My dad was born and raised in Coffs Harbour NSW - his conversion via the sister missionaries was a miraculous event and is one of the reasons I consider him one of my heroes. I've been so delighted to stumble upon your videos and bask in your enthusiasm. God bless, brother
My mom loved the testimonies of converts, and so do I. She was a person of great faith. Anything to spread the gospel, and help others to find true happiness. That is what she cared about the most!! HAPPINESS!! And that is what God’s purpose is.
The beautiful thing is that the things that you learned along the way to the covenant path prepared you to stay on the covenant path. I left the church for 17 years and the things I learned on my way back were necessary to prepare me. I'm grateful that you've found the church and the peace that comes from the covenants of baptism, the sacrament, temple endowments that you will soon experience. Revel in the miracles that are happening and the light that is opening in your heart and mind. It is a marvelous and sustaining experience.
David, I feel that you were put here right now, for such a time as this. As the world continues to grow darker we need to shine, like you said, even brighter. Thank you for recognizing and fulfilling your calling with the Lord at your side. Please keep sharing your testimony!❤️
Very nice David. My ancestors were Baptist and I appreciate where you are coming from. My grandfather and his brother talked to the Mormon missionaries there in Kentucky and decided to be baptized. They didn't tell their wives, which included my grandmother who I believe taught Sunday School in the Baptist Church. My grandmother was not very happy with my grandfather. Well, they moved from Kentucky to Arizona and my grandmother was finally baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints 3 years later. My grandmother become a very strong LDS church member. Baptist make good Mormons. Ed
David, thank you so much for what you are doing. Your conversion is powerful! I know it took 47 years, but I’m sure the timing of your conversion is no accident. You wouldn’t have had near the audience! Especially now how the church has grown online post-Covid. It may sound selfish, but I’m grateful you converted now in these tough times- keep sharing! You have a very unique perspective and testimony that the world needs to hear now! God bless you!
Brother David Alexander, your testimony and missionary work is so unique and important because you teach that the Church is true THROUGH THE BIBLE. That’s very unique. You can reach the hearts of people in a different way because you know the Bible so well, like the back of your hand, as you say, reaching people that only believe in the Bible. You have a special calling and mission from the Lord to share your testimony online, your enthusiasm is inspiring. You’re helping members of the Church that aren’t very strong in the faith and also people that might be looking for the true Church. I hope your channel will grow so fast. You’re doing a great work!
He dosen't yet have a testimony as powerful as what I have received but He was already converted to the Lord before coming onto the Covenant Pathway. Every member of the church has a testimony at different levels. When we receive more greater light and knowledge from God our testimony increases or grows, we are laid under a rule by God to only share that which the Spirit tells us. So with his experience in his 47 years being in the Evangelical Faith, I liked his experience to that water pump video of the Church that is almost bone dry that only a drop of water finally comes coughing out of the pump after doing lots of pumping away at the handle. Whereas with Living Prophets, there are fountains of living waters overflowing in abundance and is not a stubborn water pump in the desert that takes ages to pump before a drop of water starts to finally appear after exhausting itself and a drop of water is all you can get from it.. So I likened his 47 roller coaster ride to that water desert pump. With the Evangelical Christians the well is almost bone dry because they hewed out for themselves broken cisterns that cannot hold living water. Wells without water... When David says the Evangelicals take verses of one or two scriptures to use that to deny the rest of the other bulk teachings that support the gospel bible principles, they are hewing out for themselves broken cisterns that cannot hold living water. Sola Scriptora is a broken cistern or one of the broken cisterns of the world that people hewn out for themselves. A broken cistern is of no lasting worth for it cannot hold the living water and leaks. So spiritual growth and light is limited with scriptura sola. .
@@anonanon2396 I can only share what God permits me to share when it comes to others. However its not about who has the strongest testimony in the kingdom of heaven its more about combining all our testimonies together in one powerful force that flows like a river so he is doing God's work.
I don't think I'd feel comfortable recording my testimony, but I'd like to share an experience. I was raised in the church and had a genuine love for the gospel but some time ago when I was in my late teens (I think) I remember watching a documentary on TV about the story of Noah, the documentary effectively made the story out to be nothing more than a fairytale, backed up with the best scientific understanding of our time! I was so troubled by what I had watched, I thought if that story isn't true what else that I believe isn't true? I went out to pray that night in a local field, I'd had one or two experiences with prayer in the past but needed an answer now more than ever as I felt a bad seed had been planted in my mind that would lead me away from my faith if not delt with immediately. I knelt and prayed for a while, got up started walking home but didn't feel I had really connected, so knelt again prayed again and again until I felt I had given all I could. After my final prayer there was a strong gust of wind which was very odd as it was such a still night, I took it as a sign that my prayer had been heard. I was confident that heavenly father knew my heart and knew how much it meant to me to receive knowledge at this time. I went to bed for a few hours but was woken up early by the most powerful feeling, it was as if I was being slowly dipped in to a furnace, I could even hear the roaring flames. During this experience a voice more powerful than anything I can effectively describe, I think in scripture I read 'a voice of many waters' is the closest description, the voice said three times Enos, Enos, Enos. Me, not knowing the scriptures well went searching in the Bible for the book of Enos, as I was certain that I was supposed to read it. After flicking through the bible a couple of times I realised it wasn't in there. So I grabbed the book of Mormon, found it! I read the story of a young man praying through the night, who's prayer reached the heavens and heard the voice of the Lord. It was the perfect answer and served as a protection to me when I later stumbled across all of the anti Mormon Literature. Though I didn't have all answers to all questions I knew the book of Mormon was true and that if the book of Mormon was true then Joseph Smith was a true prophet called of god, I also learned to trust in the Holy Ghost above the wisdom of man.
I really appreciate what you're doing. You're listening to the Spirit. I love your testimony. Welcome to the kingdom of God. Learning is endless. All we have to do is Seek, Knock, and Ask.
I once was troubled by a question, I guess something must have prompted me to open my journal, and I read exactly what I needed to know and feel, and the issue was resolved!! WRITE IN A JOURNAL!!
"my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads." Doctrine and covenants 25:12 I always love when you sing. God counts it as a prayer.
