What a wonderful way to wake up on a Sabbath morning to once again enjoy the wisdom that you bring to the scriptures and my studies of them. I wondered where you have been. I’m just grateful that you have the strength to carry on. Thank you for all you do and my prayers are with you.
Praying for your health to return soon, Br Halverson. I frequently recount to the Lord that you are a treasure to all who hear your wise words. You make the Scriptures come alive. Thank you.
Brother Jared…during the Chicago Bulls dynasty, whenever Michael Jordan announced that he was not well before a game, the other members knew that he would then provide an amazing performance during the game. To me, this lesson has been one of your best💪. And I’ve been following you for Four years now. We are so blessed by your faithful diligence to help expand the Lords truth…. I was worried about you, and put your name on the Temple prayer roll😇👍. Hope you’re feeling well soon brother❤️. David
I’m so excited to see you this morning Jared. 🎉 I was looking for you every morning this week and thought you must be sick. 🤒 I was praying for you this past week and prayers were answered. Jared I’ve been watching you since January and we have so much in common. I’ve learned a lot from you and you make me laugh. Thank you for committing your life to the Lord. Misty Weinheimer
I started to wonder what happened, I am thankful all is well, and we are back to business with these lessons. Bless you always. I am so sorry you have been ill, you will get better soon. And the mention of Mormon how the spirit is not there, that we struggle by ourselves since we didn't want the spirit. You are so right. I often think about it. When Mormon didn't want to lead anymore, honestly, I could not continue without the spirit guiding me. I hold on for dear life. It blows my mind when people will not humble themselves and just say, "You know what my idea is not working. I am going to repent and ask Heavenly Father to help me.
Thank you for your statement of wisdom. You are absolutely right. When you have the spirit it's much easier to swim through these shark infested waters of the world. It's all about having the Peace of Mind and heart when all of the struggling begins. It seems to be so much easier when you have grabbed the Lord's yoke, then you can let the Lord lead the way into the greener pastures of life.
That’s why, I felt it so that something is wrong when I looked to see a new lesson and made a review to see if i missed something . . . I know you were thinking of us during the days when you were sick and I for one want was also thinking of you and wondering . I pray you gain strength and be well again. We love you , your lessons have been my companion in driving 45 minutes to work and coming home after work as well and before I retire to bed THANK YOU VERY MUCHO!
May our Father in Heaven restore your sound health, in Jesus name. We love you Brother Jared. I learned so much of you. I wanted to write everything you shared
Thank you for your work & dedication. Isaiah & the Book of Mormon were never clearer to me until now. You are amazing...God our Father bless & heal you❤
Dear brother Jared; thank you so much for finding the strength to come back after being so sick 8:26 !! My world was just not the same last week Wednesday through Saturday as I searched regularly for your new unshaken video. Aah… when I saw it there Saturday suddenly everything was right again ! I felt terrible when you explained how sick you’ve been . So sorry. Sending prayers and blessings your way for your entire family every day. Thank you for the blessing you are in my life as you through the Spirit make the scriptures come alive for me.
Thank you, Bro. Halverson for soldiering on despite being sick. So appreciate your dedication to this channel and sharing your insights for our benefit. Hope you make a full recovery soon!
Brother Jared Halverson, I was called to serve in our ward to be a Sunday school teacher .After much of the knowledge I learned from you I got the courage to accept the call .I am forever thankful for the light and knowledge you shared with us .
Such a great and remarkable video. I enjoy how you explain the scriptures and take them apart to help us learn. I appreciate the time that you take to teach us the words of Nephi and Isaiah through the Book Of Mormon. It just goes to show that there is more to come when the Lord returns. I have always wondered what it will be like when we learn from our Heavenly Father about the way the world was made, and eventually learn how to create a world. Oh, how I hope I am worthy of the Celestial Glory. I know that we have a lot more to learn, and we will continue to learn events throughout the millennium. It makes me excited to think that we as children of God have a brighter future ahead. We truly only have the basics and once we are given the opportunity to learn more I would imagine that we will be blown away.
I am so grateful for the sacrifices you make to share your knowledge and insights to the scriptures. The Come Follow Me lessons have greater meaning to me with your commentary and connections. Thank you!
I can't help but think that the "many churches" could refer to colleges and universities and that the "flaxen cord" could refer to the world wide web. It brings people together, binds them together, and then, depending on the source of the cord, either draws them down or raises them up.
So sorry u r sick. Warm wishes. 😷That was a great bonus lecture . Very interesting how u compared and contrasted the First great commandment and the second commandment. I keep thinking about it, and about being "easy to get along with" :-). The door welcoming back the less active can't b accessed if they've pulled it shut and locked it . Because....... we were too obtuse to ease up on the throttle........ and experience their Humanity.
