Elder Jeffrey R. Holland - If we persevere, then somewhere in eternity our refinement will be finished and complete. - www.lds.org/ge... October 2017 General Conference.
"nobody can shop that much"! Oh how I love this man and the gifts he has with words and abilities to interpret and expound the scriptures to be relatable to each of us. Dotted with humour and liberally sprinkled with encouragement! We must not listen to our inner critic, we just must try our best.
This mesaage helped me so much this morning. I literally bully myself everytime I sin or even when I don't sin. That causes doubt, fear, anxiety, and eventually depression. This message soothed my mind and heart, and all those things left my mind. I finally feel relaxed. I wish i waired before sinning because i know God had me run across this message. He helps us even when we feel like we arent worthy.
WOW!!! Are we NOT led by men called of God to teach His words!!! The entire world including myself will only gain peace, joy, understanding, revelation by the holy ghost to live our very best, I never use the word perfection because to me it is not humanely obtainable and we are not asked to be perfect in this life...... we are to seek & love and act as the Saviour did and with His help( repentance and the atonement) and in the next life become perfected as He is! Beautifully said thank you brother Holland for praying and listening to what the Lord wanted to tell all his children!!!! So amazing!!!!!!!!
Ohhhh I absolutely love to listen to Jeffrey R Holland . when I hear him speak you know that he definitely is an apostle of our Lord ,what a wonderful human being he is ...sometimes I feel like he is just speaking directly to me. And he is so humble and you just can feel the love that he has for all of us . I am so grateful that heavenly father loves us enough to give us his servants to help guide us home.
Amazing great man of God he really is a giant in the gospel and his teachings are so inspiring Iam not perfect but Iam trying to please my Lord although is difficult but with Him is beautiful the Lord is merciful
I’m a new convert. Just a one year old toddler Latter Day Saint. I have understood many mysteries of God and now better understand this conundrum of our faith much better. Like Paul who said, those things I should do I do not and those things I shouldn’t do I do. We are human but we have an Atonement that is very powerful. I am progressing. I am thankful!
The meaning is this. When we die in order to be in the presence of God you must be perfect with no sin no blemishes. That's it, The only way u can be perfect is through the blood of his son Jesus. Once you accept his son as Lord and savior u become perfect. Jesus said the will of God is that you believe in the one he sent. The bible is a spiritual book, the living bible. The Holy spirit will reveal all the scriptures meaning. God bless
"Be Ye therefore Perfect, even as your H. Father in Heaven is." A verse the IDS take to mean they need to earn their way. I know he says you won't earn it but the 3 degrees of glory plan is an earned system. But what does it really mean? "That we may present every man PERFECT IN JESUS CHRIST." Colossians 1:28 How does one become Perfect? Through Christ. It is his redeeming blood that gives us a remission of sins so that we are not condemned. . "There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ." Romans 8:1 Surrender your life to Christ and let him transform you and he will make you HIS righteousness. God is the Potter and you are the Pot. Let him make you what he wants you to be and stop trying to earn your way. "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5
So in code he said I Mr c am in prisioned by the Thompson family for eternity this church just cannot accept the fact that I dropped the faith I hold no debt to them not then not ever

