Anchorage mossion, topic was obedience.
Exact obedience brings miracles. Even though it seems that you are exactly obedient and seems like nothing is happening, it is happening exactly how is best and we just need to trust even if we do not see it.
Obeying builds an armor around you as one of the blessings that follows.
Spirit is so strong and can be felt in contrast to places where people are obedience.
Chapter 6 from preach my Gospel.
Obedience is an attribute of Christ.
Expected to keep the commandments willingly, it is an act of faith, we choose to obey. To show our love.
Our choices allow us Freedom.
Most important goal of leadership is to do whatever they can to allow us opportunities that lead to love.
Obedience just happens by doing it.
Repentance allows us to course correct, and hopefully we mighy always choose the path less traveled.
We say doctrine and covenants, not d&c.
Covenants are not equal partenered promise. God fixes terms and man accepts. No negotiations.
Covenant is something to do with God.
Obedience bring blessings, exact obedience brings miracles.
Covenants often called testament.
Old testament it was harder to know what was true because not as much record or dealings of men with God.
6 But blessed are they who have kept the covenant and observed the commandment, for they shall obtain mercy.
But, if you break a promise with God it would be better to be drown in the sea...with Christ we can represent.
Even those who seem to not have children, and are under the covenant... they actually have more children, but EVERLASTING, and our covenants exist all is now. So children are there as surely as we can cannot percieve.
Because you know a thing but do not do it, it is a sin.
Make covenant makes us worthy of the repentance.
101 powerful promises. Good book to read.
Japan earthquakes, we need to be mindful of other, we are all brother's and sisters.
The gospel has not changed, but the tools have, handbooks vs. ipad
Lord removed political barriers so that the gospel can go forth.
Do not look at people differently, but show an equal love to all.
The entire world is of one family. So, what do we owe to our brothers and sisters. Share what we have with them.
Do not belittle what you know, but sharing with respect adds to what we have, the same is true with the peace we can give to others through our words.
When others share the gospel it brings peace. Likewise when we invite others to teach in our home it will bring a spirit of peace.
If we can get rid of the guilt, shouldn't we allow others to geel the same thing?
Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble.
It is important to know the true Christ.
There is a great opportunity with the refugees to share our culture and definately our beliefs.
Instantly, I think of Thomas S. Monson and how he served the imigrant family.
It needs to start with Love. The story of Sister Marriott and feeling like she belonged when she arrived at "Aunt Niel's" family.
Blessings from sharing the gospel:
in 6th grade overheard others excitedly talking about a pat blessing.
Obstacles can keep us from sharing the gospel can and need to be overcome.
The field is white because of the things that have been already done by saints.
