Unshaken Saints

What does it truly mean to be "enrolled with the people of God"? And what happens when the world around us descends into chaos? D&C 85-87 delivers stunning prophecies and profound counsel for our challenging times. Tune in to discover critical insights that will strengthen your resolve! Summary: In this powerful Unshaken"episode, we dive deep into Doctrine and Covenants Sections 85, 86, and 87. We begin by confronting the serious implications of "name removal" from Church records, contrasting it with casual cancellations and exploring why keeping a "history, and a general church record of all things that transpire in Zion" is crucial. Next, we examine the warning against "steadying the ark of God" and uncover who "one mighty and strong" truly is—the only one authorized to "set in order the house of God." Then, we unravel the beautiful and complex "Parable of the Wheat and Tares," understanding why the Lord commands us to "pluck not up the tares while the blade is yet tender" and how "tares can change into wheat." We also discuss the blessing of being "hid from the world with Christ in God" through our priesthood lineage. Finally, we analyze the chilling prophecies of "wars that will shortly come to pass, beginning at the rebellion of South Carolina" and how "war will be poured out upon all nations," leading to "a full end of all nations." Amidst this global turmoil, we find solace and direction in the commandment to "stand ye in holy places, and be not moved," emphasizing the importance of seeking refuge and peace in Christ. This video will offer vital perspectives for navigating an increasingly complex world. Call-to-Action: How do these prophecies and counsels resonate with you today?

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.

Have you ever felt called to serve, wondered about true forgiveness, or questioned how God provides for His people? This video unlocks divine principles from Doctrine & Covenants Sections 81-83! Summary: In this comprehensive lesson, we delve into three powerful revelations that lay foundational principles for God's organized kingdom. First, in D&C 81, we explore the sacred calling of a counselor, using the example of Frederick G. Williams. Learn that being a counselor is a divine assignment to listen, give your best advice, and faithfully support chosen leadership. It's a unique blend of leading through counsel and following with diligence, a testament to God's acknowledgment of humble service. Next, D&C 82 unveils profound truths about forgiveness and the Lord's Storehouse. Discover that God, who forgives our sins, also expects us to "refrain from sin" to prevent past transgressions from returning. We then examine the principle of "much is given, much is required", leading into the radical concept of the Lord's Storehouse—a divine economic system designed to eliminate poverty and promote equality among God's people. This isn't just about material goods, but a consecration of all our gifts and talents for the common good. Through this covenant, God declares, "I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say". Finally, D&C 83 addresses the compassionate care for vulnerable members of society—women, children, widows, and orphans. This revelation emphasizes the Church's and individual responsibility to provide for the needy, ensuring that no one is left destitute within God's expanding Zion. This video offers practical guidance on living a consecrated life, extending forgiveness, building unity, and actively participating in God's ongoing work to care for all His children and establish Zion.

Have you ever felt lost trying to understand the Book of Revelation? Or wondered how God guides us, step by step, even when we feel like "little children"? This video reveals profound answers from Doctrine & Covenants 77-80! Summary: This comprehensive lesson unpacks the rich teachings of Doctrine & Covenants 77-80, offering insights into God's methods of revelation, personal development, and church organization. We begin by tackling the symbolic language of the Book of Revelation (D&C 77), exploring the meaning behind the "sea of glass," "four beasts," and the significance of "eyes" (knowledge) and "wings" (agency). Discover the purpose of the seven seals and the identity of the angels, including Elias, who gathers Israel and places the "seal of the living God" upon the foreheads of the faithful. Next, we delve into the practicalities of building Zion (D&C 78) through the establishment of the United Firm (later the United Order). Learn how this organization regulates the "storehouse for the poor," fosters "equality in the bonds of heavenly things," and prepares God's people to "stand independent" amidst tribulation. This section emphasizes the crucial role of commandments, councils, and unbreakable covenants in achieving unity and protecting against spiritual blindness. We then focus on personal growth (D&C 78), understanding that while we may often feel like "little children," God patiently leads us along, knowing we "cannot bear all things now". This highlights the importance of receiving all things with thankfulness and becoming "faithful and wise stewards". Finally, we explore the sacred nature of mission calls (D&C 79-80). Whether serving abroad or at home, we are assured that "it mattereth not, for ye cannot go amiss" as we declare the things we have heard, believe, and know to be true. This process of gaining testimony, coupled with the companionship of the Holy Ghost, empowers us to fulfill our divine assignments.

What if everything you thought you knew about heaven, salvation, and Christ's power was just the beginning? Get ready to have your understanding expanded. Summary: In this deep dive into Doctrine & Covenants 76, "The Vision," we explore an expansive understanding of Jesus Christ and His infinite reach. Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon experienced visions that revealed Christ's ability to do "exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think," showing His wisdom, marvelous ways, and the unimaginable extent of His work of salvation. We begin by examining how we often underestimate the Savior, discovering that "beside him there is no Savior," yet His mercy and grace extend to bring everyone home except the sons of perdition. The video then unpacks the concept of "The Cosmic Christ," where Joseph and Sidney beheld the glory of the Son, witnessing that by Him, "the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God." Next, we confront the sobering reality of "Perdition and His Sons," understanding the profound loss associated with Lucifer and the specific conditions that lead to becoming a son of perdition. This segment surprisingly reveals God's near-universal plan of salvation, emphasizing that "all the rest shall be brought forth by the resurrection of the dead." Finally, we journey through the three degrees of glory—Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial—receiving a breathtaking glimpse into what "heaven" truly looks like, even surpassing all understanding for the Telestial Kingdom. We'll also touch on the profound spiritual experiences that cannot be written but must be "seen and understood by the power of the Holy Spirit." Prepare to enlarge your vision of God's love, justice, and the boundless power of Christ to redeem. 0:00 Introduction and Overview 6:10 Never Underestimate Christ 16:50 The Cosmic Christ 36:28 Perdition and His Sons 52:19 Celestial Glory 1:05:23 Terrestrial Glory 1:13:13 Telestial Glory 1:29:34 What We Can and Cannot Write 1:42:34 One-Liners

In this special Christmas episode, we ponder the many names and titles given to Jesus throughout the scriptural lyrics of Handel's Messiah.
