This could not have come at a better time. The Lord truly knows our needs. ❤️
Hang in there Jessica! I'm on the same journey and our faith will see us through.
God will render to each person 🚶♀🚶♂according to their deeds
(Romans 2 : 6)
For he who Does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done (Co|ossians 3 : 25)
Love your Enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you & pray for those who mistreat you.( Luke 6:27-28 )
God says do not speak evil of no one, avoid quarrelling, to be gentle, & to show perfect courtesy toward all people.( Titus 3:2 )
God likes gentle people (1 Peter 3:3-4)
Jesus, said, “Hear, o Israel: The Lord 0ur God, the Lord Is 0ne ( NOT 3) ( Mark 12 : 29 - 31)
Amen!
@@maryeve3984 Jesus said, "your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 6:1)
God said, "This is my beloved Son". (Matthew 3:17)
A voice with an image said, "he put no trust in his servants". (Job 4:18)
The Bible never says God, Jesus, and The Spirit are one physical person.
I will strive to love the Lord more than I love the things of the world.
What a blessing to hear from prophets and apostles of God. A much needed reminder for me in this time!
yes, this is part of the little guidance we have in this turbulent life
i am a Muslim. I love Jesus Christ, verily verily he was a true prophet of God and the messiah. I'm waiting for his return....
Appreciate this comment brother.
I love him too Shehroze!
Jesus was never a prophet. Jesus was God’s Son.
@@nbafan3021 Define Prophet: who who has Authority by Priesthood and power by the Holy Ghost, who is given by God what message he is to deliver (and to whom); Jesus was a Prophet as well as being the Son of God.
@@nbafan3021 regardless of your belief, your comment was completely unnecessary to this man's wonderful comment to this video. You might rethink your missionary technics
This message is far more relevant and important than most folks will realize. Distraction rules our world in 2022. Even if you're not Christian, this video has great truths to live by for all. I'm sure the same types of principles exist in most all religions of the world. Following Christ, perhaps above all, means to love and care for others around you... something that seems to be a fleeting theme in our increasingly volatile society. 😞 I hope to be at least a little better than yesterday after having watched this...I hope you choose to strive for the same. 🙂
We appreciate your comment. Thank you!
Faith moves mountains. God bless.
La
it's true. I feel this constant empty in my heart. and I know that is because I love these more than my Lord
@@choosetheright4403 Keep trying! Keep striving! Pray for change of heart and to feel God's love for you! Join with others who support faith and repentance and join them in serving others! I have heart to be changed and repentance and good and better works to do too. Try to love yourself and be patient with yourself the same way the Lord does and is. Something I am grateful to feel in my heart and to feel committed to is that I won't quit working and trying to be like Jesus; I won't quit until I too possess His perfect love and have been fully washed in His blood and love! Love your RUclips name! Just sent a prayer for these for you. :)
Lord almighty God I love you more than anything in this hole world lod I thank u for giving me strength to alway forgive as God forgave me thank u lord.jesus christ for waken me to see another beautiful day and to always be a help to others I am thankful lord.jesus for your blessings on me and my family I praise u father lord u r and awesome God without u lord.jesus I can not make it I love u Jesus thank u for guiding me each and every day thank u lord.jesus amen amen

Trust in our Savior Jesus Christ, He loves us !! He atoned for our sins, he wants to forgive us and save us 👍🏻✝️
Yes exactly, The Savior loves us👍🏻✝️
He loves us with the purest, most unchanging love :)

I love you Jesus
Thank You Lord Almighty for Always Being available for us, Amen . ❤✨
I love this. A great reminder to always persevere through these tumultuous times. Thank you😊
Takes patience 👍🏻✝️
Thoughtful and thank you
Wish you were still here Jesus
The world is not the same without you Jesus
The world is in darkness without your light Jesus
I used to be so distracted by social media and video games that I had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Now, I've come to believe that the only way to find out is to allow God to direct my life, and I believe He is directing me toward serving a mission. As I put more focus on God, He helps mold me into a better person, and He can do the same to all that seek Him.
Lord I don’t want to love things more than I love you lord continue to teach me oh lord.🙏🙌🏾🥰❤️😇
Jesus is christ holy he died for us on the cross ✝️ 🙏
Thank You, Elder Ballard! Too often I try to justify my isolation due to a debilitating disease. But, when I reach out and minister to others, I feel my burden and my spirit being lifted even more than the souls I am trying to lift. It feels like stepping out of dimness into bright, happy Son-light:) Truly His power is amazing.