charles manson was rather funny he was like but but i want to stay with you joe i am sorry i am sorry then i said names not joe lit the torch and ran my hand over the flame he said doesn't that hurt i said no it's just hell fire i then said you touch it and he didn't so his arm went out anyway and touched it he made a face of torment and instant insanity i said there it's done the guards took him on and then mr cassidy came up and said but i am gay sir i just said you followed true still come home
What a powerful, life-changing talk it is as always from this very inspired, humble servant of God. Thanks very much Elder Holland for always blessing our lives with your heavenly sent messages. Thus, enlightening our minds and inspiring us to do better, become wiser and better people and followers of Jesus Christ!
The judges on American Idol always loved saying that their favorites could "sing the phone book" and they'd love it. Well, Elder Holland could probably go up on stage and read the phone book and I'd love it, but not only does he deliver his message so well, but it always seems to be what I needed to hear. He loves to give the message of comfort to the weak, and that is certainly me.
This man is close to perfect! He is so close to being like Jesus, and I feel that his words make me believe that I can improve every day. I love Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. I love his talks. Every one of them seems to be directed to me. And now that he has lost he beloved wife, and he's in the hospital, I'm aware that Heavenly Father could very well feel it is time for Elder Holland to come home. While I understand he has earned that privilege to join his wife, I selfishly don't want to lose him. I keep all of his talks because every word he says is important to me and to others. There are some talks that make me cry every time I hear them. Elder Holland makes me feel that I can be better. His telling me to never quit, to keep going, keeps me motivated. I love Elder Jeffrey R. Holland!
I needed this talk tonight. Elder Holland always gives such a great talk. I am a very imperfect convert going on 20 years. I am the only member in my family. It's tough. I feel I must prepare for battle everyday just to hold on. This talk was so helpful and inspiring and what I needed to hear and reflect upon. Thank you so much Elder Holland. The church is true. We have a living prophet and apostles on the earth in our day just like the days of Noah, Adam, and Abraham. The heavens are open and God lives. Jesus Christ is my Savior. He invites to come unto Him.
Hold on! I was the only member in my family too! And then my mother joined. Just hold on. Look unto me in every thought. Doubt not, fear not. Doctrine and Covenants 6:36 I believe in you and I believe in Jesus Christ and he is with you every step of the way. Involve him in all that you do and you will be all right. I promise❤️
I'm Just Doing The Best I Can Do.. When I Pray I'm Talking To Heavenly Father And When I Read My Scriptures He's Talking To Me.. So I Talk To Him Everyday And When I Stand Before Him One Day, I Can Say I Did The Best I Could.. Bless You All.
I do love do faithful do greatful do thankful do greatidue do follow do stand do believe do trust do serve Jesus Christ so much as always and forever. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Because no man can measure up to Jesus Christ, that's the point. It's by his mercy alone we're saved. We can walk upright, and love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and still not give Him everything he commands. While we walk in The Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Perfection aka Gods soul. He does the keeping and saving. He said the gates of hell shall not prevail against his church. Not a single moment in time, has God not had a group of true believers on the face of the earth (or else the gate of hell would've prevailed against his church). Even today his true church is underground, and not visible to man made organizations brought about by men (who "heard" from God or an angel), and that angel was an angel of darkness pretending to be an angel of light. To keep people from the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is so tough! Although, I love Jeffrey R Holland, and will back EVERYTHING he says and believe it too. Yet, putting this all into practice seems so daunting. I need to listen over and over! What I do know is to try to do better each day and if I fall get back up and do better the next day and always be on the path of improvement. I want to do better than that, to be perfect.
From a person who is trying to repent, fail, and tries again. I feel like a failure and far from the goal of my repentance jerny. My hope is that God will understand and love me and judge me according to that love. I have faith all this work and failure is worth something in some small level.
He's awesome how he gets all up in your face! Kinda reminds me of Brigham Young when he said, "Shall I tell you the law of God in regards to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his seed with the blood of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so."
Kari Taylor first off, cursing is not the worst thing a person can do. Second, lecturing somebody on a minor display of vulgarity is certainly NOT the way to help them come unto Christ. “Be ye therefore perfect EVENTUALLY” Get over yourself.
Stacey Thompson 😂😂 I love this so much! Thanks for brightening my day! I'm sure if Elder Holland really helped anyone out through this message he helped you! He is a spiritual giant.

