In addition to things you have shared, Pres Nelson has encouraged us from the beginning of his presidency to "increase [our] capacity to receive personal revelation," to "Hear Him," and to be taught by Jesus Christ himself.
@@Kaydubbbb TRUE, it's sad how many now forget or ignore the actual details and have been deceived so easily! The church had to shut down buildings in many countries because of gov't laws. But all the "righteous Cowboys" want a reason to fight something and apply their version of justice.
Thank you sweetheart for your support of our Prophets and Apostles. We need to be watchful and pray to be led by the Holy Ghost. You are so sweet and precious. 💖
And President Bensons talks. He gave some landmark talks. Pride and Book of Mormon and on the constitution. Also the Proclamation on the Family from President Hinckley.
I couldn't agree more with what you have said regarding President Nelson and the other Apostle's and Prophets of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints! These men are the true Prophets of the Lord! Sincerely, Brother Powers
If they lost their testimonies over the shots,is so sad they never had a testimony.a young girl who joined the early church history wanted to go west with the saints. Her father asked her what if you get their and Brigham young said the church isn’t tue, what will you do. She said I am sorry for you brother Brigham. I know it is true. That’s a testimony. It is independent from others . The Holy Ghost bares truth that we all must seek if we are to survive in these last days. Carol. Apostasy will come when you start thinking that way. Carol you covered this beautifully. Thank you
In JST Matthew 24:24, you brought to our attention the last phrase. What's also important is the first part of that phrase: IF IT WERE POSSIBLE. That tells me that when we do the things that keep us living within our covenants, as we've been counseled by our living prophet, it will NOT be possible for us to be deceived.
@@elliotmorrell425 2 Thessalonians 2 King James Version 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. ... but ... Mathew 4 6 kjv And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. ... the devil is quoting scripture here he knows scripture better then we do witch scripture? ... psalms 91 kjv 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. ... so if the devil knows psalms 91 he knows 2end Thessalonians 2 vs 4 so my point is let me play devils advocate lets say i became the Anti Christ and i know 2 Thessalonians 2 vs 4 and i know i need to never goto the temple and say i am God never shewing himself that he is God i can so lots of other naughty things and make God a liar and why would we have faith in God to save us if he lies? he might be lying about saving us the Anto Christ has come or we are going to lose
I read that to mean, "if you can believe it.". IE, it will be shocking when you see faithful LDS falling to these deceptions. And I certainly saw that with so many putting masks on in 2020 and 2021. It was difficult to believe so many could fall for it. Awful.
I know we are safe if we keep our lamps always burning because the prophet always keeps his lamp burning. But the Foolish didn't apply that counsel to keep buying the oil from the marketplace as the wise did. So the foolish were without oil. While the wise had plenty of oil for the journey to go out and meet the Bridegroom because they obeyed the prophet to get the oil.. But they didn't have spare oil to give to the foolish because you can't convert for someone else....The oil of personal conversion is not sharable. This is why the prophet says you must have your own testimony, you must know for yourself, you can't live on the borrowed light of others.
As we visit the Temple as often as we should and sincerly, prayerfully, meekness with all the fiber of our soul, Our Loving Heavenly Father through the power of the Holy Ghost will reveal the sacred revelation that one could feel confident, the peaceable, overwhelming truths. One would know and not be deceived. In our Savior's name. Jesus Christ, Amen.
This was a great video. You are spot on. I have several friends who left the church because President Nelson and the First Presidency gave a statement about the shot. I must admit I had to do some serious praying to know what I should do and think. What I learned: President Nelson is the Prophet for the whole world, not just the USA. There were countries who wouldn't let people out of their houses without getting it. I have many weird allergies and went to my doctor who told me NOT to get it. My husband had to get it for his job. We went to the temple, prayed and received the answers we needed to make the choice for our best interests. I did not get it, my husband did...after he got a Priesthood Blessing. The Holy Ghost has witnessed to me that Russell M Nelson is a true Prophet and I will listen to his words. If I have a question I pray, and pray HARD. Yes we are in a war with evil but if we stay close to the Spirit and hold to the rod, it will be hard to deceive us. Thanks for this.❤❤❤
Yeah it was a rough time for many when the brethren started pushing the shot on social media and through their leaders in the stakes. Many left the church because of churches pushing the vaccine. I never seen the church align with man in that manner before in my life.
What this woman in the temple said about the prophet of Zion is not even correct. For all the scriptures point to Zion being in control in the hands of the Lord in the last days. Nowhere in scripture does it say that Zion is of the Anti Christ. Or that the saints are preparing for the 1000 year reign of Anti Christ. For the scriptures teach that Christ reigns on the earth personally for a thousand years with his saints in peace and righteousness. The scriptures tell you that the Lord speaks his voice from out of Zion in the last days..And in Zion will be peace and joy and everlasting songs..And the meek and the poor shall trust in it, and zion and her convert shall be redeemed with judgement and with righteousness (Isaiah)... That is hardly the description of an anti christ kingdom. And that is why the Lord has got living prophets and apostles on the earth to speak for him in our day and time from out of Zion. Joel 3:15-20. Because Zion is the Kingdom of God. The foolish virgins somehow got it wrong, they were not consistent in filling up their lamps.
I believe each person must pray, as you've said. I prayed about our leaders, and I know President Nelson is a true Prophet of our Heavenly Father. I have been a member over 4o years, and I prayed before I joined and the Holy Ghost witness to me then just as He does now. We must stay faithful and obedient to God. Then we will not be deceived.
I played very hard as well about getting the vaccine, but honestly could not get an answer. I wanted to follow the prophet but could not feel good about getting it. I went back and forth for a long time, in the end I used my own research & listened to what my inner voice was telling me & chose not to get it for many reasons. I still do not understand the prophets stand but I am glad I didn’t get the shot but still support our prophet.
AMEN!! I'm only about a third of the way through the video but I completely agree. A couple years ago, I saw a lot of false Christ attitudes and people on FB, Telegram, and other social media. I stopped following FB groups, etc, and I don't spend much time there anymore.
In early Spring, 2020 I felt the whole thing was wrong from the start. This was long before they rolled out the Vs. I prayed very sincerely why the church would be supporting what I believed to be an evil agenda. Each time I finished praying I had the overwhelming feeling from the Spirit that it was indeed wrong and I should not participate. I guess I didn't want to hear that answer, so I kept praying asking the same question...and getting the same answer. Finally on June 17th I prayed and told God I would stop doubting Him and accept that answer. The following morning, a little after 4AM, an angel visited me in my bedroom and commended me on my faith and that I was indeed correct in what I was doing. The angel was a young woman who was dressed in a pure white robe. She even gave me her first and last name that she had in life (whom I later matched up with her obituary). After it ended, I was left with the most powerful and overwhelming feeling of peace and joy in my entire life.
My family was blessed for not supporting it. I work on a military base and I never wore a mask even though I could have been arrested by the federal mandate. God protected me. None of my family got sick even though we never participated, and my son was held back to receive his mission call 2 weeks after the church ended the V requirement. My family saw miracles because we stayed faithful in staying away from the antichrist system.
I am glad that you prayed. I didn't have a problem taking them. Honestly I guess I just feel like that whole thing got out of hand but I am glad that you had that experience I think that that is so neat
Regarding the shot, Pres. Nelson also said to speak to your trusted medical provider, to pray about it, and to make your own choice He was trying to calm the people who were thinking the shot was the Mark of the Beast.
@@d.porter3142 I didn't get the shot because I felt it was wrong for me. Strongly felt it was wrong. I never once, ever, thought that Pres. Nelson was lying. Never. Still don't. I don't know why you or anyone else would jump to that conclusion (i.e. "he lied").
Nelson and the brethren said the vax was safe and effective, posted it on social media as a miracle, talked about it for 2 GC's, and the lower leadership pushed it for a year+. A dark stain in church history similar to blacks and the priesthood
@@d.porter3142 @lostinthailand9487 The Prophet urged people to do all they could to be good global citizens to help quell the pandemic by getting immunized, wear masks, and practice safe distancing. He encouraged us to speak and counsel with medical professionals and said “Individuals are responsible to make their own decisions about vaccination.” We each were given the opportunity to practice an earlier quote from our Prophet about how we would not survive spiritually without learning to hear the Holy Ghost and learn how we hear Him. This incident really did cause people to study, ponder and pray to receive an answer for themselves. Interesting to me is that people felt impressed by the spirit for their personal circumstance.
So President Nelson as an example got the shot. He also encouraged anyone who was in the high risk category to get it but he didn’t tell anyone that our salvation was dependent upon this one medical thing.
I have a testimony about everything happening today. Your post is very timely. I'm a 2 time breast cancer survivor. I had just started chemotherapy March 2020. I prayed to ask Heavenly Father if i should one get the shot and two continue chemotherapy. The answer was no, do not get the shot. Yes, stop the chemotherapy. I knew this was against my doctors advice, but Jesus Christ has passed down his power through the Holy Ghost. I turned to my husband and priesthood leaders for a priesthood blessing. I'm still here, i was cancer in 2022. I've conquered cancer twice through the Grace of God. I have been diagnosed with breast cancer again for a third time. I will continue to trust God to heal me this time, too. I'm using holistic methods. I've changed my diet to more vegetarian, and i use Asea Redox supplements. Also, I am sensitive to the 5g towers. That's another story. I would gladly explain how that contributed to the cancer.
Kaitlyn, thank you for starting this channel and this topic!! ❤ I really look forward to hearing more from you! I'm 67 yrs old, but am honestly still an infant to the gospel, as I was active until my mid twenties and then inactive until approx 6 years ago. Needless to say, I need all the good help I can get! And actually there are some TH-cam podcasts that are kinda starting to push the envelope on whether they truly support and sustain the prophet and church leaders.. I've heard some good, and even great ideas they share, but it's frequently laced with some ideas that could confuse some members, and it could create some feelings of distrust towards the general authorities, if you're looking for someone who could lead you away, to believe that some church policies are wrong, or questionable, and they create controversy. So thank you for your strong testimony and faith. Please keep telling it real. And don't ever start mincing words, especially when it comes to the church! ❤👍Thanks!!
What it says is "if it were possible, even the elect could be deceived". If we are the elect and are livign our covenants AND have the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, we become the Children of Light (Doc & Cov 106). Also, I believe that the parable of the 10 Virgins is about Temple Recommend/temple going members, not all members. The Virgins had all accepted the invitation to the feast and were waiting on it. The feast is the temple and beyond.
Incredible podcast Thanks! “Follow the Prophet don’t go Astray” I find that when I stay close to the Spirit and involve Christ in my DAILY life - decernment is present for me. Like you less than minutes I see the Bad Medicine” a native description of something not right or good! I am Native American and was taught to be aware of evil and the deceiver. As a member of the church I see it too. Staying close to God our Creator is the only way to keep us away from the deceivers. And lately there has been movements in deceit!! God Bless us!
I got Covid in February of 2020. I got deathly ill, but worked through it. I had been less active so I never heard what the Prophet said at the time, but when my work tried to force it on me my whole Being said NO! This is the same feeling I had when deciding whether to go back to work after my first child was born. That answer shook my being as well. I am certain that we are to pray about all things. I don’t feel that I went against the prophet, but I went through a tremendous amount of opposition for my views and lost my job over it. My personal views are that anything that the government tries to force on us needs to be scrutinized, immensely! The Lord doesn’t force anything. He invites and admonishes, but never does He force us.
