My Revelation!

-We are asked to become like our Savior; in so doing we need to repent, be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost in our lives and accept His help. This is what truly converts us to the gospel of Jesus Christ and brings us closer to Him in all things. -Because everyone was living the way they were asked they had a peace in the land and were able to feel "the love of God" (4 Nephi 1:15 in their lives. It also says about the people that "there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God." (4 Nephi 1:16) - a cross reference I love 2 Nephi 9: 39 The First Presidency "Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities." ("The Family: A Proclamation to the ...

-The Three Nephites have a great desire to stay on earth and bring God's children unto Him. What a righteous desire. What are my desires? Are they righteous? Are they in line with God's plan? "I have inquired of the Lord," (3 Nephi 28:37) - Even a Prophet of God asks our Heavenly Father for guidance and direction about things that trouble Him 3 Nephi 29:1, God will fulfill His promises, in His own time but He will fulfill them. -We are invited to turn away from evil ways and to follow our Saviors example. We have been blessed with text and amazing righteous leaders that guide us and direct us to how to change our lives and if we deny this blessing and the many other blessings we have been given it will allow us to recognize and receive more along the way. Blessing- Go camping with the family.

-Christ came down to earth and lived His life to show us exactly how to return to God and what we needed to do on this earth. Why do we make it so hard by not following His teachings or by not doing what we are asked? There is a plan there was a plan before we came down all we have to do is follow it. Think of this; putting a dresser together if you just start putting pieces together that look like they go together but you've never done it before it probably won't turn our right, the drawers won't fit, it will be crooked something will happen. But if we follow the plan already set out for us then we will have a nice upright functioning dresser. "...whatsoever things ye shall ask the Father in my name shall be given unto you." (3 Nephi 27:28) - This is a great promise that I have seen come true many times in my life. But often times I get frustrated because this also says between the lines that it will happen in God's timing and I don't understand that...

- Christ was sent solely to atone for our sins and to and to "draw all men unto"  himself. How can we allow His sacrifice to not be in vain and to allow ourselves to change and become more like our Savior by following His example? What should we be working on because we want to be like him? (3 Nephi 37:19) " No unclean thing can enter into his kingdom ; therefore nothing entereth into his rest save it be those who have washed their garments in my blood, because of their faith, and the repentance of all their sins , and their faithfulness unto the end." -There is a lot in this scripture that we are asked to do. First of all, we are given the sacrament in order to clean ourselves, renew our covenants and become united again with Christ and with the plan . No unclean can live with God again so we can't just be okay with our sins or our way of life we must repent and become a changed person. We are asked to wash our garments with blood; this is interesting be...

- Christ says to take His name and to also remember Him. How hard of a task is that really? We must also take it in respect and use it in respect. Name - Reputation; character; that which is commonly said of a person; as a good name; a bad name. - We are given the gospel of Jesus Christ in this day. We don't even have to work for it or to sacrifice our lives for the gospel like the people did in 1800's with the Prophet Joseph Smith so we should be more willing to sacrifice the little things we are asked to. - It's amazing to me how much more willing people are to believe in things like the rapture or even things from history that we don't have anything but writings about and yet they don't believe in our Savior Jesus Christ who died for them and suffered that they don't have to if they would believe and repent. What it's like the scripture in Helaman 8 tat is talking about the people who were asked to look at the "brazen serpent" and yet were...

-We are given scriptures to expand our understanding and knowledge. If we read them it is promised that "then shall the greater things be made manifest unto them." (3 Nephi 26:9)  So as we do the things we are asked to do we will be blessed with more knowledge and wisdom from our Father in Heaven. -3 Nephi 26:10; if we don't believe the things that are revealed unto us and do the things we are asked why do we think or believe that we will believe or do things that are greater? -God will reveal to us great and marvelous things if we are ready and if we pray ernistly to have a better understanding and desire to know His will. 3 Nephi 27:1 "the disciples were gathered together and were united in mighty prayer and fasting." -Can you imagine the miracles that could take place if we were united as a church, fasted and prayed more often and did as we were asked by our leaders? I love the phrase mighty prayer, it wasn't a casual ask for things thank God for ...

- Heavenly Father has asked us to pay 10% to Him for all He gives to us. Is it hard? More importantly is it worth it. both of those answers are YES!! Who can give us more than God? Who else will do exactly as they promise? 3 Ne 24:10 prove me now herewith...if I will not open you the windows of heaven Gordon B. Hinckley said, "That is a wonderful promise. There is no other promise in all the world like that one in terms of the temporal salvation of the people of this Church, my brethren and sisters. I did not make it. The Lord made it and He has the power to keep His promises. It is my testimony to you that He does so. Let us live honestly with the Lord for the remainder of our lives and I do not hesitate to say that we will so be blessed." (Church News, 01/03/98) -What an amazing quote. God cannot lie so to do as he asks will bring great blessings. Let's be honest God doesn't need our money or anything we have but he wants our heart and willingness to do as He...
