At the beginning of this year, after eliminating some distractions from my life so that I could hear Him better, I had an impression to stop consuming content that enabled division and drama, even church-related content from LDS TH-camrs that did so. I decided to commit to that, and while I haven't been perfect, it has made a big difference in my ability to change and become closer to the Lord through the Holy Ghost.
Most LDS U tubers start off really good and let a little popularity go to their head. I don’t listen to most of them anymore, they cause confusion in peoples testimonies.
@@MarvelousWonder1830 I’ve quit listening to lots of news and commentary. It’s actually ok because my favorite died 3 years ago. I grieve him but know he’s doing more important things. It has made me not as angry at the other side of the political divide. I’m truly trying but every once in awhile I cut loose on someone on social media about politics. Then I feel horrible. So I know I’m on the right track. It’s truly in Heavenly Fathers hands. We all think we are right so maybe none of us are right. Oh well we just need to carry on doing what we are meant to do♥️
@@jeeperp3926where are you going with this, lad?
I started several years ago. One of my best life decisions.
Just... Fantastic!
My past Stake President has a job for which he works closely with our Prophet and Apostles. He was instrumental in putting together the meeting between the Pope and our Prophet. My past Stake President said "the brethren" are very concerned about the upcoming election and the contention that might result through the process. My goal is to show Jesus Christ my love for Him by being loving, peaceful, forgiving, and not judgmental. I have a long way to go, but I know it is important so I will be ready for the second coming.
@@barbarahale2821 yes we are all concerned about the up coming contention. Trump
Had a second attempt on his life at the golf course .
How long have you been a member of the church? Have you been a member long enough to recall a time when the church leaders called the catholic church the great and abominable church, the whore of all the earth? Yet now your dutiful stake president somehow was part of something great in helping arrange a meeting between the "prophet" and the pope, whom he afterwards referred to him by the honorary title "His Holiness"? Either the church was wrong then or it is wrong now, and if it was ever wrong how can it be so true?
This is world wide church not just an USA based church and more church member live outside the USA and the Utah church bubble than in it now.
@@AnnaBellaChannelyes. But the US is where the money is.
@@bonmamartine5178 How long do you think that will last in global church? That is temple building globally so members don't have to come to the USA, has free church magazines for all its members regardless of home country and has streamlined it curriculum into a church support home centre come follow me curriculum.
I love President Nelson’s message. In a troubled time, I feel peace, joy and love. Thank you for highlighting this important message, Jared!
LOVED this video!!! I've LONGED for this unity amongst the Saints.
I've seen this unity in a profound dream! Brothers and Sisters IT IS PROFOUND!!!! I've never experienced anything like it. In the dream, we were one! One heart, one mind, one in purpose. Even when we sing, there was a harmony I've never heard before!!! I testify that this unity is coming among the Saints. And it will be beautiful beyond description! I have experienced it for myself, and know it is coming, in Jesus Christ name, amen.
I would like to share your unity. Are you one of the saints that supports transgenderism at our church? The church leaders recently announced allowing trans kids into church bathrooms, with a bishops “permission” ( as if a bishop could grant such permission).
Will you stand up against the brethren as it comes to this?
Isn’t it Isiah that prophesied in the last days even church leaders would be like “watch dogs who lose their bark”.
Awesome 💖
It should be clear who to vote for if we listen to our leaders concerning the most important moral issues concerning the sanctity of life and the divine nature of gender as it says in the Family Proclamation. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose. We are for freedom of speech not censorship. Also we are against wars. May Our loving Father in Heaven and His Son Jesus Christ help us to take our vote seriously and help us choose the right. What amazing leaders we have in the church. Our President is a wonderful example. May the Lord continue to bless him for years to come, as well as all our members, may the Lord bless you to continue holding fast to the iron rod and help you keep your feet firm on the foundation of our Savior Jesus Christ. May we seek to be ever more like Him is my prayer.
If you care about the sanctity of life then why would you vote for a person who assaults and abuses women and talks about them as mere sex objects. Are women not alive to you? If you are for freedom, then why are you opposed to the rights of LGBT people? The reality is that neither of the candidates is a good champion of freedom. MAGA Republicans hate women, minorities and LGBT people, are becoming a more and more fascist breed of nationalist. They are trying to infuse Christianity into our government and in effect make it a state religion, which would be bad for everyone, regardless of your beliefs. The Democrats are too authoritarian as well in many respects are trying to infringe on our right to self-defense etc. And both parties refuse to actually do anything to address the huge poverty, income disparity and violence problems we have in this country. Our two party system is a joke. We need reform to break out of the downward spiral.
I am voting for Kamala Harris as the other is a liar, lewd , and cunning man. I read in the Bible that our Heavenly Father hates those things. Also we have come to this earth to exercise our agency, not to be MADE to follow someone else’s agenda for us. Our Heavenly Father is the only one with power to say who lives and who dies. And gender is defined by body, mind, and tendencies. You cannot tell someone how to feel. Plus the homosexual sin resides on straight people who out of lust “abandon the natural use of women to go after men.” And using religion to promote your political candidate is evil. That’s satan’s job.
You would think it was clear but there are so many who are voting for the candidate that represents the war party, the party who believes in multiple genders and the "right" of a woman to destroy the child in her womb. It is sad and sickening to me. Either way, we know the latter days will be full of opposition and the very elect will be lead astray. Christ is the King of Kings no matter who is president of the US.