Some people have been brought into disciplinary councils and excommunicated for teaching people to not wear masks and to not get the jab against the words of the Prophet. I'm glad you were safe from this and that you followed the Holy Ghost as you should, protecting yourself and your loved ones
The presidency is from a different generation,president Nelson is Surgeon, he had to make those choices. They travel, they also had to make decisions for the whole, not just one. You make the decision as seemed best for yourself. Use your own free agency. He is still a prophet and I believe that’s why he’s saying you much keep your own testimony strong! So your ability to choose what’s best for you may not be what’s best for others. Respect and love to all!❤❤
This all counts down to the fact that you have to listen to the spirit! There are many many saints around the world that will never be deceived because they have learned out how to HEAR THE SPIRIT!!!! That takes a lot of practice. Many people across the world can't even read and write and they can't go into deep study. Maybe later on Heavenly Father will help them learn but you CAN'T DEPEND ON ANY PERSON TO BE COMPLETELY 100 PERCENT ACCURATE IN THEIR INFORMATION. You have to take everything to the Lord for YOUR OWN CONFIRMATION!!!!!!!! Over learned this over 71 years of trying my hardest to follow Jesus Christ! Yes, in an old lady! LISTEN, READ, PAY ATTENTION TO THE GOOD THINGS IN THE WORLD AND ALWAYS "FOLLOW THE SPIRIT"!!!!
Perfect timing with a live stream going on right now with a certain Chief. You will never go wrong following our prophet. Three nurses and I witness a miracle today right in front of us. We have the gift the priesthood.This is the true church. Think back on the miracles you have seen. Ask for the power of the Holy Ghost and you will never be deceived.
Not sure what problem you have with the “Chief”. He doesn’t pull you away from the church or the prophet. He might vent! I believe he has history & evidence that the Book of Mormon is true as prophesied would happen in the last days.
Yes, it is so clear and obvious that he is a false prophet. He even has stated that he is the Davidic servant in the last days, and that he has scriptures or scrolls that are superior to the Bible and the book of Mormon. So even the elect, even though they have been shown, and told about this guy still will follow him, very sad.
An important point to remember - the letter from the first presidency said to listen to trusted medical professionals and government officials. Both the medical prof and the officials were for and against shot & masks. It was left up to us what to do. It was not a commandment either way. I chose to listen to different medical professionals and government officials than you and still know this is Christ's gospel upon the earth and that Pres Nelson is his prophet!
I agree, I think the elect- doesn’t mean those in leadership positions, but anyone who maintains a temple recommend, and is fully worthy. It is that precious soul whom they’re trying to deceive.. .. My heart goes out to the woman in the temple, who honestly thought our prophet might be fallen. That’s so unfortunate for her. Thanks for sharing this with us!
I'd like to add to what Kimberly Olsen (below) said. I too struggled about getting the "vaccine". I was torn, and prayed about it a lot before I came to my decision. It came down to this: I believe Pres. Nelson IS the Lord's prophet on the earth today. I don't think the Lord would let His prophet deceive or misdirect His church. However, I can, and do, ALSO pray to get feelings, guidance, and answers for myself. I concluded that I WOULD follow the first presidency's admonition to get the vaccine. I figured that maybe part of the reason to encourage us was so the government would have no excuse to shut the church down further, especially TEMPLE work! I also prayed that if there WAS anything harmful in the "vaccine" that the Lord would neutralize it so it would be harmless to those who did go ahead and get it. (I was 68 at that time) I only had the first two Phizer shots, with no ill effects that I'm aware of. I have no plans to get any additional shots, but I'm going to pray about each instance that comes up, and then do my best to follow the Prophet, and my heart. It really doesn't matter if we live or die. But the intent of our hearts matter, and our willingness to trust the Lord to guide us as we navigate these last days. And I accept that we might not always fully understand the whole picture. Each of us has to have our individual conversation with the Lord, and follow the promptings we receive. It will ALL work out in the end. 😌
@@Jeanie-nv7lo The only thing I heard at first was that the first presidency was saying to go ahead and get the vaccine. I didn't see a written statement, or anything else at that time. Perhaps I missed it or it came out a bit later. So I was just going on what I was aware of at that moment. None of my comments were meant negatively towards the leadership or President Nelson. I was just trying to explain the process I went through, at the time, to make my decision. I'm not sure how that's a poyson shot.
You know how many people like to say, "But the prophets aren't perfect and they can be wrong, and so I need to receive my own revelation about this subject that thr prophet has spoken about." Well, it is true that we are meant to seek after our own revelation from God, but it is to confirm our understanding and faith in what the prophets say, not to open up thr possibility that we will receive revelation contrary to what the prophet has said. That is the high road to apostasy - to think that you know better than the prophet. If you think about it, have the scriptures ever said or given an example wherein a person was excused from following the prophet because the Lord told some individual differently than ehat the prophet had said? No, the Lord's house is a house of order. The miracle is that the Lord can lead us correctly through fallible people, not that he makes them perfect. And we are not excused from following them even though they have got certain things wrong or confused at times, for a time. In "Two Lines of Communication," President Oaks teaches clearly thst priesthood revelation and personal revelation are meant to support each other, not to compete. Wonderful talk.
True. We have 15 prophets. Oaks will be in the lead soon... It's talking about the 'hello Saints ' page. All of those bishops entertaining preachers. Bishops are the elect too
I haven’t listened to much of his stuff but I actually liked the one with tyler griffin (I think that’s who it was) I feel like different faiths having discussions is good if it’s done in good faith. Some of the stuff that I’ve seen with just him he is critical.. and picking things apart.. yet when he joins with faith filled people I feel like they are just helping him understand better and it helps because I feel like they can defend the faith when they are on… 🤷🏻♀️ (but like I said I haven’t watched most of his videos so I don’t really know much about what’s been going on) this video wasn’t really about that channel.. but if it helped I’m glad 😆
I was unsure about "the shot" but when Pres. Nelson received his, I felt more comfortable with it. Pres. Nelson seems so loving and caring and I know he has received inspiration for all of us. I have never been able to grasp how some people could think otherwise. For me, witnessing the come follow me come out and then COVID keeping us from physically going to church was certainly something that increased my testimony about our living prophet receiving revelation in our day.
It’s crazy that you posted this video today because last night, I was in the comments of two LDS TH-camrs. And I just straight up asked them both, have you seen…. And if so, how can you still support…. They both told me they have seen…. One of them said they were working on a response. The other referred me to an interview where they defended…. I told them I will definitely watch it and get back to them and they ❤️ the comment. I watched the full 50 minute interview and my mind was blown. They went as far as to take a scripture about the second coming of Jesus Christ, and leave out the verse’s about Christ coming and the mountains being made low and valleys disappearing, in order to make it sound like it applied to…. So they could use that scripture to defend…. I could not believe it. I did write a long response to them pointing out all the things I could remember from that interview that I took issue with and why. And I explained that I wasn’t doing this out of hate or judgement, I’m doing it because what I’m seeing goes against the kingdom of god. I have not gotten a response. I asked the other TH-camr about his viewers being possibly deceived by certain content he posts. He said he doesn’t think most peoples testimonies are that weak. I responded by asking him, if only one of his viewers has their testimony damaged, isn’t that one too many??One of his viewers responded by saying that we are responsible for our own testimony and we’ve been instructed on how to protect it. I responded by saying that we are also not supposed to cast a stumbling block before others, and I reminded him what Cane said to the Lord after he slew Able. “Am I my brothers keeper?” Yes. We are our brothers keeper. Maybe it’s my own ignorance, but I cant believe I am witnessing members of the church offering up their platforms to be Satans P.R. Campaign. My watchlist has been narrowed down to your channel, as well as Jared from Christian homestead. David Alexander Sometimes ward radio depending on the video. And a few come follow me channels. By the way, thank your for sharing your temple cleaning experience. The way you related it to the prodigal son was perfect. Really enjoyed both of your videos today
I always appreciate your comments thank you!! I appreciate you lifting your voice for truth. I agree that if I caused one person to lose their testimony I would be held accountable because of the information that I provided that caused it. I think we should treat everyone like they have weak testimonies because we are all capable of being deceived…
@@AnticipatingChristsreturn thank you. And I 100% agree. My grandma has roots in the foundation of the church and she was telling me last night that a relative of hers was next in line to be the prophet. But he refused to acknowledge that the polygamy at the time was ordained of god and he left the church and lost his testimony. If it can happen to someone like him, as well as the witness to the gold plates. It can literally happen to any one of us. I appreciate what you said about my comment because sometimes I’m afraid to post them because I’ve only been studying the gospel for a little over a year. So I’m afraid of posting false information. But I try to go with what the spirit tells me.
@@AnticipatingChristsreturnIf your intent is too preach by the Spirit, you have no problem with whether people get offended or not. I wouldn’t worry about it. I just subscribed to your channel. I heard about it from Jared at Christian Homestead channel. I’ve called out many LDS channel owners and members commenting over their COVID comments, including talking about the TH-cam videotape of the SandPoint Stake Conference. I lit into many of them for bashing their Stake President and the Area Authority Seventy there. I explained that the jab was not a sin and that the Church wasn’t pushing the vaccine. These channels attract ex members of the Church who brag about leaving the Church, along with members who bragged about not getting the vaccine and commenting how President Nelson was a false prophet. I’ve left FB, after having criticizing them for their sins or people trashing me for my political vote or the vaccine, including Church members. I write negative reviews for most social media apps, I give them feedback and I’ve let them have it for many reasons. I’m just disillusioned with people in the Church on social media. I find very few channels whose owner can teach by the Spirit. You do. I appreciate that. Please keep it up. People in the Church are just mean to one another on social media. Always teach by the Spirit if you don’t want to lead people astray. Always listen and obey the Spirit. Never teach Church doctrine without the Spirit.
@@cindlou7335 I received a spiritual witness of the savior that changed me forever just a few months before my 30th birthday. I’m 31 now. So that’s why I say maybe it’s my ignorance because compared to most members, I’m still a baby. But I never would have thought that soooo many members of the church are this out of touch with the holy ghost. It’s such a sad thing to see. I know have a new understanding of where Russell M. Nelson is coming from when he constantly pleads with us to prepare for the second coming. The strong members are responsible for helping to look after the weaker members. And I’m not calling myself a strong member because I’m not perfect either. But those of us who hear the Holy Ghost have a responsibility to try to help those who struggle to hear. Up until this point, I guess I just assumed that most members knew the scriptures on a level that made my own knowledge and understanding seem amateurish. I just feel let down, but I also am sad for them and for our Heavenly Father. I don’t know how else to describe how I feel about this whole thing.
When the prophet encouraged (not commanded) us to get the shot immediately known it was something that he wanted me to consult my Dr and ponder about. Im tired of people blaming him for how it turned out. We need to have the spirit with us and not blindly obey what we think the prophet said.
@@lostinthailand9487 you need to go re-read that letter. Read like a lawyer would read. They didn't encourage everyone to take the rona vaccine specifically. They just said, "To provide personal protection from such severe infections, we urge individuals to be vaccinated. Available vaccines have proven to be both safe and effective." You can interpret that phrase any way you want to interpret it. There are lots of vaccines. Lots. Also, which "severe infections"? "Such"? What does that even mean? You need to forgive him, and do whatever you need to do to reconcile yourself to this, because it's still bothering you, obviously.
@@lostinthailand9487 1. "urged" not "commanded" 2. The spirit told that what he meant was for us to consult our Dr and ponder if it was right for us. 3. What would have happened to the saints if the church was against the shot? Especially since some of the powers that be are attacking Christianity.
President Wilford Woodruff (1807-98) declared that we can have full confidence in the direction the prophet is leading the Church: “The Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as President of this Church to lead you astray.
There is more than one way to interpet that statement. You could argue that he meant that the Holy Ghost will clearly tell you that the prophet is teaching false doctrine and you should not follow it.