I agree. I love it and thank you for sharing that Doctrine and Covenants verse!! It's was prophetic and is being brought to pass by people like David!!
David...you make me laugh, you make me cry, you are too amazing my dear LDS brother. Thank you for helping me strengthen my Faith and my Testimony of Christ''s true restored Gospel. You are a special spirit alright! Love & Blessings to you and your family. ❣
David you have explained things that have resonated with me 100% the way you explain the truth of the gospel is so clear! It just amazes me! You’ve been a member your whole life and never knew😂😂
Your joy is SO healing for those of us who watch all of your videos! When I made my video to send to you the adversary tried to stop me sending it ALL DAY! I felt that major push back which made me push even harder to get it sent! I wouldn’t let the evil try n stop me! It was so weird though! When I prayed to know what to say I had NO idea what I was supposed to say. I know many people who aren’t members n so I felt that I needed to talk about all of the basics. I DO have many personal miracles that have happened and I have felt Gods hands in my life over and over as well. It’s hard to film super personal stuff but I know it’s needed. You are great at opening your heart and soul for all of us! THANK YOU!
You have a light in your countenace as you testify the truth. I understand that as we live as Jesus Christ taught and testify of Him, it will literally bind satan.
@@anonanon2396 - The judgment seat of Christ involves a time in the future when believers will give an account of themselves to Christ. This is the plain teaching of Scripture: “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10). The warning is to Christians, not unbelievers. As Jesus taught in His parable, the king is going to return, at which time he will require an account from his servants (Luke 19:11-26). The judgment seat of Christ is different from the Great White Throne Judgment. That will be the final judgment of the wicked prior to their being cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15). Appearing before the Great White Throne will be unbelievers. Believers will appear before the judgment seat."
@@anonanon2396 - the Devil tested Jesus in the wilderness and found him to be true to his Godly nature. The demons tremble at the mention of Jesus' name. So, I would say their testimonies identify Jesus as Creator of all.
David, when you go to the Temple, it will validate all that you have said. I wished I could be there with you when you go through the Temple not just the first time, but every time. Confirmation of Truth
The role and mission of the Holy Ghost is to bear witness of the Father and the Son. We have no power or ability to force our testimonies into the hearts of those who hear us, but the Spirit needs our words to have something to work with. We can never fully know the impact or weak and imperfect words of testimony might have on the hearts of those that hear us. Thank you for your invitation to help the Holy Spirit do His work. What a heavenly partnership we can be part of.
The Holy Spirit does not need help doing His work. As born again Christians, we need to be humble and ask the Holy Spirit to work in us and through us for his purpose and pleasure.
@@Jerry2Murray One thing I love about the saints at their best is their grace in seeing the good, encouraging and lifting and refraining from criticism. It really is something special to feel safe with your sisters and brethren.
@@45s262 - I judge none. That job belongs to Jesus. What I do judge is the fact that Mormonism does not acknowledge Jesus as Ego eimi (to exist - I Am); therefore, the adherents of the LDS follow a false Jesus, another Gospel, another doctrine. BTW, born again Christians are not going to rule their own planets and have many wives. Mormonism is similar to Islam in their belief of having awesome sexual encounters after death. Right?

@@anonanon2396- mature debates do not put folks on the defensive but create a mental state where true reasoning can take place to discern truth from error.
@@Jerry2Murray Hi Jerry. I invite you to prayerfully read the Book of Mormon for yourself. I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at age 8, about a year after my mother became a member following her own investigation. I've received numerous personal blessings during the following 66 years, including unmistakable answers to specific questions. I know that Jesus Christ is real, knows and loves us intimately, that the Book of Mormon contains revelation from God, and that numerous leaders of this church share the nourishing words of life. Success with your quest to be faithful to God!
Brother David, I love your correct emphasis on the power of OUR testimonies. That is the fruit of true conversion-sharing your story to selflessly encourage others to see and share their own witnesses. 🕊
Love your testimony and example!! And you just got baptized? Wow!!! Love your light and power of your beautiful testimony! You do have a gift! Thank you for teaching us so much! The love for scripture and you memorizing them throughout your life wow!!
Keep at it!!! We need your passion and insight!! You have been called and saved for Such a Time as This… Your evangelical preparatory work was vital! Just like Paul was called and directed into the Church in an unconventional way, you were too! You keep preaching! Oh the people you will touch.
Dear Brother David, I stumbled upon your videos a few weeks ago and have been fed spiritually by your testimony and great act of faith. I was born into the church and under the covenant and see it as a blessing however I have been greatly tested in my life to turn against the church and the advesary has not overcome me. Thankfully today I am still in the church but it is a constant redirecting every day to align myself with the Light of God and ward off the evil speaking of the world. I've often felt very misunderstood by mainstream Christians and at times it has kept me low. I know it is my choice to rise above the dark chorus of voices that speak against the prophet Joseph Smoth, the Church, and Christ's apostles and prophets. You are a real inspiration to me. Thank you. Keep speaking God's message of truth. May we all be uplifted by your testimony of Jesus and God's love for all of his children. Bless you
The book of Mormon came into my life when I was about 13 or 14 right after I read the New Testament, and I went to early morning seminary and learned about the history of the Church with the book called the work and the glory. I really appreciate this video, and your words!
Thank you brother David, your testimony is so powerful! I knew the church was true since the very beginning, when the missionaries visited me, I knew they had authority and they where sent by God, I just couldn’t say no to them, so glad I listened to their message, it changed my life and continues to change it every day for good. Grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ, I’ve been a member for 9 years, currently serving in my 4th year as a Bishop and it’s a great privilege to serve the lord, my heart is filled with joy! Thank you for sharing your wonderful testimony with us, you are an amazing brother! 🙏
I saw the video where you spoke. I assumed that you were speaking in a sacrament meeting. If you were speaking to missionaries, it jives with my desire to download all of your videos into MP3 format then gift it to missionaries. It will be motivation and encouragement for them.