@@reasonablebb1724 Amen well well said
Totally clear. When Oaks doubles and triples down on his support for the respect for marriage act which codifies gay marriage and gives the state the power to define what a marriage is, and only protects the corporation churches, but not the independent Christian pastors, it’s clear who he wants us to to vote for.
When Neil Anderson stands up in conference and says, “we are proud of members of the church forming a coalition with the LGBTQ community to pass a bill partisan bill in Arizona…” a bill which steals the private property rights of Christians, forcing them to rent their apartments or homes to gay couples or risk being sued, it’s very clear who our leaders want us to vote for.
Or when Uchtdorf is caught donating to the Joe Biden campaign during the 2020 race, it’s clear who our leaders think we should support.
Kamala Harris forever!
A heart surgeon for a prophet during a time when men's hearts shall fail them. "Coincidence? I think not!"
@@toddbender3463 that means not literal . It means confusion and no peace . And that prophecy has been full filled .
@@lindamartinez7006 of course it's not literal....
I would respectively argue that it very well could mean both....this is just my opinion , however...
@@rdancranston well, you're not wrong at all. Heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions are at an all time high and surging with no end in sight.
Great point and the next prophet knows the “law”
This weeks come follow me lesson is extremely powerful. It talks about how the people were called to gather together and become one and the only reason they not only survived but defeated the robbers is because they obeyed and repented and humbled themselves.
I have only studied the first five chapters of third Nephi for the lesson. I’ve read it many times before, but this time stands out to mirror our day in extraordinary ways.
The CFM readings are incredibly timely this year. 😅
I agree 100%
We have been called to consecrate our lives if we are endowed. It is not just $. It is our desires, time, habits, service, how we treat our bodies, our minds-all of who we are. It is a pathway to come unto Him. Whew. Not easy. Let's keep moving that way.
Isn't it powerful that the prophet is issuing a call for the Saints to unite just ahead of this divisive, contentious election.
That's a super good observation! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
The rest of the world where the majority of the church members now live don't vote in the USA election.
@@AnnaBellaChannel It will still impact them since the church is headquartered here. And, many countries are dealing with similar divisions, and many people in those countries have similarly elevated feelings about their issues. Not only that, but if the US is destabilized, that will have ripple effects across the world. No country is an island.
Also, I suspect that's one of the reasons he didn't say anything directly about the election. He wanted the message to be applicable worldwide. And it is. However, when we liken the prophet's message unto ourselves, this is one obvious application. He's obviously very aware of what's going on in the US and how volatile it is.
@@SegoLily The UK is an island. "This fortress built by Nature for herself" where we argue with each other because we care.
@@AnnaBellaChannel Okay. You are exempt, then. 😆 We love you, wherever you are.
I'm grateful for the ward I live in! I don't feel any animosity, there's no jealousy or pride. It's true friendship... true unity. I have never felt more comfortable in a ward. There's a reason why my husband and I are here.
I feel this same way about my Branch! I love it.
You are so lucky. I feel like most people in our ward are not welcoming. Nobody reaches out.
I believe the reason this is true is directly tied to how you feel/act toward the people in your ward. That is so wonderful! You might be surprised that not everyone in your ward may feel the same way. I hope I'm wrong. But if the day comes when you come across this, don't let it derail you. Keep feeling and showing unconditional love for those people around you. Everyone needs love... and your heart is in the right place. Thank you for sharing!
@ZebraXWarrior maybe find a way that you can reach out to them.
I feel the same way about our ward.
Yes! We need unity. Also with people from other religions that are also waiting and preparing for the coming of the Lord. This is no time to be fighting which church is better or which one is right or which one has more truth, we all should be united since we are all waiting for Him
Absolutely
Amen.
The two churches referenced in Nephi's vision are archetypes, not organizations. We need to embrace and support every good person, no matter where they are.
Yes there are keys and ordinances that are only in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but after one third of the world is destroyed in the tribulation as suggested in Revelation, that will leave a lot of people who are not among the 8 million remaining "Saints" (5 wise virgins of 10).
@@pythonista466 exactly 👍
Whenever I read the first chapter in 4 Nephi I cry. I cry really hard as my heart yearns for such a society. I was raised in a home full of contention (non-LDS), and I only knew kindness outside of my home.
- - As for myself; I am a work in progress. I am Thankful To Be A Member Of " The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints '".
- With leadership from President Nelson, I know that if I/ we follow his Guiding Words, the obstacles on the path to Heavenly Father & Eternal Life, will be easier to overcome.
- I have a strong feeling that the October General Conference will have many great & marvellous words of guidance as always.
- Thank You, this is a well made video.
I’ve thought about this a lot. Imagine if all those in a ward prayed for each other and the leaders, especially the bishop who is also ‘the father of the ward’. Instead of gossiping about ward members prayer for and with each other I think it would elevate us all
Yes the true order of prayer.
Amen to this! My beloved husband is the current bishop in our ward and I feel this too. It is SO much easier to fulfill his role and calling when the adult members are willing to pray together and work with one another.
Whenever two or more pray, prayers are answered. I agree w/ you
@@bobwerner6512the Masonic handshakes don't get you to heaven... this is a matter of the heart. To think only the LDS go to heaven makes God a cult member.