@@fightingfortruth9806 yes I agree we must learn to listen to and follow the Holy Ghost which the true prophets teach. Hear Him is the cry of President Nelson which for me rings true. We each must come to know for ourselves or we may be deceived by the philosophies and wisdom of men in these last days. This is my story and testimony. I was raised a Lutheran by a Catholic father and Lutheran mother who rarely attended any church. They however made sure my brother, sister and I were sent to church. I'm forever grateful for parents who cared enough to see that I got some religious training in my youth. I'm grateful to the Lutheran church for introducing me to Jesus Christ the Son of God. By the prayer of faith and the witness of the Holy Ghost I learned as a child that Jesus is the true Son of God who lives today as a resurrected being in heaven with God the Father. I know that he atoned for the sins of all mankind on the cross and opened the way for the resurrection and salvation of all men. In my early teens I questioned my parents, church and leaders on their authority and knowledge. I rebelled against society and became a hippie looking for love in all the wrong places and doing all the wrong things. However, God in his great mercy chose to chasen and awaken me to the error of my ways. This happened at Woodstock 1969(when I was 19) during a near death experience while I was abusing my body with those bad things of the day. I found myself in hell tormented by all my sins and then reflected upon my childhood belief in Jesus Christ and called upon his name to save me. He heard my voice and delivered me back to life. I was born again and made a promise that day to change my life and go and do what the Lord wanted me to do. He led me by the Bible and the Holy Spirit over the next nine months to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where I was baptized in the Atlantic Ocean at Smith Point Fire Island, NY on June 27th 1970. I know by personal revelation and the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Savior of all mankind and He has led me to the prophet Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon and the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which I know to be true by the power of the Holy Ghost. Please seek, read, ponder and pray concerning these things and you too can know they are true by the power of the Holy Ghost I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
@@fightingfortruth9806 I agree we must have ears that hear and eyes that see so we can see eye to eye in the Lord. The Holy Ghost will help us to "Hear Him" who president Nelson has challenged us to do.

I listened very closely when the prophet speaks. Encouraged us to take the shot. He didn’t tell us we had to. He specifically said. We’re going to shut down the churches to be good citizens. He never said you must get the shot. Present Nelson truly wants us to learn to use the personal revelation that we been promised. In reality in today’s world, so many things need to be by personal revelation.
Our leadership gives us what we need to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. In other words , they give us the information we need to then to take it to the Lord in personal pray to get out personal answers regarding these issues. Joseph Smith told us he taught the people principles and THEN they governed themselves. He didn't tell them exactly what to do .......God did in personal prayer, he governed their lives if they were willing to put in the time to take their concerns to him in prayer. I'm not saying we don't need prophets and apostles. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! I love the mostly MILK they feed us at conference! But it takes study( reading esp which i could improve on more), talking to others, listening to others but i think most of all discussing these things with our Father in Heaven!!!! When our phones are laptops are useless, or someday when the internet goes away, when hard times we cannot even imagine come, when we may be isolated from our leaders or even friends WHO CAN WE DEPEND ON? OUR PRAYER AND GREAT PERSONAL TEACHER, the one we've been depending on all this time! Sorry but this was a good discussion to talk about! I have strong ideas about it!
Excellent points! I would add that our temporal preparedness ought to include some things for temporal spiritual preparedness. If there is a time when we don't have access to the gospel library or the internet, or our prophets, we ought to have what we can in hard copy. Things like our scriptures, the conference addresses, our patriarchal blessings. I fear too many rely on digital versions of everything, and if we loose power or the internet, it will really spiritually hobble folks.
@@Jeanie-nv7lo Oh, that's such a good idea! I love that! In 2020 I started to make it a point to always get the journal edition of General Conference, so I will have those in hard copy (and a few especially meaningful ones from before that time). I also printed out my patriarchal blessing, and my mothers, fathers, and grandparents. And I've tried to get any particularly meaningful pictures printed, as well. And I bought an updated road atlas. You just never know what's coming, and having a few things like that brings some peace of mind.
Let's see exactly what Jesus says For in those days there shall also arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that, IF POSSIBLE, they shall deceive the very elect, who are the elect according to the covenant. And whoso treasureth up my word, SHALL NOT BE DECEIVED. We have the Gift of the Holy Ghost and we are commanded to FEAST upon the words of Christ, more especially from The Book of Mormon and the continuous revelation from one general conference to the next. Indeed, we are frail in our humanity, but what is being urged upon us? HEAR HIM. THINK CELESTIAL Charity is celestial. Continue striving to surrender our will in the will of Christ until His will becomes our will. OVERCOME THE WORLD: the bondage of SELF!
The prophet still respected our agency even with the SHOT . He no doubt was concerned how many could die because of COVID... And not that many people over all, had a bad reaction from the shot. He never commanded us to be vaccinated.
23:16 it’s true there are those who would “add in” to lead some from the truth. How do you feel about it when the church “leaves out” things which are true, but which might not be faith promoting? What do you think of Boyd K Packer’s claim that not all truth is useful to be shared? It happens with big things such as the BOM translation process and smaller things such as saying that we comply with zoning ordinances in temple building while simultaneously pressuring cities and towns under threat of litigation to grant wild exceptions of over 100 feet for steeple height. Both sides should be seen for what they are, what they say, and what they do.
In Teachings of the Presidents of the Church, Chapter 27 "Beware the Bitter Fruits of Apostasy," there is much that explains how ignoring our priesthood leaders makes us vulnerable to apostasy: “I will give you one of the Keys of the mysteries of the Kingdom. It is an eternal principle, that has existed with God from all eternity: That man who rises up to condemn others, finding fault with the Church, saying that they are out of the way, while he himself is righteous, then know assuredly, that that man is in the high road to apostasy; and if he does not repent, will apostatize, as God lives.” Heber C. Kimball, while serving as a counselor to President Brigham Young, reported: “I will give you a key which Brother Joseph Smith used to give in Nauvoo. He said that the very step of apostasy commenced with losing confidence in the leaders of this church and kingdom, and that whenever you discerned that spirit you might know that it would lead the possessor of it on the road to apostasy.” There is more; I suggest reading the whole chapter.
Read the Official Declaration #1 in the Doctrine and Covenants. Wilford Woodruff received through revelation, the answer. The Lord will never let the Prophet lead the Church astray.
I want to add my testimony as well. The prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson is a true and living prophet. Called by God. Appointed to lead us directly in these times and days in which we live. He will not deceive us. Everything in this video is good and true and right. Because she is correctly pointing all of us to our living prophet today, and not away from! If any are in doubt. Remember "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me." John 13:20
We got the shot because, my son has left lung problems. My husband was told that if he got it he would die. I wanted to protect them. I prayed for a long period of time about this than the prophet said that, it answered my question.
This was one of the lies the media told about how effective the shot was. But it didn’t really prevent anyone from getting covid. Most people got it multiple times who had been vaccinated.
I would say he gives us to what we need to be wise as serpents and innocent as gives doves! In other words he gives us what we need to then take the issues to Heavenly Father in prayer and receive our own revelation as to the truth for us personally. We have to put in the time with him to get the answers. NO OTHER WAY!!!!!
Agree 10000% about not needing to look outside the collected scripture for increased learning. There is MORE to learn from the Book of Mormon and Isaiah than most of us have taken time and effort to gain.. 1 Nephi 1:1...having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God,... The prophet pleaded with us to desire to understand what the fullness of the Holy Ghost might be like. The prophet wants us to have a higher holier life! How many times has he counseled us to increase our reception of revelation and prophecy in our lives? That we will not be able to survive the last days without it. He is telling us to go to the source, as he is, and be taught. Not seperate from his council at all but in harmony.
I feel like those people who minimize the prophet by saying things like “we don’t have to be told by the prophet, we don’t have to wait for the prophet to tell us, my own personal revelation over the prophet’s revelation” and so on… these are the people with higher chance of being deceived.
Regarding the shot, I remembered. I think it was Thomas S. Monson who said that we didn't have to take the counsel of the prophets by their word but that we could go and ask for ourselves and listen for the Lord, who would give us testimony. I did this after hearing the prophet about the shot. I did have to back my thoughts up and be willing to accept what the Lord's counsel is. I was distinctly impressed that I was okay not to take the shot. I'm glad I have a relationship with the Lord and can sustain His prophet. The Lord doesn't want us to follow blindly but to have a mind for ourselves.
THANK YOU! The people sowing seeds of doubt and preaching against the prophet are themselves the fulfillment of these prophecies about the last days. Ironically they try using latter-day scripture and revelation to refute latter-day scripture and revelation... I've learned that the gift of discernment for me operates a lot like the prophet Joseph Smith's statement "by proving contraries, truth is made manifest." Some falsehoods are so near the truth that rather than have a lightbulb moment of discernment in the moment, it is revealed to me over time as I contrast that over and over with other truths I already know. Also, when in history has it ever gone right for people who rejected the prophets?
I hear that a lot; about *the* Prophet being deceived. They completely ignore the MANY quotes and revelations about the Prophet not being able to lead people astray, in favor of "don't trust in the arm of flesh", and because no Prophet is perfect like Christ, they cling to the idea that trusting the Prophet is trusting in the arm of flesh, and therefore he doesn't really count. 😑 It's popular with folks who try to discount whoever the current Prophet is, so that they can claim that the church as a whole is led astray. It's pretty prideful really. As Elder Renlund said, "Hubris never bodes well " Also, we are blessed with discernment in the temple, if we are faithful to our covenants...
The scriptures have numerous examples of true prophets and apostles being deceived. David, Solomon, Judas, Peter (denied Christ). A great example is Lehi who began to murmur when Nephi broke his bow. Was Nephi wrong to not "follow the prophet" and murmur with him, instead of taking initiative to build a new bow? The idolatry of prophets is a modern stumbling block among LDS. Every man is responsible for what he does, following another man won't get you out of accountability, prophet or not.
About the shot , i was very desturbe if i should get it or not then those thoughts came to my mind. Follow the Prophet he knows the way. After that i did feel peace. But it is true, we have to make our own choises.
I would say to hover as closely as possible, LIGHT, follow that light and stay as close as possible!! Light cannot allow any darkness in, and the more you stay in it, the safer and surer we will be.
This was great. Thank you. We still get to choose. President Nelson, a doctor, I felt he did what the Gov wanted. My children didn’t get it either. I think of the 12 article of faith. Anyway this was a good discussion. Thank you.
World Bank document 4/2/2020 Said they would get govt leaders, media, and religious leaders to push Covid protocols… because of peoples’ worries about liberties being taken away. Absolute truth and that’s how it went down.
Some additional information. Chief migegah of the ojibwe nation and the birch bark scrolls. The nemenhah records. "New Zealand skeletons in the cupboard "
Matthew 24:24 “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
The scripture the woman was probably basing her belief upon was Daniel 11:22. This section is commonly understood as an Apostle or even the Prophet being deceived by the anti Christ.
Thank you so much for your courage with this video! Also, as far as the shot…Stratagem (where have we learned about that?) was necessary for a worldwide church. As a lawyer, Morgan Philpot points to the words and punctuation in the Church’s statement. Immunization vs. vaccination etc. They told us to figure out how we Hear Him.
I was accused of not believing in the prophet or church anymore by those who are really close to me because I didn’t feel I was supposed to get the shot. Even when I pointed out that I saw wisdom and stratagem in what the church was doing. We have a right to personal revelation for ourselves and I chose not to go against the revelation I received. I think Heavenly Father expects that of us in all decisions. To not blindly follow but to study it out in our hearts and our minds. The How Do You Hear Him campaign was a timely gift that we should continue to employ. The use of stratagem was taught so consistently in The Book of Mormon. We should expect the confusion to continue and that will require continuous personal revelation.
Ezekiel states, “If a prophet is deceived into giving a message, it is because I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet. I will lift my fist against such prophets and cut them off from the community of Israel” (Ezek. 14:9 NLT).
And in regards to the Antichrist I have a hard time dismissing the explicit detail given in Daniel and Isiah- it could be an institution but there are so many personifications used to describe it or him.