The "Gift of the Holy Ghost" which is in essence the right to the influence of the Holy Ghost when we are keeping the commandments and seeking to live righteously, is one of the greatest blessings of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Thank you David! Bearing your testimony is powerful. It is an act of will that enables the Testator to confirm the truth of it to those who listened and are earnestly seeking truth. It is closely related to the spirit of prophecy and the spirit of revelation. John learned in vision that it was a key factor in overcoming the adversary in the pre existence. It seems likely to be a key factor in winning the continuance of that conflict on the earth. Is it any wonder the adversary wants to silence all who disagree with him? Revelation 19:10 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 12:11 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
David, thank you for your willingness to share what you have been looking for most of your life. I was born in the covenant and often people in my situation take it for granted. I am the Family History Leader in my ward and I am encouraging people to attend the Temple as often as possible and doing Temple work for their ancestors. I would challenge you to contact in your ward your Family History Leader and have them help you search out your 4 generations of ancestors and get their Temple work done and in one year from your baptism date set a goal to go to the Temple and take out your Endowments. The Covenants you made at baptism and in the Temple will qualify you and those you love to receive exaltation if you stay on the covenant path. That is how you yoke yourself with the Savior by keeping your covenants. Take care Brother Russ Condie Kaysville Utah
I don't have the words to describe the joy I feel listening to your musings and your testimony. In the beginning was the word. Add to your string of testimony/word scriptures D&C 62:3. Love you man.
David, I love your channel! I shared your story in a recent RUclips video and it’s been blessing a lot of people! I apologize that I didn’t think to ask your permission beforehand, I was just so excited to share! You are such a bright light and your enthusiasm for the gospel has been the most refreshing thing I have experienced since I can’t even remember when. I have evangelical family members who over the years made that phrase “The Bible says…” feel like I was being smacked with the Bible each time I heard it. As a child I feared any mention of the Bible because the word “Bible” became a painful world. It reminded me of a weapon. Whereas the Book of Mormon brought me peace. All these years later I have grown to love the Bible along with Book of Mormon. I had also once feared crosses because these family members wore crosses and were brutal to me and my family because we are Latter-day Saints. As a child and teenager I became afraid of people who wore crosses because I knew if they found out I was LDS they would crucify me. Decades later I’m confident in my testimony and faith and these things no longer worry me. 😄 I think that’s why so many of us enjoy your videos and testimony. It’s not very often we meet an evangelical who is passionate about the restored gospel, let alone gets baptized and wants to share! Thank you a million times over for making these videos. ❤ ruclips.net/video/v6Xskc-LHKw/видео.html

"Nevertheless, ye are blessed, for the testimony which ye have borne is recorded in heaven for the angels to look upon; and they rejoice over you, and your sins are forgiven you." Doctrine & Covenants 62:3
@@Jerry2Murray through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, who had power over mortality and has the power of God, suffered for our sins and sicknesses and heartache and all pain and suffering and that is a saving grace IF we accept it by not only believing in our Savior Jesus Christ's power over sin and over death, but also by daily repentance, asking our Father in Heaven with full heart and understanding of our sins to forgive us, and then we promise never to commit those same sins again! Continually breaking commandments through any number of sins is not full and true repentance. That's why it's a daily practice to work on repenting and continuing to do better and better. We will fall because that is the nature of our mortal experience and this world, but if we continue to work at becoming more like Christ and continue to repent daily, then through the power of Christ's atonement we will be forgiven and our sins will be washed away through the blood of Christ and our sins will no longer be remembered by God the Father, thus making us closer to being worthy and prepared to be in His presence one day when our judgement comes and hopefully be worthy to be saved in the kingdom of God called the Celestial Kingdom, IF we make and keep sacred covenants like the proper baptism done through the literal power of God called the Priesthood by those who worthily hold it, passed down to them through those who hold it, originating from Jesus Christ himself. We must be baptized by immersion, receive the Holy Ghost as a gift given through the Priesthood in a separate ordinance, then receive endowments that are further covenants made with God to bring us closer to His presence and His kingdom and to Eternal Salvation and Life. That was a lot. For sure. The answers to affirm this are found in all scripture and through living Prophets that have been called of God, and through the Holy Ghost speaking the truth of these things to an open and wanting heart and mind. Trust in these things. Trust in David's testimony. Trust in God. Trust in the Holy Ghost to testify to your heart of truth and you will come to know and learn of these things for yourself.

Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME [you are banished from My presence], YOU WHO ACT WICKEDLY [disregarding My commands].’" (Matt 7:19-23)
@@LisaPFrampton- what you are stating is that salvation is dependent on daily repentance. Though I agree a born again believer in Christ should walk in repentance, he/she should not walk in fear of losing salvation. Why? Justification is a work of God, not something I achieve by doing good things. Salvation is the promise that God started the work in me and will continue to refine me until I take my last breath on earth and enter into His presence. Once a person has turned from their sinful ways and receives forgiveness of sins, God's Holy Spirit enters them, seals them as a child of God, and empowers them to live a Godly life. It is no longer I that lives but Christ in me. I was purchased with a price and no longer belong to myself. Jesus said, "I give them life and they will never perish - All that the Father gives me, I shall not lose one". This is His promise for those who are indwelt with God's Spirit.
David, I have been watching your videos and I am so inspired by your testimony. It has truly strengthened mine and had made me realize how much I have taken for granted my lifetime membership in Gods true church. Thank you for sharing you truly are doing a great thing!

I feel this so much! The spirit made me do my go video and I surrendered and did it but now doing the second video is even scarier than the first. You are doing great work David thank you!
Hi David! Even though we live on opposite sides of the planet, we are kindred spirits in many ways. I live in Utah and am a 9th generation member of the Lord's restored church. My daughter is the 10th generation and the 11th generation is around the corner (in ten years or so). We are descended from Joseph and Polly Knight, close friends of Joseph Smith and his family. Like Joseph Knight, I feel a very strong connection to the Prophet Joseph. I have also felt strong connections to other modern and ancient day prophets, including President Nelson. I am very grateful for my membership in the Lord's church and for yours. It is truly amazing to me how the Lord does His work and how He draws towards Himself all who will hear and respond to His voice. I have really appreciated hearing your testimony through many videos and have felt the witness of the Holy Ghost several times confirming certain things you have said. I look forward to many more such experiences! Your brother in the Gospel, Aaron.