Certain things I love more than Him, while I Love Him more than certain things.
Working on the things I love more than Him.
May allahs peace and mercy be upon jesus
Thank you, this answered a prayer of mine. Almost in the very instant that I asked it.
Thank you for your prayer. We have all benefited from His response. I needed this today.
a beautiful thought and a good reflection.
On scarce few occasions have I laughed harder, learned better, felt stronger, known better my weakness, heard others more clearly, understood more wholly, or spoken my testimony more sincerely... than when I was doing work for another.
En este mundo tan ajetreado y con dificultades es necesario ser más sensibles. Muchas gracias por el mensaje 🙂
André, gracias por sintonizar y por su comentario.
I know that president Ballard is a true apostle of Jesus Christ, and is a living example of putting God first in his life, as well as showing great love for our spiritual brothers and sisters around the world!
Lessons like this are why I keep going. Thank you for this.
We should love God more than anything in this world,even more than our parents and well wishers !!
He has sacrificed His beloved son,Jesus Christ,that whosoever believeth in Him,shall never perish but have eternal life.Greater love than this,no one has !! Through Him alone radiates eternal glory.His grace and glory sustains us forever !!
Hence,we should love Him more than anything !!
Thanks for sharing !! 🙏✝️❤️
Amen! I love the Lord so much! "More than these"☺️
Just what I needed this morning. Thank you🧡
Choosing to let go of things that are of the world is very very very hard, but when we do we truly find Christ! Christ is the key to everything! If you are lost or struggling right now, do not give up hope, it will get better. I promise you Christ knows you and will be with you through it all!
Thank you for that message Elder Ballard
This is I want! 😍 😍😍😍
Living in Israel in so Peaceful.....
Listening to the calm waters......
Inhaling the Fresh Air......

When the Savior calls us, do we rush to follow Him?
Peace live in JESUS CHRIST 🙏🙏🙏
Jesus has given us all the greatest gift of all eternal life thank you Jesus
This is exactly what I needed to hear!!
Lord I love you 😍 more than anything❤❤❤
Great lesson.
Blessed be the holy name🙏🏾
He really does know our needs and wants and our thoughts 💬🤔🧐💭 and our feelings.
I love my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ more than anyone else! You have to because no one else has or can suffer for our sins and save us, as long as we keep His commandments. Then we will have eternal life
You will have eternal life by grace throgh faith. Plus nothing.
Amen, He is The Only Good. Praise, Might snd Glory be to Lord Jesus forever
I go to church and I love God he’s my father in heaven and I love him very very much❤
And he said Love thu parents and listen to their commands
I feel so much love when I serve others - even if it's service that goes unseen. I know, in those moments, that my Heavenly Father is helping me feel His love when doing acts of kindness for His children. Thank you for this message and reminder.
Thank you for sharing!
That is why because Jesus is spirit of the prophecy everything
God is true I love you Jesus
HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH AMEN and AMEN, AMEN. Thanks so much. JESUS CHRIST is LORD AMEN. SHALOM.
I'm starting to realize how much Christ supports me every single day. I should put the phone down more and spend more time with him.
Thank thee lord for your teachings and thank you church for missionaries & great disciples!
this world is full of heartache
I am so blessed that i have god in my life , and thankfull in many ways ...
"My peace I give unto you...." i feel like this messages was given for such a time as this, with so much mental distress in the world today
Wow. How relevant, timely, and much needed! Lately, I have gotten caught up in the whirlwind of the cares of the world through social media. This is a reminder of how to stay grounded in Christ always. Thank you so very much for this message!!! God bless you.
Hi Alexandria, we appreciate your comment. Thank you!
Every time I see videos by this channel I always feel the spirit's comforting light.
