. God will confirm to our souls the truth of all thing tough the Holy Ghost.


This is not all in the summon on the mount Christ and taught and warned that false prophets and/or teachers will come tyring to deceive you. But by the fruits you would know a true prophet from a false one. Only good men of God can bring the thing of God. The things of the spirit come to those follow Christ  and seek to serve God. Evil men cant bring good thing that lead to the true understanding of God.

Joseph Smith was a prophet of all might God, called in this latter days to lead us and to restore the full and complete gospel of Jesus Christ back to the earth. He didn't seek the praise of men or to gain glory in their sight. He suffer and died for what he claimed to be true, if he lied and about what he saw and did. Why would he suffer persecution,  fear, being kicked out of city after city,  and even marching to own death with faith and courage, leaving his Family father less, and many to walk across the plains of America in hope of peace? No liar wound go so far what he knew to be lie.

Just as Christ taught by the fruit of Joseph Smith we can know if he was true prophet or false, judges the works the him as guided by the spirit. The Holy Ghost will up lift and enlighten our mind to truth if you seek it. So what are the fruits of Joseph Smith and the Church he reorganized on the earth.

• The Book of Mormon, A volume of Holy scripture That was written in  ancient Americas, the book is 529 page and on very page their is reference to God or Christ. No farm Boy of the 1830 could write book like unless he was directed by the lord
• thought Joseph Smith the Lord bought the true Priesthood Authority  back the earth
• The many revelation that expanded our know of God
• The Church he reorganized on the earth with all its duties and offices
• The Mormon tabernacle choir, the world most famous Choir sings beautiful songs of the Savior
• church welfare program, a program developed 75 years ago, to help and support those in need.
• More than 50,000 missionaries are serving missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at any one time. Most are young people under the age of 25, serving in nearly 350 missions throughout the world.
• From the beginning of only 6 members in the 1830s to now over 14 million members worldwide

Perfect Love Cast Out Fear

Fear stops us form doing many thing in the would some times good and some times bad. Like touching a hot pot we are afraid to get burned or afraid to stand up for what you know to be true. Fear is normal and natural emotion we all feel it. The question is do we overcome our fear to do the better in all things.

We are to fear the lord in some ways that is the first step in commandment keeping lifestyle. But the more powerful source is out of love of God. John 14  15¶If ye ^alove me, ^bkeep my ^ccommandments.  If you Love the lord and trust you put it all on the line and follow him. Some times its scary to  follow the lord. We many times are in darkness and have to trust Him by harking to His voice. Which will bring you to the light and glory of God.

Love for God and those around us will cast the fear from before us. As we do so  you will See the world  in a greater light with hope and faith for tomorrow.   If you have perfect and complete love for The lord and some one nothing to to hard for them.

 1 John 4:18There is no ^afear in ^blove; but perfect ^clove casteth out fear: because fear hath ^dtorment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Love for the lord create a hope in him that enlightens our darkness hour give the optimistism to face it. Faith, that what he says is true and what he commands is possible. love gives meaning a beauty to live. It turns simple acts into blessed serve to the lord.

Fear not the lord is with you by your side each step along the way. He love you more then you can think. Wish your happiness and will help and support you in heaven way.  Give Him your heart with love, then he will fill your full being with love, light, and joy with on fear to be found

What are you carry with you

What is sin and why is so bad? What can it hurt  to steal and lie bit? The prophets and Christ warned so sin. Sin is simple by natural and buts affects are far reaching even into the eternal.

God in our spiritual father, He gave us this world, our lives, and power to direct that life by our choose. From the ever begin with Adam and eve God set some rules and conscious for their actions. God gave them commandment of what wants us to do and as we do so he will bless cause of obedience to the commandment. But its us to if we will follow the command. When fail to follow a commandment, don't want He ask, or do what he tells not to that is sin. Sin separates us from God, like mortal father when you fail do as he says  you drawn apart. God is perfect he can look upon sin with the least degree of allowance. When we break a commandment and sin their is a penalty that must be payed for.  Sins are burden to our soul, each sin we do is  one more weight we have to carry around. If your ever been on a long hike, you should know that the light the pack the easier the hike is. That is how life is it will be easier as we go on in life we can a light pack free of sin. Just like backpack we can make it light though repentance.


 Satan is the enemy of God, his purpose and enjoyment comes form leading you  way for God. He will lie, cheat, blackmail, and bribed you to follow him. Sin is much like  poison in degrees. It always starts out small but when the small part poison is normal and OK. The sin or poison is increased in small amounts.  Over time we will deep in the pit of sin and it may seem like their is no why out. Step by step we lead away careful in to deeper and deeper sins.