He's not saying these things to make church members feel better about their own (relatively minor) personal weaknesses and imperfections. He's saying it to help the members feel better about the (much more significant) words and actions of church leaders who have led the church astray and caused members to question their testimony. Over 50,000 people resign from the church every year over major concerns, such as the church's policies on race, gender equality, treatment of LGBT people and their children, lack of financial transparency, problems with church history that the church has suppressed, problems with the book of mormon, the book of abraham, etc. These are major problems that cannot be simply overlooked as minor human foibles, because they go to the heart of the church's truth claims.

jesus said to go your way and sin no more, this guy's voice will lull you to sleep, but he is not correct. Because by the grace of God when can do all things thru christ who strengthens me. do not settle for the lie, live in perfection, that means live in God's Spirit.
You are a fool. I guarantee you can't read the book of Mormon all the way through and deny it. I have watched hard core atheists think they will prove the book of Mormon wrong and then fail.
I love how he dishes out tough love! Oh, and speaking of love, I LOVE this quote from Brigham Young: "Some classes of the human family... are black, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable and low in their habits, wild, and seemingly deprived of all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind. The first man who committed the odious crime of killing one of his brethren will be cursed... the Lord put a mark upon Cain, which is the flat nose and black skin." THE CHURCH IS TRUE!
Christopher Bradley I'm sorry but does that not seem a little racist to you? The curse of black skin? What? When was it ever a curse to have black skin? Does that mean African American people today are cursed?
"nobody can shop that much"! Oh how I love this man and the gifts he has with words and abilities to interpret and expound the scriptures to be relatable to each of us. Dotted with humour and liberally sprinkled with encouragement! We must not listen to our inner critic, we just must try our best.

Thank you, Elder Holland! We're praying for you! 🙏
Thank you, Elder Holland! I know that you are a living example of the song, “I’m Trying to Be Like Jesus”. You are a good and godly man. Thank you!
Banger!
WONDERFUL TRUTH!
HOLLAND IS A SPIRITUAL GIANT AMONG ALL. I LOVED HEARING HIM IN PERSON IN COLORADO IT WAS A TREMENDOUS BLESSING
Ben Zun do you believe in this man for what he said.... You don't know him well..... To say is easy.... To do, is different
@@southeast1425 he isn't saying that he himself is 100% perfect but he said God is and because of this, we can all perfected through him.
south east Oh believe me, he deos!
WOW!!! Are we NOT led by men called of God to teach His words!!! The entire world including myself will only gain peace, joy, understanding, revelation by the holy ghost to live our very best, I never use the word perfection because to me it is not humanely obtainable and we are not asked to be perfect in this life...... we are to seek & love and act as the Saviour did and with His help( repentance and the atonement) and in the next life become perfected as He is! Beautifully said thank you brother Holland for praying and listening to what the Lord wanted to tell all his children!!!! So amazing!!!!!!!!
Yes! We are not perfect, thank you for this message. I need this tonight, thank you. Heavenly Father Bless You.

"God is perfect..."
Amazing great man of God he really is a giant in the gospel and his teachings are so inspiring Iam not perfect but Iam trying to please my Lord although is difficult but with Him is beautiful the Lord is merciful

Absolutely beautiful. I love the walking the path drunken analogy! That really just made sense to me.
I need to listen to this more.
Allelujah, thank you Jesus for setting us free, thank you for saving us. Come Lord Jesus 🙏🕊️😊
As he would be me as I shall.
I always love hearing Elder Holland! Thank you for this inspiring message. This is for me!
Thank you 😊 Just what I needed to hear.
Thank you Jesus for this message and Thanks @Ysabelle for having this video in your kpop cover Playlist 💖
I loved this great message!
I’m a new convert. Just a one year old toddler Latter Day Saint. I have understood many mysteries of God and now better understand this conundrum of our faith much better.