Thanks for the video, I needed this❤
Absolutely beautiful ♥️
These 3 words " Lovest Thou Me" are my call to action . To Answer my Lord in seeing the need of my soul and those around me....I do Lord with every breath
I can boldly testify that as we members strive our very best to listing or heed to the councils of our beloved leaders the Savior Jesus Christ has chosen for as as our mortal life in preparing for His coming we will be save. But if we don't we will be cut off base on what Elder M.Russell Ballard has taught as it simple and clear to the understanding of both old and young. This is what I know to be true.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful message with us ❤ we love and sustain you President Ballard 🥰🥰🥰🥰 May Heavenly Father continues to bless you with health and strength 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Amen
Jesus said, "Ask and you shall receive," which is my own testimony. That is, raised by an atheist, I heard the gospel for the first time at age 17. Shortly thereafter, I walked onto the lawn of a church on night, looked up at the steeple, and prayed my first prayer, "Is there Jesus? I would like to meet Him!" When I met Christ, all heaven filled my soul and it felt like my heart was made out of gold. I have been great friends with Christ ever since.
Conversely, mormons teach that baptism is necessary for salvation. That said, in 45 years, I have not had even one second of doubt that I know the Lord and am bound for heaven - not even for a second. The Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." Yet, mormons teach, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord and is baptized might be saved." Which is the true gospel? Paul wrote that whoever preaches a different gospel should be accursed. You cannot say that I did not warn you!
Christ died on a Cross so that, just by asking, we can know God. Adding any other condition to being saved is to pollute the pure beauty of the gospel. Jesus Christ is the light of the world
Hi Ken,
I'm happy for you that you came to learn about Jesus Christ, and his love for you. I do respectfully disagree with what you say about members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and baptism.
Jesus Christ himself taught us that baptism is essential so that we can live with him, and loved ones that choose to accept the ordinance of baptism in heaven forever. After Christ's resurrection he instructed his disciples:
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
-Matthew 28:19-20
Baptism is symbolic of a spiritual rebirth going into the grave, and coming forth as a new creature, or like being born again like a child that has just been born, and has had the blood and amniotic fluid cleaned of of him or her.
Christ also taught Nicodemus the importance of baptism. Christ was also baptized by John to fulfill all righteousness.
I hope this helps clarify some misunderstanding about why Christians, which includes members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, believe in baptism as being essential to entering into the kingdom of heaven.
God bless you brother!
Hi again Ken,
Not only are we commanded by Jesus Christ himself that we need baptism to enter into the kingdom of heaven, but also he commanded us to keep his commandments, which includes daily repentance, but also to love our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind. And the second greatest one which is to love our neighbors as we should love ourselves.
"If ye love me, keep my commandments."
-John 14:15
Jesus directly says to Simon Peter to "feed his sheep," which means to show love for our spiritual brothers and sisters by choosing to bless their lives. (John 21:15-17)
If we say what we accept Christ with our lips only, but choose not to love him and our neighbor as ourselves, we are being hypocritical, because we are pretending to love him, but are not being faithful to him and his commandments, so therefore our "faith" is fake.
Have a good day brother, and God bless you to have joy in Christ.
💛When God and Jesus are the centers of our lives everything else falls into place.
Amen. Thank you for this beautiful message
Thank God and you. What this elder says is to love Jesus more than what the secular world gives us. It means to me that God loves us more than what the world has. Thank God and you again. Hallelujah!!
Jesus you are my everything
Truth has been restored! Great message.
Thank you 🙏
I needed this💕
Love you Jesus❤❤❤
Wonderful
calmed my soul before bedtime
I just had a prompting this Tuesday September 27, 2022 to tell everyone. Be ready. This meeting will be very important and we need to prepare in every way possible. This Conference CANNOT be missed in any way.
What a beautiful video and at a time when it was needed most .
Thank you , Jesus ❤️
This is beautiful ❤️
I can testify without a shadow of a doubt that this is absolutely and irrefutably true. For the longest time up until very recently I’ve lived my life constantly focusing on worldly distractions such as video games and the internet. It’s taken me all my life to finally realize what a waste those things can be when we become addicted to them. I’ve noticed how when I reduce those distractions I spend more time exercising, spending time with my family, and most importantly actually taking the time and genuine effort to strengthen my personal relationship with God via scripture study and listening to conference talks. There are golden calves everywhere and it’s up to you whether you chose to worship them or not.
Thus is an actual ansewers to a prayer I haf last night
I love you Jésus you are king of m'y life
This is a beautiful message! Every day is a decision to love God more than this world. It’s beautiful that we can always strive to be better.
