A few of my favorite things - Book of Mormon

"If it be thou....... we believe and are sure thou" It is a pendulum swing our entire lives. What do you believe, what do you know for sure?

As Conference approaches we need to pray to have hearts open to receive God's message and be Healed! we have to seek and to act so that He can heal us.

Matthew 12: 33 "Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by his fruit." 

Wise as serpents, Harmless as Doves. We are given God's power- to make others whole. Bringing them to the Savior just as these 4 friends of the paralytic man did. 

He that hath much forgiven, Loves much. Are we Pharisees, publicans, sinners or disciples? At times we are all of these. 

A good tree bears Good fruit, a bad tree bears bad fruit. Too often we think we need to cut down the tree because we make mistakes! God knew we would need repentance. No turning to the Right or the Left- a straight course that needs course correction! 

Blessed are those with any lack- because they sought Jesus to be healed. Woe to them who have all they think they need, because like the pharisees and Sadducees their pride prevents them from seeing the miracles and the good Jesus brought. How easy it is to be kind to those who love us, the challenge is to be like Christ and learn to love those who do not show love in return. "He is kind to the unthankful" we can practice that.  

John 2: 5-6 "Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it...

and they filled them to the brim."

John 4:23 "The hour cometh, and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seekth such to worship Him." 

Christ was full of the Holy Ghost when Satan came to tempt Him. We can follow the Savior's example- in scripture, prayer, our wilderness' being with God to be filled with the spirit and prepared when Satan comes. He came at Christ, He came at Joseph Smith, he will come at all of us he views as a threat to him. Take it as a compliment he sees you as a threat and do what we can to be prepared, be filled with the Holy Ghost.  

Like John we are to lead others to Him- He who works miracles. Who offers grace and truth!