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony! I also became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints after being raised Baptist. I was given a Book of Mormon at 17 and knew immediately it was from God like the Bible is. 13 years later I was baptized and was disowned for awhile by my parent. But, it was the best decision I ever made in my life! I’ve been a faithful member now for 39 and 1/2 years! I love hearing your stories! Keep on sharing and studying- God bless you!!
I’m so excited to hear what you think about this “End of The Age” doctrine that I am reposting it in multiple videos in the hope that you’ll see it…. Thank you David for your heartwarming testimony. As a lifelong latter-day Saint and seeker of truth, it’s nice to be reminded of the blessings we have here within the restored church. As someone who has a deep understanding of the Bible, I thought that you might really enjoy listening to the Micheal Rush video linked below. It’s quite deep LDS doctrine…. I’ve been spiritually reinvigorated in my study of the Scriptures because of it. God bless you!
People wonder how the Church of Jesus Christ can make one happy 😃…..I’ll tell you how, LIVE WHAT THE PROPHETS AND APOSTLES TEACH US!! AND THE WORDS FROM JESUS, HIMSELF….HE SPEAKS HIMSELF AND THROUGH HIS CHOSEN SERVANTS. HE SAYS THAT THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME!!
Thank you for your testimony! I felt inspired to share my testimony with the primary children last year through videos like you are doing. MTC for kids come from "My Testimony of Christ." We just created a video for kids about testimony and the recipe for finding truth. Keep sharing your testimony! The world needs more light! Thanks again!
Thank you David for your videos. It brightens my days and helps renew my testimony. I haven't always been active in the past. But you have helped me to understand you don't have to be perfect to try to do your best and the Lord will help you with the rest. Anyway. I just really wanted to let you know how much these videos have helped me the last few weeks.
Thank you Brother Alexander for sharing your heartfelt testimony with us all. I know that sharing our testimonies with each other and through social media, we can all help to reach those who are searching for the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am grateful to have a testimony that Christ has restored his church on the earth again today and that we have a prophet on the earth today and apostles to guide us and lead us through these troubled times. I know they have been given the authority to work in the name of Jesus Christ. I know by following these leaders, we will stay on the straight path that will lead us back into the presence of our Heavenly Father. We will go through hard times, but the Holy Ghost has been given to us to personally guide us and strengthen us. Jesus Christ loves us and wants us to succeed. Pray with gratitude and pray for what you need. Study the scriptures that you may have understanding. Be ready to except his will and not your own. Always put him first in whatever you do. You will then have a joy within you that the world cannot touch. Remember that Christ has overcome the world. It will all be worth it. I testify of these things in the sacred name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
The best people came from the Jesus Revolution! Now I see that again with you.. Thst movement must have been inspired by God.. I’d love to hear more about that movement! Carol Joy Seid came from it too. Question… I’d love to hear about literal casting out evil spirits… I think more and more we can and we must!
You can do it Michael! It will be daunting the first time, much easier the second time...and then you will have it licked! Anything worth doing...is daunting the first time. Thanks for being an overcomer!
Hey David, love your testimony and this channel! I'm wondering if you could help me understand how Evangelicals and other Christian faiths who claim to know the Bible can justify their believe in the Trinity (One God - God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are one personage). It makes no sense when I read the New Testament. I'm not sure how someone who knows the Bible would think that God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit aren't three distinct personages. When Christ prays, he doesn't pray to himself. He's not crazy. He talks about doing "His Father's will". When Christ was baptized, a voice spoke from heaven saying, "This is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased", and Christ is in the water, and the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove. That shows 3 distinct individuals. When Christ was on the cross, he said "Father forgive them..." Why didn't he say, "I forgive you"...When the resurrected Christ appeared to Mary, he told her not to touch him because he hadn't ascended to his Father in heaven yet. If God the Father and Jesus Christ are the same being, this statement makes absolutely no sense at all. But if they are separate personages, it makes total sense. Also, when Stephen was being stoned, he looked up into heaven and saw Jesus standing on the right hand side of God the Father. Two distinct personages. So I'm not sure how Christians reading the bible (new testament) can think there is only one God, and that Jesus is talking to himself and praying to himself (God the Father). It just doesn't make any sense. Christ isn't a lunatic. So how can mainstream Bible loving Christians believe the Trinity nonsense???
John Berry, there is a really good channel that helps people understand how evangelicals see the scriptures. If you look up come follow me FAIR you should be able to find it. Jennifer Roach was raised in an evangelical mega church and later became an ordained minister in the Anglican church. Through a small series of miracles, she ended up joining the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints a few years ago. She knows what both evangelicals and Latter-day saints mean when certain religious terms are used and she is a skillful interpreter. I have learned so much from her videos. I used to be absolutely perplexed when people would say we didn't believe in Jesus or that we had a "different " Jesus. Now, I finally know what they mean, even though they are wrong.
That reference to let there be light, the Holy Spirit acted upon it, then the light was on. I am aware of that scripture. I've heard once before the Holy Spirit is in charge of the laws of universe, like gravity, etc. David just mentioned that. Are there any teachings on what I just said?
If these things are true, why do you have to reinforce them every day? If I put my hand in a fire and get burned, I know this is a true thing, I don't need to test it out every day . Please respond 🙏
Of course, the Truth needs constant reinforcement and promotion and defence....because it is under the constant assault of the Accuser of the Brethren, of the Liar and the Father of Lies, the Prince of the Power of the Air, the spirit which is at work in the sons of disobedience....who constantly stander, oppose and assault the truth....so this is why...Paul, in Hebrews 3:12-15, commands those who love the truth...to DAILY EXHORT ONE ANOTHER. 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Humans have faulty memories, what if you saw a video of someone doing a trick to touch fire without getting burned, I've seen these, what if a large amount of people you hear saying it is a lie and you can touch fire without being burned, you may start to doubt your memory, maybe think you just did it wrong, start finding ways to explain it off
Saul stop persecuting the saint of God. Have you not listened to a word this man has said. He is a modern day Paul, he was just like you a so-called believer persecuting the real Saints, until God called him to change and now that he has seen the light you cannot stop his zeal for the restored church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints, led by apostles and prophets evangelist and teachers, with revelation and authority on the earth again. His testimony like Paul’s will be heard by the known world! You should join him.