@@deborahkurpjuweit5746 I am not sure what to say I do Love you have a Great day
I am looking forward to healthy food and water and healthy and complete bodies
Me too ❤ I’m soooo excited for that 🥲
Amen to that! 🙌🏼
Excellent video, Jared.
Just on the topic of “becoming one” but not losing our individuality, one of my favorite quotes:
“there is more individuality in
those who are more holy. Sin on the other hand brings sameness. It shrinks us to addictive appetites and insubordinate impulses. For a brief surging selfish moment sin may create the illusion of individuality, but only as in the
grunting galloping gadarene swine.”
-Elder Maxwell
One of my favorite quotes from an apostle who has had the most profound influence in bringing me back to the fold.
Thanks Jared!
The President’s message is so needed right now. Contention and belittling others is becoming second nature especially on line. I’ve been noticing a division in the church over such things as geography models for the Book Of Mormon and whether polygamy was a revelation from God. People pick their camps and fight on line about it. Our own brothers and sisters in Christ. I encourage everyone to resist participating in this contention. We can express our beliefs and have discussions without tearing others down.
I’ve been worried if I was worthy of the Lord’s help recently, but going through the points in this video made me feel a lot of comfort when I felt like I met the qualifications- thank you for making this video.
Thank you for sharing this and your thoughts - I've been self reflecting on so much lately and what I can do to do better myself. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father and hoping I can do better and be there for whatever they have in store for me to do.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful talk and the invitation from President Nelson to become a people prepared to meet Christ and usher in the millennium. Another hint of what's approaching in the near future. I've been feeling the need and desire to further approach Zion in my characteristics and have felt greater and greater emphasis from our church leaders to move to a higher level through Christ's power. Accepting this invitation allows us to be separated from the tares of the world, to come out of Babylon, and to be seated at the wedding feast.
The tares are inside church, and there are more tares than wheat now, and have nothing to do with the world.
Great job at learning to overcome them, which is hard, but possible, and many are needing the Prophet!
But this is good
@@garysanders8740 Good point, but aren't they tares because they have succumbed to worldly Gods. And I have in no way learned to overcome. I'm "feeling the need and the desire", but have a long way to go.
When we find ourselves thinking poorly of our Brothers and sister we need to take these to the Lord and when we are not seemingly able to give it to the Lord then maybe we can Pray the same Prayer as King Lamoni's Father Prayed. Root this Evil spirit out of my soul.
Love it! Is it hard-yes! To love others who are actively hurting someone, who claim victimhood and are easily offended, excuse and commit acts of violence, etc. It is so hard to unify when certain behaviors make living together impossible. Having it be the desire of our hearts to love all will bring miracles. I'm excited to see how it all works out.
I'm so excited for conference!
Thank you Jared! The love of God in their hearts. Envision that as light and luminosity of your soul, then transmit it out from your heart to surround and support others.
There’s lots of pride and ego here in Provo. Makes me sad seeing lots of people pushing others away from the church.
You are right, 😢 is everywhere , plus! what the media influence in their life. Wake up and smell the road, he’s coming!
I agree it’s everywhere 😢
I was told many times. “when times get hard, people true characters will show”
Remember to help each other.
The Saints there in Utah finally are getting a taste of The Spoils of Babylon and her riches and that feeling of being outside the bubble and being what the world has to offer feels good. Many of the Saints there are being lulled into that carnal security and instead of wanting to stand out differently and be a peculiar people are choosing to blend in with Babylon and to consume her influences. That will be rectified soon and there will be a great humbling that will take place and it will start upon the Lord's mountain top and it will spread from there on to the Gentile Nations. There will be a humbling of the Saints everywhere but those in Utah who know the covenants the most will see it soon.
Yes there is a lot of “fake nice” people in Utah sadly
A couple of weeks ago our ward was split in utah. We were put into a new ward. Although we miss our old friends the unity we have felt in the new ward has been great.
This experience makes me feel like God is gathering his elect into the storehouses. Tons of stakes in utah are going thru this as well. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Our ward split recently too, creating one new ward and keeping the original ward. We remained in the “old” ward and just love it. Our ward was so large it almost felt like stake conference every Sunday. By the time we finished ward business, announcements and the sacrament there was only account 15 to 20 minutes left for the talks. It’s such a different feeling now where we all know each other and how we can help one another. Such a different feeling. It’s wonderful.
I think the wards and stakes are doing this because about a year ago the church announced that they want the wards to be smaller, like 420 members instead of in the 600’s.
I wish that was the same with my ward. Since Covid everyone has been so rude. The ladies are in their own Littles groups like they are in middle school and are not very welcoming to new members of the ward or if you don't fit in (like me.)
It is wonderful to change and learn from our change
We are a different from the ward I was accustomed to in WA state before COVID, this little TX branch grows but is spread so wide I haven't seen the opposite boundary in the 3 years I have lived here. Our precious primary is small but the disabled and elderly outnumber the active members. I pray for the healing of our growing elderly population every day. My feeling is that many are prevented from attending the temple due to the distance/time required to spend the hours there. Once we are healed, the temples will be more crowded! I plan to increase my time there and have a second hip replacement this fall!😊8
We are splitting the 28th of this month. So excited! Our ward has been huge for too long. 5 wards are splitting in our stake to create a new ward. Our ward is the biggest out of the 5.