No sin brings lasting happiness, sin does bring short feeling of pressured. It is on lasting or full filling joy. True freedom and happiness comes as we follow the savior of the world. We sin and fall short of the glory of God. That doesn't mean its OK if sin and you can keep doing it. Sin will  keep you from God the source of happiness. We must forsake sin and do our best to  live better and better sin free lives.

After this we will be judged by Jesus Christ according to our works. No unclean thing or sin full thing can enter into Gods resting place. If you have sin upon you at the last day  you will not be able to receive all that we could.


Christ came to earth to atone for the sins of the world. This means he  took upon himself the penalty of sin for us all. Cause he did that if we repent we can become clean form our sins being forgive from God. forgives from God is made possible tough Christ. It however works for those who accept it though repentance and baptism. Christ suffer for our sins but if we don't repent or be baptised by to true priesthood. It is like their was no atonement made, or Christ hadn't suffer for our sins. The Savior Jesus Christ did suffer  for the sins of whole earth. If you gain faith in Christ, repent , be baptised, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and endure faith to the end our  days. We will clean of our sin, being found spotless at the day that judgement bar of God

Times of Distress and Sorrow

Many things and experience in life pull us down into sorrow and frustion. Life is no spiritual picnic, full of painful things, trails, test, and  satisfaction. How we react when  we encounter adversity largely  affect our happiness and success in life. Ever one faces hard things and test. So test or different then others. I remember a line form the play "fiddler on the roof". When the man character wish he could be rich, he says to God "if being rich is a sick, may be  strict in with it and may i never recover." You may see people that go thought with no problems, remembers the rain falls on us all. All are tested by God and God's are fair in the end.

When you face adversity the first thing you need to remember is the purpose of life. this life is day of probation or testing. So God see if we will be faithful to him at all times.  If life was prefect with on problem, wouldn't it be easy to stay true to God, but what would it be worth. Their wouldn't be any satisfaction or reward. There in opposition in all things. For every good their is a bad. So for us to truly understand and comprehend good of life we must taste and little of the bad. So its OK if some bad stuff happiness its part of life. The test is how we handle and overcome it. So instead of asking why this is happening. Ponder and pray "what am i to learn?, how can apply it to my life?, how would i Jesus react if he was in my place? What is the good that can and will come of this?

Christ first and foremost teaching was faith. Faith in Christ is the key be successfully in life and being happy. Christ suffered the pain, sickness, and satisfaction of all men. He overcome the world and has the heal power. No matter or distress or sorrow the Savior atonement has the power to heal you, but you must have faith in him. He will aid, uplift, guide,  and comfort you in your times of adversity.

With faith and Trust in God and Jesus Christ every thing leaves us as blessing. The wind that would push us down, will fill your sails and push you toward Heaven.

The Power of God Unto Man Today

We are separated from God both physical and spiritual. Would it be nice to have God come down from heaven to teach us, to lead us,  and to baptism us. There wouldn't any question about if he had authority to do it. He is God the source of power in the universe. But sad that isn't  the case, we must walk by faith in this life.

The question is if God loves us, how can he teach us, lead us, and do ordinances of the gospel for us if he isn't here.  This is where the miracle of the priesthood comes in. The priesthood is the authority to act in God’s name. To  say God isn't here but cause i have the priesthood i can take his place. To fill the gap between God and men. Though time God gave the priesthood to prophet though heaven messagers . The priesthood is give to other by the laying on of hands. Like when moses give Aaron and his son the permission and power to be priest.

When Christ was on the earth he call and ordained 12 apostles. He chose them, they didn't ask to be apostles. They were called of  God. In Matthew 10 Christ gives the apostles the priesthood. And when he had ^acalled unto him his ^btwelve disciples, he gave them ^cpower against ^dunclean spirits, to cast them out, and to ^eheal all manner of ^fsickness and all manner of disease.

In the priesthood holds the power to heal the sick, teach, cast out devils, to baptism, give the gift of Holy Ghost, and to receive revelation  for the Church as Whole. The apostles used all these to lead the Church of Jesus Christ. Even thou  Christ was off the earth, He lead the Christ by revelation to leader of the Church.

When Joseph Smith restored the true and living Church Of Jesus Christ back to the earth heaven messagers once again visited the earth and gave him the priesthood.

Today any worthy male of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints may hold and use the priesthood. An unbroken chain of priesthood ordination all the way back to Christ. All are imporontant int the church , the priesthood is just a opportunity to serve other. I have see the power of God affect my life though worthy priesthood holders.

