Moses knows

to give a reference, my mind was busy trying to solve the issue of "I knowwhat must happen" and I am willing to do it, but I do not know how. Well, I realized, before that it is all a matter of timing...

Ok, I woke up and instantly saw the books on my night stand and thought, "I need to read and return those, it has been a year, so neglecting them has become habitual, but remember how excited I was to get them?" Instantly, my heart was filling up with blood, ha ha ha, no, gratitude, I am referring to my feelings, which I call my heart. Ok, so I just gave a lesson on choosing appropriate media, or rather my daughter did and I was her back up support, so I decided to turn to some appropriate influence cause if I filled my thoughts with something, then I could stop fretting about my condition.

The movie that I turned on was called something like A warning To America. It is a documentary series called Nephite Explorer. This particular episode was starting with the premise that the United States is a promised land, and it cited that even Abraham Lincoln prayed when amidst the civil war and had checked out the Book of Mormon from library of Congress. He fully believed that this war torn land was a land of promise...which ironically was the exact thing the book I intended to read today was about called The Lincoln Hypothesis.

But, wait, the blog title was "Moses knows" was that misrepresentation? Goodness, no. The documentary began it's investigation in the well-documented "Promised Land" of Israel, also started by a man named Abraham... Yep, Israel.

So, I instantly clung to the part where the narrator explained that the promised land became a real nation at the time of Moses, who knew that his people would go to a land, but he did not know when, ooops, yes he did, but it was not to happen in his lifetime and he prepared Joshua accordingly cause he still knew it would happen., likecrossing the red sea, it might seem extremely hard to impossible to man, and understandable that it would not be accomplished, but Moses knew that it would, and it did. I needed to hear that this morning! How did Moses know? He was a prophet and spoke face to face with God, so, if God told him that it would happen, it would!

Stake conference - Sunday

For the strength of the youth cited again. It must be extremely significant.

This booklet is likened to a high jump bar.

Feel closer to God through service.

Simple acts are brst forms of service, and by seeving in the home is significant.

When we serve we become more like Christ.

Somple thing that are found withon the pamphlet "for the Strength of the Yoith"

God is pouring out the secrets of the universe in the temple in answer to our inquiry.

Reading Moses 2 - 5 to understand the temple in preparation to attend.

Mos 23:21 & dc 12:7 through 9

Reminds me of Lena's talk about how she
Followed the prophet in having enough food storage. That was not the talk I had prepared for her, but I attended her program and she gave a great talk about how she was blessedalthough her father had no job, because they had stored enough.

This woman was able to endure a divorce and various situations becausr she KNEW where she was and what she was doing through revelation.

"I love you, but I love God more."

Scriptures teach that Jesus is the Christ.

Heavenly Father seeks to bless us with the temporal things we need.

Dignity comes from working to provide the things we need.

Book of Mormon is the heal all of all things, just read it,.

Parts of ogden and parts of Salt Lake. The Calls will be Mission president, from Washington.

There is usually a dip of baptisms when mission presidency changes.

Early speakers, it was noted that they were well-prepared. I was just thinking that exact same things.

Self-reliance is so important as a part of ministering.

Missionary WORK, eh let's call ot something fun, like Missionary Activity.

Each of us here has been a recipient of missionary activity.

When we minister, we do not ask what they need, prode or whst no will cause them to glaze things over as ok, bit onstead gather infomation.

"Mormons are likely the only ones who love by assignment."

We can cause the answer to someone else's prayers on ministering to those around us.

"Need more Jesus in my life."

There was a path, that a flock of sheep waited patiently for their turn.

Independence us good, but we must follow and know God this is like the sheep safely on path.

Gather to the temple, sogn of second coming.

Members need to be prepared for the temple.

Where can we find christ? Mary & Joseph tell us where he is found: fpund in the temple, hearing and answering questions.

He was 12 and that is the age when we can go to the temple.

Everything orth kniwing is taught in the temple. Temple is a house of learning.

Children need to learn family history in an interesting way.

Our example of attending the temple teaches our children where they need to be safe.

Temple recommend questions are spiritual seperators, like seperating sheep from goats.

Holding a reccommend is a priviledge, and sometimes we are not truly spiritually prepared to deserve such.

A person may not yet be converted even though they are a regularly attending baptized member of the church.

