I'm not LDS, but this came up on my recommendations and I watched it because I've hit rock bottom. And for the first time I've felt peace. Thank you.
grapeexmagoo o hope you will revisit those message and other messages from our Church.
Keep learning about this wonderful church, and you will know that this is true and He is always there for you.
While your post was eight years ago, I hope you're doing better now.
BRUCE You might already be doing this but if your not, than I invite you to spread the message about the worldwide fast on Good Friday end this virus. This is the only thing that’s going to be able to stop this. We know it will work because President Nielsen told us this is just a test run for the real thing. Spread the word everywhere you can. The last call is going out. If we don’t participate, we won’t be able to be part of Zion before the second coming and that we will literally be an apocalyptic wasteland
Thank you very much for sharing your feelings of how this touched you for the good. I'm 66, a member since I was 8 & the past 45 years, most the time I feel my testimony of this being the Restored Church can not be strengthened any more...And then I hear or read simple statements like this, about how personal incidents that happen in the lives of the Lords Prophet & Apostles & other leaders in the church, helps change someones life...It testifies to me Father truly uses mere mortal men & women, to bring about His Plan of Salvation for his Children on earth...
This message is more important these days than people may think. It's something I needed to hear again.
I completely agree with you!! I've never been a man of God most my life!! But lately with everything that's going on in the world today makes me realize that God's word and the story behind this life is true!! I've just been learning as much as possible and im not just doing it because of what's going on and only trying to look for a way out!!! now that I've been studying and reading more about the Bible it woke me up!! 🤯🤯 and made me realize what is important and what is not!! Now I'm not saying I 100 percent changed over a weeks time but I see things for what they are now!! I get the bigger picture 🙏🙏 it's deeper then I've ever thought possible.. but I'm a believer that everything happens for a reason combat reason for me was this disease going around!!cherish the little moments because they are a lot bigger than what you are doing right now I can promise you that!! Hope everybody who See's this stays healthy Repents and prays for forgiveness !! Stay woke world for he will come like a thief in the night!!! by then it may be too late for forgiveness 🙏
@Credential Window Cleaning, thanks for sharing your faith and perspective!
Cocomelon
I love the mention of faith over fear.
"Don't demand things that are unreasonable, but demand of yourself improvement. As you let the Lord help you, through that, he will make the difference." -Russell M. Nelson
Thank You so very much for posting this timely quote. Only Father knew what my tender grateful Soul needed to do 3yrs later.
Amen
AMEN!
Thanks for that quote.
And the insight to share it.
I WILL PROMISE YOU... Through this church. You will always feel joy. I just was baptised 1year and a half ago. And i can feel Christ with me, every step of the way. I hit rock bottom myself, and its not easy. You will be ok. Becuase you reconize you need Christ. -AJ
U can't promise such things... it can just lead to dissapointment.. everyone's experience is more or less different than the ones of others... one can find joy while being w a pure heart, while another one seeking the truth could find it somewhere else (n esp their joy)😊
You won’t always feel joy, but you can always find peace
❤
Are you still a member?
Blessed is this testimony hallelujah
This Saturday is my baptism. You can't do it alone. We all need our heavenly father to bless us each and every day. I'm here at the hospital with my father, who doesn't have much time left on this earth. I know he's in good hands.
Hey, I hope your baptism was amazing and filled with the Holy Spirit and God’s love. Remember that life doesn’t get easier, but your ability and strength to push through has grown significantly stronger. When you are hit with the walls of life, turn to prayer.. our Father in Heaven. He will give you strength, if all you do is ask.
You are never alone.
@choosehigherground It was the greatest feeling in the world. I thank our heavenly father that his son, my brother Jesus christ, saved me.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏 Jesus christ is the Lord, and he loves you!
The Lord truly prepared President Nelson
How? For what? If he was inspired about caronavirus, why didn't he warn the leaders of the country to prepare? Or the members? Instead of making a vaguely worded "prophecy" that this general conference would be "different" than others (which honestly could mean *anything*!)
More important it is to prepare us all...keep faithing it on and not let our hearts fail us....by remembering our divine identity and as I am saying this I'm speaking first and foremost to myself......😇
@@apostatelizzy6836That isn't how it works. It just isn't. The role of the prophet isn't a fortune teller. He receives revelation from God and sometimes for things which he may not know the reason at the present time. President Nelson may have know exactly why or he may have just been inspired to do what he did from God and followed the promptings, all that matter is that we listen to the prophets words and know he is inspired of God.