According to the guide to the scriptures “Antichrist See also Devil Anyone or anything that counterfeits the true gospel plan of salvation and that openly or secretly opposes Christ. John the Revelator described the antichrist as a deceiver (1 Jn. 2:18-22; 4:3-6; 2 Jn. 1:7). The great antichrist is Lucifer, but he has many assistants, both spirit beings and mortals.”
Pres Woodruff said one day in the salt lake valley one would not be able to tell the difference between an enemy or friend of the church, that is unless you have the spirit of true desernment. Don't have the exact quote, sorry. Just had some friends who left the church try to convince me with my family to move to Missouri with them to prepare for the Saviors return. Funny how they want me to follow them as if they are the prophet. They think every prophet from JS to today are fallen, except JS.
I think that it says, "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened...insomuch that, IF it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matt 24:22-24
Read 1 & 2 John closely. On multiple occasions the antichrist is defined as ANYONE who denies Jesus Christ. It isn't just one person we should be waiting for.
If you don’t want to be deceived then start studying from true doctrinal sources on not being deceived. I suggest using the citation index app and looking up talks with the key phrase “be deceived” as an exact phrase under talks. Yes you can be deceived, but you don’t have to be. The Spirit of God cannot be deceived.
Hi Sister, I just found your channel. You mentioned when the spirit told you to get out of something or somewhere and referenced a video. Which of your videos is that?
We need to be educated in the scriptures and the gospel teachings, as well as be visiting the temple as often as possible, practice in prayer for your descernment to be strong and clear, and doing & practice things which will invite the Holy Ghost to be and stay with you at all times. If you're not sure, and you are earnestly asking in prayer, the best and safest thing to do a long with those things is to: 1. ALWAYS stay as close as possible to your church authorities, including your Bishop, and his counselors. The closer we stay to our ward leaders, stake leaders, etc, the greater body of the church won't lead you astray. And you can ask for a blessing for protection and discernment,. Rely upon the priesthood holders and ward leaders to advise you, if you can't find an answer, and trust that they will be truthful, and help you!
When reading our scripture we need to really read it. Many people assume the elect will be deceived. Yet, the scriptures say “…IF IT WERE POSSIBLE , they shall deceive the very elect.”
Are you not seeing that members are being deceived? I think you are mistaken to think that we won’t be deceived. President Nelson and others have said other wise too.. also in Luke 21 he says “8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.” Take heed!!! Guard your testimony, protect it, do the spiritual work required.
Yes, it is critical that we really read the scriptures carefully. If you read the JST for Matthew 24--which is Joseph Smith-Matthew 1-- you will have a slightly different understanding of Matthew 24: 24. Read JS-Matthew 1:22. The word "were" is not there. The sense we are left with is that there will be some of the elect for whom it will be possible to be deceived. Keep in mind the elect are all those who have made covenants with God, not just leaders.
Thank you. Good insights. Incidentally, a Russian version of the Bible reads this: For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. This is a slight but significant difference from the English version.
Message to the whole world. It's enough. It's Time Allaah ❤ ❤ ❤ The Almighty The Creator of all Will INTERVENE. Jews, christians, moslims...changed the scripture of God ❤❤❤Almighty The Creator of all. They created their own religion claiming it's from The God ❤❤❤Almighty. Allaah ❤❤❤The Almighty The Creator of all Will INTERVENE.
The elect won't be deceived. "If it were possible." The point is that if it was not for the Lord protecting us, even we would be deceived, the deception is going to be that great.
Shen you say reading the B of M over and over, and that it may sound boring, we need to remember that God won't send/ give us more than we're prepared to receive. There aren't that many members who know the Bof M that fully, including the rest of the scriptures. Then he will allow more revealed to us.
Clearly it is possible because it is happening before our eyes…people that have made covenants and yet leave the path… how does that happen? I wish I could remember the exact verse. It was within our study of the Book of Mormon Another Testament of Christ within the last month. Something about when we sin against the light and truth, than we can lose that knowledge and forget what we once knew. I will get back to you on that reference.
The problem with the prophet and the jab is that people forget he wasn't telling us to 109% get it. He also told us to Pr😢ay about it. My husband needed it or couldn't get a transplant. So for us it was a yes. If you prayed and got a no, you followed the prophet. I also was a temple worker and it was required. There are so many false prophets. A good example occurred in Idaho. We should only follow those who follow the prophet.
Line upon line, precept on precept that is how he guides us, that is how he teaches his children. Line upon line upon line upin line upon line upon line....upon line.
25Behold, I have told you before. 26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
I have become rather exhausted with the CV narrative pertaining to the Prophet. More specifically I felt the spirit at times in my life that were pointing me in the direction of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And a year after being baptized, I saw people on both sides of that argument telling me that if I don’t get it, then I’m going to be cut off and others who said if you get it, then you will be cut off and anything else in between. But what I knew is that the Holy Ghost fell upon me when I read the book of Mormon and pointed me towards Truth that I never thought even existed let alone could’ve been true. Other things which I learned dead at the bottom of my heart, I desired to be true, even if it meant that I would not be in the celestial kingdom because at the time I was not baptized, but just the knowledge that what I was taught about heaven, as a child was not God‘s plan but rather the machinations of men. And that the doctrines that I had come to discover was everything I knew in my heart had to be true. It has become evident to me that there are knowledges which confirm latter-day saint teachings which have survived, but I don’t understand how it is that people think President Nelson is not a prophet. All I know is the patriarch said “Be patient in your endeavors and remember that the church is Divine.” And our patriarchal blessings have proven themselves many times over to be true. And it has become apparent to me that some people seem to be looking to other voices To be a prophet for their lives.
Beautifully written. Our reactions to others personal choices also became a test. There was a lot of finger pointing, judging, looking down on another which brought division in families and wards and communities. Fortunately we can all repent 😊
@@RebeccaGroendyke yes another consideration. Is that in my stake a general authority asked us a question “ The next time, a Prophet, asks you to do something will you do it?” Some Internet people took offense to this as clearly did someone in my stake, and blasted it out on the Internet. As for my stake president he seem to over the years, feel impressed, too warn us of the dangers of Podcasts, and how some of them will lead people into apostasy. I think he was right regardless of how he feels about CV. I know that prior to this being a giant stink that was getting blasted on the Internet for a short while I had questions and respectfully brought them to my stake president.
@@Jeanie-nv7lo good I’m glad he was pointing a finger at people like me who did not take the shot. But I still heeded their council. If the goal is to bring people into a state of unity, the Lord cannot afford division I am aware of the tendencies towards pride on both sides of the camp. listening to my aunt who is a protestant talk about the actions of her pastor as she sees it, which is that he went off to Haiti and brought back some type of illness that led to many people in his church, getting sick and dying in some cases and apparently he was the first one to get ill and my aunt decided to leave that church because as she sees it, he never took any responsibility for the consequences of what she believes he is responsible for. Therefore, I don’t see an easy answer other than to be one for if we are not one, we are not his I don’t care about apologies I don’t really care about opinions, but what I do know is that God made good on his promises which were set in motion before I was ever latter-day saint and praise God Amen.
It's interesting that people make non-shots, climate, gender aso their religion and leave the true church. 2 Thimothy 4:3-4. We hear what we want to hear, either we want to hear the Holy Spirit or we want something else and there will be other spirits talking to us and we must never forget that the evil spirits imitate the Holy Spirit to mislead us.
Absolutely! It’s so sad! That’s why following the prophet is so important, because we can deceive ourselves with what we want to hear and call it “personal revelation”. Personal revelation always will align with the gospel of Jesus Christ and what has already been revealed. As for the shot.. I wish I never even mentioned it in my video because people took that to be the point of this video.. which really the point was that we have a prophet today who is pleading with us to choose to overcome this world, to follow Christ, to have the spirit, to gather Israel…. All the things.
The prophets last response to that message was to seek you own revelation. He never demanded. he gave you the free agency of you doing your research and asking for personal revelation. That has been his message since he became prophet.
"Decent advice", if he was the prophet, wouldn't he have put his foot down and say no. In modern days they seem to follow the social media,for example the priesthood and blacks. Thank u for the video,I feel your concern. Please look into what they call "prophet worship". And confirmation of baptism. Eye operner
Something to consider Christ himself as well as John said that the apocrypha’s validity would be testified of in time. I’m not sure I agree with the idea that god doesn’t expect his children to seek for hidden truths. Having said that as long as we’re keeping our covenants nothing else really matters. I am currently of the mindset that what causes people to be deceived is not having an understanding of what’s to come that it breaks their faith, more specifically when and if the antichrist does show up and or the (fallen angels) as described in the book of Enoch that unless people have a grasp on just how supernatural this world actually is they will lose their testimony. Come follow me I believe is a spiritual maintenance program, but not a deep doctrinal guide to understanding the mysteries of god.
There will be an individual who will be THE antichrist in the latter days: Bible Dictionary under "antichrist": "A word used by John to describe one who would assume the guise of Christ but in reality would be opposed to Christ." And Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
In addition to things you have shared, Pres Nelson has encouraged us from the beginning of his presidency to "increase [our] capacity to receive personal revelation," to "Hear Him," and to be taught by Jesus Christ himself.
Exactly - 2 NEPHI 32:6. Even as an Apostle his talk in 2016 spoke about a need to be taught directly by the Lord!
Didn’t President Nelson also say that the shot was an individual choice and to counsel with their physicians and the Lord
@@Kaydubbbb TRUE, it's sad how many now forget or ignore the actual details and have been deceived so easily! The church had to shut down buildings in many countries because of gov't laws. But all the "righteous Cowboys" want a reason to fight something and apply their version of justice.
I love this..and have this scripture as a reminder hanging up ❤ "whoso treasures up MY words shall NOT be deceived " JST Matt 24: 39
Yes!!!!! I love that!! 🥰🥰
Thank you sweetheart for your support of our Prophets and Apostles. We need to be watchful and pray to be led by the Holy Ghost. You are so sweet and precious. 💖
I have never felt the spirit so strong and powerfull while listening to a prophet as I have from president Nielsen
Nelson
Same. Actually, right when he was sustained, I had the feeling “he’s going to be a prophet of a time time like no other time in history”
And it’s true
And President Bensons talks. He gave some landmark talks. Pride and Book of Mormon and on the constitution. Also the Proclamation on the Family from President Hinckley.
I couldn't agree more with what you have said regarding President Nelson and the other Apostle's and Prophets of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints! These men are the true Prophets of the Lord! Sincerely, Brother Powers
Yeah righttt. True "profits" hoard $300 BILLION DOLLARS from its members and the government! God, you are a fool! LOL
If they lost their testimonies over the shots,is so sad they never had a testimony.a young girl who joined the early church history wanted to go west with the saints. Her father asked her what if you get their and Brigham young said the church isn’t tue, what will you do. She said I am sorry for you brother Brigham. I know it is true. That’s a testimony. It is independent from others . The Holy Ghost bares truth that we all must seek if we are to survive in these last days. Carol. Apostasy will come when you start thinking that way. Carol you covered this beautifully. Thank you
In JST Matthew 24:24, you brought to our attention the last phrase. What's also important is the first part of that phrase: IF IT WERE POSSIBLE. That tells me that when we do the things that keep us living within our covenants, as we've been counseled by our living prophet, it will NOT be possible for us to be deceived.
That little phrase is often forgotten
@@elliotmorrell425 2 Thessalonians 2
King James Version
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
...
but
...
Mathew 4 6 kjv
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

the devil is quoting scripture here he knows scripture better then we do
witch scripture?
...
psalms 91 kjv
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

so if the devil knows psalms 91 he knows 2end Thessalonians 2 vs 4
so my point is let me play devils advocate
lets say i became the Anti Christ and i know 2 Thessalonians 2 vs 4 and i know i need to never goto the temple and say i am God
never shewing himself that he is God
i can so lots of other naughty things
and make God a liar
and why would we have faith in God to save us if he lies?
he might be lying about saving us
the Anto Christ has come or we are going to lose
I read that to mean, "if you can believe it.". IE, it will be shocking when you see faithful LDS falling to these deceptions.
