Another Testament of Jesus Christ Podcast

Nephi will share Isaiah 49 with us. We will discuss the Gathering of Israel and all the different ways the Lord will do that. We learn that in the end, everyone will know who the Savior is. He will make himself known to all. That the Gathering will not leave anyone out, and he truly is aware of everyone and every situation. The Gathering of Israel is a process that will take time but we are all included. We are also helping to gather Israel, be being good examples to those around us, by going to the temple and doing temple work, by raising our children with the Gospel in their lives, and by following the commandments. Isn't it fantastic that we are all a part of this amazing work.

Nephi told us in the last chapter that he wanted to share Isaiah's Words with his family, his posterity, with us, and anyone who would read these plates. His purpose was so that He might more fully persuade us to believe in the Lord our Redeemer. When we read this Chapter with that in mind we can really see Nephi's purpose in sharing these parts of Isaiah. There are so many reasons for us to Believe in the LORD and to have Faith in Him, and his plan for us.

Today we will learn about the Purpose for Nephi creating these plates. We will read about other plates, and other prophets that we may not have known about. We will discuss what will happen when the Lord comes, and we will talk about why it is important to liken the scriptures to our own lives and share them with our families in that way.

Nephi finally finishes the ship with the help fo the Lord, and the family sets sail into the unknown. Of course his brothers will cause some problems along the way, and we will discuss how our actions can affect those around us. The faith of everyone is strengthened, as they see Nephi calm a furious storm. When they finally make it to the Promise Land we will see that the Lord blesses those with Pure Faith, in Abundance. What an amazing journey it has been.

Today we will read about the women and the strength they were blessed with as they traveled through the wilderness bearing children through out their journey. Nephi will once again shock us with his undeniable Faith when the Lord asks him to build a ship. We will be amazed as we read about the power of the Lord literally coming from Nephi and shocking his two older brothers Laman and Lemuel. Stick around after the chapter is over because we will be talking with a good friend Michele Reyes a little more about this chapter, life as a Mother of 7 , scriptures, and so much more…. Ok lets get started.

Lehi finds an amazing ball made of brass called the Liahona. This is used as a guide for Lehi and his family as they travel through the wilderness. At the end of the chapter we will talk with Tara Kingi about the Liahona's that guide our own lives. Nephi breaks his bow and the family is hungry, upset and tired of traveling. We will discuss how often the Lord gives us trials in our lives to prepare us for something that is just around the corner.

In this chapter Nephi Exhorts his brothers with every ounce of his soul to come unto Christ…to repent and to partake fo the fruits of the gospel. Imagine if we all did that this week…what a huge impact it would have. Nephi will also teach us the secret formula to getting answers.We will discuss the blessings of Abraham, and we will try and pay more attention to when we receive answers in our lives.

Today we will read about the Marvelous Work the Lord has for us to do here on this earth. We will discuss how righteous decisions give us Gods Power in our life, and we will conclude Nephi's vision with his powerful testimony.

Today as we read Nephi will see wars and the start of America. He will see the loss of many plain and precious parts of the Bible. He will see the records that he is keeping help in the restoration of the Gospel and the building up of Zion. It is amazing to see the Future from the perspective of the Past.

We will continue to hear the word look through out our chapter….we will discuss More of the Symbolism of The Vision Nephi is having of the Tree of Life… and we will have sympathy for Nephi's as he sees the destruction of his Posterity. After the chapter we will hear Brother Martins thoughts on a very misunderstood verse in the scriptures.