I really do wish you well stop spreading hate open your eyes and see
@@MichaelSaline - the same hate? When the Lord Jesus enters a person and dwells in them, one experiences his presence, his peace, and his power. I will remain in God's hands and bask in his light because I have passed the test of Romans 8:9 and 2 Corinthians 3:15. I know I am saved and sealed by the Holy Spirit: "And the testimony is this: God has given us eternal life [we already possess it], and this life is in His Son [resulting in our spiritual completeness, and eternal companionship with Him]. He who has the Son [by accepting Him as Lord and Savior] has the life [that is eternal]; he who does not have the Son of God [by personal faith] does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God [which represents all that Jesus Christ is and does], so that you will know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have eternal life." (I John 5)
God, the creator, is only one, not two, not three. God is perfect, and his messages is also perfect.. It's the same message which given to all his prophets, Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, jacube,Moses, David soliman, Zakaria, Jesus nd the last prophet Mohammed (peace be upon them all). God almighty has no son, no wife, no partners. Jesus Christ' is not God, not son of God, not equal to God. Jesus Christ is only slave nd messaganger of God, may be one of his greatest prophets. Jesus himself never claim he's God or hes son of God. Still in the current Bible, u can't fined that Jesus himself said " im God worship me". Word "trinity", not found in the current scriptures.. Jesus christ himself ws prostrating and pray for his God.. U can read that much in Bible..
My dad was born and raised in Coffs Harbour NSW - his conversion via the sister missionaries was a miraculous event and is one of the reasons I consider him one of my heroes. I've been so delighted to stumble upon your videos and bask in your enthusiasm. God bless, brother
My mom loved the testimonies of converts, and so do I. She was a person of great faith. Anything to spread the gospel, and help others to find true happiness. That is what she cared about the most!! HAPPINESS!! And that is what God’s purpose is.
The beautiful thing is that the things that you learned along the way to the covenant path prepared you to stay on the covenant path. I left the church for 17 years and the things I learned on my way back were necessary to prepare me. I'm grateful that you've found the church and the peace that comes from the covenants of baptism, the sacrament, temple endowments that you will soon experience. Revel in the miracles that are happening and the light that is opening in your heart and mind. It is a marvelous and sustaining experience.
David, I feel that you were put here right now, for such a time as this. As the world continues to grow darker we need to shine, like you said, even brighter. Thank you for recognizing and fulfilling your calling with the Lord at your side.
Please keep sharing your testimony!❤️
Keep studying!! I say that to everyone….everyone!! Keep studying and keep praying 🙏!!
Paraphrasing Gordon B. Hinckley, the strength of the Church lies in the individual testimony of its members!😊
LOVED GBH !
Very nice David. My ancestors were Baptist and I appreciate where you are coming from. My grandfather and his brother talked to the Mormon missionaries there in Kentucky and decided to be baptized. They didn't tell their wives, which included my grandmother who I believe taught Sunday School in the Baptist Church. My grandmother was not very happy with my grandfather. Well, they moved from Kentucky to Arizona and my grandmother was finally baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints 3 years later. My grandmother become a very strong LDS church member. Baptist make good Mormons. Ed
David, thank you so much for what you are doing. Your conversion is powerful! I know it took 47 years, but I’m sure the timing of your conversion is no accident.
You wouldn’t have had near the audience! Especially now how the church has grown online post-Covid. It may sound selfish, but I’m grateful you converted now in these tough times- keep sharing! You have a very unique perspective and testimony that the world needs to hear now! God bless you!
Brother David Alexander, your testimony and missionary work is so unique and important because you teach that the Church is true THROUGH THE BIBLE. That’s very unique. You can reach the hearts of people in a different way because you know the Bible so well, like the back of your hand, as you say, reaching people that only believe in the Bible. You have a special calling and mission from the Lord to share your testimony online, your enthusiasm is inspiring. You’re helping members of the Church that aren’t very strong in the faith and also people that might be looking for the true Church. I hope your channel will grow so fast. You’re doing a great work!
He dosen't yet have a testimony as powerful as what I have received but He was already converted to the Lord before coming onto the Covenant Pathway. Every member of the church has a testimony at different levels. When we receive more greater light and knowledge from God our testimony increases or grows, we are laid under a rule by God to only share that which the Spirit tells us.
So with his experience in his 47 years being in the Evangelical Faith, I liked his experience to that water pump video of the Church that is almost bone dry that only a drop of water finally comes coughing out of the pump after doing lots of pumping away at the handle. Whereas with Living Prophets, there are fountains of living waters overflowing in abundance and is not a stubborn water pump in the desert that takes ages to pump before a drop of water starts to finally appear after exhausting itself and a drop of water is all you can get from it.. So I likened his 47 roller coaster ride to that water desert pump.
With the Evangelical Christians the well is almost bone dry because they hewed out for themselves broken cisterns that cannot hold living water. Wells without water... When David says the Evangelicals take verses of one or two scriptures to use that to deny the rest of the other bulk teachings that support the gospel bible principles, they are hewing out for themselves broken cisterns that cannot hold living water.
Sola Scriptora is a broken cistern or one of the broken cisterns of the world that people hewn out for themselves. A broken
cistern is of no lasting worth for it cannot hold the living water and leaks. So spiritual growth and light is limited with scriptura sola.
.
@@germanslice I hope we get to keep seeing David’s progress as he experiences all of the restored gospel.
@@anonanon2396 I can only share what God permits me to share when it comes to others. However its not about who has the strongest testimony in the kingdom of heaven its more about combining all our testimonies together in one powerful force that flows like a river so he is doing God's work.
@greentree YES! well said!❤️
I don't think I'd feel comfortable recording my testimony, but I'd like to share an experience.
I was raised in the church and had a genuine love for the gospel but some time ago when I was in my late teens (I think) I remember watching a documentary on TV about the story of Noah, the documentary effectively made the story out to be nothing more than a fairytale, backed up with the best scientific understanding of our time!