And I certainly saw that with so many putting masks on in 2020 and 2021. It was difficult to believe so many could fall for it. Awful.
I know we are safe if we keep our lamps always burning because the prophet always keeps his lamp burning. But the Foolish didn't apply that counsel to keep buying the oil from the marketplace as the wise did. So the foolish were without oil. While the wise had plenty of oil for the journey to go out and meet the Bridegroom because they obeyed the prophet to get the oil.. But they didn't have spare oil to give to the foolish because you can't convert for someone else....The oil of personal conversion is not sharable. This is why the prophet says you must have your own testimony, you must know for yourself, you can't live on the borrowed light of others.
@@elliotmorrell425thank you. Yep. IF IT WERE POSSIBLE.
As we visit the Temple as often as we should and sincerly, prayerfully, meekness with all the fiber of our soul, Our Loving Heavenly Father through the power of the Holy Ghost will reveal the sacred revelation that one could feel confident, the peaceable, overwhelming truths. One would know and not be deceived. In our Savior's name. Jesus Christ, Amen.
This was a great video. You are spot on. I have several friends who left the church because President Nelson and the First Presidency gave a statement about the shot. I must admit I had to do some serious praying to know what I should do and think. What I learned: President Nelson is the Prophet for the whole world, not just the USA. There were countries who wouldn't let people out of their houses without getting it. I have many weird allergies and went to my doctor who told me NOT to get it. My husband had to get it for his job. We went to the temple, prayed and received the answers we needed to make the choice for our best interests. I did not get it, my husband did...after he got a Priesthood Blessing. The Holy Ghost has witnessed to me that Russell M Nelson is a true Prophet and I will listen to his words. If I have a question I pray, and pray HARD. Yes we are in a war with evil but if we stay close to the Spirit and hold to the rod, it will be hard to deceive us. Thanks for this.❤❤❤
Yeah it was a rough time for many when the brethren started pushing the shot on social media and through their leaders in the stakes. Many left the church because of churches pushing the vaccine. I never seen the church align with man in that manner before in my life.
What this woman in the temple said about the prophet of Zion is not even correct. For all the scriptures point to Zion being in
control in the hands of the Lord in the last days. Nowhere in scripture does it say that Zion is of the Anti Christ. Or that the saints are
preparing for the 1000 year reign of Anti Christ. For the scriptures teach that Christ reigns on the earth personally for a thousand years with his saints in peace and righteousness. The scriptures tell you that the Lord speaks his voice from out of Zion in the last days..And in Zion will be peace and joy and everlasting songs..And the meek and the poor shall trust in it, and zion and her convert shall be redeemed with judgement and with righteousness (Isaiah)... That is hardly the description of an anti christ kingdom.
And that is why the Lord has got living prophets and apostles on the earth to speak for him in our day and time from out of Zion. Joel 3:15-20. Because Zion is the Kingdom of God.
The foolish virgins somehow got it wrong, they were not consistent in filling up their lamps.
I believe each person must pray, as you've said. I prayed about our leaders, and I know President Nelson is a true Prophet of our Heavenly Father. I have been a member over 4o years, and I prayed before I joined and the Holy Ghost witness to me then just as He does now. We must stay faithful and obedient to God. Then we will not be deceived.
The jab is turning out to be the danger that thinking people feared.
I played very hard as well about getting the vaccine, but honestly could not get an answer. I wanted to follow the prophet but could not feel good about getting it. I went back and forth for a long time, in the end I used my own research & listened to what my inner voice was telling me & chose not to get it for many reasons. I still do not understand the prophets stand but I am glad I didn’t get the shot but still support our prophet.
AMEN!! I'm only about a third of the way through the video but I completely agree. A couple years ago, I saw a lot of false Christ attitudes and people on FB, Telegram, and other social media. I stopped following FB groups, etc, and I don't spend much time there anymore.
In early Spring, 2020 I felt the whole thing was wrong from the start. This was long before they rolled out the Vs. I prayed very sincerely why the church would be supporting what I believed to be an evil agenda. Each time I finished praying I had the overwhelming feeling from the Spirit that it was indeed wrong and I should not participate.
I guess I didn't want to hear that answer, so I kept praying asking the same question...and getting the same answer.
Finally on June 17th I prayed and told God I would stop doubting Him and accept that answer. The following morning, a little after 4AM, an angel visited me in my bedroom and commended me on my faith and that I was indeed correct in what I was doing. The angel was a young woman who was dressed in a pure white robe. She even gave me her first and last name that she had in life (whom I later matched up with her obituary).
After it ended, I was left with the most powerful and overwhelming feeling of peace and joy in my entire life.
My family was blessed for not supporting it. I work on a military base and I never wore a mask even though I could have been arrested by the federal mandate. God protected me.
None of my family got sick even though we never participated, and my son was held back to receive his mission call 2 weeks after the church ended the V requirement.
My family saw miracles because we stayed faithful in staying away from the antichrist system.
Awesome experience, thanks for sharing
I am glad that you prayed.
I didn't have a problem taking them. Honestly I guess I just feel like that whole thing got out of hand but I am glad that you had that experience I think that that is so neat
Regarding the shot, Pres. Nelson also said to speak to your trusted medical provider, to pray about it, and to make your own choice He was trying to calm the people who were thinking the shot was the Mark of the Beast.
He did not say that. That's the problem. He told everyone in the world to get injected and that the injections were safe and effective.
He lied.
He did not say that, he urged everyone to take it!
@@d.porter3142 I didn't get the shot because I felt it was wrong for me. Strongly felt it was wrong. I never once, ever, thought that Pres. Nelson was lying. Never. Still don't. I don't know why you or anyone else would jump to that conclusion (i.e. "he lied").
Nelson and the brethren said the vax was safe and effective, posted it on social media as a miracle, talked about it for 2 GC's, and the lower leadership pushed it for a year+. A dark stain in church history similar to blacks and the priesthood
@@d.porter3142
@lostinthailand9487 The Prophet urged people to do all they could to be good global citizens to help quell the pandemic by getting immunized, wear masks, and practice safe distancing. He encouraged us to speak and counsel with medical professionals and said “Individuals are responsible to make their own decisions about vaccination.”
We each were given the opportunity to practice an earlier quote from our Prophet about how we would not survive spiritually without learning to hear the Holy Ghost and learn how we hear Him.
This incident really did cause people to study, ponder and pray to receive an answer for themselves. Interesting to me is that people felt impressed by the spirit for their personal circumstance.
I LOVE how you share in a way that is so simple! You speak those very thoughts I have received through the Spirit! Bless you!!!❤
So President Nelson as an example got the shot. He also encouraged anyone who was in the high risk category to get it but he didn’t tell anyone that our salvation was dependent upon this one medical thing.
I have a testimony about everything happening today. Your post is very timely. I'm a 2 time breast cancer survivor. I had just started chemotherapy March 2020. I prayed to ask Heavenly Father if i should one get the shot and two continue chemotherapy. The answer was no, do not get the shot. Yes, stop the chemotherapy. I knew this was against my doctors advice, but Jesus Christ has passed down his power through the Holy Ghost. I turned to my husband and priesthood leaders for a priesthood blessing. I'm still here, i was cancer in 2022. I've conquered cancer twice through the Grace of God. I have been diagnosed with breast cancer again for a third time. I will continue to trust God to heal me this time, too. I'm using holistic methods. I've changed my diet to more vegetarian, and i use Asea Redox supplements. Also, I am sensitive to the 5g towers. That's another story. I would gladly explain how that contributed to the cancer.
Bless you and prayers for fast healing❤❤❤❤
@@IBeLieveInChrist07 Thank you 😊 🙏 💓
Thank you so much for sharing sister. Yes miricles happening daily now 🎉
Kaitlyn, thank you for starting this channel and this topic!! ❤ I really look forward to hearing more from you! I'm 67 yrs old, but am honestly still an infant to the gospel, as I was active until my mid twenties and then inactive until approx 6 years ago. Needless to say, I need all the good help I can get! And actually there are some TH-cam podcasts that are kinda starting to push the envelope on whether they truly support and sustain the prophet and church leaders.. I've heard some good, and even great ideas they share, but it's frequently laced with some ideas that could confuse some members, and it could create some feelings of distrust towards the general authorities, if you're looking for someone who could lead you away, to believe that some church policies are wrong, or questionable, and they create controversy. So thank you for your strong testimony and faith. Please keep telling it real. And don't ever start mincing words, especially when it comes to the church! ❤👍Thanks!!
What it says is "if it were possible, even the elect could be deceived". If we are the elect and are livign our covenants AND have the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, we become the Children of Light (Doc & Cov 106). Also, I believe that the parable of the 10 Virgins is about Temple Recommend/temple going members, not all members. The Virgins had all accepted the invitation to the feast and were waiting on it. The feast is the temple and beyond.
Thank you for this. I follow the living prophet Russell Nelson. We can pray and get answers to all of our questions.
Amen!! 🥰
Incredible podcast Thanks!
“Follow the Prophet don’t go Astray”
I find that when I stay close to the Spirit and involve Christ in my DAILY life - decernment is present for me. Like you less than minutes I see the Bad Medicine” a native description of something not right or good! I am Native American and was taught to be aware of evil and the deceiver.
As a member of the church I see it too.
Staying close to God our Creator is the only way to keep us away from the deceivers.
And lately there has been movements in deceit!!
God Bless us!
I got Covid in February of 2020. I got deathly ill, but worked through it. I had been less active so I never heard what the Prophet said at the time, but when my work tried to force it on me my whole Being said NO! This is the same feeling I had when deciding whether to go back to work after my first child was born. That answer shook my being as well. I am certain that we are to pray about all things. I don’t feel that I went against the prophet, but I went through a tremendous amount of opposition for my views and lost my job over it.
My personal views are that anything that the government tries to force on us needs to be scrutinized, immensely! The Lord doesn’t force anything. He invites and admonishes, but never does He force us.
Correct. Powers … not to be trusted.
@@Jeanie-nv7lo thank you. I love the love we are experiencing through this and other channels
Some people have been brought into disciplinary councils and excommunicated for teaching people to not wear masks and to not get the jab against the words of the Prophet.
I'm glad you were safe from this and that you followed the Holy Ghost as you should, protecting yourself and your loved ones
@@diegolucero9910
The presidency is from a different generation,president Nelson is Surgeon, he had to make those choices. They travel, they also had to make decisions for the whole, not just one. You make the decision as seemed best for yourself. Use your own free agency. He is still a prophet and I believe that’s why he’s saying you much keep your own testimony strong! So your ability to choose what’s best for you may not be what’s best for others. Respect and love to all!❤❤
This all counts down to the fact that you have to listen to the spirit! There are many many saints around the world that will never be deceived because they have learned out how to HEAR THE SPIRIT!!!! That takes a lot of practice. Many people across the world can't even read and write and they can't go into deep study. Maybe later on Heavenly Father will help them learn but you CAN'T DEPEND ON ANY PERSON TO BE COMPLETELY 100 PERCENT ACCURATE IN THEIR INFORMATION. You have to take everything to the Lord for YOUR OWN CONFIRMATION!!!!!!!! Over learned this over 71 years of trying my hardest to follow Jesus Christ! Yes, in an old lady! LISTEN, READ, PAY ATTENTION TO THE GOOD THINGS IN THE WORLD AND ALWAYS "FOLLOW THE SPIRIT"!!!!
Perfect timing with a live stream going on right now with a certain Chief. You will never go wrong following our prophet.
Three nurses and I witness a miracle today right in front of us. We have the gift the priesthood.This is the true church. Think back on the miracles you have seen. Ask for the power of the Holy Ghost and you will never be deceived.
