This is Come Follow Me for us, a weekly podcast where we feast on the words of Christ and have fun doing it.

I'm your host, Melanie Straub.

This is Doctrine in Covenants 46 through 48, Seeky earnestly, the best gifts.

The intro says, as Parley P. Pratt, Oliver Cowdery, Ziva Peterson, and Peter Whitmer, Jr. left

Kirtland and moved on to other fields of labor. They left over 100 converts who had plenty of zeal,

but little experience or direction. There were no instructional handbooks, no leadership training,

meetings, no broadcasts of general conference. In fact, they weren't even,

there weren't very many copies of the Book of Mormon to go around. Many of these new believers

have been drawn to the restored gospel by the promise of marvelous manifestations of the spirit,

especially those they knew about from studying the New Testament. Soon, some unusual expressions of worship, including falling

to the ground and writhing like a snake, were introduced into their church meetings. Many found it

hard to discern which manifestations were of the spirit and which were not. Seeing the confusion,

Joseph Smith prayed for help. The Lord's answer is equally valuable today when people often reject

or ignore the things of the spirit. The Lord revealed that spiritual manifestations are real and

clarified what they are. Gifts from a loving heavenly father given for the benefit of those who

love him and keep all his commandments.

So the first section talks about church and what it's supposed to look like because this is exactly like it explained.

We have a brand new church and people don't know what to do.

They've been in churches where people roll around on the floor.

They see visions.

People bring a snake into church.

Hey, how about this?