Adversity: Are we victors or victims? | Faith Nov 4, 2019 - He often joked about this final surgery, saying that he “fell among cut-throats.” The surgery left him with a diminished ability to speak
@ 1:40 This is a little much more than necessary... it just shows God likes the underdog... 1 Samuel 15:16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on. 17 And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, Wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, And the Lord anointed thee king over Israel? 18 And the Lord sent thee on a journey, And said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, And fight against them until they be consumed.
Continued: Might have been Sunday morning (Saturday night I remember I was still a bit down I think) when your new video popped up and suddenly everything was better . Just like sunshine in the morning ⭐️. Get all the way well soon. Bless you and your family. 🙏
Bro. Halverson, I’m glad you’re feeling better. Thank you for all you do. My daughter married a man from Saudi Arabia. In come follow me last week we were talking about words God has given to other nations. I can’t read the Koran but would appreciate any resources you could direct me to. I have the pamphlet the church did comparing Muslim’s beliefs. My son in law is a great man but does not know Christ.
Thank you so very much for pushing forward to share with us your discipleship in Christ even though you are sick. I knew something was not right with you when your next video didn't come out when it usually does. I just want you to know that you are very much appreciated for what you have been doing for the past almost 4 years. I do pray that these videos will always be available to us because I do go back and watch them especially the study of Isaiah. Please tell me that these lessons will stay. God bless you and your family for all the service you have done for Heavenly Father's children to help our testimony and FAITH BECOME UNSHAKEN.
I enjoy your videos. But I don’t watch them because your videos are too long. You need to be more concise. I want to listen to as many of the RUclips and podcast videos as possible, to hear what Hod has said to them. Listening to 4-6+ hours of your views would take away that aim. If you meet your shorter video goals I would listen to them. As of now I don’t.
I love 2 Nephi 26:35/Isaiah 29:24. It helps me to know that the day will come when “they also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding.” God will indeed bless all honest seekers of truth to find and understand it.
I am reading the Book of Mormon online. 2 Nephi 26:3 says, "And after the Messiah shall come there shall be signs given unto my people of his birth, and also of his death and resurrection; and great and terrible shall that day be unto the wicked, for they shall perish; and they perish because they cast out the prophets, and the saints, and stone them, and slay them; wherefore the cry of the blood of the saints shall ascend up to God from the ground against them". "Signs" [3a] links back to 1 Nephi 12:4-6, a reference to the 3 days of darkness that was a sign of his death. 1 Nephi 19:10 also mentions this sign of his death. But what was the sign of the resurrection?
I think the sign of Christ's resurrection was the saints rising from the dead Matthew 27:52 for the Jews and the prophecy by Samuel in Helaman 14:25 with Christ referencing it's fulfillment as found in 3rd Nephi 23:9 for the Nephite people.
@@charming-witsassy-sarcasm5621 Thank you. I read the passages you mentioned. I found it odd that while Nephi would record him raising his brother from the dead (3 Nephi 17:9), the destruction of all those cities at the time of Christ's crucifixion (3 Nephi 8 and 9), and that none of the Nephites (including him) truly believed earlier teachings about Jesus until after they had all gone forth to touch him (3 Nephi 11:13-16), he did not record the saints rising from the dead and ministering to them. I found a modern day scenario to fit 3 Nephi 23:12. Imagine your friend telling you that she doesn't see pictures of your wedding in any of the photo albums you are showing her and then you respond with, "You're right. I just remembered that I didn't take any wedding photos". Another strange occurrence is Jesus blaming all the disciples for failing to mention this event when only Nephi was responsible for recording it on the plates.
Great episode. It’s interesting that Nephi mentioned to not commit “whoredoms”, among the list of commandments to keep in 2 Ne: 26:32. In Jacob 2&3, where Jacob gives his sermon and highlights certain commandments and sins, he defines whoredoms and abominations as polygamy and even references Lehi, saying that the law to only have one wife dates back to the commandments that the Lord gave Lehi. “Whoredoms” is defined as polygamy throughout the Book of Mormon. As a side note on the topic of polygamy/whoredoms, I also noticed that Jacob 2:22-24 directly contradicts D&C 132:1. Which scripture is one to believe? Joseph said the Book of Mormon is the “most correct book” and so I will trust that that applies here.
2 Ne 26:25 "buy milk and honey without money and without price" It is like a scholarship to university. You don't pay for it. It was paid for by someone else, but you do have to qualify to receive it. It's not something that you can earn, but it is a gift that you can receive upon compliance with the right conditions. Jesus earned it and paid for it with His blood, and it is His Grace that offers it to us when we come to Him and accept Him as our God and keep His commandments.
Maybe 2 Nephi 26:31 applies to much more than priestcraft. For me it applies to all of us who labor. Do we labor for Zion or for money and recognition? Do we labor for big houses, cars etc. or is our goal to build up Zion? I’m retired now but sadly I think many times I failed to labor for Zion.
I believe part of the Spirit striving is when I try to teach what the Spirit should teach and when I open my mouth when I should not even though what I am saying is true.
