Anything I go through in mortality pales in comparison to everything Christ has gone through.
Cowardice is predicated by fear. Fear is the opposite of faith…I am already in the battle. Face it with valor head on, boldly, nobly, and valiantly. Valiance in the testimony of Christ secures eternity. As the battle engages, ride the horse towards the sound.
Knowledge saves me, it is dynamic and unfolds further as I ponder upon the things God reveals to me.
Joseph equates repentance and redemption with what I do with my heart and mind.
Time, distance, and reflection allow me to put into words the truth of my experiences.
It is labor, over the scriptures and contemplating, for my desire to know and meet God.
Ask God, and He will give liberally and answer any question I have.
The Spirit will lean upon me and focus my mind upon revelation as I use the scriptures like a Urim and Thummim.
Prayer, scripture study, laboring to know God and revelation go hand in hand.
Salvation consists in knowledge. I can’t afford to have my mind cluttered with the things of the world and give the adversary ammunition to use against me.
The only thing that matters in this world, is the will of the Lord for me.
When God cleanses and purifies me, I can then go out and serve Him fully.
The things of my heart matter. The plan of salvation is a plan of education; in order for God to reveal Himself I must:
-repent of absence of the knowledge of God
-receive the power of godliness
It all begins with being of one heart and one mind. Live in love. Be Charity.
The power of godliness is related to the presence of God.
The ascent to God - is the Fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
My entire life I am only focusing on one thing at a time. “Let virtue garnish my thoughts unceasingly."
“I advise all to go on to perfection and search deeper and deeper into the mysteries of godliness."
I should trust the gifts that God has given me.
Asking that I may “know the mysteries of God” is a commandment found in scripture.
To “know the Lord” is to have a covenant with Him.
I must stay within the bounds of the specific assignment given to me, at that time, by God.
The pure in heart, wise, noble, and virtuous seek counsel, authority, and blessings from under the hand of a righteous servant of the Lord.
A servant of the Lord and his credibility is validated by the message he bears.
My preparation for my mission may take time. Christ prepared 30 years for a 3 year ministry.
By asking God, I set in motion assistance from heaven to resolve what needs correcting in my life.
The answer to any question from God is yes, however, if I am not ready, then I will go through a period of renovation and repair. How long I need to be renovated and repaired will depend on how much of the telestial world I have entertained, and continue to entertain, as the Lord works to resolve my inquiry and request.
Everything I take in which opposes the ability of God to speak to me will hinder Him from answering me.
I must provide a clean, undefiled vessel for Him to come to.
Symbols, like temple clothing and the armor of God, communicate ideas to the mind which are eternal.
Stand where God places me and don’t allow any person to move me from where God would have me to be.
The foundation of Zion consists of reconnecting the children, as a consequence of the promises made to the fathers, back again to the fathers.
Forget about titles; Do the work, finish the course, fulfill the covenant. Until then, it’s just vanity and pretense.
Knowledge typifies life during the millennium. Those living during the millennium will be “full of the knowledge of the Lord."
I must connect to Jesus Christ, the true vine. Unless done, I cannot bear true fruit.
This is my dispensation and my responsibility. The complete restoration will only occur once enough people awake and arise and do what is necessary to fulfill the promises and covenants made to the fathers.
