Phil details 3 Nephi 16 and the lords prophecy of the latter day condition of the covenant people.

Phil discusses what is required to be a true servant and disciple.

Phil discuss those who qualify for destruction and those who qualify for deliverance.

Nephi “with unwearyingness declared the word” without fear of men and with continuous diligence in keeping God’s commandments. Having been tested to the core, the Lord saw fit to give Nephi the sealing power to bind on earth and heaven, knowing that he would not do things that are contrary to God’s will. What is this power Nephi received and how does one receive it? What is the holy order of God?

Phil discusses the works of righteousness brought by Helaman, Nephi, and Lehi and their teachings against the secret works of the Gadiatons.

Phil discusses the tyranny that will come and the faith that will be required to defend freedom and find deliverance through Christ.

Phil discusses the power of Christ that gives us strength and revelation against the evils of the adversary

Followers of Christ must follow the path He established. The path to the tree of life includes the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost and second comforter experiences. The host shares some personal experiences about preparing for, seeking after and receiving these things in this life. Those who seek to “come unto Christ” may know for themselves of “our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance” (1 Thes 1:5).

The LDS Word of Wisdom discussion continued, with a modern day application. Using the same principles of “avoid toxins that harm” and “eat things that strengthen” we must be wise in our times. Many hidden dangers and benefits in common foods and household products are explored. Informed decision-making and wisdom from the Spirit should be applied to improving our temporal and spiritual health.

The Lord warned and forewarned the saints of evil & conspiring men in the last days who would seek to poison mankind and attack the general health of the population. The LDS Word of Wisdom is designed to be adapted to the times in which we live. In modern times, we must all learn to identify and avoid harmful toxins and strive to consume a wise diet that allows for our bodies to heal and house the Holy Spirit.
