Summary

Have you ever truly grasped the immense power and sacred promises embedded within the Priesthood? This video unlocks the profound truths of Doctrine & Covenants 84! Summary: In this powerful exploration, we delve into D&C 84, a foundational revelation given to elders returning from their missions, revealing the grand scope of the Restoration. It's not just about restoring the Gospel, Priesthood, or Church, but ultimately about the restoration of God's people to a right relationship with Him. This process is intrinsically linked to the gathering of Saints to Zion and the building of Temples, where God's glory can fill His house. The video dissects the dual nature of the Priesthood: the Lesser (Aaronic) Priesthood, which prepares us through the preparatory gospel and baptism of repentance, and the Greater (Melchizedek) Priesthood, which holds the "key of the knowledge of God" and the power to manifest "the power of godliness". It's within the temple that this power of godliness is most fully made manifest, making ordinances effective for our salvation. A central theme is the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood, emphasizing the sacred promises made by both God and man. Discover God's unbreakable oath to bless those who worthily receive the Priesthood, promising them sanctification, renewed bodies, and becoming heirs of "all that my Father hath". In return, man's covenant involves receiving the Priesthood, magnifying callings, hearkening to words of eternal life, and living by every word of God. The video also warns against treating God's word lightly, which can lead to spiritual darkness and bondage, but offers the powerful remedy of repentance and remembering the new covenant. Ultimately, living these principles makes us friends of Christ and enables signs to follow believers, confirming the transformative power of the Priesthood in preparing us for celestial glory. Call-to-Action: How has the Priesthood blessed your life and helped restore you to God? What part of the Oath and Covenant inspires you most? Share your insights in the comments below!

Hello everybody and welcome back. I have been waiting for you. In fact, I've been waiting for this week's material.

0:06.9

Section 84 of the Doctor in Covenants is one of my all-time favorites. There is so much here.

0:12.3

It was not hard to come up with seven different topics to cover this week's study. In some ways, it was hard to limit it to seven.

0:19.8

There's, there's, it's, it's, this is a

0:22.1

revelation that goes all over the place in incredible, incredible ways. It has one of my favorite

0:27.8

passages for those who have loved ones that are struggling in their faith. And it just feels like

0:33.0

every time I try to share the gospel with them or, or invite them to come back to church,

0:37.2

they put the dukes up, there's a passage in this week's material that's incredible.

0:41.3

Part of what we did last year in the Book of Mormon grows out of what we see this week in Section 84 as well.

0:49.3

There is a beautiful song of songs that we'll get to sing at the end. Don't worry, I won't sing

0:54.6

literally, but we'll study this song at the end of Section 84. It's one of the three big

1:01.2

priested sections. Section 20, which is basically the constitution of the church, section 84,

1:07.3

this week's material, and then later when we get to section 107, those three, if you ever

1:12.2

want to really dig into an understanding of the priesthood in these last days, those are the three

1:17.3

to go to.

1:19.4

Now, one of the interesting things about this one, though, is the context that it first arises

1:24.2

from.

1:25.0

I don't know if you remember, any of you who served a mission, do you remember

1:27.8

coming home and reporting to the High Council? Interesting moment, there you are with the

1:33.2

state presidency, the High Council, and they just get to ask you about your mission, and you get

1:37.3

to just glow in front of them, just talk about the incredible experiences you've had. Well,