I’m so excited for our Lord to come!!❤
Thank you Christian. I think that it is time to get in the ark!
His name is Jared 😊
I thought that too a few years ago. 😂
Our stake president just told us that we are about to see things that we have never seen before. Now our phones can blow up
What do you mean tho about phones blowing up? 🤔 ty
Did he mean seeing good things or bad things?
@@bkampi2622 oh yes, I understand now, ty
I deleted it because I’m not sure if sharing what was said in church is allowed.
@@bkampi2622why would it not be allowed? Why would we not be meant to hear it and only your ward you know? And yes I'm partly saying that because I'm interested to know what was said to see if it pertains to something I've been wondering.
You can live the law of consecration now. Pay your tithing and give generous Fast offerings and donations to the other categories. This brings more joy that any possessions you can buy with that money.
The Law of Consecration is really just a change in attitude. If we acknowledge that all we have/are is actually God's, and we are only stewards, and we follow His will in the management of our stewardship, then we are fulfilling our covenant to live the law of consecration.
Amen! I would add helping those in need ❤️
Also helping a neighbor who lost a job, buying groceries for a widow.
When it is one on one ministering, it changes yours and others lives. The Lord whispers the instructions, and help us all be ready for the day of full consecration.
The law of tithing is the lower law.
@@tamichristiansen387Beautifully stated. ❤
by giving the Church money you are actively supporting their financial investment portfolio, which is not Christlike. They invest money where it will make profit, apparently without taking moral implications into account.
This is the GREAT AWAKENING. KEEP this commandment... "Love one another as I have loved you"
There was this really great quote from the History of the Saints where the prophet at the time spoke to the members telling them that they needed good members of the church in the Conservative Party and the Democratic Party to influence others. I thought it was a great reminder that members may have different political views, but can still be united in our faith of Christ, and influence others for good through our testimonies of Him! I am worried about the election, but I am choosing not to fear but focus on my Faith in Jesus Christ. And I love the thoughts about continually seeing each other primarily as children of God. Truly brothers and sisters.
@@Jeanie-nv7lo Perhaps you are right. It could also be that we have different circumstances with the same remedy. Let me propose my thoughts this way--Even political parties need "sons of Mosiah" sharing the gospel. "Moroni's" defending freedoms. Until the work is finished. We all have a different role to play in our different spheres of influence but we all talk and teach and preach and live the same goal: to become like the Savior.
Don't forget, the Nephites who achieved this state of unity were only able to do it because they survived three days of darkness, tempests, earthquakes, thunderings and lightnings, vapors of smoke, whole cities burned, buried, and sunk in the sea, and all the people killed except for the more righteous among them. Then after a personal visitation from Jesus Christ were they able to reach this state. If the Book of Mormon is for us in our day, I suspect we will have to go through a similar experience to prepare us.
This is extremely important. I believe a major earthquake in Utah before General Conference may make it so it is not broadcast to the world. I'm grateful to have President Nelsons words in advance.
I agree that we should show love for others individuals regardless of there political views. I think I generally live that principle. However, many of our neighbors have been deceived and it is a dangerous problem for Western countries.
We are already dealing with governments and supporting institutions that constantly lie to us and try to silence the truth. We should not have a contentious spirit but we cannot avoid contention to the point that evil is allowed to be done and/or we loose our freedom.
Jesus certainly did not shy from contention when he felt it necessary.
I agree that we need to stand up for truth and righteousness in love. I've learned that conflict and contention are not the same thing. We will face conflict and evil vs good these days, but we can respond the best we can without contention or pride and just arguing. We can speak the truth and stand for our values and beliefs in love, but if others don't want to hear it or aren't open to discuss to learn or just want to argue and be right, we don't have to do the same. Like the Brethren in the temple, we can strive to have kind discussions (with both passionate and different views), but each person chooses to be humble and listen for God's way and will on the matter and then we follow that together. I realize that's not the reality with most of us a lot of the time and each side can choose to humbly learn or not, but it's something we can strive for as much as it is in our control on our side. We were saved for these days, and God will help us do it.
I’m screwed :( fell off the wagon since moving. Been a struggle. Heart failing ;( thx for the video again Jared. Love ya brother
Just get back up and keep going! 💛 The Lord cares way more about which direction we're headed in than where we are on the line. You've got this, and He's got you.
I fall off the wagon it seems almost daily😣...but I get back up and always remember who is cheering me on!!😆😇
It’s okay! I dropped off the wagon lots of times, but finally the power of the priesthood came into play. Keep trying and also keep forgiving yourself. 🤍🤍🤍
My dear brother , do not give up , keep trying, keep fighting the great deceiver, we all fall but we must get back up ! Father knows you , He loves you, He never gives up on His children so you are not screwed, that’s what Satan wants you to believe but don’t give him that victory! Trust Father !!!
Go to your knees in prayer often. Even if you don't feel like it, even if you can't seem to find the words. I say that because I've sadly experienced thus myself but if you stay on your knees, the word eill come and the mire you do this the mire comfort you will have. I fell off the wagon myself but I testify to you through prayer you will find your way back. You aren't svmcrewd. Satan wants you to belueve that because he can easily hokd you back. Jesus Christ loves you, his arms are stretch wide wanting you to embrace him. Tell Satan to take a hike. Get out if your life, brkueve in yourself. I dint kniw you but just by your comment I know you can fund your way back. Nobody is better than you. Chrust lives you as much as anyine else. You my friend are in my orators. Much love to you. ❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing this - what I needed today.
