    One of the first persons I would like to meet after I shed this mortal coil is Brother Joseph. I want to shake his hand, give him a hug and thank him for his sacrifice.

    Joseph Smith will return. He has a work yet to do. I love him.

    Appearing at the time of my life was providential and I love listening to your lectures and your great voice. I ended up being a broadcaster for FM-radio and I am always moved by good speakers. So happy to remember you in watching these broadcasts. Thank you. You helped me becoming a true "saint".

      Too bad that the School of the Prophets was ever discontinued.

      But was it? I think it was so valuable that the Priesthood that wrote the Sunday School Manuals incorporated the ideas into the general handbook for the adult Sunday School lessons. I often think of our Priesthood as God's army in plain clothes. Even those in uniform usually dress in suit and tie for their Sabbath services.

    These talks changed my life as a tween, not only helping build my knowledge, but also testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr.. Further still, these set my mind on how to properly discern and where the proper sources are and most of all to avoid things from outside the prophets and apostles and to treat what the prophets and apostles say with great care. Above all of these things I learned the possibilities that are open to me from a loving Father in Heaven who does indeed love me and who sent his Son Jesus Christ who also loves me and knows me.

      Aaron Abbott I agree with your observations and conclusions 👍! We need modern prophets to deal with a changing world and unclear situations🙏!

      Well said Aaron , I feel the same. That was a very important talk and I felt the spirit touch my heart of truth. I am grateful even today to follow the prophet and I can't imagine the Lord letting us do this alone in this last dispensation.

      My ADHD tweens can't pay attention to anything like this; their brains are so fried by Web junk, video games and ads, etc., even their school math tutorials have to advance them to the next level via video games for every five math problems they answer to keep them on task.

    A Prophet of Gods power can still be felt in this world long after his departure to the next world.

    I'm so grateful for these series of videos .I know I made the right decision to be baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I know Jesus is the Christ and He lives. I know Joseph Smith Jr is the prophet of the restoration. I know that we have a living prophet President Russell M.Nelson. in the name of Jesus Christ.

    • @leswalker2639
      @leswalker2639 Před 2 lety

      Thank you for your testimony. I am grateful also and have a testimony of our Prophet Joseph Smith and those who came after. I know now it is a must that we listen closely to the prophet today and his counselors. We will have to leave the world activity behind and that's going to be hard for some. It will turn into another Moses leading us through the dangers before the coming of the Lord and All His Holy Angels. Never dismiss our Lord coming several times before the last to destroy the wicked. Repentance is the only way to be able to make it just like many of the Israelites. You can look back on the Israelites and even nowadays we will have to walk and learn in troubled times.