One Lord and One Truth

Their is only one true and living God and only begotten son in whom he sent to earth to save us. On other God stand before him, he is the master of the universe. The source of all light and Truth that is in the universes. He doesn't vary not  to left or to right, but is set on a straight eternal course. The he runs the world and what he requires of us doesn't change. Ephesians 4: 5 One Lord, one ^afaith, one ^bbaptism. Their is ONE ETERNAL TRUTH

We cant choose what maker of the universes is like or want he says. He is our father of our spirits, oh can a son tell his father how he is. The Father is charge, he sets the terms, its up to us if we accept the terms he as set.

The question is then how do you find the truth about God, his son, and Their gospel. God has sent messages to the earth thought out time and even to day. They are called prophet, men that are call of God, give power from God, and speak Gods words to us.  The ancient prophet the book of scripture the bible and the Book Of  Mormon. Though this book we  can hear the voice of the father. Also God Today has Called President Thomas S. Monson to be  is prophet for us to today.

But that not God knew some would doubt and would need a convincing power. The Holy Ghost the third member of the God head is an teacher and testifier of truth. We read of the power of the holy Ghost in Moroni  10:5 by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may ^aknow the ^btruth of all things. The Holy Ghost speaks to though the feeling of  our heart and ideas that come to mind. Have you have been comforter ed in a hard time in pray or at church, And when face with hard choose ahead of you had a idea come to your mind that didn't feel like your own. That is the influence of the Holy Ghost that is sent to us to guide us to truth and to testify of the truth  of it to us.

Jesus promise us if we ask, seek, looked for the truth we would receive it. As you study it out in your mind pondering on the things you have learned. Praying to God the he would reveal you the truth of all times. God speak to us in his own time and way.  I promise if wish to know if Book of Mormon is true scripture and if Joseph Smith and Thomas S. Monson is the lord prophet on the earth today. You can know for sure the truth by the power and  influence of the Holy Ghost.

Husband and Wife to Become One

Their are many forces that are pulling families apart. God wants us to be untied in heart and one mind. That is goal of the family relationship and gospel to be one with God. As we do so we will have Gods love and peace in our heart and in our home. God said If your aren't one your aren't mine.

I like to think of it like a triangle. Gods is on the top and husband and wife are the bottom corners. So as the husband or wife draw closer to God they by affect will come closer together. When live the way Jesus did and command us to we find we can overcome any difficulty or differences. Christ show us the Path of happiness in this life and to eternal life in the life to come. Gospel living and commandment keeping brings you closer to God, and as you do so a husband and wife become more like their savior. By doing so they will can become one.

As you love as Jesus love you accept the thing you cannot change and do your best to improve the world around you. Christ gave all he had for cause of God. He loved all men even those how beat, cursed, killed him. Should try to emulated that love in  our life.

Christ taught draw near unto me  and i will draw near to you. Also no one gets to father but though me. That means if you want God influence in your life you got that the first step toward Christ. Christ waiting to receive us, he want force and any man to come to him, its up to us. So He stand with open arms waiting to receive you with love and support. Take step to Christ by meeting with the missionaries. i Have seen life change, people become better by our message. I know if  you listen and apply the missionaries message you will achieve some deepest desire our you heart by coming to Christ. When you come to Christ it full your life with joy and meaning, peace of mind in uncertain times, i have seen family saved at were about to fall apart, and most importantly though Christ atonement He can remove the guilt and shame from your heart.

If you want this thing in your life meet with the missionaries, read the Book of Mormon, visit us on Sunday at one of our worship serves all are invited, go to mormon.org, pray with all energy of heart for help to God. and prepare to baptised by some one that hold the authority of God. I know as to do you thing you will feel deeper love For God, our Savior, and your family.

What is After the Grave

Does God have a Plan for Me?

Why i am here and what do i need to do?

Is death the end?

What is after i die?

Will i is see my loved ones that past away again?

Were is heaven and what will it be like?

 

We all have experienced death in our life. It painful for your heart to see the ones we love the most to leave is mortal life. Who when faces the darkness of death and suffering can wonder what is belong the grave? Is their more, does what i do in this life really matter? Lastly if their was a God why he let them die or suffer like they did.

 

I testify that death is not the end, and this greats truths have been revealed to us by prophets last and prophets today.

 

The Body is made of the flesh the part we see and feel, but all man are born with a spirit or soul. God is Father and Creator of our spirits. When we die our body goes into the grave, But our spirit goes to spirit world. This truth is lost to many church is is plain taught in  1 Peter 3 18For Christ also hath once ^asuffered for sins, the just for the ^bunjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to ^cdeath in the flesh, but quickened by the ^dSpirit: 19By which also he went and ^apreached unto the ^bspirits in ^cprison; 20^aWhich sometime were ^bdisobedient, when once the ^clongsuffering of God waited in the days of ^dNoah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were ^esaved by ^fwater. We  Christ died  he did nit go to heaven  he went to spirit prison their he taught the gospel to spirits that didn't have a opportunity to hear the gospel or were disobedient. In the spirit world we are same people and have all our memories of this life. Here is a time for to learn and accept Jesus Christ. Also to prepare to meet God.