My ward doesn’t typically speak about the Second Coming that often… much to my dismay. Something happened last week. There’s quite a few on the train! All of a sudden at the end of our gospel doctrine lesson as well as in the closing prayer, there was a string of comments about it. AND about it being very close!!! I was amazed by it! 🙌
Not in my ward. If it is brought up, especially the state of our country, there is a harsh look and no response. There is an unspoken rule that we are not allowed to talk about it. Its very frustrating
When reading the words of our prophet instead of picturing the face of President Nelson imagine the face of our Lord Jesus Christ speaking.
Worship God, not man.
Seems to me United we stand Divided we fall. Have a great day all of us. Thankyou for your video sir.
Marley said it best: One love! What about the one heart? One heart!
What about the-Let's get together and feel alright
As it was in the beginning (One love!)
So shall it be in the end (One heart!)
Alright!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright
Let's get together and feel alright
😮 wow
Did you see the new youth theme announced today?
"The youth theme chosen for 2025 is “Look unto Christ,” based on Doctrine and Covenants 6:36, which reads, “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.”
"Young Women General President Emily Belle Freeman said the theme scripture for this year is one meant to empower the youth - particularly in times of doubt or fear."
Sound advice for all of us any time. But 2025 could be an interesting one.
Wow, perhaps President Nelson is saying that we are in the process of becoming like the people in 4 Nephi right now together?
Interesting that he has been focusing so much on 3 Nephi, and now it’s 4th Nephi? I thought that too when I first read the article. So interesting.
Not unless we have no rich and poor. We're so far gone from 4th Nephi. Not even close.
@@TureRealD I hope that I will see the day when we have no rich and no poor.
I would add that no one on earth is living a perfect Celestial law. Only the Lord was Celestial on earth. The rest of us are living or walking a line between telestial and terrestrial as we seek to become celestial and allow the Spirit to change us through Christs grace. Remember, the earth will become a celestial kingdom but becoming indicates a develpmental period of time to get there. The Lord understands mental health and addiction which may cause someone depressed, thus sometimes or for some addicted (pick your addiction), to appear to be telestial. The Lord is merciful to those with telestial sins who even desire to be celestial and will include them in his mercy if they are engaging in the process of repentance. Repentance isnt an event its a process. And Helaman taught that power is given to the redeemer from the father to redeem because of repentance (the process). Engaging in the process is like putting on a spiritual life jacket allowing the Lord to grant mercy to the repentant (not those who are done repenting since its not an event but the repentant who are in the process and working at overcoming the natural man). Too many in the church think that because they have no serious sin that they are somehow more perfect, that they have arrived and are living celestial law. Not so. They are trying to live celestial law and cannot become celestial without the transformative power of Jesus Christ offering grace to us via the Spirit. That Spirit will teach us our weaknesses that offend the Lord, that injur others and ourselves and stand in the way of perfection. So i hope this offers hope to those who may feel fear that they are not perfect enough and who try and try but are stuck in addiction. The Lord doesnt expect perfection. He asks us to engage in the process of trying to ask for help and then trying to change and live the standards. And he is patient and wants to forgive the repentant. There are those in the church who think because they have a recommend that they are safe. Safety only lies in engaging in the process of repentance which will continue well into the next life until we are pronounced complete.
Well said! That is the very thing that gives me hope. I can't go through a day without a mistake. Repentance helps me be more humble and accept others where they are at. It is a process, and no two people are alike. I believe we will be judged for our attitudes. For how we tried to treat others. How quick we repent.
I wonder how many would accept a call from the prophet to institute the Law of Consecration? It would be the most difficult for the rich and those who desire riches, I think.
We already promise that in the Temple. A separation has been going on and will intensify.
@@lynneb.2357 You might find a time where you will need to help feed others... both spiritually and physically.
Consecration is a celestial law. It is the foundation of a Zion society. As Zion is gathered it will be embraced without compulsory means.
Every endowed member of the Church has already voluntarily covenanted to live this law.
Tares are a type of grass, so when you g looks like wheat. However it in sufficient quantities mixed in wheat made into flour can cause a drunken kind of state. Or in higher amounts worse. Makes the parable more meaningful knowing tnis.
Oh Lord is it I?!
Yes but what happened before that society could be established? The wicked were all destroyed. Yikes! Things are gonna get dicey.
Yes! There was a catalyst. A reset.
I view this more as guiding, directing, and preparing us, rather than warning.
I’m scared!! I try my hardest but I’m in the middle of being a care taker for my mother who is a provoker. My parents are not members and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do!! I’m failing at it. But I get along with everyone else. I always look for peace because I need it in my life so bad right now. I want so badly to be a part of those who are ready for the millennium and I’m afraid I’m failing. Please please pray for me! I have a strong testimony of the Gospel and I love my Father in Heaven and my Savior Jesus Christ. I just feel like these certain people make me defensive and angry. I’m provoked at every corner:( I’m having a hard time ignoring and not reacting:(
A few thoughts:
Teflon repels. Don’t absorb negativity
Another person can be negative (their choice) but you can say things like, that’s interesting, I’m glad you can share your feelings, I am working on being positive full-time. Your righteous desires are everything and helps your onward & upward trajectory!