Remember that it is not needful to run faster than we have strength. There is an old IT adage that you either schedule time for system maintenance or your system will schedule it for you.
Hello Bro Halverson! I have a question that's always confused me about who the gentiles are. Are we, the church, considered gentiles? But aren't most of us from the tribe of Ephraim? so we wouldn't be considered "gentiles" in the scriptures? Or are we gentiles that are adopted into the house of Israel? It gets a bit confusing. Someone at Stake Conference called us all gentiles, and it totally confused me. Lol. Hope you can help!
It's definitely confusing! My understanding is that we are all gentiles unless genetically a direct descendant of Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. However, at the same time we can be adopted into the tribe of Ephraim when we are baptized into the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Our adoption brings us into the house of Israel and we are no longer gentiles. Keep in mind, this is only my limited understanding. I recommend you (we all) keep asking and learning anything you desire to learn more of!
Wow! I just started reading 2 Nephi 30 and the answer is right there! The chapter summary and verses 1 and 2. God is so good to provide us with answers to questions we have and I'd be willing to guess that there are more scriptures which answer this same question.
You have now lost me. I just don't have time for you.When you started this year I had great hopes, because you said you would be limiting your podcasts to 1 hour. I stopped listening in January because one lesson had two parts of 1 hour and 45 minutes each (3 1/2 hours total). I just tried to start again and this week's lesson has two parts ~ over 2 hours on the first and over 1 hour and 39 minutes on the second (over 3 1/2 hours total). I love your insights! However, I don't have the time to listen to what you are doing. In fact, I'm not sure I can trust you, because I am not seeing any effort to keep your presentations to an hour ~ even when you are sick. I do hope you get better soon. Goodbye ....
Best of luck to you, there are many podcasters out there With 1hour videos that might meet your needs. 😊 As for me, I'm staying here and soaking up As much wisdom and knowledge that is offered. Grateful😊😊
This is my personal experience but I completely trust Brother Halvorsen, my heart burns within me when he speaks, but this is like my love language, so I understand if it does not meet your needs, we are all on our own journey of faith and understanding, I hope you find the type of content you are comfortable with
@@whereloveis1 I'm afraid I didn't express myself well enough. I LOVE Brother Halvorsen's podcast! When he started this year he promised that he would make his podcasts closer to one hour. I thought, "YAY! I will have time to listen to him!" He has not made good on that promise and I just don't have the time to sit in front of my computer for hours on end. I miss his insights and wish he would put out a greater effort to keep things closer to one hour!
I can see that for sure, I have more time during the day to listen while I do chores at home, I find though if I do have time to listen to the whole episode, I find the time stamps to be very helpful, in my own study…perhaps that way you could still get some of the insights we both have grown to love
We love you and pray for you, our dear brother Hal! Please rest and get well soon!!❤
What a wonderful way to wake up on a Sabbath morning to once again enjoy the wisdom that you bring to the scriptures and my studies of them. I wondered where you have been. I’m just grateful that you have the strength to carry on. Thank you for all you do and my prayers are with you.

I’ve learned a lot from you and you make me laugh.
Thank you for committing your life to the Lord.

Prayers that you will be fully yourself soon.
Thank you for taking time out to share your wisdom with us, but remember to take care of yourself too!
I so appreciate what you give us you are in my prayers Brother

It saddens me when other Christians dismiss parts of the Old Testament like Isaiah as dead law. And they refuse to liken it to themselves.
I don’t remember people getting colds and coughs like we do now. Hope you get well soon!
Looking forward to 2nd Nephi 27 :16 .
I am reading the Book of Mormon online.
2 Nephi 26:3 says, "And after the Messiah shall come there shall be signs
given unto my people of his birth, and also of his death and resurrection;
and great and terrible shall that day be unto the wicked, for they shall
perish; and they perish because they cast out the prophets, and the saints,
and stone them, and slay them; wherefore the cry of the blood of the saints
shall ascend up to God from the ground against them".

Best of luck to you, there are many podcasters out there With 1hour videos that might meet your needs. 😊 As for me, I'm staying here and soaking up As much wisdom and knowledge that is offered.
Grateful😊😊
This is my personal experience but I completely trust Brother Halvorsen, my heart burns within me when he speaks, but this is like my love language, so I understand if it does not meet your needs, we are all on our own journey of faith and understanding, I hope you find the type of content you are comfortable with
@@whereloveis1 I'm afraid I didn't express myself well enough. I LOVE Brother Halvorsen's podcast! When he started this year he promised that he would make his podcasts closer to one hour. I thought, "YAY! I will have time to listen to him!" He has not made good on that promise and I just don't have the time to sit in front of my computer for hours on end. I miss his insights and wish he would put out a greater effort to keep things closer to one hour!
I can see that for sure, I have more time during the day to listen while I do chores at home, I find though if I do have time to listen to the whole episode, I find the time stamps to be very helpful, in my own study…perhaps that way you could still get some of the insights we both have grown to love
