“Upon You My Fellow Servants”

Doctrine and Covenants 12–17; Joseph Smith—History 1:66–75

The Aaronic Priesthood Is Restored

John the Baptist visits Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdry and restores the priesthood on earth.

This week we are going to learn that the keys of the priesthood are a super important a part of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Priesthood keys are given to act in God's name, by his power and authority. For example God has given us keys to baptize and bless the sacrament Because these keys were restored to God’s church, we enjoy many blessings made through covenants that bring us closer to Jesus Christ.

Joseph and Oliver worked hard translating the gold plates into english for many days.

They came to the part of the Book of Mormon where Jesus Christ appeared to the Nephites. They read that Jesus gave Nephi the priesthood power and authority to baptize. Joseph and Oliver knew that the authority to baptize was not on the earth in their day.

Joseph and Oliver wanted to know more about the authority to baptize, could anyone do it? How did it work? They walked to the trees near Joseph's house. They prayed and asked God about the authority to baptize in Christ's name. While they were praying, an angel descended from heaven in a cloud of light. The angel was John the Baptist, John the Baptist had the Aaronic Priesthood—God’s authority

to baptize. Jesus was baptized to set an

example for us, and John was the person that baptized Jesus!

Now as an angel, John the Baptist put his hands on Joseph and Oliver’s heads and said, "Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah, I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins." The power and authority of the Aaronic Priesthood was restored to the earth!

Why did an angel need to come and give it to them? Because no one on earth had that power. John the Baptist then told Joseph and Oliver they should baptize each other, so they went

to the River and and were baptized. They both felt the power of the Holy Ghost and after this, understanding the scriptures was way easier!

And now, because the priesthood authority is back on the earth, we can be baptized like Jesus was, repent from bad choices, and receive the power of the Holy Ghost!

This weeks primary podcast is about: Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdry receive revelation NOT to retranslate the plates from which the manuscript was stolen.

It might make sense to retranslate that portion, but the Lord saw something they could not: their enemies were planning to alter the words on those pages to cast doubt on Joseph’s inspired work. God had a plan to avoid that problem and keep the work moving forward. Thousands of years earlier, God inspired Nephi to write a second record that covered the same time period “for a wise purpose in Him” (1 Nephi 9:5).

“My wisdom,” the Lord said to Joseph, “is greater than the cunning of the devil” (Doctrine and Covenants 10:43). That’s a reassuring message in a day like ours, when the adversary is intensifying his efforts to weaken faith. Like Joseph, we can be “faithful and continue on” in the work God has called us to do (verse 3). Then we will find that He has already provided a way so that “the gates of hell shall not prevail” against us (verse 69).

The Lord’s “wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil.”

Nephi didn’t know why he was inspired to make two sets of records of his people. And Mormon didn’t know why he was inspired to include the second set with the gold plates. But both prophets trusted that God had “a wise purpose” (1 Nephi 9:5; Words of Mormon 1:7).

We will also learn about Divine Design reading from accounts in Elder Ronald A. Rasband’s message “By Divine Design”—they might bring examples to your mind (Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2017, 55–57).

And we read from: The Lord’s Hand”

President M. Russell Ballard

A talk given at BYU

He basically tells the story of his ancestor who was on the Mayflower and during a terrible storm fell overboard. As this man was falling he was somehow able to grab onto a rope and hang on for dear life as he was drug through the water until the storm subsided. He now has over 2 million Americans who can trace their lives and genealogy back to him. Including several US Presidents, authors, and even our own prophet Joseph Smith!

The Spirit of Revelation-

Come Follow Me

The story of Oliver Cowdry and how he became Joseph Smiths scribe. This week's lesson will help children learn what we can do to actively receive the Holy Ghost in our daily lives.

“Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.”

-D&C 8:2

“This Is the Spirit of Revelation”

Doctrine and Covenants 6–9

Oliver discovered, isn’t just for prophets like Joseph Smith. It’s for anyone who wants it and seeks it diligently. Oliver still had a lot to learn, but he knew enough to take his next step. He knew the Lord was doing something important through Joseph Smith, and Oliver wanted to be part of it.

Some audio was taken from the Talking Scriptures Podcast which we highly recommend!

Examples from this podcast:

Heavenly Father called Joseph Smith to help Him do His work. Let’s listen to what important things angel Moroni came to teach Joseph Smith. Can you pretend to be Joseph while you are listening to this story?

The next four years would be a time of preparation for Joseph. Part of that preparation would be the purifying of his heart in order to receive the precious items, the golden plates and the rim and thumin. Here’s what happened next to Joseph.

Joseph would bring forth the Book of Mormon;

we are invited to share its message.

Joseph would receive priesthood keys to turn the hearts of the children to their fathers;

we can now receive ordinances for our ancestors in temples.

Joseph was told of prophecies that would soon be fulfilled; we are called to help fulfill these prophecies.

As we take part in God’s work, we can expect to face opposition and even persecution, just as the Prophet did. But we can also have faith that the Lord will make us instruments in His hands, just as He did for Joseph.

This week we are learning about the first vision of Joseph Smith.

January 13–19: “I Saw a Pillar of Light”

Joseph Smith History 

Joseph Smith is the Prophet of the Restoration.

Joseph Smith was prepared to be a prophet of God.

We will also learn from Joseph Smiths first vision in the sacred grove, a pattern of prayer that we can follow to get answers ourselves.

WE can follow the pattern Joseph showed us during his life, a pattern of prayer!

Joseph said he was twelve when he started thinking about which church he should join. He had the first vision when he was 14. So this wasn’t a question he figured the answer to in a day, a week, or a month.

For our pattern of prayer, to be like Joseph, we should know that sometimes answers to our questions can take time.

Joseph tells us when he was trying to decide which church to join, he was so young that he could not come to any certain conclusion and needed wisdom from god since he did not know how to act.

For our pattern of prayer, to be like Joseph, we need to make sure we gather all the information we can and then go to God.

Joseph said he spent time in serious reflection. When we need help, do we spent time pondering solutions? If you want help on a test, you’ve got to study, - you can’t just pray for an A and not do your part and expect God to help.

Joseph said he attended all the different meetings as often as he could. He was doing his divine homework!

Joseph made a decision, he chose which church he thought was best, then he that decision to God to see if it was right. Often Heavenly Father expects us to make the best choice we can and then ask him to confirm if it is the right choice.

Joseph went somewhere where he could be unrushed and uninterrupted with God.

If you follow this pattern of prayer, and try to be like Joseph, we testify that you will be able to say the same thing to your mom that Joseph said to his right after he went home after having had the first vision…

I have learned for myself

Remember in the beginning Joseph didn’t know what to do? He was so confused. But in studying and praying like Joseph we testify you will be able to say all is well, i know for myself.

Some background music was written by Daniel Sacks and taken from the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints hymn book.

This week we are studying The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our prophet decided that to celebrate the restoration of the gospel and the first vision given to Joseph smith, instead of building a monument out of granite or stone, he would build one out of words.

The monument of words the first presidency created is titled “The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ: A Bicentennial Proclamation to the World.” It’s a monument not just to the First Vision but also to everything Jesus Christ has done—and is still doing—since then.

Children will learn these concepts:

“God loves His children in every nation of the world.”

The Restoration began with an answer to a question.

Jesus Christ has restored His Church.

“The heavens are open.”

“Heavenly messengers came to instruct Joseph Smith”