I know you’re comments a bit old. But it touched my heart. We’re all on this spiritual journey together 👍🏻
I am a new convent in three months months I have issues on flaw on it and I have autism
❤❤❤❤
Hope your still progressing well. I invite you to listen to this talk again (:
When you follow this new covenant path. ( You will never be happy). The
Path of nelson ,you will be lost.
This talked saved me
Amen
💙
Almost a Christian sermon, I pray that all LDS come to the truth of God. The triune God of the Bible.
mdb831 why almost? What does it lack?
Not almost. It is.
The meaning is this. When we die in order to be in the presence of God you must be perfect with no sin no blemishes. That's it, The only way u can be perfect is through the blood of his son Jesus.

That is no true. Otherwise Stephen's stoning makes no sense.
We follow the God of the Bible. I wish more Christians would do so.
7 people are upset because they're not perfect yet.
it's just interesting how the world still believes it could be my son come on but to top it i am still not gay
"Be Ye therefore Perfect, even as your H. Father in Heaven is."
A verse the IDS take to mean they need to earn their way. I know he says you won't earn it but the 3 degrees of glory plan is an earned system.
But what does it really mean?
"That we may present every man PERFECT IN JESUS CHRIST." Colossians 1:28
How does one become Perfect? Through Christ. It is his redeeming blood that
gives us a remission of sins so that we are not condemned.
.
"There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ." Romans 8:1
Surrender your life to Christ and let him transform you and he will make you HIS
righteousness. God is the Potter and you are the Pot. Let him make you
what he wants you to be and stop trying to earn your way.
"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5

I love you President Holland -,,,, you told it like it is:::: much love ❤️ ND ADMINISTRATION ❤❤
Christ bore the burden of perfection, because He knew that there's no way that we can.
Love it! It gives me hope. :)

Who ever do the thumbs down has no soul..
Peace...
So insightful!!!!
Thank you for this sermon
Anyway from what I am seeing they,be defaulted. Ok so stop fear. Is dead up stairs with us big boys or as he once portrayed himself peace
I always love when Elder Holland speak. He is a true Mormon Defender .
He's awesome how he gets all up in your face! Kinda reminds me of Brigham Young when he said, "Shall I tell you the law of God in regards to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his seed with the blood of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so."
Damn this man is my spirit animal
Seriously?????????????? Your comment regarding an Apostle's message contains a cuss word????? My goodness.
Kari Taylor first off, cursing is not the worst thing a person can do.
Second, lecturing somebody on a minor display of vulgarity is certainly NOT the way to help them come unto Christ.
“Be ye therefore perfect EVENTUALLY”
Get over yourself.
He sure is amazing!
Stacey Thompson
😂😂 I love this so much! Thanks for brightening my day! I'm sure if Elder Holland really helped anyone out through this message he helped you! He is a spiritual giant.
Damn this man? Hmmmm. I'm guessing your looking for attention with the word choice. Good glory kid
Did he say eventually? Why is that in the title?
Tia Moore Because that is the totle he chose for his talk. It's that way in the Ensign and on the Church website too.
Because becoming perfect slowly but surely means that it will be a permanent change of heart.
Such a landmark address. God bless you, Elder Holland.
The meaning is this. When we die in order to be in the presence of God you must be perfect with no sin no blemishes. That's it, The only way u can be perfect is through the blood of his son Jesus. Once you do u become perfect. Jesus said the will of God is that you believe in the one he sent. The bible is a spiritual book, the living bible. The Holy spirit will reveal all the scriptures meaning. God bless
Try reading the book of Mormon, it will make you realize you are wrong.
First
He's not saying these things to make church members feel better about their own (relatively minor) personal weaknesses and imperfections. He's saying it to help the members feel better about the (much more significant) words and actions of church leaders who have led the church astray and caused members to question their testimony.

Watch the talk again. What he spoke of is the gospel of Jesus Christ, found right in the scriptures.
I love how he dishes out tough love!

THE CHURCH IS TRUE!
Christopher Bradley I'm sorry but does that not seem a little racist to you? The curse of black skin? What? When was it ever a curse to have black skin? Does that mean African American people today are cursed?