I didn’t even know that! But I’m glad I could time that so well! I’m glad I could take the clean up duty! 🤣
Thank you!!! I love your testimony!
@@AnticipatingChristsreturnyour awesome. Keep up the good work
Not sure what problem you have with the “Chief”. He doesn’t pull you away from the church or the prophet. He might vent! I believe he has history & evidence that the Book of Mormon is true as prophesied would happen in the last days.
Yeah.. I actually watched the live event you’re referring to here I believe and it was really good. Felt the holy ghost
Yes, it is so clear and obvious that he is a false prophet. He even has stated that he is the Davidic servant in the last days, and that he has scriptures or scrolls that are superior to the Bible and the book of Mormon. So even the elect, even though they have been shown, and told about this guy still will follow him, very sad.
I love the work you do. I share my love and want to let you know you have touched me personally. Thank you.
An important point to remember - the letter from the first presidency said to listen to trusted medical professionals and government officials. Both the medical prof and the officials were for and against shot & masks. It was left up to us what to do. It was not a commandment either way. I chose to listen to different medical professionals and government officials than you and still know this is Christ's gospel upon the earth and that Pres Nelson is his prophet!
I agree, I think the elect- doesn’t mean those in leadership positions, but anyone who maintains a temple recommend, and is fully worthy.
It is that precious soul whom they’re trying to deceive..
..
My heart goes out to the woman in the temple, who honestly thought our prophet might be fallen. That’s so unfortunate for her.
Thanks for sharing this with us!
Yes! Thank you! I feel for her too! And I wanted to help potentially anyone else out there who is struggling like her. ❤️
I'd like to add to what Kimberly Olsen (below) said.
I too struggled about getting the "vaccine". I was torn, and prayed about it a lot before I came to my decision.
It came down to this:
I believe Pres. Nelson IS the Lord's prophet on the earth today. I don't think the Lord would let His prophet deceive or misdirect His church.
However, I can, and do, ALSO pray to get feelings, guidance, and answers for myself.
I concluded that I WOULD follow the first presidency's admonition to get the vaccine. I figured that maybe part of the reason to encourage us was so the government would have no excuse to shut the church down further, especially TEMPLE work!
I also prayed that if there WAS anything harmful in the "vaccine" that the Lord would neutralize it so it would be harmless to those who did go ahead and get it.
(I was 68 at that time) I only had the first two Phizer shots, with no ill effects that I'm aware of.
I have no plans to get any additional shots, but I'm going to pray about each instance that comes up, and then do my best to follow the Prophet, and my heart.
It really doesn't matter if we live or die. But the intent of our hearts matter, and our willingness to trust the Lord to guide us as we navigate these last days.
And I accept that we might not always fully understand the whole picture.
Each of us has to have our individual conversation with the Lord, and follow the promptings we receive. It will ALL work out in the end. 😌
@@Jeanie-nv7lo
To whom are you speaking?
@@Jeanie-nv7lo
The only thing I heard at first was that the first presidency was saying to go ahead and get the vaccine. I didn't see a written statement, or anything else at that time. Perhaps I missed it or it came out a bit later. So I was just going on what I was aware of at that moment.
None of my comments were meant negatively towards the leadership or President Nelson. I was just trying to explain the process I went through, at the time, to make my decision. I'm not sure how that's a poyson shot.
You know how many people like to say, "But the prophets aren't perfect and they can be wrong, and so I need to receive my own revelation about this subject that thr prophet has spoken about."
Well, it is true that we are meant to seek after our own revelation from God, but it is to confirm our understanding and faith in what the prophets say, not to open up thr possibility that we will receive revelation contrary to what the prophet has said. That is the high road to apostasy - to think that you know better than the prophet.
If you think about it, have the scriptures ever said or given an example wherein a person was excused from following the prophet because the Lord told some individual differently than ehat the prophet had said? No, the Lord's house is a house of order.
The miracle is that the Lord can lead us correctly through fallible people, not that he makes them perfect. And we are not excused from following them even though they have got certain things wrong or confused at times, for a time.
In "Two Lines of Communication," President Oaks teaches clearly thst priesthood revelation and personal revelation are meant to support each other, not to compete. Wonderful talk.
True. We have 15 prophets.
Oaks will be in the lead soon...
It's talking about the 'hello Saints ' page. All of those bishops entertaining preachers. Bishops are the elect too
I haven’t listened to much of his stuff but I actually liked the one with tyler griffin (I think that’s who it was) I feel like different faiths having discussions is good if it’s done in good faith. Some of the stuff that I’ve seen with just him he is critical.. and picking things apart.. yet when he joins with faith filled people I feel like they are just helping him understand better and it helps because I feel like they can defend the faith when they are on… 🤷🏻♀️ (but like I said I haven’t watched most of his videos so I don’t really know much about what’s been going on) this video wasn’t really about that channel.. but if it helped I’m glad 😆
I was unsure about "the shot" but when Pres. Nelson received his, I felt more comfortable with it. Pres. Nelson seems so loving and caring and I know he has received inspiration for all of us. I have never been able to grasp how some people could think otherwise. For me, witnessing the come follow me come out and then COVID keeping us from physically going to church was certainly something that increased my testimony about our living prophet receiving revelation in our day.
It’s crazy that you posted this video today because last night, I was in the comments of two LDS TH-camrs. And I just straight up asked them both, have you seen…. And if so, how can you still support….
They both told me they have seen…. One of them said they were working on a response. The other referred me to an interview where they defended…. I told them I will definitely watch it and get back to them and they ❤️ the comment.
I watched the full 50 minute interview and my mind was blown. They went as far as to take a scripture about the second coming of Jesus Christ, and leave out the verse’s about Christ coming and the mountains being made low and valleys disappearing, in order to make it sound like it applied to…. So they could use that scripture to defend…. I could not believe it. I did write a long response to them pointing out all the things I could remember from that interview that I took issue with and why. And I explained that I wasn’t doing this out of hate or judgement, I’m doing it because what I’m seeing goes against the kingdom of god. I have not gotten a response.
I asked the other TH-camr about his viewers being possibly deceived by certain content he posts. He said he doesn’t think most peoples testimonies are that weak. I responded by asking him, if only one of his viewers has their testimony damaged, isn’t that one too many??One of his viewers responded by saying that we are responsible for our own testimony and we’ve been instructed on how to protect it. I responded by saying that we are also not supposed to cast a stumbling block before others, and I reminded him what Cane said to the Lord after he slew Able. “Am I my brothers keeper?” Yes. We are our brothers keeper.
Maybe it’s my own ignorance, but I cant believe I am witnessing members of the church offering up their platforms to be Satans P.R. Campaign. My watchlist has been narrowed down to your channel, as well as Jared from Christian homestead. David Alexander Sometimes ward radio depending on the video. And a few come follow me channels.
By the way, thank your for sharing your temple cleaning experience. The way you related it to the prodigal son was perfect. Really enjoyed both of your videos today
I always appreciate your comments thank you!! I appreciate you lifting your voice for truth. I agree that if I caused one person to lose their testimony I would be held accountable because of the information that I provided that caused it.
I think we should treat everyone like they have weak testimonies because we are all capable of being deceived…
@@AnticipatingChristsreturn thank you. And I 100% agree. My grandma has roots in the foundation of the church and she was telling me last night that a relative of hers was next in line to be the prophet. But he refused to acknowledge that the polygamy at the time was ordained of god and he left the church and lost his testimony. If it can happen to someone like him, as well as the witness to the gold plates. It can literally happen to any one of us.
I appreciate what you said about my comment because sometimes I’m afraid to post them because I’ve only been studying the gospel for a little over a year. So I’m afraid of posting false information. But I try to go with what the spirit tells me.
@@AnticipatingChristsreturnIf your intent is too preach by the Spirit, you have no problem with whether people get offended or not. I wouldn’t worry about it. I just subscribed to your channel. I heard about it from Jared at Christian Homestead channel.
I’ve called out many LDS channel owners and members commenting over their COVID comments, including talking about the TH-cam videotape of the SandPoint Stake Conference. I lit into many of them for bashing their Stake President and the Area Authority Seventy there.
I explained that the jab was not a sin and that the Church wasn’t pushing the vaccine.
These channels attract ex members of the Church who brag about leaving the Church, along with members who bragged about not getting the vaccine and commenting how President Nelson was a false prophet.
I’ve left FB, after having criticizing them for their sins or people trashing me for my political vote or the vaccine, including Church members.
I write negative reviews for most social media apps, I give them feedback and I’ve let them have it for many reasons.
I’m just disillusioned with people in the Church on social media.
I find very few channels whose owner can teach by the Spirit.
You do. I appreciate that. Please keep it up. People in the Church are just mean to one another on social media.
Always teach by the Spirit if you don’t want to lead people astray. Always listen and obey the Spirit.
Never teach Church doctrine without the Spirit.
Great comment. Interesting as I also follow along in these other pages...and the different defenses...or questions...
@@cindlou7335 I received a spiritual witness of the savior that changed me forever just a few months before my 30th birthday. I’m 31 now. So that’s why I say maybe it’s my ignorance because compared to most members, I’m still a baby. But I never would have thought that soooo many members of the church are this out of touch with the holy ghost. It’s such a sad thing to see. I know have a new understanding of where Russell M. Nelson is coming from when he constantly pleads with us to prepare for the second coming.
The strong members are responsible for helping to look after the weaker members. And I’m not calling myself a strong member because I’m not perfect either. But those of us who hear the Holy Ghost have a responsibility to try to help those who struggle to hear.
Up until this point, I guess I just assumed that most members knew the scriptures on a level that made my own knowledge and understanding seem amateurish. I just feel let down, but I also am sad for them and for our Heavenly Father. I don’t know how else to describe how I feel about this whole thing.
When the prophet encouraged (not commanded) us to get the shot immediately known it was something that he wanted me to consult my Dr and ponder about. Im tired of people blaming him for how it turned out. We need to have the spirit with us and not blindly obey what we think the prophet said.
@@lostinthailand9487 you need to go re-read that letter. Read like a lawyer would read. They didn't encourage everyone to take the rona vaccine specifically. They just said, "To provide personal protection from such severe infections, we urge individuals to be vaccinated. Available vaccines have proven to be both safe and effective."
You can interpret that phrase any way you want to interpret it. There are lots of vaccines. Lots. Also, which "severe infections"? "Such"? What does that even mean?
You need to forgive him, and do whatever you need to do to reconcile yourself to this, because it's still bothering you, obviously.
@@lostinthailand9487
1. "urged" not "commanded"
2. The spirit told that what he meant was for us to consult our Dr and ponder if it was right for us.
3. What would have happened to the saints if the church was against the shot? Especially since some of the powers that be are attacking Christianity.
President Wilford Woodruff (1807-98) declared that we can have full confidence in the direction the prophet is leading the Church: “The Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as President of this Church to lead you astray.
Yess!! ❤️ thank you! I quoted that in my new video from today!
There is more than one way to interpet that statement. You could argue that he meant that the Holy Ghost will clearly tell you that the prophet is teaching false doctrine and you should not follow it.