John 16:33 "In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
Thank you 🙏 so much.
Amem.hugs
i remember looking at videos on the mormon channel years ago and there would be hundreds of thousands of dislikes to few thousands of likes and i would never understand why others would hate on this religion so much... this church is amazing and true and im proud to be a part of it
Amen.
Cause this church is true
👍 this church is true. Thankyou for standing firm in your faith.
I ask because I play the bass it's a Fender Mockingbird.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the truthful gospel of Christ.
"Demand of yourself improvement". I love that quote.
I love my savouir jesus christ the greatest happening of mankind
“I’m so thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ to allow me this kind of strength in thes tumultuous times.”
i had a dream like that a few days ago...as the plane was falling i just closed my eyes began to talk to god over and over, while praying the fear left me, i felt at peace, warm and in a spiritual zone. Then i woke up! All i could say is wow!
Watching during the CoronaVirus pandemic.
NO MATTER WHAT WE GO THROUGH, JESUS IS THERE! WE ARE NEVER, EVER ALONE!!! Jerry 👦
@@Syngeman You are correct. The plandemic/scamdemic
President Nelson has warned us that COVID-19 is real, and has asked us to take necessary precautions.
how appropriate
There have been times in my life where my faith in God and the teachings of the restored gospel were all that kept my going. If anyone is struggling and doesn’t know where to turn, turn to your Father in Heaven. He loves you and will always give you the strength to keep going.
Thanks for sharing your faith and encouragement, Jansen. For those interested, next weekend, April 4-5, apostles and prophets of Jesus Christ will share messages of hope and faith at our Church's general conference. Tune in at churchofjesuschrist.org, or right here on our RUclips channel. Take care!
Amen brother.
"Don't demand things that are unreasonable. But demand of yourself improvement"
This seriously made me cry.
I needed this today.
Sometimes faith is hard to have and keep but it definately pays off
Please understand that I have a relationship with Jesus Christ because of the LDS church. I was agnostic before the missionaries taught me the gospel. I was raised in a different church, but I always had so many unanswered questions. The most important thing we can do is listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost. Anyone can say anything. Only the Holy Ghost can testify truth and help us distinguish truth and fiction.
mrscardon thank you for sharing
mrscardon Well said!! Thank you!
I enjoyed your testimonieand the holy spirit testified to me that you had just spoken and testified that you was speaking by and with that power and of jesus the christ
What one of your questions. I can help answer them
"Be patient with yourself. Perfection comes not in this life, but in the next life. Don't demand things that are unreasonable, but demand of yourself improvement. As you let the Lord help you through that, He WILL make the difference."
Thank you. 🙂
AMEN!!!
"Perfection comes not in this life but in the next life" it feels like im motivated through this word i may not be perfect but heavenly father and lord will help me 🙏🏻
I can't express how much I needed to hear this. My world has been so full of fear and sadness lately. Recently I lost my grandfather and this summer my dad was diagnosed with lymphoma in the same week that my grandmother was diagnosed with leukemia. I'm only sixteen but I have had to become more of an adult than I would like. The last few months have been especially hard for me when I've felt most alone. I now realize that all I need is to lean on the Lord as I one knew how when I was little.
The airplane story in this video reminds me of the story Jeffrey R Holland told about the missionary from Idaho in LA finding his brother and most of Paul H Dunn's stories.
You found a much better way of saying it than I would have thought of.
I also am not Mormon, but this message impacts those of all religions and it is a message that i really needed to hear in this time of my life, thank you
I am in tears because my son fell away from all of the good things I tried to teach him. He's 19 and I wanted him to go on a mission to bring truth to the world. This is the Lord's work and I testify of that. But the story is not over for my son because this work is true and he will see it one day. My heart will not fail me because I trust in the strong arm of God. I am thankful to the missionaries and pray that if you are an investigator you'll listen and feel the Spirit of God as they teach.
Our prophet understands that we may have wayward children, no matter their age and it is heart breaking. I only have to think of our Heavenly Parents to see what pain they must have felt when Lucifer wanted to force us home and keep the glory and then Adam and Eve's child, and then yours and mine. We are not alone but remember although we pray and fast on their behalf and have their names on temple prayer roll they are free to choose for themselves. We need patience and strength from the Lord and to let them know of our deep love for them x
We lost our son a couple years ago. He was inactive and had fallen into an environment he couldn’t get out of. Although he was inactive, he never forgot his testimony amongst the nonsense that surrounded him. I’m sure he’s teaching in heaven now and embracing the things he found impossible to embrace in this world. Our Heavenly Father and our Savior never gives up on us. .. and so you shouldn’t either. Keep the faith, keep praying and never give up hope.
