WOW!! Excellent, powerful, and needed!! We need more sermons like this from the pulpit. I've loved every book and talk from Brother Muhlestein; such a knowledgeable,wise and gifted teacher. Consecration is the thing we need to grow into more each day - in thought, in word, in action. Thank you!!! I'm passing thus one on to loved ones!
“Your appetite for vomit far outweighs your appetite for the pure waters of life” is definitely an inspired warning.
Interesting that he is teaching from Isaiah.
Kerry, I just sent this message to my missionary son!: (thanks for your message)
I learned about consecrating to the Lord. I decided to consecrate my travel time to him and to give away a Book of Mormon on my trip to Utah on Wednesday. Unfortunately, I forgot to grab one.
I took an Uber to the airport. I don’t like talking to the driver but I did as part of this consecration. He asked about my family and I mentioned my son was serving a mission in Brazil for our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Turns out he had done some scouting as a youth with his neighbors at the church growing up. In short,
I was able to invite him to the SD temple open house once it happens and since he drives a lot, I shared the Book of Mormon app with him!
While I didn’t get to listen to my audio book!, it was an enjoyable ride to the airport! 🙏
We will be driving with our children for several hours tomorrow - we plan to share this with them. Thank you for such clear teachings.
This talk is an answer to my prayers ❤. I’m so grateful for this talk and it’s deeply truthful explicit instructions 🇬🇸🌈 Johanna
Can I ask why the rainbow?
Thank you. A very timely message that spoke to my heart.
I want to say this is my favorite devotional talk ever. It is at least tied with my top favorite. I have heard so many wonderful devotionals from this pulpit. Thank you so much for making them accessible to all of us who don't attend Ensign College.
This week I’m going to go directly to the Come Follow Me Commentaries on CZcams and not get sidetracked on all the other CZcams offerings that sometimes take up all my time.
Starting right now! Thank you Brother Muhlestein for a wonderful talk
Don't let the Come Follow Me podcasts keep you from studying the scriptures themselves.
@@pythonista466 I don't know about any body but I listen while I'm folding the laundry and cleaning the bathrooms. It makes all those little things so much more enjoyable. The time where I sit in a seat and read the scriptures is completely a different topic.
“Covenants are about lovingly relationships in which we are bound to God.” Thank you Brother Muhlestein.
This answered my prayers this evening. I am so blessed to have found this! ❤️
I glory in the plainness of your inspired words again and again brother Muhlestein. You open my spiritual eyes. Thank you for being a light on the hill in calling us to repentance from our slipping into secular blindness.
What a profound idea, to consecrate what we do with our time, our thoughts, to the Lord. Likewise, that Covenants and Ordinances, are about creating relationships, relationships between God and us, individually. Rather than meaningless ritual, Ordinances reveal the power of God to create a personal relationship with me. Somehow I knew this but it never became obvious until Brother Muhlestein pointed this out. Wow. Thank you.
WOW! Thank you so much Brother Muhlestein for sharing your scriptural and spiritual understanding and enlightening our minds so that we can turn to God in covenant relationship.
Excellent and much needed talk!!
What a great message and so needed today!!
This is very profoundly presented.
Whoa. That hit me. I struggle to truly study my scriptures over even watching gospel-centered youtuve channels or other mind-numbing shorts of entertainment. Ok. That hit hard. Made me grateful than on my drive around town that I chose to listen. ❤
I loved this, thank you! I feel like the Ensign devotionals have been on an entirely new level, they are fast becoming one of my favorite places for uplifting messages.
Great job brother, I needed that this morning!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you, Kerry! God bless you!❤
This is a great talk, a must listen and apply!
Powerful. Thank you.
Love this!!! Such an important message!!
I saw a title to a book that intrigued me “Don’t let the enemy have a seat at your Table”
Awesome message! I loved it.
So beautifully expressed ❤
I was looking for a while how to express this thought to my family and friends. I am so grateful to our Loving Father in Heaven that He is always watching over us.
Great talk. Thank you, Kerry. Thank you Ensign College.
absolutely beautiful talk, i am so grateful to have heard this. thank you mom for sending this talk to the family group chat and caring enough about all of us to want to share such a wonderful message. thank you kerry muhlestein.
Thank you! This is a lesson I've been learning this year. I'm so grateful when impressions I feel I've been given through the spirit are strengthened and verified through another witness like this devotional today.
This is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. Thank you. ❤
Excellent!!!
Excellent devotional!!
Loved this. Thank you ❤
Love this so much❤
Woh this talk... I be adjusting my priorities now 😫
So good!!
Thank you, thank you Brother Muhlestein! The points you compiled made so much sense to me!
Loved this. I’m going to start leveling up. Thank you! Always appreciate your stuff.
The blog this week by Conner Boyack is "The Law of Consecration". My thoughts lately have been on the law of consecration. It appears that Christ is preparing the Saints to live the law of consecration in the D&C revealed very soon, and brother Mulhlistien is trying to help more Saints to hear the call to prepare.
Awesome talk🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❣️
An excellent talk! ❤
An incredible talk!!
Powerful message love it!
I love this talk. I really needed this
Thanks; that was great.
Needed this and given on “my” 75 birthday-whoa
Happy Bday
So grateful I stumbled on this: a powerful review of so many "line upon line" concepts (and of things the Spirit has taught me) I've gathered through recent months and years from The Scriptures Are Real podcast. Thank you for your study and teaching, and especially for these inspired questions, Dr Muhelstein! [especially the questions beginning at 19:50]
Seeking personal revelation from Our Father in Heaven is the greatest source of learning. We should seek learning from the Lord, "ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you ... The Lord has much to teach us if we will diligently seek it and involve Him in our learning.
Waw that was excellent talk ..
Solid talk.
Truth 💯
Thoughts are leveling
Strong, courageous wake-up call.
Just what the divine physician ordered
Why not?
What’s really scary is when the prophet agrees with the world.
