    Late one night I had a visit from beyond the veil. I was told to repeat a prayer as given to me. They were the most beautiful words I’ve ever heard. I remember the very end of the prayer included safety for my family members. Afterwards, I saw a smile from one of the 3 gentlemen. They were all dressed in old time shepards robes. I particularly noted one of them as he knowingly smiled at me. 2 days later when my husband was in a commercial building installing fiber optics in the attic, the ceiling (or floor beneath him) gave way. What’s interesting is that moments prior, he felt prompted to crawl on his back pulling the cables with him. When the floor suddenly gave way, he automatically wrapped his legs around the beams and also grabbed beams as he began to fall. Had he not listened and obeyed, he would have fallen 20 feet onto a cement floor, face first. A few weeks later, I saw a photograph of my great grandfather. It was the man who smiled at me. He was a Shepard in the badlands of Wyoming for some years. Yes to special prayers being given to us, and yes to angels and ancestors watching over us.

      Thanks for sharing❤ lately, I have been prompted more and more to pray specifically for Heavenly Father to “send the Holy Ghost” and to “send angels” and also to “send my ancestors” to help those I am praying for and I have been seeing miracles. It helps so much to start a prayer with the plea that you will be guided by the Holy Ghost in what you pray for.

    During an early morning session in the SLC temple, the light was on in the Holy of Holies. I knew Jesus was in there and immediately felt an overwhelming feeling that he wanted to affirm this and let me know he loves me. I cried like a baby! It’s the most incredible experience I have ever had! Now I can’t say I believe, but witness that I know he lives and loves us!

    When my husband and I were chaperones for a church history youth trip about 12 years ago, we were told that they don't usually let people sing "The Spirit of God", but on the rare occasion, if they are not very slammed they will. When our group was in the temple, our guide said, "there is no one waiting. would you like to sing your song?" So I was asked to lead the youth in singing. I am not real musical and I was shocked that I was the one asked to lead. I can't express in words what the spirit was like in that room. Not a dry eye. The youth physicaly looked different. I finally had to just start mouthing the words I was so emotional. with tears streaming down my face I just took it in. It was incredible. I will NEVER forget that moment.

    As an Ohio native, I’ve been to the Kirtland Temple many times over the years, the first time being about 1978. The tours of the 80s and 90s were devoid of any spirituality, focused primarily on history and RLDS proselytizing. Things vastly improved in the touring under the loving direction of Lachlan MacKay of the RLDS/Community of Christ.

    I went to the temple last thursday in prayer and fasting for personal reasons. I have been many times but have not ever had a spiritual experience in so doing. This time when the name was handed to me, i was overcome with emotion as i never have before. A second new name was given me and it was like, of course thats their name, in a familiar way. His name was victor and i can't recall the rest as they were from Finland. I know hecwas happy for his work to be done

    Pres. Nelson tells us we can expect 7 promises we can expect also that come from those 7 attributes. Thank you for going through this. In 2021 we started doing virtual tours of the historical sites - Priesthood Restoration Site (6 Priesthood Restoration), Hill Cumorah, Sacred Grove & Smith Farm, J. Smith Birthplace (Sharon, VT), Winter Quarters. At the time most of these sites (if not all) were closed to the public but missionaries were doing guided virtual tours. We had some very spiritual experiences, even the missionaries were overcome and couldn't explain it, and it seemed strange through "virtual" but it was very real. We didn't have access to Kirtland even through virtual then. But when I was in Seminary, I had an experience that connected my heart to the Red Brick Store, and I have had an interest in going there someday since then. And all these recent events, including some of these videos you are sharing, along with how we felt during those virtual visits just really has my heart stirred again. I am trying to learn more about Kirtland, temples, and also just trying to truly learn to live Charity more and gain these 7 attributes as part of my own character. Our own soul, body and spirit combined, is a temple -- and I hope I will be able to put off the natural man so that I can have a soul presentable filled with these attributes of Celestial glory.

    President Nelson quoted the 7 "house of..." parts of D&C 109. Interestingly, however, is that Joseph Smith in D&C 109 is referring to the Lord's original commandment to build the house given in D&C 88:119. This is an AMAZING section all about the Second Coming. After verse 119 the Lord gives a few more important instructions and ends that part of the section with verse 126:
    126 Pray always, that ye may not faint, until I come. Behold, and lo, I will come quickly, and receive you unto myself. Amen.
    Perhaps that sheds more light on Elder Holland's talk and its urgent need.
    And perhaps President Nelson is trying to get us to see more clearly as well :)

      I forgot that I wanted to share with you that President Nelson talked about The Lord manifesting Himself to us in the temple in his talk at General Conference, you'll remember he said:
      During this visitation, the Lord affirmed His identity.
      He said,
      “I am the first and the last;
      I am he who liveth,
      I am he who was slain;
      I am your advocate with the Father.”
      Jesus Christ then declared that He had accepted the temple as His house and made this stunning promise:
      “I will manifest myself to my people in mercy in this house.”
      This significant promise applies to every dedicated temple today.
      I invite you to ponder what the Lord’s promise means for you personally.

    Singing the Spirit of God was part of the tour previous to the Church purchasing it. We went in 2017 and our tour guide asked if any of us played piano and would played The Spirit of God while we sang. I got to be the one who played. Very very cool experience.

    My family visited Kirtland in October 2022. Such a neat experience. When we were at the visitors center it was interesting to see familiar things but yet not feel the Spirit. Right before they brought us to the temple they would give us a presentation at the visitors center and at the end of the presentation they played “The Spirit of God” and would open curtains to reveal the temple. That is the only time during the presentation that you could feel the Spirit. It was a good learning experience with my older children who could tell the difference.
    I hope my family can visit Kirtland soon now that the church owns it.

      We had that same experience when I was chaperoning a church history trip, though we did not get that same tour. We had 100 people. We felt the Spirit while we sang The Spirit of God, but that was it. Some of the teenagers were confused about what happened to stop the outflow of the Holy Ghost, because we had recently visited Liberty Jail, the sacred Grove, the Smith family home, etc; (dedicated holy sites with set apart missionaries teaching and testifying), and felt the Spirit at all those places, but not at the temple except during our song. The tour guides were making semi-irreverent jokes that weren’t in keeping with the special place. The difference was striking.

He is in his temple but he is also in our home if our home is built upon the same principles of coming to Christ and inviting the Spirit into our home on a daily basis. We can have wonderful manifestations through the Holy Spirit.

      Not to mention that the building isn't configured for standard temple operations.
      So no, it won't be a dedicated temple for temple work as we understand it today.
      Church can change its mind in a distant future, but it will require a large influx of faithful temple recommend holding saints living in the area to justify turning it into an operating temple.
