@AutumnDickson I know through the power of the Holy Ghost & my love for Heavenly Father & Our Savior & all that they have blessed me to know... The things I would let go... & move on with... 🤍✌️😇 to ready myself to be well worthy to be able to be blessed with those promises we were born & raised in this church to know 💓✌️😇🙏... & I like how you said... I would be in the Temple a whole lot more 🤍🏩🙏🙇♂️... Me too... listening & paying all attention (as I strive to do) to what Heavenly revelations I may be blessed to hopefully prayerfully hear through thee power of thee Holy Ghost how I am doing as we get closer to the 2nd comming... & listening to every church talk & everything that the prophet Pres Nelson has for us to know!!! I love how you said... I believe in a Savior who will come again... He didn't all that Thee Father wanted of him 🤍🫂✌️🙏 I do as well!!!!!
@@leonardalcalaii9277 What a beautiful testimony! Thank you for sharing! It really is important to consider how our perspectives would shift if we thought we had a deadline, and it was close.
@AutumnDickson One thing I do know... In my heart, spirit & heartfelt soul... I know as members of Thee Church... I should already be ready for thee Savior to come... like our church leaders always do there... hearfelt all to reminds us... I know... & I keep on trying & serving & striving to humbly do my best... I remember a great BYU talk by N. Eldon Tanner once said... "We should never act like we have already arived"... ✌️😇 Thank Heavenly Father & Our Heavenly Savior Jesus Christ for thee priceless gift above all gifts Thee Atonement of JESUS CHRIST 🤍✌️😇🙏 Best of wishes & blessings to you & your husband & families ✌️😇🙏
@AutumnDickson Thank youuuu soo much for taking the time & hard work efforts getting ready & getting your video perfected going through the lessons we are studying & barring witness of your steadfast testimony 💓✌️😇🙏 I hope that your husband Brother Dickson or President Dickson whatever his calling is, is soooo proud of you & it would be neat to see him share his thoughts & in discussion as well sometime with you too ✌️😇🤍
Just Brother Dickson :) That could be fun! I'll have to consider it. I had never thought to include him, but he has taught me a lot about the gospel on a very meaningful level. He's got a lot to share, but being on camera isn't his favorite thing ever so I'd have to find a way to convince him to try it haha
@AutumnDickson That is sooo cool what you shared about your firm in theee faith husband Brother Dickson ✌️😇 Sooo good to know that Heavenly Father's blessed you with a great example & a true to thee heart felt died in the wool blue strong member husband ✌️😇 that you both can be blessed to during life's many different roads & experiences you both got each other's backs in faith to talk & learn & look forward to all Heavenly Father's promises as you both exercise your faith sealed together forever no matter what happens ✌️😇 That is sooo awesome ✌️😇 I am from the Anaheim Lincoln Ward & live close to Disneyland ✌️😇 lol
@AutumnDickson That is soooooo awesome that Brother Dickson proposed to you in a super special way at Disneyland ✌️😇🎆 I used to work for a airbnb member of our church owned & some operated that own several homes by us Disneyland... Did you stay in one of the many local hotels or... I bet you two had the best of times together especially after both knowing you two were going to get married in thee Temple ✌️😇🏩🎆
Thank you much for the videos - I would add some logistics- Samuel said 5 years would pass then the sign would be given - with time the lord rarely gives exact times - that was given before the end of 86 year The unbelievers thought it five years to the day but it was 5 more years then the sign - which would be 87 88 89 90 91 - then the sign would come and it did before the 92. With such a straight prophecy we get it wrong - I remind myself that whatever I may think I’m probably incorrect. I think it important to review those conference talks as we may not have heard all that we thought. Follow the prophet Prepare physically/spiritually/ emotionally which most did not hear.😊
Fascinating to think about! There definitely are misinterpretations so often, and it also never occurred to me that they missed the most important message of all! We do tend to hyperfocus on that five years rather than on the most important messages.
Hello again, I loved this one!! The first thing that jumped out to me was a new insight on preserve and protect. Samuel was preserved and protected. Through repentance, Zarahemla would be preserved and protected and was at that time being preserved and protected by a small number of righteous individuals and families (Heleman 13:12). Our personal righteousness can go a long way in preserving and protecting ourselves as well as people and places around us. I loved your pretend exercise --- if the 2nd coming were to be coming 5 years (from whenever) ...... and what would that look like for us personally, what we do and how would we feel? This weekend was our Stake Conference and our Stake President must have watched this during the week, because last night he talked about being "anxiously engaged" (D&C 58:27) and related that to being how we felt on Christmas eve, which was a profound insight for me. Or, since your examples of the last month of school, or packing for a Cruise (I LOVE cruises) were very similar, perhaps you were both being taught by the same Holy Spirit!! :) Thanks for more blessings this week.
I actually also taught Sunday School this week for the youth, and we talked about what it means to be protected by the Lord. I asked them if Samuel had been hit by an arrow, fell off the wall, and survived whether it would still count as "protected." They were all ready to jump in and say yes. Then I asked them about Abinadi, the Willie and Martin and Handcart Company, etc. Those ones threw them a little bit more. It led to a really great discussion about what it truly means to be protected by the Lord. Hah it definitely sounds like the Spirit likes to teach the same doctrine ;) glad you found some divine correlation there!
Hello, More teaching opportunities!! I'm not surprised 1 bit. Sounds like you've found an excellent way to love and serve! You gave some great discussion questions about what it means to be preserved. Here are my thoughts on Abinadi. His life was definitely preserved until he had fully warned wicked King Noah & his priests. Then, after sealing his testimony in such a painful way, he was preserved from future pain & suffering as a mortal. Yes, with a little practice, Divine Correlation shows up everywhere. :) Best wishes always.
@@dgt8467 I think we came to the conclusion that being protected by the Lord means that He will enable us to do everything we're supposed to do, that nothing will be permanently taken away, and that our happy ending is safe with Him. He was most certainly protected!
I couldn't agree more. Larry Richman quoted Apostle Orson F. Whitney (1855-1931) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. “No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God … and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire.” Learning through Life's Trials BYU-Idaho October 30 2007
