Alma 4-7 | The "Samuel Principle" and Cleansing the Inner Vessel | Come Follow Me | Lesson 24

  • Since the beginning of the Restoration, Latter-day prophets have spoken boldly against fallen and carnal aspects of our society, culture, and personal lives. The 20th century saw a rejection of many of these teachings and, in the words of Ezra Taft Benson, a lesser portion of the word was given. Are we prepared to learn of and remember these forgotten teachings?
    The Nephite church also struggled with pride and prophetic rejection. Rather than a dead form of religion, Alma taught the Nephites that we must truly be born again to overcome the effects of the Fall and the natural man. After being born of the Spirit, we must be continually renewed and progressively changed until we become like Jesus Christ and receive His image in our countenance. Regeneration through the Atonement and the Spirit of the Lord is the very heart of the Gospel for active members and all others.
    What have prophets taught us to change? Are we ready to accept redemption? The answers are simpler than we think!

    Thank you so much for sharing this info on birth control. I have been and still stand against birth control for decades, and here our prophets talked about it decades ago. I was not aware of this because I was not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but the prophets instruction, somehow, must have reached me spiritually. I became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2012.

    Good examples, very valid points. The Word of Wisdom is a great one to look at. As members, we don't smoke, drink alcohol, coffee, or tea, or take recreational drugs and so we tell our bishop that we keep this law, even though there's a lot more to it than those few things. And plenty of people outside of the Church know it and mock us for it.
    I even had a Sunday School teacher that claimed that a late prophet said that 'eat meat sparingly' meant no more than once a day.

    Incredible message and inspiring call to change! Well done, Hannah! This message needs to be shared with every Latter- day Saint! We all can do better and be better! We all need to repent! Thanks for a wonderful, compassionate reminder of our need of being spiritually reborn, at whatever level we are at!
    Establishing Zion starts with our individual desire to change and become a Zion person.

    Thank you for this episode. I have long contemplated the consequences of our blending in with the world so much, especially now when we are losing so many of our children to worldly philosophies.
    Not to be a Philosrine, but when you mention "birth control", I assume you are alluding to ingested hormones -I agree. However, to not have any options for a couple when the wife can not physically or mentally endure constant pregnancy, I am grateful that even David O. McKay encouraged the members to pray for inspiration in handling these sensitive issues because total abstinance as the only recourse has bad side effects as well.
    Thank you for the diligence and hardworking that goes into presenting these episodes!

      There were several narratives against plural marriage in church history. Some of those narratives have been revived from the RLDS church which failed, denounced the Book of Mormon as scripture, and was latter called the community of Christ. False prophets have arisen and presented new narratives with twisted church history and have called upon the old RLDS narrative that is conducive for there purposes of setting themselves up as prophets and denouncing the real ones. To stick to sunshine doctrines, but reject and denounce wintry doctrines for the praise of the world.

    It is sad, I read these comments about loving "to be taught". I found myself " Loving to Learn"the same things Hannah teaches. If we all knew the process of conversion, we would all have pod casts. We would be looking to learn media and not the gospel.
    Oh, that's right...rejection, and persecution are real.who wants that!?

    the search for “what does the Prophets” teach on „xyz” topic is in my opinion a sheep attitude. I believe if I learn anything about the Book of Mormon what else it represents to me at least, I learn to become a prophet unto myself, a living path plastered with daily revelation in all of my questions I might have. But that is my transgression: I do not fully use it read it apply it daily. That is why the prophets have to speak to us about things if you ask me, are ridiculous. Our inherent problem is that we worship prophets and scripture instead of God and His Hood. For myself and my house, we want to rise above and beyond sheep that seeks council and shepherd leadership from people who address people that want to be sheep. I have always been bothered by the parable of the sheep that got lost but good flock that remained in the parish-so good that nobody went looking for the lost sheep so the shepherd had too- only to find a sheep that wanted to explore and learn with his shepherd directly all by himself. That is who I want to be.

    better higher standards…? in my ward the standards of self worship and glorification and evil are so high they are too high for me. I can’t keep up with their fake friendships and fellowship pretending, Being in my ward actually harms my spiritual learning. So I learn by self study with gratitude towards self reliance.