I was so troubled by what I had watched, I thought if that story isn't true what else that I believe isn't true? I went out to pray that night in a local field, I'd had one or two experiences with prayer in the past but needed an answer now more than ever as I felt a bad seed had been planted in my mind that would lead me away from my faith if not delt with immediately.
I knelt and prayed for a while, got up started walking home but didn't feel I had really connected, so knelt again prayed again and again until I felt I had given all I could.
After my final prayer there was a strong gust of wind which was very odd as it was such a still night, I took it as a sign that my prayer had been heard. I was confident that heavenly father knew my heart and knew how much it meant to me to receive knowledge at this time.
I went to bed for a few hours but was woken up early by the most powerful feeling, it was as if I was being slowly dipped in to a furnace, I could even hear the roaring flames. During this experience a voice more powerful than anything I can effectively describe, I think in scripture I read 'a voice of many waters' is the closest description, the voice said three times Enos, Enos, Enos. Me, not knowing the scriptures well went searching in the Bible for the book of Enos, as I was certain that I was supposed to read it. After flicking through the bible a couple of times I realised it wasn't in there. So I grabbed the book of Mormon, found it! I read the story of a young man praying through the night, who's prayer reached the heavens and heard the voice of the Lord. It was the perfect answer and served as a protection to me when I later stumbled across all of the anti Mormon Literature. Though I didn't have all answers to all questions I knew the book of Mormon was true and that if the book of Mormon was true then Joseph Smith was a true prophet called of god, I also learned to trust in the Holy Ghost above the wisdom of man.
😊❤😂
ENOS!
Thank you for sharing such a personal and tender experience, Richard. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience! God bless you! ❤️🙏❤️
I really appreciate what you're doing. You're listening to the Spirit. I love your testimony. Welcome to the kingdom of God. Learning is endless. All we have to do is Seek, Knock, and Ask.
I once was troubled by a question, I guess something must have prompted me to open my journal, and I read exactly what I needed to know and feel, and the issue was resolved!! WRITE IN A JOURNAL!!
"my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads." Doctrine and covenants 25:12
I always love when you sing. God counts it as a prayer.
Thank-you!
I agree. I love it and thank you for sharing that Doctrine and Covenants verse!!
It's was prophetic and is being brought to pass by people like David!!
Joseph Smith was born Dec 23rd! The same day you felt pulled to the church!
We need to cast out all the negatives that seem like invisible bullies.
I love your light! You have started a revolution!!! We need you! I’m so grateful for you! Keep talking, keep making videos. Gods army needs you!
David...you make me laugh, you make me cry, you are too amazing my dear LDS brother. Thank you for helping me strengthen my Faith and my Testimony of Christ''s true restored Gospel. You are a special spirit alright! Love & Blessings to you and your family. ❣
Do you want to experience something really awesome? Try bearing your testimony to your Father in Heaven in prayer. ;)
David you have explained things that have resonated with me 100% the way you explain the truth of the gospel is so clear! It just amazes me! You’ve been a member your whole life and never knew😂😂
How great those who are have strong testimony just like you bro David you are a light to those who will Hear you KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS GOD BLESS YOU
Your joy is SO healing for those of us who watch all of your videos! When I made my video to send to you the adversary tried to stop me sending it ALL DAY! I felt that major push back which made me push even harder to get it sent! I wouldn’t let the evil try n stop me! It was so weird though!
When I prayed to know what to say I had NO idea what I was supposed to say. I know many people who aren’t members n so I felt that I needed to talk about all of the basics. I DO have many personal miracles that have happened and I have felt Gods hands in my life over and over as well. It’s hard to film super personal stuff but I know it’s needed. You are great at opening your heart and soul for all of us! THANK YOU!
Your Evangelist past has served you well Bro,..Your words are so refreshing to a naughty mormon lad like me 😊🙏🏽
Angels are recording everything!! But still keep journals…..we need them in this life!!
You have a light in your countenace as you testify the truth. I understand that as we live as Jesus Christ taught and testify of Him, it will literally bind satan.
The Bible warns that Satan comes to us as an angel. DO NOT BE DECEIVED.
@@Jerry2Murray Does the devil come testifying of the Saviour?.
@@anonanon2396 Well said. I say no he does not and would choke on those words! ❤️
@@anonanon2396 - The judgment seat of Christ involves a time in the future when believers will give an account of themselves to Christ. This is the plain teaching of Scripture: “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10). The warning is to Christians, not unbelievers. As Jesus taught in His parable, the king is going to return, at which time he will require an account from his servants (Luke 19:11-26).
The judgment seat of Christ is different from the Great White Throne Judgment. That will be the final judgment of the wicked prior to their being cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15). Appearing before the Great White Throne will be unbelievers. Believers will appear before the judgment seat."
@@anonanon2396 - the Devil tested Jesus in the wilderness and found him to be true to his Godly nature. The demons tremble at the mention of Jesus' name. So, I would say their testimonies identify Jesus as Creator of all.
David, when you go to the Temple, it will validate all that you have said. I wished I could be there with you when you go through the Temple not just the first time, but every time. Confirmation of Truth
The role and mission of the Holy Ghost is to bear witness of the Father and the Son. We have no power or ability to force our testimonies into the hearts of those who hear us, but the Spirit needs our words to have something to work with. We can never fully know the impact or weak and imperfect words of testimony might have on the hearts of those that hear us. Thank you for your invitation to help the Holy Spirit do His work. What a heavenly partnership we can be part of.
The Holy Spirit does not need help doing His work. As born again Christians, we need to be humble and ask the Holy Spirit to work in us and through us for his purpose and pleasure.
@@Jerry2Murray One thing I love about the saints at their best is their grace in seeing the good, encouraging and lifting and refraining from criticism. It really is something special to feel safe with your sisters and brethren.
@@45s262 - I judge none. That job belongs to Jesus. What I do judge is the fact that Mormonism does not acknowledge Jesus as Ego eimi (to exist - I Am); therefore, the adherents of the LDS follow a false Jesus, another Gospel, another doctrine. BTW, born again Christians are not going to rule their own planets and have many wives. Mormonism is similar to Islam in their belief of having awesome sexual encounters after death. Right? True adherents of Jesus are going to live in the mansion Jesus is preparing for us (John 14:3)

@@anonanon2396- mature debates do not put folks on the defensive but create a mental state where true reasoning can take place to discern truth from error.
