SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Jacob 4:13 |
|
Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth, let him prophesy to the understanding of men; for the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not. Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are, and of things as they really will be; wherefore, these things are manifested unto us plainly, for the salvation of our souls. But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things; for God also spake them unto prophets of old.

QUOTE OF THE DAY Russell M. Nelson |
|
“Now, for the fifth truth: You may know for yourself what is true and what is not by learning to discern the whisperings of the Spirit. . . . My dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to seek earnestly a confirmation from the Spirit that what I have told you is true and is from the Lord. He has declared that we may seek knowledge from heaven and expect to receive it: ‘If thou shalt ask,’ the Lord promised, ‘thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge.’ “Ask your Heavenly Father if we truly are the Lord’s apostles and prophets. Ask if we have received revelation on this and other matters. Ask if these five truths are, in fact, true. “Now, in my capacity as president of the Church, I invoke a blessing upon you to be able to discern between right and wrong, between the laws of God and the conflicting voices of the world. I bless you with power to detect the adversary’s deceptions. I bless you with greater capacity to receive revelation. And I bless you to be able to feel the infinite reach of God’s perfect love for you” (“The Love and Laws of God,” BYU Devotional, September 17, 2019).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY April 3, 2021 |
|
1836 - After a Sabbath meeting in the Kirtland Temple, the Prophet Joseph and Oliver Cowdery knelt in prayer around the pulpit surrounded by veils. After the prayer, they received the vision of Moses, Elias, Elijah, and Jesus Christ, that is recorded in Section 110 of the Doctrine and Covenants, restoring Priesthood keys back to the earth.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12)
The prophet Nephi began his record with the explanation that in the days of Zedekiah, prophets came to warn the people that “they must repent, or the great city Jerusalem must be destroyed” (1 Nephi 1:4). Lehi, being concerned for his family, went to the Lord in prayer for confirmation of the teachings of the prophets. The result of his earnest prayer was that he received a vision, that in time and after persecution and additional visions, led him to leave Jerusalem for a new land. Nephi, desiring to know for himself, went to the Lord and received the promise that “inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and be led to a land of promise” (1 Nephi 2:20).