@@jabblesowen4583 thank you! I try so hard and will continue to try. Thank you for your suggestions. I need to do better and I pray each time I’m there, which is pretty much every day or every other day. Thank you again!
Hang in there! You might be doing better than you think. Try to be aware of the adversary wiggling in due to the guilt about being triggered and responding, it makes it even harder. You’ve got this 🤍
@@templesofjesus you are exactly right!! That’s what happens and I’m learning how to NOT respond negatively and let me tell you it’s so hard!! I’ve been provoked my whole life and it’s just a ton of layers of negativity and sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode!! There’s contention in their home but in my home there’s not. So I just get so frustrated that they are 83 years old and act like 2 year olds. My mother has Parkinson’s and is angry at the world that she is sick.
Thank you for your kind comments. I hope I’m doing ok in my Saviors eyes but I feel I have a ways to go.
@@Klh415 🦋🦋🦋 Just keep telling yourself Who you choose (Jesus…) and that alone puts you on His side. This too shall pass, I feel you 🤍
This was a very difficult video for me to watch. I’ve been a political junkie since I was eight years old. I was also a political science major. I have a real problem with both presidential candidates. I’ve had bad thoughts about both of them. After hearing this video, I realize I have a great deal of repentance that I need to do. it’s almost an hourly struggle for me. But thank you for this video. I want to be one with the Lord and his people and I can see that I have a great deal of work to do.
I have a friend who was very upset about the results of an election.
In the temple a voice came to her: "Earthly kingdoms will rise and fall. Build My Kingdom."
👉Pay attention to the next page in the digital Liahona: “Unity-be of one heart and one mind” (a collection of teachings from prophets and apostles on Social media about unity). A cloud of witnesses.
I often worry about the subject of unity. I want unity. But life is so full of people wanting to pull me away from the teaching of Christ. I don't know how to create unity in that chaos. I have family that are very contentious about the faith. I wish they could see the folly in their wisdom. And I'm sure they feel the same way about me. Does this disqualify me as someone unwilling to unify? You said we can't be loners, but truthfully, walking the faith as a disciple of Christ can be lonely. I certainly don't feel part of the eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die crowd. So I guess I'll just do my best and hope the Lord can look on my heart.
Don't reply to negativity. Let the negativity wash off of you and always try to find something positive to say to them. But sometimes I have to excuse myself so I don't get caught in their snares.
A harder task... but easy once you accept it... continue to be a person shining with positivity. At some point they're going to want what you have, and may soften their hearts. It may take real tragedy in their lives and overcoming bitterness. You might be their only bright light in their lives. Amid all the contention seen today, being able to rise above it with peace, strength and confidence will draw others to you. Share with them the provider of peace and love. Lead them to Christ, and perhaps they will seek to repent and wash away what is burdening them.
I can understand what youre talking about. We may feel very alone in following Christ at times, even among our own family and friends. But the Lord does bless us in our efforts and raises up friends and pours out peace. This has been happening in my life too, even though it's painful in other relationships right now and there need to be healthy boundaries. I've also been learning that true unity among each other only comes when we are each personally united with God and converted to and follow His doctrine, His ways, and His will. We can do our part and what we can control on our side, and then allow others to choose and make wise decisions moving forward for our lives. Together, our righteous and humble hearts and actions will help create the Zion we need to welcome back the Savior. It's a process for all of us.
Become the type of person that they will want to follow. If you are able to radiate the Spirit they will notice.
If possible bring others into their lives who also radiate The Spirit.
You don’t need to preach at them. Just lead by example and love them fearlessly with all your heart. No matter what.
Know that you are never alone. You can always pray, every if it is a silent prayer it will be heard.
Stay strong it is worth it 🤗
Thank you.
I've noticed a LOT of division within the Church has to do with politics. There's a difference between keeping oneself informed and going off in one direction or another. For the past several months a fellow Church member on social media (elsewhere in America from where I live) was getting very preachy about politics. Where he wanted everyone on his friends list to align with his opinions in literal lock-step or we were all too brainwashed by propaganda to notice 'the errors of our ways.' Last week, I told him he was going overboard with his opinions. Which were very destructive, divisive and based off of provable media driven lies. I didn't tell him the first bit, but I did tell him that he needed to take a break from politics and focus on his family or a hobby for a while. Not long later, I discover he completely blocked me on social media. Sad times are definitely coming.
I would highly recommend that you state that you alone am responsible for the opinions and views expressed herein. You are an ordinary member of the church making interpretations.
I think that is obvious to anyone who thinks about it for 30 seconds. I have never heard Jared suggest otherwise.
I have had these feelings for awhile. “Jesus cannot return to the earth until there is a people prepared to receive Him.”- Pres Nelson.
We need to be of one heart and one mind. Loving and caring for each other with no pride. I have been trying to work on these things. It’s crazy how if you are trying to seek God more in your life and then he blesses you with the things you stand in need of. I think we need to also get to a point where we completely rely on God for everything. That our relationship with Him will be based on faith and love for Him. We will know God and Jesus on a deeper level.
I am sure that we also need to get to a point where we freely give and receive what we have. It is how it will need to be. No poor among us. Everyone is the same.