I just love this and am trying harded to love to Lord more than the things of this world.
Love yourself more than these? I have put other things before the Lord. I made a decision the choice to put the Lord first. Amen
I know the lord loves me 😃🙏 And i love him He died for us because he love us I love god and jesus
That one is perfect, encourage more
🌻🎊Have a Super Day!🎊🌻
God is the best
Amen ✝️❤️😇
Thank you 🙏
I've heard this one and it was fantastic before and it's still fantastic, I will be trying to get back to church this Sunday for sure I just set up a ride with metro mobility.
Hi Corwin, thank you for tuning in and sharing your comment. We hope you know you are loved and needed, and always welcome at church. Visit comeuntochrist.org?cid=42001274 to find a Church unit or meetinghouse near you, or to request a visit from missionaries.
Thank you Elder Ballard
Thank you for the beautiful messages. Right now m facing for much challenges in my life. Joblessness, without gf, lost my dad to covid and depression. But I will never lose my hope on Christ.❤God is good all the time. All the time God is good.
Focus on things that are Eternal
THANK YOU 💕❤
Thank you!! Well said, and it hit the spot!! Social media has it’s place, but we really need the first. If social media gets us together, that’s great!! But too much is too much if we ignore others. Same with other personal activities. Older siblings have their lives, but that’s no excuse to ignore each other. There is time for both.
I long to come home Lord
God bless you 🙏😇⬜
Love this channel and the videos it has helped me a lot in my life thank you God bless you and yes I livest him more than the world 🙏✝️
I am here in south africa I'm in the south African branch im in the Johannesburg ward in the church of jesus christ of latter day saints
This popped up on my recommended at the absolute perfect time
God is our help indeed
Take time to serve others and remember that you are representing Jesus in whatever you do for the least of your brothers or sisters.
Great message
Very good timing
I never regret clicking on the material from this channel 😊 so good, always
Thank you
I'm grateful that you continue to produce these even though they may not be viewed by as many people as they once were.
I am one of the people who continually view these videos, and I need them, and I am thankful that they are still being made. I am sure this is true of many of the others who still view these videos, as well.
Ever since the pandemic has started, I have been staying home from Church, and still continue to stay home even despite the Churches being open again… it hasn't felt like the right moment to start returning to church has come yet.
I guess I am still needed at home, as every Sunday I'm helping my mom, who also has not returned, with something around the house, whether it be making lunch, getting something done to make a dent in the dumpster-fire disaster of a mess the house is in, or helping my mom when she needs it.
In the meantime, I have been regularly watching these videos, letting the Lord put the videos on my homepage when I need it, or on occasion, even guiding me through the ever-shifting maze of RUclips's algorithm to bring me to the video I need. It has helped immensely to get through these last few years, and I am grateful these videos are still being produced.
Thank you, all you who put work into these Church videos, and all you who run the channel.
We have been going to church a lot this year. I am going to church whenever i can and put everything else on hold for the time being. One of these days we won't get to go to church anymore, so I'm going to take advantage of all I can at this time. Just waiting for the big Whopper plague that will keep everyone home. Food storage is better than having money in the bank. I don't even have to go to town for a week or so if I don't want to. I watch these videos all week long and music. I am grateful for these devotions. I'm glad we're not back in 1800s, thank God for technology and the greatest church leaders chosen by our Lord to lead us in these last days, it is a real miracle that we get to experience all of this now. The Lord will let our leaders know what the next move will be. Thank God for a prophet.
Hi Damariobros,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and your example with us. No pressure, but I think it would be a good idea to make very small goals about going back to church, and be consistent. For example you and your mom could just show up for sacrament meeting for a short time, and see how you feel. If going to additional meetings is too much right now, you can go home, and try to go back to church the next week. You can then decide if you want to go a little longer or not. During the week, when no one's at the church, just go and walk up to the doors really close. Pray for help to be able to go back to church. If you feel up to it meet with your bishop for a few minutes, and tell him how you feel. He will probably be loving and supportive. I've had times in my life when I wasn't attending church, but I felt a great feeling of peace and God's love when I choose to return. I didn't feel like Heavenly Father was disappointed with me for spending so much time away from church, but was instead very happy that I choose to return.
God bless you and your family!
Hi, thank you for tuning in. We're glad you're here!