Do not give up on your son! I have two sons; both served honorable missions, the oldest is now serving as a bishop for the second time but his brother's wife is a wonderful woman but not a spiritual person so he no longer participates. While he may have left activity in the church, his gospel background has not left him. His wife has serious health conditions but has volunteered in many organizations over the years to less the lives of others and he is very supportive of her and what she does. God still has both of them in His sights and his Dad and I don't worry about either of them.
Havenly Father sent me a child that went off the deep end. I didn't give up. I loved her and supported her to the best of my abilities. She's 33 and just recently took out her endowments. The adversary had a great deal of influence over her. 1 child out of wedlock. Another preganacy with a marriage. Their struggles together has been epic. Through it all I have been there. Your son was been sent to you because Heavenly Father KNOWS, YOU are the best and most loving mother he will ever have. Doubts will come. I found reading my Book of Mormon every night before bed along with prayer really eased my heart and gave me more strength to be there for her. If I was really tired I would read 1 verse in place of a full chapter. Please read about Alma and his story of conversion. Say your prayers even in the most quiet and secret part of your heart for his GRACE to Strengthen you because I can guarantee that Heavenly Father has something wonderful for your son to accomplish and he will be able to do this because YOU ARE HIS MOTHER!! May the Lord bless and protect you and your son. May the Lord's countenance shine upon you both and give you peace.
Or, you could accept that your son has chosen a different path for himself. And maybe that’s not the path you would choose for
Him but that’s just it- he’s not you and he needs to find what is best for him. The Mormon people seem to think they have the only way to happiness. That is just not the case for the majority of the world. Accept and love him unconditionally no matter what path he chooses - that’s how parents and families should be
I am not a Mormon, or religious at all, for that matter, but what an inspiring message. It reminds those of us even without faith that we always have something to keep us going.
such good counsel. Prepare yourselves for General Conference. There is no better time to listen to a Prophets voice.
Just a kid... I cried my heart out.... I'm 10.... 😪
Wow now you’re 18. Time sure does fly.
This video is the reason I got baptized. I wasn't sure President Nelson was the prophet, then I stumbled upon this video by pure accident, and it was God answering all my prayers and doubts.
Hi James, thank you for sharing your testimony and experience. We're glad you're here!
Yes my brother in Christ. Heavenly Father listens and answers all our prayers. I am so happy that you found the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
Love our church! Modern Day revelation is the best!
I agree completely with president Nelson thumbs up if you agree too.
Thank You President Nelson. I felt like you were talk... to me.
i watch this when i need a little boost! get something new every time i watch it.
How wonderful is Gods love! And the Saviors atonement... I honestly don't know what I would do without this gospel. Remember what is important and keep an eternal perspective. This life is too short. Make sure you keep God in your life so your heart doesn't fail you.
Don't forget your identity or purpose. I Love this message, I am continually filled with hope every time I get the chance to listen to this :)
Be thankful in who you are today because that could all change tomorrow everyone pray and love everyone
I needed this today I’ve had a hard day and have had so much stress and anxiety. This helped so much it has calmed me and helped me be less worried. Thank you President Nelson.
Hope that things are a better today :) I know it’s been a year, but God loves you :) He will help you :)
Hope you are doing well. Heavenly Father answers prayers ask and you shall receive.
I loved this video. It teaches where we can go to for peace.Throughout the video I felt peace and it brought me to tears that the Savior Jesus Christ would give me that peace .
It is possible to be calm. The Holy Ghost is the comforter. Elder Nelson was a heart surgeon by profession. He's seen death occur. If a certain set of circumstances presents, it is inevitable. Death is simply the separation of the spirit and the body. Elder Nelson could feel the Holy Ghost. He has the faith to live his life with an attitude of "Thy will be done". So it is possible not to fear. May we all strive to acquire the same degree of faith.
After what happened today, I needed to hear that. President Russel M. Nelson truly is a prophet of God. Thank you!
I love this. I love him and I love Him.