@@Jerry2Murray Hi Jerry. I invite you to prayerfully read the Book of Mormon for yourself. I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at age 8, about a year after my mother became a member following her own investigation. I've received numerous personal blessings during the following 66 years, including unmistakable answers to specific questions. I know that Jesus Christ is real, knows and loves us intimately, that the Book of Mormon contains revelation from God, and that numerous leaders of this church share the nourishing words of life. Success with your quest to be faithful to God!

Always good to hear from you David.
Thank you for your testimony!! It is POWERFUL!!
Brother David, I love your correct emphasis on the power of OUR testimonies. That is the fruit of true conversion-sharing your story to selflessly encourage others to see and share their own witnesses. 🕊
Exactly! ❤
Love your testimony and example!! And you just got baptized? Wow!!! Love your light and power of your beautiful testimony! You do have a gift! Thank you for teaching us so much! The love for scripture and you memorizing them throughout your life wow!!
Keep at it!!!
We need your passion and insight!!
You have been called and saved for Such a Time as This…
Your evangelical preparatory work was vital! Just like Paul was called and directed into the Church in an unconventional way, you were too!
You keep preaching! Oh the people you will touch.
Dear Brother David, I stumbled upon your videos a few weeks ago and have been fed spiritually by your testimony and great act of faith. I was born into the church and under the covenant and see it as a blessing however I have been greatly tested in my life to turn against the church and the advesary has not overcome me. Thankfully today I am still in the church but it is a constant redirecting every day to align myself with the Light of God and ward off the evil speaking of the world. I've often felt very misunderstood by mainstream Christians and at times it has kept me low. I know it is my choice to rise above the dark chorus of voices that speak against the prophet Joseph Smoth, the Church, and Christ's apostles and prophets. You are a real inspiration to me. Thank you. Keep speaking God's message of truth. May we all be uplifted by your testimony of Jesus and God's love for all of his children. Bless you
The book of Mormon came into my life when I was about 13 or 14 right after I read the New Testament, and I went to early morning seminary and learned about the history of the Church with the book called the work and the glory. I really appreciate this video, and your words!
Thank you brother David, your testimony is so powerful! I knew the church was true since the very beginning, when the missionaries visited me, I knew they had authority and they where sent by God, I just couldn’t say no to them, so glad I listened to their message, it changed my life and continues to change it every day for good. Grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ, I’ve been a member for 9 years, currently serving in my 4th year as a Bishop and it’s a great privilege to serve the lord, my heart is filled with joy! Thank you for sharing your wonderful testimony with us, you are an amazing brother! 🙏
😂😂😂 I love it ❤❤❤ Don't stop David, the evil ones are Out a here! 😂😂😂
Keep on doing what you are doing, Brother David. You are doing God's work.
I like the explanation of testimony chase the devils away.
Thank you for your simple yet powerful testimony. You are so unscripted, down to earth and so open. So vulnerable that I love it.
I saw the video where you spoke. I assumed that you were speaking in a sacrament meeting. If you were speaking to missionaries, it jives with my desire to download all of your videos into MP3 format then gift it to missionaries. It will be motivation and encouragement for them.
“Portia’s Testimony “ she is my niece,it is so wonderful to see her testimony on your site.
The "Gift of the Holy Ghost" which is in essence the right to the influence of the Holy Ghost when we are keeping the commandments and seeking to live righteously, is one of the greatest blessings of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Thank you brother Alexander, you truly love ❤️ God and love all man, through your testimony now converted unto the Savior, Jesus Christ 🙏 ❤
Thank you David!
Bearing your testimony is powerful. It is an act of will that enables the Testator to confirm the truth of it to those who listened and are earnestly seeking truth. It is closely related to the spirit of prophecy and the spirit of revelation.
John learned in vision that it was a key factor in overcoming the adversary in the pre existence. It seems likely to be a key factor in winning the continuance of that conflict on the earth.
Is it any wonder the adversary wants to silence all who disagree with him?
Revelation 19:10
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 12:11
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Your songs are the best. Thank you!
David, thank you for your willingness to share what you have been looking for most of your life.
I was born in the covenant and often people in my situation take it for granted.
I am the Family History Leader in my ward and I am encouraging people to attend the Temple as often as possible and doing Temple work for their ancestors.
I would challenge you to contact in your ward your Family History Leader and have them help you search out your 4 generations of ancestors and get their Temple work done and in one year from your baptism date set a goal to go to the Temple and take out your Endowments.
The Covenants you made at baptism and in the Temple will qualify you and those you love to receive exaltation if you stay on the covenant path.
That is how you yoke yourself with the Savior by keeping your covenants.
Take care
Brother Russ Condie
Kaysville Utah
Yes! I love your advice! Perfectly said! ❤
I don't have the words to describe the joy I feel listening to your musings and your testimony. In the beginning was the word. Add to your string of testimony/word scriptures D&C 62:3. Love you man.
David, I love your channel! I shared your story in a recent RUclips video and it’s been blessing a lot of people! I apologize that I didn’t think to ask your permission beforehand, I was just so excited to share!
You are such a bright light and your enthusiasm for the gospel has been the most refreshing thing I have experienced since I can’t even remember when. I have evangelical family members who over the years made that phrase “The Bible says…” feel like I was being smacked with the Bible each time I heard it. As a child I feared any mention of the Bible because the word “Bible” became a painful world. It reminded me of a weapon. Whereas the Book of Mormon brought me peace. All these years later I have grown to love the Bible along with Book of Mormon.
I had also once feared crosses because these family members wore crosses and were brutal to me and my family because we are Latter-day Saints. As a child and teenager I became afraid of people who wore crosses because I knew if they found out I was LDS they would crucify me.
