Luke 6:40

53
Q

The Lord most often answers our pleas for growth or gifts by teaching us what we must do to receive them. This is a very important leadership skill.

A

When the disciples asked the Lord to increase their faith, He taught them how to in the parable of the unprofitable servant. Luke 17:5-10.

54
Q

The Savior clearly taught us, by example, that it is appropriate to offer a priesthood blessing when prompted by the Holy Ghost (this is very dependent on the gift of discernment).

“When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?”

A

John 5:6

55
Q

Planting and harvesting seeds

And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

A

John 4:36-38

Q

Effective Meetings

Great humility: complete dependence upon the Savior

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”

A

John 15:1-8
“Those men, though ordained to the Holy Apostleship, would find themselves strong and fruitful in good works, only as they remained in steadfast communion with the Lord. Without Christ what were they, but unschooled Galileans, some of them fishermen, one a publican, the rest of undistinguished attainments, and all of them weak mortals?” (Elder Talmage)

A

“You have to learn to be alone in a crowd. You have to have such control. That is so important. We [general authorities] spend so much time in airports and in other noisy places. But I do not go there. I might be standing there physically, but I am not there spiritually, because I am thinking things and doing things in my mind. If you will learn to do that, then the Spirit will teach you.

“The promise is that when you receive the Holy Ghost, ‘[It will] teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you’ (John 14:26).

“You will be doing things automatically, almost unwittingly. Without thinking, you will find you have been prompted and guided by the Holy Spirit”

1 Corinthians 5:9

62
Q

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

A

Ephesians 6:11-13

63
Q

The Lord promised Jacob, “I will be with thee” to protect him from Esau as Jacob kept the commandment to return to Canaan. Yet, when Jacob neared Canaan and learned that Esau approached with 400 men, “Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed.”

Faith, anxiety, fear, and distress. They can and almost always will coexist as we move forward with faith in God’s promises and our covenants, even as our short term expectations and proximal hopes sometimes crumble around us.

64
Q

How to prepare to worship (Sabbath and temple): get rid of distractions, cleanse ourselves, and dress appropriately and go to the dedicated, sanctified place (house of God). As we make the effort to prepare to and actually worship properly, we invite revelation.

And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el… Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments… and God appeared unto Jacob again

(Elder D. Todd Christofferson, “The Divine Gift of Repentance,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2011,39).

A

“Repentance means striving to change. … Surely the Lord smiles upon one who desires to come to judgment worthily, who resolutely labors day by day to replace weakness with strength. Real repentance, real change may require repeated attempts, but there is something refining and holy in such striving. Divine forgiveness and healing flow quite naturally to such a soul”

Q

Very important principles about revelation and faith to receive miracles are in notes attached to these verses.

Go forward! No matter how impossible the situation appears to be – and it looked impossible to the Israelites – even when it seems that to go forward would mean certain destruction or failure – and it was literally a life and death situation for the Israelites – go forward! We may need to step into the Red Sea. Our feet may get wet before the Sea begins to part. Go forward anyway!

Serve a mission. Go forward! Get married. Go forward! Have a family. Go forward! Follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost. Go forward! Accept and magnify your calling. Etc. Go forward!

Q

Trying to explain any commandment without the context of the Plan will be difficult and usually fail, even with members.

Elder Renlund’s wife: the short answer to any question from a non-member about the gospel is that a young man in 1820 prayed, received revelations, etc, and now I’ll tell you the rest. The key is testimony of the First Vision, then anything else is revelation. We must always go back to the Sacred Grove before talking about the revealed doctrines. Every time. We must always answer in the context of modern revelation.

Q

New covenant with house of Israel was prophesied by Jeremiah. The word new in this context means that God’s covenant – the fulness of the gospel – would be revealed anew to the house of Israel. The new and everlasting covenant was described as: Law written in our hearts and inward parts, all would know God, we would be His people, and our sins would be forgiven. This is the new and everlasting covenant He has made with us through the restored fullness of the gospel!

“When we keep the temple covenants we have made and when we live righteously in order to maintain the blessings promised by those ordinances, then come what may, we have no reason to worry or to feel despondent”

1 Planet needs love

JRH, The Cost and Blessings of Discipleship, CR Apr 2014)

A

Christlike love is the greatest need we have on this planet in part because righteousness was always supposed to accompany it. So if love is to be our watchword, as it must be, then by the word of Him who is love personified, we must forsake transgression and any hint of advocacy for it in others. Jesus clearly understood what many in our modern culture seem to forget: that there is a crucial difference between the commandment to forgive sin (which He had an infinite capacity to do) and the warning against condoning it (which He never ever did even once)

A

Apostles are men who have a witness of [the Lord’s] divinity, and whose voices have been and will be raised in testimony of his reality.

Their one chief concern must be the advancement of the work of God on the earth. They must be concerned with the welfare of our Father’s children, both those within the Church and those out of the Church. They must do all that they can to give comfort to those who mourn, to give strength to those who are weak, to give encouragement to those who falter, to befriend the friendless, to nurture the destitute, to bless the sick, to bear witness, not out of belief but out of a certain knowledge of the Son of God, their Friend and Master, whose servants they are.

“Detailed words can be heard or felt and written as though the instruction were being dictated.

“A communication to the heart is a more general impression. The Lord often begins by giving impressions. Where there is a recognition of their importance and they are obeyed, one gains more capacity to receive more detailed instruction to the mind. An impression to the heart, if followed, is fortified by a more specific instruction to the mind”

(Elder Richard G. Scott, “Helping Others to Be Spiritually Led” [address to Church Educational System religious educators, Aug. 11, 1998], 3–4)

“It doesn’t matter what I want. I don’t care anymore what I want. I only want that Thy will be done… Please tell me what to do.”
In that moment… the message came, and I was sure who it was from. It was clear what I was to do. I received no promise of the outcome. There was only the assurance that I was a child who had been told what path led to whatever He wanted for me. (HBE CR Apr 2006)