@@fightingfortruth9806 yes I agree we must learn to listen to and follow the Holy Ghost which the true prophets teach. Hear Him is the cry of President Nelson which for me rings true. We each must come to know for ourselves or we may be deceived by the philosophies and wisdom of men in these last days. This is my story and testimony. I was raised a Lutheran by a Catholic father and Lutheran mother who rarely attended any church. They however made sure my brother, sister and I were sent to church. I'm forever grateful for parents who cared enough to see that I got some religious training in my youth. I'm grateful to the Lutheran church for introducing me to Jesus Christ the Son of God. By the prayer of faith and the witness of the Holy Ghost I learned as a child that Jesus is the true Son of God who lives today as a resurrected being in heaven with God the Father. I know that he atoned for the sins of all mankind on the cross and opened the way for the resurrection and salvation of all men. In my early teens I questioned my parents, church and leaders on their authority and knowledge. I rebelled against society and became a hippie looking for love in all the wrong places and doing all the wrong things. However, God in his great mercy chose to chasen and awaken me to the error of my ways. This happened at Woodstock 1969(when I was 19) during a near death experience while I was abusing my body with those bad things of the day. I found myself in hell tormented by all my sins and then reflected upon my childhood belief in Jesus Christ and called upon his name to save me. He heard my voice and delivered me back to life. I was born again and made a promise that day to change my life and go and do what the Lord wanted me to do. He led me by the Bible and the Holy Spirit over the next nine months to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where I was baptized in the Atlantic Ocean at Smith Point Fire Island, NY on June 27th 1970. I know by personal revelation and the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Savior of all mankind and He has led me to the prophet Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon and the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which I know to be true by the power of the Holy Ghost. Please seek, read, ponder and pray concerning these things and you too can know they are true by the power of the Holy Ghost I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
@@fightingfortruth9806 I agree we must have ears that hear and eyes that see so we can see eye to eye in the Lord. The Holy Ghost will help us to "Hear Him" who president Nelson has challenged us to do. This is my testimony and story which has set the pattern by which I continue to seek greater knowledge and truth as I humble myself before the Lord and His anointed leaders.

I listened very closely when the prophet speaks. Encouraged us to take the shot. He didn’t tell us we had to. He specifically said. We’re going to shut down the churches to be good citizens. He never said you must get the shot. Present Nelson truly wants us to learn to use the personal revelation that we been promised. In reality in today’s world, so many things need to be by personal revelation.
Praise the lord❤
if it were possible, even the elect. Mark the Apostle
Our leadership gives us what we need to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. In other words , they give us the information we need to then to take it to the Lord in personal pray to get out personal answers regarding these issues. Joseph Smith told us he taught the people principles and THEN they governed themselves. He didn't tell them exactly what to do .......God did in personal prayer, he governed their lives if they were willing to put in the time to take their concerns to him in prayer. I'm not saying we don't need prophets and apostles. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! I love the mostly MILK they feed us at conference! But it takes study( reading esp which i could improve on more), talking to others, listening to others but i think most of all discussing these things with our Father in Heaven!!!! When our phones are laptops are useless, or someday when the internet goes away, when hard times we cannot even imagine come, when we may be isolated from our leaders or even friends WHO CAN WE DEPEND ON? OUR PRAYER AND GREAT PERSONAL TEACHER, the one we've been depending on all this time! Sorry but this was a good discussion to talk about! I have strong ideas about it!
Excellent points! I would add that our temporal preparedness ought to include some things for temporal spiritual preparedness. If there is a time when we don't have access to the gospel library or the internet, or our prophets, we ought to have what we can in hard copy. Things like our scriptures, the conference addresses, our patriarchal blessings. I fear too many rely on digital versions of everything, and if we loose power or the internet, it will really spiritually hobble folks.
@@Jeanie-nv7lo Oh, that's such a good idea! I love that!
In 2020 I started to make it a point to always get the journal edition of General Conference, so I will have those in hard copy (and a few especially meaningful ones from before that time). I also printed out my patriarchal blessing, and my mothers, fathers, and grandparents. And I've tried to get any particularly meaningful pictures printed, as well. And I bought an updated road atlas. You just never know what's coming, and having a few things like that brings some peace of mind.
Thank you!
Let's see exactly what Jesus says
For in those days there shall also arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that, IF POSSIBLE, they shall deceive the very elect, who are the elect according to the covenant.
And whoso treasureth up my word, SHALL NOT BE DECEIVED.
We have the Gift of the Holy Ghost and we are commanded to FEAST upon the words of Christ, more especially from The Book of Mormon and the continuous revelation from one general conference to the next.
Indeed, we are frail in our humanity, but what is being urged upon us?
HEAR HIM.
THINK CELESTIAL
Charity is celestial. Continue striving to surrender our will in the will of Christ until His will becomes our will.
OVERCOME THE WORLD: the bondage of SELF!
Yes!!! Beautiful! Thank you!
The prophet still respected our agency even with the SHOT . He no doubt was concerned how many could die because of COVID... And not that many people over all, had a bad reaction from the shot. He never commanded us to be vaccinated.
but they sure pushed it in the stakes and social media
23:16 it’s true there are those who would “add in” to lead some from the truth. How do you feel about it when the church “leaves out” things which are true, but which might not be faith promoting? What do you think of Boyd K Packer’s claim that not all truth is useful to be shared?
It happens with big things such as the BOM translation process and smaller things such as saying that we comply with zoning ordinances in temple building while simultaneously pressuring cities and towns under threat of litigation to grant wild exceptions of over 100 feet for steeple height.
Both sides should be seen for what they are, what they say, and what they do.
In Teachings of the Presidents of the Church, Chapter 27 "Beware the Bitter Fruits of Apostasy," there is much that explains how ignoring our priesthood leaders makes us vulnerable to apostasy:
“I will give you one of the Keys of the mysteries of the Kingdom. It is an eternal principle, that has existed with God from all eternity: That man who rises up to condemn others, finding fault with the Church, saying that they are out of the way, while he himself is righteous, then know assuredly, that that man is in the high road to apostasy; and if he does not repent, will apostatize, as God lives.” Heber C. Kimball, while serving as a counselor to President Brigham Young, reported: “I will give you a key which Brother Joseph Smith used to give in Nauvoo. He said that the very step of apostasy commenced with losing confidence in the leaders of this church and kingdom, and that whenever you discerned that spirit you might know that it would lead the possessor of it on the road to apostasy.”
There is more; I suggest reading the whole chapter.
Thank you for this!!! I will go read it!
I forgot to mention it was the Teachings of the Presidents of the Church for Joseph Smith, but you may have figured that out.
Read the Official Declaration #1 in the Doctrine and Covenants. Wilford Woodruff received through revelation, the answer. The Lord will never let the Prophet lead the Church astray.
I did in the video! 🥰
Ohhhh. Jk! It was in the video I posted after this one! 😆 sorry for the confusion!
I want to add my testimony as well. The prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson is a true and living prophet. Called by God. Appointed to lead us directly in these times and days in which we live. He will not deceive us. Everything in this video is good and true and right. Because she is correctly pointing all of us to our living prophet today, and not away from! If any are in doubt. Remember "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me." John 13:20
We got the shot because, my son has left lung problems. My husband was told that if he got it he would die. I wanted to protect them. I prayed for a long period of time about this than the prophet said that, it answered my question.
I love that!! I love that he brought peace to a difficult decision!! 🥰
This was one of the lies the media told about how effective the shot was. But it didn’t really prevent anyone from getting covid. Most people got it multiple times who had been vaccinated.
Thank you, I got more understand on the words you just said.
❤❤❤❤❤ thank you, just became a new subscriber!
Awww thank you! 🥰
Line upon line peace upon precept. Hear a little there a little. What we have a need for he will answer. This is a promise for wisdom.
I would say he gives us to what we need to be wise as serpents and innocent as gives doves! In other words he gives us what we need to then take the issues to Heavenly Father in prayer and receive our own revelation as to the truth for us personally. We have to put in the time with him to get the answers. NO OTHER WAY!!!!!
Revelation 13: 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Thanks!
Thank you! 🥹
Agree 10000% about not needing to look outside the collected scripture for increased learning. There is MORE to learn from the Book of Mormon and Isaiah than most of us have taken time and effort to gain.. 1 Nephi 1:1...having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God,...
The prophet pleaded with us to desire to understand what the fullness of the Holy Ghost might be like. The prophet wants us to have a higher holier life! How many times has he counseled us to increase our reception of revelation and prophecy in our lives? That we will not be able to survive the last days without it. He is telling us to go to the source, as he is, and be taught. Not seperate from his council at all but in harmony.
Yes!!!! Exactly!!
You are awesome!
I feel like those people who minimize the prophet by saying things like “we don’t have to be told by the prophet, we don’t have to wait for the prophet to tell us, my own personal revelation over the prophet’s revelation” and so on… these are the people with higher chance of being deceived.
Yessss!!!! I couldn’t agree more!
@@AnticipatingChristsreturnthey turn to their own arm of flesh.
@@greentree_ 😭😭😭😭😭
Regarding the shot, I remembered. I think it was Thomas S. Monson who said that we didn't have to take the counsel of the prophets by their word but that we could go and ask for ourselves and listen for the Lord, who would give us testimony. I did this after hearing the prophet about the shot. I did have to back my thoughts up and be willing to accept what the Lord's counsel is. I was distinctly impressed that I was okay not to take the shot. I'm glad I have a relationship with the Lord and can sustain His prophet. The Lord doesn't want us to follow blindly but to have a mind for ourselves.
THANK YOU! The people sowing seeds of doubt and preaching against the prophet are themselves the fulfillment of these prophecies about the last days. Ironically they try using latter-day scripture and revelation to refute latter-day scripture and revelation... I've learned that the gift of discernment for me operates a lot like the prophet Joseph Smith's statement "by proving contraries, truth is made manifest." Some falsehoods are so near the truth that rather than have a lightbulb moment of discernment in the moment, it is revealed to me over time as I contrast that over and over with other truths I already know. Also, when in history has it ever gone right for people who rejected the prophets?
I hear that a lot; about *the* Prophet being deceived. They completely ignore the MANY quotes and revelations about the Prophet not being able to lead people astray, in favor of "don't trust in the arm of flesh", and because no Prophet is perfect like Christ, they cling to the idea that trusting the Prophet is trusting in the arm of flesh, and therefore he doesn't really count. 😑 It's popular with folks who try to discount whoever the current Prophet is, so that they can claim that the church as a whole is led astray. It's pretty prideful really. As Elder Renlund said, "Hubris never bodes well "
Also, we are blessed with discernment in the temple, if we are faithful to our covenants...
Absolutely!!! Such a great comment!
The scriptures have numerous examples of true prophets and apostles being deceived. David, Solomon, Judas, Peter (denied Christ). A great example is Lehi who began to murmur when Nephi broke his bow. Was Nephi wrong to not "follow the prophet" and murmur with him, instead of taking initiative to build a new bow?
The idolatry of prophets is a modern stumbling block among LDS. Every man is responsible for what he does, following another man won't get you out of accountability, prophet or not.
About the shot , i was very desturbe if i should get it or not then those thoughts came to my mind. Follow the Prophet he knows the way. After that i did feel peace. But it is true, we have to make our own choises.
I would say to hover as closely as possible, LIGHT, follow that light and stay as close as possible!! Light cannot allow any darkness in, and the more you stay in it, the safer and surer we will be.
Awesome video, Kaitlyn!
Thank you!! 😊
This was great. Thank you. We still get to choose. President Nelson, a doctor, I felt he did what the Gov wanted. My children didn’t get it either. I think of the 12 article of faith. Anyway this was a good discussion. Thank you.
World Bank document 4/2/2020
Said they would get govt leaders, media, and religious leaders to push Covid protocols… because of peoples’ worries about liberties being taken away. Absolute truth and that’s how it went down.
Some additional information. Chief migegah of the ojibwe nation and the birch bark scrolls. The nemenhah records. "New Zealand skeletons in the cupboard "
What did Chief M mean by that?
What did he mean New Zealand skeletons in the cupboard?
I agree with you!
Trouble comes when we replace the Holy Ghost with blind obedience to any man.
Matthew 24:24 “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
The scripture the woman was probably basing her belief upon was Daniel 11:22.
This section is commonly understood as an Apostle or even the Prophet being deceived by the anti Christ.
Can you give me the scripture reference in Daniel?
I think the sifting is accruing the wheat from the tares.
Thank you so much for your courage with this video!