Make a home an extension of the temple.

You will find an incomparable peace in the temple.

Temple lead BoM people to live after the "manner of Happiness"

Covenant keepers are commandment keepers and are happy.

God will bless and heal us in details of our life.

Increased revelation as a redult of temple attendance.

Jesus was in the temple. But no one laid hold on him there.

Where Christ is the adversary cannot be.

We see that in First Vision.

God will fight our battles.

Now let us rejoice is quoted and "Christ and his people will ever be one."

Stake conference

Symbolism of thin blue line.

Law enforcers are often called things like "dead inside" which is contrary to the dutu that ought to be filled by members of yhe church of Jesus Christ.

It requires stretching of oneself.

Section 20 of d&c commands us to invite other, which feel as uncomfortable as an awkward teen asking someone on a date.

Trust ourselves a little less and the Lord a bit more.

Every person, EVERYONE is a child of God.

Like taking a first step, likely to take a long time, but will be worth it when it happens.

Testimony is an anchor to my soul.

Temple will bring alot of Missionary opportunities.

There will be a mission in Layton, UT!

We, each of us, must do more. Mostly by inviting others into our homes...

It is like the comment made about recalling what we did in our youth enabled us to accomplish great things today. It is because of all the good we have done that we can help spread the gospel to others.

We set a date and time and then inform the missionaries, not ask them first. We will be blessed, and if events take place to ready them to learn more you at a later date. We will have been successful, even if you are rejected.

Missionary work brings people to the church, but temple work keeps them there.

We do not have a preconcieved notion of what we are going to be doing, but it includes ministering, attendung to the wants and needs of others. Reminds me of Moses when he was leading the children of Israel out of Egypt.

A ward is successful when it does the duty of bringing others closer to God and they feel love.

Ministering is not done by "tossing verbal thunderbolts."

All that is good, invites to do good. Simple enough, so never teach without inviting to come closer to Christ.

To be a light to the world we need to improve do we have more light and need to minister to others. By others, it should not just be friends, family and church members.

When we ask for specific information or things, those things happen.

We absolutely NEED revelation to know what is true.

This harkens back to the previous comment about setting the date for the lesson.

Good information influences how good the revelatiom is. Like how he interviewed each brother although he had to pray and ponder them to know through revelation.

I feel like if I wish for the gospel to be shared and someone is ministered to...although, I cannot be there, I can do exactly that for someone else. I need to be Brave!! and minister as if I sm helping the one I pray for, I am almost sure someone is praying for the sisters I am ministering to.

When acting rarely does it only involve one person, so all must independently get the same revelation.

Love may be needed to be tested for more information to be revealed, this reminds me of a demonstration in the temple of a prayer circle, the spirit cannot be allowed to participate in our prayers unless we love one another.

"Lord, I WOULD follow you..." we all want to help but, knowing where makes different.

When prompted, 90% of the time it will be from the Lord. So, we need to act on these ideas 100% of the time. Until, we will "grow into being a person of revelation."

I love how he used it as a selling point to propose to his wife that he understood revelation.

If we obey one prompting, we will recieve more promptings.

Praying together increases our feeling we obtain the power of God.  This is dofficult to impossible in marriage and raising children. We NEED to be good a revelation to raise children.

It seems a Pattern We hear over and over so it must be significant.

1)be worthy, and the best we can be
2)ask for SPECIFIC want and need
3)a crisis is not the time to learn about revelation.

To know in my head is not to know in my heart, the sister reads and learns in her head, but when she shares her testimony she then knows it in her heart.

"Microphone makes me cry."

Put exclamation marks behind things instead of a question mark. You know them not doubt them.

Sometimes, it can be extremely difficult to just stand still. Seriously!

If we wait to be told things, then we are missing the opportunity...3 nep 17 & 18

Ponder the things that are revealed.

******Ministering needs to be done in the home!*******

Brain dump

Fireside broadcast this evening.

Mind messes with us, like imagining scary things when we feel unprotected, satan uses that to discourage us and we start to think that we do not measure up.

Read scriptures with family daily. It is important and will bring the spirit as needed...definitely have a testimony opportunity in class on fast Sundays.

Last day of school, and bore testimony that we can love someone that we do not see anymore, the tears are similar.
