This book was released on 2023-04-17 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are receiving revelation! Since the restoration of this Church, prophets and leaders have urged us to follow the promptings of the Spirit. But what does that mean? How can we recognize these promptings and discern them from our own thoughts, worldly influences, or even false impressions from the adversary? Such difficulties have led many faithful members to doubt whether they've ever received heavenly promptings at all! If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone. In more than sixteen years as a full-time missionary or serving in a mission presidency, Loren Dalton has seen countless wonderful men and women in the Church struggle with doubts regarding their own abilities to receive promptings. Drawing from his own faith transformation and principles from modern prophets, Brother Dalton teaches us · how to recognize the Holy Spirit's voice and see His guidance in past experiences. · to beware of the "second voice" that comes to us immediately after the Holy Spirit's prompting. · that what we think is negative self-talk is actually one of the adversary's favorite and most dangerous tools. · what to do if a prompting doesn't make sense. · the importance of acting on even our smallest spiritual whispers. God wants to communicate with His children. If utilized, the tools found in You Are Receiving Revelation will help us open our hearts, wade through the distractions, and listen!

Download or read book Repentance Refinement through the Mortal Journey written by Alan Ruppe and published by Cedar Fort Publishing & Media. This book was released on 2023-03-22 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Repentance is one of the core tenets of the gospel, but what does it truly mean? Understanding the principle of repentance at a deeper level is often overshadowed by the simplistic reciting of the five-step process of repentance: (1) recognition, (2) remorse, (3) confession, (4) restitution, and (5) forgiveness. But repenting is so much more than a checklist step in the process to get on the righteous path. When confronted by a Primary child's innocent question about repentance, author G. Alan Ruppe realized that something was missing from his lifelong simplistic view of what it means to repent. The intense research and spiritual revelation that stemmed from that awakening culminate in this insightful discussion about the nature of sincere, divine repentance and forgiveness. In Repentance: Refining the Mortal Journey, discover The historical definitions of biblical repentance and how translations over time have skewed our perception of this sacred practice. The difference between sins and mortal mistakes, when and why repentance is necessary, and how repentance relates to our God-given agency. How to receive divine forgiveness and become once again clean and pure through the Atonement of Christ. Real repentance, the kind desired for us by our Heavenly Parents, is an emotionally and spiritually painful process, but it is a course that will help develop our repentance from an abstract perception to a genuine way of life. A deeper understanding of its purpose will reveal avenues to stronger faith, richer experiences, and more profound joy as we journey through this mortal life.

Download or read book What they Don t Teach you at the MTC written by Norman C. Hill and published by Cedar Fort Publishing & Media. This book was released on 2023-04-17 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When author Norman Hill asked hundreds of Church members what they needed to do to prepare for a mission, he was given several answers and suggestions-so many that he realized how easy it was to overlook the most important strengths The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints prescribes for its gospel messengers. Some of the abilities we sometimes fail to consider are • Understanding priesthood leaders' perspectives • Obeying mission rules with exactness • Focusing on commitments and the baptismal interview questions when teaching investigators • Being aware of one's own personal progress and not that of others • Visualizing investigators as our Father in Heaven visualizes them In order for missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to succeed in their sacred calling, they must first be prepared, and in order for them to be prepared, they must first know how. What They Don't Teach at the MTC provides the fundamental foundation needed in order to gain the necessary skills and abilities to serve a successful mission. It is for all those who desire to bring souls unto Christ and reap the blessings thereof. Benjamin Franklin once said, "Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, success, and achievement have no meaning."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Baring Witness, Holly Welker and thirty-six Mormon women write about devotion and love and luck, about the wonder of discovery, and about the journeys, both thorny and magical, to humor, grace, and contentment. They speak to a diversity of life experiences: what happens when one partner rejects Church teachings; marrying outside one's faith; the pain of divorce and widowhood; the horrors of spousal abuse; the hard journey from visions of an idealized marriage to the everyday truth; sexuality within Mormon marriage; how the pressure to find a husband shapes young women's actions and sense of self; and the ways Mormon belief and culture can influence second marriages and same-sex unions. The result is an unflinching look at the earthly realities of an institution central to Mormon life.