I love Elder Nelson :) He was in my home ward through high school until our ward split. He is such a powerful speaker and a wonderful man inside and out. I only pray I can be as faithful as he is and to have that kind of strength.
Mormon messages are always great to listen to before you start reading the Scriptures.
Sometimes I need something visual and audible instead of reading. c:
Thanks for sharing this message.
I read Luke 21 after watching this. This message has touched my heart. Thank you for making this.
It reminds me of the hymn "Where can I turn for peace." The verse that stands out to me in that song is Where can I turn for peace when other sources ceased to make me whole." This story of Elder Nelson is a great example, of how in trouble times, but also in times of sunshine, that we have the power of prayer to commune with our heavenly father. He is always ready to answers our prayers, we need to just communicate with him. I testify of that, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Amen
Precious because is true!!!! Thanks for posting it!
beautiful!
I had wet eyes watching this. Truly, Elder Nelson is an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit just reached out and touched me and confirmed the truth of what he was saying. I thank Heavenly Father for the restoration and the fullness of the Gospel in these latter days.
Wow, what a comforting message.
This can definitely apply to these days during this current world health crisis.
I needed to see that
"Be patient with yourself." So much kindness in that simple statement.
Thank you Elder Nelson! Trully we are blessed to have such an amazing servant among us.
Such a beautiful message, no matter what the circumstances I have had many in my life like so many others, when I ask for Gods help I get through it. 2 instances which were life changing. Both times I was brought to places of healing and getting closer to God. The last one which was 5/2010 I was found after an angel next door was there to assist, I ended up in the hosp for 2 months and long recovery but I am grateful just to be alive! Thank You Jesus for listening! I am sooo blessed!
We all need to hear this...right now especially. Thank you President Nelson. ❤
This is my favorite of the Mormon Messages.
He is not wrong, this is the true Church of Jesus Christ.
"Allows me strength through these tumultuous times" :) Trust the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understands ~ Proverbs 3:5
This is one of my favorite videos! I love the Gospel❤️❤️❤️
I the other night was praying. And I sometimes have intrusive thoughts, and when it gets bad, I begin to worry very much and I cry uncontrollably. And the other night I was having one of those panics, and I asked the lord to help me see his light. And this came up. Thank you so much, I feel a lot better. And I know I should trust the lord.
Thanks for sharing, you're not alone and I hope you're feeling better!
I totally totally understand this so much! We are never alone!
I understand you and know you’re not alone. We love you and the adversary is working hard to put fear into our minds and hearts. Trust in the Lord and he will give you peace.
@@julianabradfordmusic I feel the same way. It’s good to know I am not alone.
Fear comes from Satan... And clearly Satan has no power over Elder Nelson. There is nothing wrong with not being scared of death if you know where you're going.. I'm a Mormon, I know it, I love it, I live it.. and I KNOW the living Christ is our Savior and Redeemer..
Satan is a figment if your imagination and ignorance. He’s a story. Prove me wrong.
Levi Fisk There is no way that I know of to prove any of it. You will find out the truth and have your “proof” eventually, when you finally meet your Maker and when He then sends you to be with Satan.
If you honestly want “proof”, then read The Book of Mormon and find out for yourself.
Matlauk Yes, you will be.
Thank you Tyler
Great testimony! Thank You Dear Jesus!
"If you've got enough Faith you can handle difficulties knowing that with an eternal perspective that all will be well"
Oh how thankful I am for this gospel. I really needed this tonight. I love my Father in Heaven. He really does watch over all of us.
Modern apostle lift my heart once again. Thank you! my faith get more stronger as I've watch the video.
Thank you.
That is the power of peace, thank you President Nelson ❤
I found this video at a time in my life when I really needed it, NOW. (lol) thank you, sharing!!!!
this is exactly what I needed to hear right this moment, thank-you Heavenly Father for sending me the words of Elder Nelson, one of our Lord's apostles.
I am so grateful for the gospel! Thank you Lord my saviour!
That plane landing safely was nothing short of a miracle from our Heavenly Father... He can do all things and I believe he had a purpose and plan for every single person on that flight! Amen.
Most wonderful message and the one I truly needed now. Thank you President Nelson. You are truly a prophet.
Sophie, thank you for your comment!
2:20 ... This message came at a very much needed time. :)
This is a beautiful video I loved the calm feeling in his voice.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ truly does bring peace in the midst of chaos - He is the Prince of Peace and Elder Nelson is one of His messengers!
