  • This group of stories show the Lord's guiding influence throughout all our lives. No matter where you are or what you have done, there is no place you can go that you are beyond the reach of our Savior Jesus Christ and his Atoning Sacrifice for you and all of God's children. Accidents can occur in all activities. Though they may seem like catastrophes or problems...these can be the times the Lord will Inspire and direct you. These stories weave accounts from WWI to the present time to show patterns of direction and the Lord's love for each of us.
    Seek the Lord in all thy doings ... "Look unto to me in every thought."

      Well Its not just Satan or the Adversary (his army of minions) for God told me in my PB blessing that the enmity is personal between just me and Lucifer . The Prince of Darkness Himself their Leader their Dark Lord God said to me that Lucifer his enemy would be following me around in this life like a Relentless Little Bloodhound harassing, getting into my ear and using his dark powers to afflict the body because hes upset at me for coming into this Church and for getting involved in accelerating the work of the dead... Two things I did that really upset the Prince. And the third thing he Lucifer will never forgive me for was the council's decision in the pre-earth life.

      @@lancemerrill6390 Proof? Are you kidding me, God said to me in my PB blessing after I had joined the church that Lucifer Himself the Prince would be personally going out of his way to track me from then on and come in himself to harass and I thought What !! how can God say I have the devil's attention. But I was actively involved in genealogy and family history
      checking for ordinances of the dead .

    Brother Merrill, I love your authenticity in sharing these faith promoting stories. I found the church when I was 20 after a somewhat wild life and a NDE. Here is a brief version of that story. Enjoy!
    I was raised a Lutheran by a Catholic father and Lutheran mother who rarely attended any church. They however made sure my brother, sister and I were sent to church. I'm forever grateful for parents who cared enough to see that I got some religious training in my youth. I'm grateful to the Lutheran church for introducing me to Jesus Christ the Son of God. By the prayer of faith and the witness of the Holy Ghost I learned as a child that Jesus is the true Son of God who lives today as a resurrected being in heaven with God the Father. I know that he atoned for the sins of all mankind on the cross and opened the way for the resurrection and salvation of all men. In my early teens I questioned my parents, church and leaders on their authority and knowledge. I rebelled against society and became a hippie looking for love in all the wrong places and doing all the wrong things. However, God in his great mercy chose to chasen and awaken me to the error of my ways. This happened at Woodstock 1969(when I was 19) during a near death experience while I was abusing my body with those bad things of the day. I found myself in hell tormented by all my sins and then reflected upon my childhood belief in Jesus Christ and called upon his name to save me. He heard my voice and delivered me back to life. I was born again and made a promise that day to change my life and go and do what the Lord wanted me to do. He led me by the Bible and the Holy Spirit over the next nine months to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where I was baptized in the Atlantic Ocean at Smith Point Fire Island, NY on June 27th 1970. I know by personal revelation and the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Savior of all mankind and He has led me to the prophet Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon and the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which I know to be true by the power of the Holy Ghost. Please seek, read, ponder and pray concerning these things and you too can know they are true by the power of the Holy Ghost I pray in name of Jesus Christ, amen!

    When I was a child of about eight years old my father was a stake missionary in the old St. Joseph Stake of Arizona ( he was a Seventy at the time). Dad took me with him to a meeting that was held in the small branch in San Carlos, AZ (about 70 miles away) on the San Carlos Apache Reservation. Brother Hugh B. Brown was the speaker at that night time meeting. I never forgot the experience of listening to him talk to the natives in that meeting. He talked about a bush being cut down and almost destroyed, but with water and care the bush came back to life. Of course he was talking about the Lamanites being cut off from the Lord, but now they were coming back to life, just like the bush. I know I have forgotten much of the content of his talk, but I did remember the part about the bush. I am grateful for the experience and consequently Brother Brown has always been special to me.

    I love J Golden Kimball. During his mission, my husband bought the book about him and we have enjoyed many of the stories. But I think our favorite is this one: during elder Kimball's mission he served in the Southern States Mission. One Sunday morning he and his companion were walking to church. They meet a Catholic priest and as he passes them he says: Good morning sons of Satan. The elders being polite answers: Good morning Father.😅

      @@Brandonthrill When Hugh B. Brown was interviewed to become a general authority he related the wrestle he had had the night before President McKay called him. In the video I quote what he was told. HBB's account of the conversation is in several of his talks on line. I down loaded a transcript of one of his talks on LDS library. From the HBB's story and other accounts, it is obvious it is not a physical wrestle but spiritual. Thanks for watching.