Also, as far as the shot…Stratagem (where have we learned about that?) was necessary for a worldwide church. As a lawyer, Morgan Philpot points to the words and punctuation in the Church’s statement. Immunization vs. vaccination etc. They told us to figure out how we Hear Him.
I also listened to Morgan Philpot regarding the letter and statement from our leaders on the matter.
I was accused of not believing in the prophet or church anymore by those who are really close to me because I didn’t feel I was supposed to get the shot. Even when I pointed out that I saw wisdom and stratagem in what the church was doing. We have a right to personal revelation for ourselves and I chose not to go against the revelation I received. I think Heavenly Father expects that of us in all decisions. To not blindly follow but to study it out in our hearts and our minds. The How Do You Hear Him campaign was a timely gift that we should continue to employ. The use of stratagem was taught so consistently in The Book of Mormon. We should expect the confusion to continue and that will require continuous personal revelation.
Ezekiel states, “If a prophet is deceived into giving a message, it is because I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet. I will lift my fist against such prophets and cut them off from the community of Israel” (Ezek. 14:9 NLT).
And in regards to the Antichrist I have a hard time dismissing the explicit detail given in Daniel and Isiah- it could be an institution but there are so many personifications used to describe it or him.
According to the guide to the scriptures
“Antichrist
See also Devil
Anyone or anything that counterfeits the true gospel plan of salvation and that openly or secretly opposes Christ. John the Revelator described the antichrist as a deceiver (1 Jn. 2:18-22; 4:3-6; 2 Jn. 1:7). The great antichrist is Lucifer, but he has many assistants, both spirit beings and mortals.”
We need 20:32 to pray for ourselves if what we hear or see is true or not. Its okay if you don't get the SHOT. We have the gift of choice.
Pres Woodruff said one day in the salt lake valley one would not be able to tell the difference between an enemy or friend of the church, that is unless you have the spirit of true desernment. Don't have the exact quote, sorry. Just had some friends who left the church try to convince me with my family to move to Missouri with them to prepare for the Saviors return. Funny how they want me to follow them as if they are the prophet. They think every prophet from JS to today are fallen, except JS.
Yes! I’ve been seeing a lot of the same ideas floating around. It’s so sad! Good for you to stick with the prophet! 🥰
I think that it says, "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened...insomuch that, IF it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matt 24:22-24
Read JS-Matthew 1:22. That is the JST for Matthew 24:24. There is no "were." It changes the meaning of that thought.
The problem isnt they lost their testimony its that they didnt have a testimony .
Read 1 & 2 John closely. On multiple occasions the antichrist is defined as ANYONE who denies Jesus Christ. It isn't just one person we should be waiting for.
I’m pretty sure I said that in my video right? Or are you responding to someone in the messages?
Just reiterating this point for anyone reading the comments. 1 & 2 John are my favorite books in the New Testament.
If you don’t want to be deceived then start studying from true doctrinal sources on not being deceived. I suggest using the citation index app and looking up talks with the key phrase “be deceived” as an exact phrase under talks. Yes you can be deceived, but you don’t have to be. The Spirit of God cannot be deceived.
Hi Sister, I just found your channel. You mentioned when the spirit told you to get out of something or somewhere and referenced a video. Which of your videos is that?
This is a powerful example of Kaitlyn… the moment she felt the alerts… she fled.
@@RebeccaGroendyke She is awesome!
We need to be educated in the scriptures and the gospel teachings, as well as be visiting the temple as often as possible, practice in prayer for your descernment to be strong and clear, and doing & practice things which will invite the Holy Ghost to be and stay with you at all times. If you're not sure, and you are earnestly asking in prayer, the best and safest thing to do a long with those things is to:
1. ALWAYS stay as close as possible to your church authorities, including your Bishop, and his counselors. The closer we stay to our ward leaders, stake leaders, etc, the greater body of the church won't lead you astray. And you can ask for a blessing for protection and discernment,. Rely upon the priesthood holders and ward leaders to advise you, if you can't find an answer, and trust that they will be truthful, and help you!
When reading our scripture we need to really read it. Many people assume the elect will be deceived. Yet, the scriptures say “…IF IT WERE POSSIBLE , they shall deceive the very elect.”
Are you not seeing that members are being deceived? I think you are mistaken to think that we won’t be deceived. President Nelson and others have said other wise too.. also in Luke 21 he says “8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.”
Take heed!!! Guard your testimony, protect it, do the spiritual work required.
Yes, it is critical that we really read the scriptures carefully. If you read the JST for Matthew 24--which is Joseph Smith-Matthew 1-- you will have a slightly different understanding of Matthew 24: 24. Read JS-Matthew 1:22. The word "were" is not there. The sense we are left with is that there will be some of the elect for whom it will be possible to be deceived. Keep in mind the elect are all those who have made covenants with God, not just leaders.
Thank you. Good insights. Incidentally, a Russian version of the Bible reads this: For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. This is a slight but significant difference from the English version.
Message to the whole world.
It's enough. It's Time

The elect won't be deceived. "If it were possible." The point is that if it was not for the Lord protecting us, even we would be deceived, the deception is going to be that great.
It also says that our Prophet will NEVER lead us astray!!
Yes!!! I quoted that in the next video I posted!! 🥰
The scriptures don’t say that anywhere.
@@daisymae4587 it does in the doctrine and covenants.
What is the statement of the church being g broken up in the last days?
So much for following with blind obedience
Shen you say reading the B of M over and over, and that it may sound boring, we need to remember that God won't send/ give us more than we're prepared to receive. There aren't that many members who know the Bof M that fully, including the rest of the scriptures. Then he will allow more revealed to us.
*When not shen! 😉
I like you, you think like me or we see the same thing or we receive the same revelation.
And it says the elect would be deceived IF IT WERE POSSIBLE.
THIS is the part that many seem to miss when quoting. Were it possible!!
Meaning, "how can it be possible" that so good, Covenant, Latter Day Saints could so easily be deceived.
@fightingfortruth9806 sometimes we can that's very true.
Clearly it is possible because it is happening before our eyes…people that have made covenants and yet leave the path… how does that happen?
I wish I could remember the exact verse. It was within our study of the Book of Mormon Another Testament of Christ within the last month. Something about when we sin against the light and truth, than we can lose that knowledge and forget what we once knew. I will get back to you on that reference.
Sad for the lady in the story. She is the one being deceived and is leading/persuading others to follow her. Case in point.
I know.. it makes me so sad! 😞
The problem with the prophet and the jab is that people forget he wasn't telling us to 109% get it. He also told us to Pr😢ay about it. My husband needed it or couldn't get a transplant. So for us it was a yes. If you prayed and got a no, you followed the prophet. I also was a temple worker and it was required.
There are so many false prophets. A good example occurred in Idaho. We should only follow those who follow the prophet.
Line upon line, precept on precept that is how he guides us, that is how he teaches his children. Line upon line upon line upin line upon line upon line....upon line.
25Behold, I have told you before. 26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
I have become rather exhausted with the CV narrative pertaining to the Prophet. More specifically I felt the spirit at times in my life that were pointing me in the direction of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And a year after being baptized, I saw people on both sides of that argument telling me that if I don’t get it, then I’m going to be cut off and others who said if you get it, then you will be cut off and anything else in between. But what I knew is that the Holy Ghost fell upon me when I read the book of Mormon and pointed me towards Truth that I never thought even existed let alone could’ve been true. Other things which I learned dead at the bottom of my heart, I desired to be true, even if it meant that I would not be in the celestial kingdom because at the time I was not baptized, but just the knowledge that what I was taught about heaven, as a child was not God‘s plan but rather the machinations of men. And that the doctrines that I had come to discover was everything I knew in my heart had to be true. It has become evident to me that there are knowledges which confirm latter-day saint teachings which have survived, but I don’t understand how it is that people think President Nelson is not a prophet. All I know is the patriarch said “Be patient in your endeavors and remember that the church is Divine.” And our patriarchal blessings have proven themselves many times over to be true. And it has become apparent to me that some people seem to be looking to other voices To be a prophet for their lives.
Beautifully written. Our reactions to others personal choices also became a test. There was a lot of finger pointing, judging, looking down on another which brought division in families and wards and communities. Fortunately we can all repent 😊
@@RebeccaGroendyke yes another consideration. Is that in my stake a general authority asked us a question “ The next time, a Prophet, asks you to do something will you do it?” Some Internet people took offense to this as clearly did someone in my stake, and blasted it out on the Internet. As for my stake president he seem to over the years, feel impressed, too warn us of the dangers of Podcasts, and how some of them will lead people into apostasy. I think he was right regardless of how he feels about CV. I know that prior to this being a giant stink that was getting blasted on the Internet for a short while I had questions and respectfully brought them to my stake president.
@@Jeanie-nv7lo good I’m glad he was pointing a finger at people like me who did not take the shot. But I still heeded their council. If the goal is to bring people into a state of unity, the Lord cannot afford division I am aware of the tendencies towards pride on both sides of the camp. listening to my aunt who is a protestant talk about the actions of her pastor as she sees it, which is that he went off to Haiti and brought back some type of illness that led to many people in his church, getting sick and dying in some cases and apparently he was the first one to get ill and my aunt decided to leave that church because as she sees it, he never took any responsibility for the consequences of what she believes he is responsible for. Therefore, I don’t see an easy answer other than to be one for if we are not one, we are not his I don’t care about apologies I don’t really care about opinions, but what I do know is that God made good on his promises which were set in motion before I was ever latter-day saint and praise God Amen.
It's interesting that people make non-shots, climate, gender aso their religion and leave the true church. 2 Thimothy 4:3-4. We hear what we want to hear, either we want to hear the Holy Spirit or we want something else and there will be other spirits talking to us and we must never forget that the evil spirits imitate the Holy Spirit to mislead us.
Absolutely! It’s so sad! That’s why following the prophet is so important, because we can deceive ourselves with what we want to hear and call it “personal revelation”. Personal revelation always will align with the gospel of Jesus Christ and what has already been revealed.
As for the shot.. I wish I never even mentioned it in my video because people took that to be the point of this video.. which really the point was that we have a prophet today who is pleading with us to choose to overcome this world, to follow Christ, to have the spirit, to gather Israel…. All the things.
The prophets last response to that message was to seek you own revelation. He never demanded. he gave you the free agency of you doing your research and asking for personal revelation. That has been his message since he became prophet.
Yes!!! Absolutely! He fully honors our agency!!

"Anticipated Christ's Return"
Well, let's see -- it's only been 2,000 years since Jesus was supposed to come again. I say - give a chance.
"Decent advice", if he was the prophet, wouldn't he have put his foot down and say no. In modern days they seem to follow the social media,for example the priesthood and blacks. Thank u for the video,I feel your concern. Please look into what they call "prophet worship". And confirmation of baptism. Eye operner
26:36 ...add those who go against the Proclamation of the Family.
Something to consider Christ himself as well as John said that the apocrypha’s validity would be testified of in time. I’m not sure I agree with the idea that god doesn’t expect his children to seek for hidden truths. Having said that as long as we’re keeping our covenants nothing else really matters.
I am currently of the mindset that what causes people to be deceived is not having an understanding of what’s to come that it breaks their faith, more specifically when and if the antichrist does show up and or the (fallen angels) as described in the book of Enoch that unless people have a grasp on just how supernatural this world actually is they will lose their testimony. Come follow me I believe is a spiritual maintenance program, but not a deep doctrinal guide to understanding the mysteries of god.
There will be an individual who will be THE antichrist in the latter days: Bible Dictionary under "antichrist": "A word used by John to describe one who would assume the guise of Christ but in reality would be opposed to Christ." And Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
I got the vaccine even though I felt strongly that I shouldn’t! I don’t blame anyone but myself and I will never forgive myself for doing it!
you should forgive yourself, you were manipulated by the media and maybe even forced by your work. And the church did not help at all, sad.