Bryan
I really needed this message. Thank you for posting it. It is so important to hold fast to Hope.
Keep hoping :) God loves you and will help you along the way :)
Yes it sure is, very well said.
Wow. I needed this. Beautiful video
If I haven't already started crying before 3:07...for some reason the image of President Nelson quietly sitting there, unafraid to die, with the soft music playing in the background, always reduces me to tears
Amen, don't you just love this amazing man??? Because i sure do...
My heart rejoices and feels so much gratitude because I have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. But more than that!! I strive to LIVE it!! That's where my peace comes from - daily striving to live it! 😊
Wow, as a missionary in the MTC, this is so powerful to me. The quote that hit me is "Don't demand things that are unreasonable...demand of yourself: improvement"
I absolutely love Russell M. Nelson.
Really love these short videos. Especially this one. So pertinent in these times.
I always get goosebumps. I can't even believe how true this is. I forget all the time my purpose and identity and fear for when I will meet my maker. I just love the comfort I get from knowing that it's okay to forget sometimes. Somehow the Lord always seems to know just what I need to hear. What an incredible blessing it is. Thank you a hundred times over.
ps-Can you imagine what insights are in that set of scriptures? I just love Elder Nelson.
In President Nelson’s biography by Sheri Dew called “Insights”, she includes an additional insight (pun intended) that Pres Nelson gave her when talking about this experience. He noted that the main reason for his peace of mind was that he had been sealed to his wife and children and knew that he had kept his covenants. That knowledge, combined with his strong underlying faith, gave him an absolute assurance of where he would go if in fact the plane did crash. I did not know about this experience until I read about it in his biography, and it REALLY impacted me because I know I would have reacted much more like the woman beside him, because I am not yet prepared to meet God. I now have much more resolve to become fully prepared than I have had in decades - thank you Pres Nelson for your shining example to me personally and indeed to all of mankind!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and "insights"!
I love this gospel; the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and I love his prophets....We do indeed Thank Thee oh God for a prophet, to guide us in these latter days, when perilous times can happen around the world and our faith is tested
I thank thee for a prophet
Thou has chosen to lead
Thy sons & daughters
For this genaretion💕
I was feeling pretty low today. This video was just what I needed to see. Thank you!
Beautiful! Can I like this a million times?!:)
Thank you for this beautiful message.
This is a wonderful message. Thank you Elder Nelson for your faith, testimony and service. May the Lord continue to bless you and the Brethren for your continuously faithful service.
I believe in Jesus Christ. I know he is my Savior. I have read the New Testament.. and the Old testament, and I believe them to be the word of God. These men are not coming between me and Christ, they are helping me come closer to Him.
I can testify that this is true. I love who I have had the opportunity to become, those that I have had the chance to help. Grateful for the opportunities I've had. Happy that I have the chance to live. Proud to be a Latter-Day Saint.
"Com what may, and love it" :) Praise the Lord for sending His apostles to lead us in these last days!
Don't know why, but i started tearing up listening to this
hygeia54 it was the Holy Spirit witnessing to you that what he was saying was true. God bless!
The Holy Ghost is leading you to the truth and is inviting you to be part of it. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint is true and does teach the truthful gospel of Christ.
Watching this while reading “Insights by Cheri L Dew” makes me happy and strengthens my hope and faith.
Thank you President Nelson, that's just what I needed to hear. Two weeks ago I thought I was a fit and healthy 60 year old. One heart attack and 3 stents later, it's time out for a while. Time to count my blessings, I will always be grateful for good parents who invite the missionaries into their home, all those years ago. Grateful for all the prayers that have been said for me and my family. Acknowledging the Lord's hand in your life and fear will fly away.
Thanks for sharing your experience and insight, David. Take care!
It's really nice to see videos like this on youtube. Very refreshing and peaceful
So i've been stressing out about finals for the past couple of days now. My brother was the head of his class in school and i am on my way there but i have been taking college classes recently which have made schooling difficult for me. I rushed home and was completely stressed out when i decided to turn on a mormon message and it was this one. "Perfection comes in the next life". that automatically calmed me down. Thank you heavenly father :)
Great message from a great man. I’m always wary of the “fear merchants” among us.
Thank you for allowing us to share these wonderful messages.
“Perfection comes not this life, but in the next life.” - Russell M. Nelson
I love this, one of my favorites