The one word I did not see in any of that article…. Solidarity. …. Interesting…. Because the last worldwide event we had involving sports, was all about solidarity. I heard that word spoken so many times and at the surface it’s like, oh how nice, they are calling for unity in the world. But no, they are not! There is difference between unity and solidarity. And there is a reason President Nelson uses the word Unity.
When I looked up on google the difference, even google gave an example of a sports event where fans and players could be “unified” by wearing matching colors. The example it gave for solidarity was of a union or workers on strike……
To me that call for solidarity from the worldwide organization looks like that one leader from that one particular group in the Book of Mormon we are reading about right now who wrote the letter with flattering words saying, instead of fighting us, why don’t you come down and join us. We will show you our ways and you can partake of what we have…
Where as President Nelson’s words look like the righteous leader defending truth, calling for true unity and peace through genuine respect of persons and laws.
I will not cast my vote for anyone other than King Jesus.
This Sunday elder and sister Gong will be speaking at the salt lake community college Jordan institute at 7 pm
The call to Zion (Missouri) has quickened since 2020. God has been calling people from all over to move to this area.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Lisa! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
When Pope and Prophet meet, globalism lieth at the door.
I’m in the Palmer Park Branch In Detroit Michigan,and never fell any adversity at all
Oh how I needed this video, Jared. (The election war.) Thank you!
A great follow-on to this video will be the next Liahona article (digital only: Church Leaders Teachings from Social Media) Unity - "Be of One Heart and One Mind"
Read the Book of Mormon - it is all in there and even stronger warnings and language. The witness and the warnings. If this magazine article gets you all excited like it is some huge revelation or warning, the you guys need to read the Book of Mormon. It has been there all along!
Thanks
Dear Jared, I do like your channel but I can't afford your membership. Live on low income, so this is luxery for me. but I enjoy listening to your free channel Thanks
Joseph Smith said that if he lived to be 80 years old, he’d be here to witness the second coming of Christ. Are we still too wicked?
Thanks for the comment. Actually, I have a few related quotes on that:
Bruce R. McConkie
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The time for the Second Coming of Christ is fixed and certain as was the hour of his birth. It will not vary as much as a single second from the divine decree. He will come at the appointed time. The Millennium will not be ushered in prematurely because men turn to righteousness, nor will it be delayed because iniquity abounds.
Bruce R. McConkie, The Millennial Messiah: The Second Coming of the Son of Man [1985], 26-27.
____________
Joseph Fielding Smith
President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
When we become ripe in iniquity, then the Lord will come. I get annoyed sometimes at some of our elders who when speaking say the Lord will come when we all become righteous enough to receive him. The Lord is not going to wait for us to get righteous. When he gets ready to come, he is going to come - when the cup of iniquity is full - and if we are not righteous then, it will be just too bad for us, for we will be classed among the ungodly, and we will be as stubble to be swept off the face of the earth, for the Lord says wickedness shall not stand. Do not think the Lord delays his coming, for he will come at the appointed time, not the time which I have heard some preach when the earth becomes righteous enough to receive him. I have heard some men in positions and places of trust in the Church preach this, men who are supposed to be acquainted with the word of the Lord, but they failed to comprehend the scriptures. Christ will come in the day of wickedness, when the earth is ripe in iniquity and prepared for the cleansing, and as the cleanser and purifier he will come, and all the wicked will be as stubble and will be consumed.
Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie [1956], 3:457.
This is a hard thing for me to do. I’m working on loving people with out fault
Thank you for this. It's very instructive. I might recommend that you replace " you " with " we " or "us" So as not to sound so condescending or " better than thou". It makes your message more palatable. I.e we each have a little bit of wheat and tares within us. Hence, the beauty of His grace and redemption for all. God bless President Nelson and God help us all. ❤️🙏🏼
Couldn’t the Prophet use his calling to prophesy of what is going to happen? He forgot to prophesy the coming of Covid.
You are saved by grace.
No question about that but what we receive in the judgment of rewards is predicated in part by our works
I note with great interest that 4 Nephi, and Nelson's article, mentions the Savior teaching about equality, no poor, servants that minister, love, etc. Nowhere does the Savior institute a hierarchy, leadership, authority or control. Actual Zion has no need for these things.
A lot happened that didn't make it into the record we have received. I believe we are not ready for those details.
I believe there will be a hierarchy (which literally means "rule by priests"), but it will be based on counsils and stewardship and will flow without any compulsion.
God's house is a house of order. Read Joseph Smith and World Government by Hyrum L Andrus for some hints.
Are members ready to cancel the Police State?
Nope, many of them make their living believing in their works and partaking of their spoils. (Helaman 6:38) No commentary in the manual regarding chapter 6. No surprise.
Great video. Loved the fish analogy. Can’t wait for conference!
Certainly NOT A CULT.
Thx Jared
Well, Im honest and straightforward. However, having a legal background, trial attorney training, Im contentious many times. Im not superficial or glib but my neighbor grinds my gears. I have a lot of work ahead of me. …
Awesome. Keep up your good works
I think we need to be very careful about making comments such as if you're contentious You might not be around for the millennium. We don't truly know what's going on in people's lives and I think comments like that are dangerous. To try and indicate where the cutoff line between telestial and terrestrial would be is extremely foolhardy. I think being judgmental like this really misses the mark.