 

We all from the fall of Adam it bought pain, suffering, and death into world. Christ atonement the event take makes is possible for us to overcome the negative things of life. Christ the pain, sickness, and afflictions of all men. Even death in self was broken.  Making it so that all men may be  resurrected. we learn of the Resurrection in Alma 11  42  Now, there is a death which is called a temporal death; and the death of Christ shall loose the ^abands of this temporal death, that all shall be raised from this temporal death.

 43The spirit and the body shall be ^areunited again in its ^bperfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, ^cknowing even as we know now, and have a bright ^drecollection of all our ^eguilt.  All will be resurrected having  perfect and immortal bodies like the savior. After the Resurrection we will brought to stand before God to be judged.

We will judged by Christ according to  our works  and desires on this earth. We all sin, the purpose of life is to come free of our sins so we can be clean before God. 3 nephi 27 19 And ^ano unclean thing can enter into his kingdom; therefore nothing entereth into his ^brest save it be those who have ^cwashed their garments in my blood, because of their faith, and the repentance of all their sins, and their faithfulness unto the end. To be with God we must come free of sin by our faith and repentance.  Because every one's works and desires vary, heaven includes different kingdoms,or degrees of glory depending upon what we up into it.

This what we Cal the three degree of  Glory's. Which we learn in 1 Corinthians 15 40^aThere are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the ^bcelestial is one, and the glory of the ^cterrestrial is another. 41There is one glory of the ^asun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the ^bstars: for one star ^cdiffereth from another star in ^dglory. 42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in ^acorruption; it is raised in incorruption:

• Celestial Glory its for those that live faithful to Christ Gospel tough out their lives. There by receive the highest glory and to be in Heavenly Father presence

• Terrestrail Glory. For those that refused the gospel  but live honorable lives.

•  Telestial Glory. For those that continued to sin  and didn't repent

All receive glory but it variety according to us. Only in the Celestial Glory can  you be in Heavenly Father  presence and receive a fullness of joy.

Why are We All Here

Does God have a Plan for Me?

Why i am here and what do i need to do?

Is death the end?

 

Babies are born  and people dies almost ever hour on this earth. Is it all by roll of the die, or is their something bigger as work belong then what we can see with our mortal eyes. Their is a God and he lives, he has plan for for us the plan of salvation.  It as been made know to  us by the prophets of the past and prophets today.

 

When Adam and eve were cast of the garden we were then able to have children starting the human family. Like them we all have the power to choose. It up to us to follow Gods plan and have happiness or reject and suffer.

  

 When we were born, we forgot our pre-earth life, which means we have to live by faith rather than our memory of God. To help us through life, God promised that His Spirit would guide and strengthen us. Each time we feel the quiet comfort of His Spirit, we know that God loves us and cares about us.

 

Our life on this earth just small moment in Gods eternal plan for us. Cause the fall of Adam we all born into a fallen state.Which separates us form God presences, suffer physical death and pain, but also spiritual death and suffer cause of ours sins. Thou are are fallen and broken God has provide a power and savior that can rise us up. John 3: 16  For ^aGod so ^bloved the ^cworld, that he ^dgave his ^eonly begotten ^fSon, that whosoever ^gbelieveth in him should not perish, but have ^heverlasting ⁱlife. Jesus came into the world of suffer and die for us, this act is called the atonement. It is way to make us one with God again. To over come spiritual death by our sins and  physical death.  the shedding of his blood in the garden of Gethsemane, his death on the cross and subsequent bodily resurrection from the grave, he made a perfect atonement for all mankind. All are covered unconditionally as pertaining to the fall of Adam. Hence, all shall rise from the dead with immortal bodies, because of Jesus’ atonement.

 

This life is a time for us to prepare to meet God, we are told in the scriptures that God will judges by according to our work in this life. No unclean thing (spiritual) can enter into the kingdom of God. We all sin but tough Christ atonement we can become clean from our sin. In this life we are gain faith in Christ, repent of sins, be baptised by priesthood authority, receive the holy Ghost by the laying on of hands, and live faithful to Christ gospel tough out our lives. Doing we can become clean and free from penalty from our sins. Time on this is limited we don't know when time will run out. So it is best to prepare now, so we aren't caught off guard.
