THIS WEEK HAS BEEN FULL OF MIRACLES AND LAUGHTER ( STILL OF HF AND ME ONLY THOUGH ) SUNDAY WE HAD AN AMAZING OPP TO MEET AND HEAR FROM PRESIDENT UCHTDORF. HE IS UNREAL. SO INTUNED WITH THE SPIRIT. mAIN TOPICS: ALWAYS THROUGHOUT LIFE BEING ABLE TO BE AN INSTRUMENT IN THOUS HANDS 24-7 ( BEING ABLE TO BE HUIDED BY THE SPIRIT AT ALL TIMES ) HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO STAY IN CONTACT WITH ALL CONVERTS OR MEMBERS YOU HELP WITH. HE PUT THEM IN YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON. THEY ARE NOW LIFE CONTACTS. IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT ANYONE THINKS OF YOU ONLY WHAT GOD THINKS OF YOU. MAKE SURE EVERYTHING YOU DO HAS THE BEST MOATIVES. HE ANSWERS YOUR PRAYERS THROUGH TRIALS. HE GIVES YOU " TREASURE HUNTS " TO FIND ANSWERS. NEVER GIVE UP, ENDURE TO THE END. FORGIVE ALL AND EVERYONE THOUGH MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION IS. TESTIMONY IS THE PASSPORT TO THE FUTURE. THERE IS ONLY ONE PASSPORT TO THE KINGDON OF GOD, A FIRM TESTIMONY. BOM ANSWERS ALL QUESTIONS. FOCUS ON THE TEMPLE. YOU ARE FREE TO ACT FOR YOURSELF WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT WE CHOOSE TO DO WITH OUR AGENCY. MAKE YOUR CHOICES EARLY. BE GRATEFUL FOR ALL YOU HAVE. THAT YOU CAN WAKE UP EACH MORNING. THE FRESH AIR YOU HAVE. THE ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD. FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT YOU DO HAVE. THE LAST THING HE TALKED ABOUT WAS MARRIAGE. HOW THE WORLD IS GETTING MORE AND MORE CORRUPT. HOW WE NEED TO MARRY EARILIER. MISSIONAIRES ARE WAITING TO LONG AND FALLING OFF THE PATH. DONT WAIT, DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE MONEY, A GOOD JOB, FINISH SCHOOL, THOSE ARE THINGS THE HF WANTS YOU TO DO TOGETHER. AS A MARRIED COUPLE. TO MANY YOUNG MEN ARE COMING HOME AND NOT GETTING MARRIED. SATAN IS CORRUPTING THEM. HE SAID THOSE THAT AND DATING AND HAVE BEEN HOME FOR MORE THAT A COUPLE YEARS NEED TO FIGURE THEIR LIVES OUT AND FIGURE IT OUT FAST. " THATS ALL FROM HIM. SO GOOD.
A LESSON I GAVE THIS WEEK. I WILL GIVE TO ALL YOU AS WELL.
ROMANS 3:23 WE ALL SIN AND COME SHORT OF THE FLORY OF GOD
IT IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST ACKNOWLEDGING WRONG DOINGS, IT IS A CHANGE OF MIND AND HEART THAT GIVES US A FRESH VIEW ABOUT GOD ABOUT OURSELVES AND ABOUT THE WORLD. IT IS TURNING AWAY FROM SIN AND TURNING TO GOD FOR FORGIVNESS. IT IS TO HAVE A SINCERE DESIRE TO OBEY AND FOLLOW HIS COMMANDMENTS.
iS THERE A POINT OF NO RETURN?
I FEEL AS I LOOK AT FRIENDS AND FAMILY SOMETIMES I FEEL AS IF THEY THINK THAT THEY HAVE SINNED SO MUCH THAT THERE IS NO RETURN. THERE IS NO HOPE. THERE IS NO TURNING BACK.
SATAN THE FATHER OF LIES ( 2 NEPHI 2:18 ) THE ENEMY TO GOD ( MORONI 7:12 ) THE FATHER OF CONTENTION ( 3 NEPHI 11:29 ) THE AUTHOR OF ALL SINS ( HELEMAN 6:30 ) USES THE FORCES FO EVIL TO CONVINCE US THAT THIS CONCEPT APPLIES WHENEVER WE SIN BIG OR LITTLE. THE SCRIPTURES CALL HIM TTHE ACCUSER BECAUSE HE WANTS US TO FEEL THAT WE ARE BEYOND FORGIVNESS. HE WANTS US TO THINK THAT WHEN WE HAVEE SINNED WE HAVE GONE PATH THE POINT OF NO RETURN" THAT ITS TO LATE TO CHANGE OUR COURSE.
BUT THATS IS WRONG! THE BEST PART OF THIS IS THE ATONEMENT OF JESUS CHRIST. THE ATONEMENT IS A MESSAGE OF LOVE HOPE AND MERCY THAT THERE IS A RECONCILATION OF MAN WITH GOD. IT IS A WAY TO CORRECT AND OVER COME THE CONSQUENCES OF SIN. GOD LOVES ALL OF US HE WILL NEEVER CEASE TO LOVE US. FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEM THE WORLD BUT THAT THE WORLD MIGHT BE SAVED.
CHRIST CAME TO SAVE US. IF WE HAVE TAKEN A WRONG COURSE OR MADE A SIN, THE ATONEMENT OF CHRIST CAN GIVE US THAT ASSURANCE THAT SIN IS NOT A POINT OF NO RETURN. A SAFE RETURN IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE IF WE WILL FOLLOW GOS PLAN FOR OUR SALVATION.
IT IS NOT REPENTAVE THAT SAVES MAN. IT IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST THAT SAVES US. IT IS NOT BY OUR SINCERE AND HONEST CHANGE OF BEHAVIOR ALONE THAT WE ARE SAVED BUT BY THE GRACE THAT WE SAVED AFTER ALL WE CAN DO ( 2 NEPHI 25:23 ) TRUE REPENTACE HOWEVER IS THE CONDITION REQUIRED SO THAT GODS FORGIVENESS CAN COME INTO OUR LIVES
DNC 58:42
SATAN WILL TRY TO MAKE US BELIEVE THAT OUR SINS ARE NOT FORGIVEN BECAUSE WE CAN REMEMBER THEM. SATAN IS A LIAR HE TRIES TO BLUR OUR VISION AND LEAD US AWAY FROM THE PATH. GOD DID NOT PROMISE US THAT WE WOULD NOT REMEMBER OUR SINS. REMEMBERING HELPS US TO AVOID MAKING THOSE MISTAKES AGAIN. BUT IF YOU STAY TRUE AND FAITHFUL AND REPENT SINCERELY OVER TIME THOSE MEMORIES WILL ME SOFTENED. ALMA 36:17-19
WEEKLY SCRIPTURE. D&C 29:6
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH, HOPE SUMMER IS GREAT AND YOU ARE ALL SAFE. HAPPY PIONEER DAY! LOVE YOU