Satan will be bound, no disagreements, no worries, no negative issues.
That what I believe...
Everyone will move on to some extent
Your definition of strength is one- sided. Sometimes there are people who want to harm others no matter how much love you show them. Thats when another form of strength is required. It’s called courage or bravery. I can tell by the things you’ve said that you are against brave strong men. There are those of us who have trained spiritually physically and mentally to face the coming days. Love is not an excuse for cowardice or resentment towards strong men. You use the words of The Prophet, but are advocating Beta behavior which is not love.
@@Jeanie-nv7lo I’m not calling anyone Beta, the author of this video called strong men Betas. Christ stood for what is right at all times. He was not a violent contentious man but he was not afraid to take those to task who were placing their own views before Godly principles. I’m afraid that our society and cultures has twisted what it means to be a Godly Man. The author was right in saying that those who seek after possessions are Beta, but a strong brave man who will not follow the crowd especially when they are wrong is the ultimate Godly man in my estimation. Cpt. Moroni, Ammon, Teancum, etc……..
The mormon church isn't true dude. Even the earliest saints knew that which is why so many left. Sitting here and geeking out on all these statistics is fine and all, but it's all a ploy to take your money.
Unity is only good if it is unity with Christ. There should be unity within the church but sadly there are many who are wolves in sheep's clothing or useful idiots of Satan who push for things far outside the doctrines and standards of the church. Unity in the church means these people either need to become truly converted, or removed from the church if they refuse to submit to Christ. We can't seek for unity with the world, we can't have 'fitting in' as our objective. We have to stay true to the faith and that more and more will mean a division between us and the world. That doesn't mean we have to be obnoxious or contentious and go about creating conflict, but it means we can't compromise on morality.
Did you see President Nelson's Facebook post/reel today, sharing part of his Peacemakers needed talk? He is really emphasizing this point. I wonder if his conference talk will be along unity/peacemaker lines.
Hi! I just made a video that mentions your comment! I have it scheduled for tomorrow. Thank you so much! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
The Theme of the OT and the NT Both..is Obey Gods Commandments (not mens) and LIVE..Disobey Gods Commandments and your sins will do you in. Simple Folks 😊❤
"Or who has the nicest house in the HOA" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 even though it was a funny comment, it is true in my neighborhood. 😂😂😂
Please tell us what, then, is charity? Thank you.
The BOM peoples didn’t get it together and build a real Zion until a great destruction came. It was like a reset. I expect a repeat of that …except this time, earth wide, instead of American continent.
We are too stuck individually in making life happen, financial goals, next year’s vacation…most don’t even know how impossibly hard it is for some.
Corrupt our communication with contention = exploding pagers?
You were post was more timely than I reali.
I posted something that was funny or it could be well some of it is, but other parts were quite unsettling, and I had to jump back between things and quickly delete or at it.🎉 28:47
He said, "No, that's the Wrong Answer." "Don't be a Beta Fish!" 😂
I just read the artical which was great, but no where did it say or suggest these will be the only people "moving on"
Alma Chapter 38. Verses 11-14
(11) See that ye are not lifted up unto pride; yea, see that ye do not boast in your own wisdom, nor of your much strength. (12) Use boldness, but not overbearance; and also see that ye bridle all your passions, that ye may be filled with love; see that ye refrain from idleness. (13) Do not pray as the Zoramites do, for ye have seen that they pray to be heard of men, and to be praised for their wisdom. (14) Do not say: O God, I thank thee that we are better than our brethren; but rather say: O Lord, forgive my unworthiness, and remember my brethren in mercy -- yea, acknowledge your unworthiness before God at all times.
So is the big celebration of Nelson's 100th birthday Nelson showing us hownto be a humble follower of Christ? Why do we not also have a "Joseph Smith holiday" here in Utah?
We already a Jesus birthday. We need to stop with the prophet worship.
Random note: You might want to update your "Prophets: Occupations" sheet. President Ballard is still on there as a "living" person. So I guess you would replace him with President Holland.
I think everyone is better than me and that I'm not worth a thing. Does that make me evil?
No, not evil... but wrong in your thinking... you are God's child as much as anyone else. If you love other people and you think God loves them.. then you have to think of yourself the same way.
@maryjr3857 Antonio, here. If you are striving to improve your personal relationship with the Resurrected Christ, then definitely, you can assure yourself that you're not evil. Be kind with yourself. Be kind with others. Be kind with the whole world. That's all you need to be. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the gospel of grace! His grace is sufficient for them that believe and call on His Name, even the Christ of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! Blessings 🙌
I struggled with this in the past. I learned that being negative with yourself is the same sin as being negative with others. Learn to talk to yourself as you would with others, love yourself, know that you are human and make mistakes. That is what repentance is for. he has given us a path to ease our burdens. As long as you are truly trying to move forward by cleaning up your mistakes you are on the coveted path.
No, your a human being, Don't put to much pressure on yourself and enjoy soaking up gospel truths. One truth at a time. It is not sprint.
@maryjr3857 Antonio, here. The way I see things is that I'm definitely not better than anyone else. I'm definitely better off than many, however. So, I thank Father every night in prayer for the grace He gives me! Even in my darker moments, I know I'm in the tender watchcare of the unseen. So are you! Blessings 🙌