Decades later I’m confident in my testimony and faith and these things no longer worry me. 😄 I think that’s why so many of us enjoy your videos and testimony. It’s not very often we meet an evangelical who is passionate about the restored gospel, let alone gets baptized and wants to share! Thank you a million times over for making these videos. ❤

"Nevertheless, ye are blessed, for the testimony which ye have borne is recorded in heaven for the angels to look upon; and they rejoice over you, and your sins are forgiven you." Doctrine & Covenants 62:3
Thank-you!
How is a person forgiven of their sins?
@@Jerry2Murray through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, who had power over mortality and has the power of God, suffered for our sins and sicknesses and heartache and all pain and suffering and that is a saving grace IF we accept it by not only believing in our Savior Jesus Christ's power over sin and over death, but also by daily repentance, asking our Father in Heaven with full heart and understanding of our sins to forgive us, and then we promise never to commit those same sins again!
Continually breaking commandments through any number of sins is not full and true repentance. That's why it's a daily practice to work on repenting and continuing to do better and better.
We will fall because that is the nature of our mortal experience and this world, but if we continue to work at becoming more like Christ and continue to repent daily, then through the power of Christ's atonement we will be forgiven and our sins will be washed away through the blood of Christ and our sins will no longer be remembered by God the Father, thus making us closer to being worthy and prepared to be in His presence one day when our judgement comes and hopefully be worthy to be saved in the kingdom of God called the Celestial Kingdom, IF we make and keep sacred covenants like the proper baptism done through the literal power of God called the Priesthood by those who worthily hold it, passed down to them through those who hold it, originating from Jesus Christ himself.
We must be baptized by immersion, receive the Holy Ghost as a gift given through the Priesthood in a separate ordinance, then receive endowments that are further covenants made with God to bring us closer to His presence and His kingdom and to Eternal Salvation and Life.
That was a lot. For sure.
The answers to affirm this are found in all scripture and through living Prophets that have been called of God, and through the Holy Ghost speaking the truth of these things to an open and wanting heart and mind.
Trust in these things. Trust in David's testimony. Trust in God. Trust in the Holy Ghost to testify to your heart of truth and you will come to know and learn of these things for yourself.
@@littleredhen3218- indeed, share the Gospel but make sure you have the Holy Spirit indwelling you (Romans 8:9). Right?
"Everyone tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruit you will recognize them [as false prophets].
"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME [you are banished from My presence], YOU WHO ACT WICKEDLY [disregarding My commands].’" (Matt 7:19-23)
@@LisaPFrampton- what you are stating is that salvation is dependent on daily repentance. Though I agree a born again believer in Christ should walk in repentance, he/she should not walk in fear of losing salvation. Why? Justification is a work of God, not something I achieve by doing good things. Salvation is the promise that God started the work in me and will continue to refine me until I take my last breath on earth and enter into His presence. Once a person has turned from their sinful ways and receives forgiveness of sins, God's Holy Spirit enters them, seals them as a child of God, and empowers them to live a Godly life. It is no longer I that lives but Christ in me. I was purchased with a price and no longer belong to myself. Jesus said, "I give them life and they will never perish - All that the Father gives me, I shall not lose one". This is His promise for those who are indwelt with God's Spirit.
David, I have been watching your videos and I am so inspired by your testimony. It has truly strengthened mine and had made me realize how much I have taken for granted my lifetime membership in Gods true church. Thank you for sharing you truly are doing a great thing!
You took the words out of my mouth .I feel the same thing about happy David.He has woke me up..

I feel this so much! The spirit made me do my go video and I surrendered and did it but now doing the second video is even scarier than the first. You are doing great work David thank you!
Peace and forgiveness.
I appreciate your videos
Hi David! Even though we live on opposite sides of the planet, we are kindred spirits in many ways. I live in Utah and am a 9th generation member of the Lord's restored church. My daughter is the 10th generation and the 11th generation is around the corner (in ten years or so). We are descended from Joseph and Polly Knight, close friends of Joseph Smith and his family. Like Joseph Knight, I feel a very strong connection to the Prophet Joseph. I have also felt strong connections to other modern and ancient day prophets, including President Nelson. I am very grateful for my membership in the Lord's church and for yours. It is truly amazing to me how the Lord does His work and how He draws towards Himself all who will hear and respond to His voice. I have really appreciated hearing your testimony through many videos and have felt the witness of the Holy Ghost several times confirming certain things you have said. I look forward to many more such experiences! Your brother in the Gospel, Aaron.
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony!
I also became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints after being raised Baptist. I was given a Book of Mormon at 17 and knew immediately it was from God like the Bible is. 13 years later I was baptized and was disowned for awhile by my parent. But, it was the best decision I ever made in my life! I’ve been a faithful member now for 39 and 1/2 years! I love hearing your stories! Keep on sharing and studying- God bless you!!
I’m so excited to hear what you think about this “End of The Age” doctrine that I am reposting it in multiple videos in the hope that you’ll see it….
Thank you David for your heartwarming testimony. As a lifelong latter-day Saint and seeker of truth, it’s nice to be reminded of the blessings we have here within the restored church.
As someone who has a deep understanding of the Bible, I thought that you might really enjoy listening to the Micheal Rush video linked below. It’s quite deep LDS doctrine…. I’ve been spiritually reinvigorated in my study of the Scriptures because of it. God bless you!
Thanks for your praise and music🎵🎵🙏☺
People wonder how the Church of Jesus Christ can make one happy 😃…..I’ll tell you how, LIVE WHAT THE PROPHETS AND APOSTLES TEACH US!! AND THE WORDS FROM JESUS, HIMSELF….HE SPEAKS HIMSELF AND THROUGH HIS CHOSEN SERVANTS. HE SAYS THAT THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME!!
Brother Alexander, have you talked to your bishop about getting your patriarchal blessing?
Thank you for your testimony! I felt inspired to share my testimony with the primary children last year through videos like you are doing. MTC for kids come from "My Testimony of Christ."
We just created a video for kids about testimony and the recipe for finding truth. Keep sharing your testimony! The world needs more light! Thanks again!
Thank you David for your videos. It brightens my days and helps renew my testimony. I haven't always been active in the past. But you have helped me to understand you don't have to be perfect to try to do your best and the Lord will help you with the rest. Anyway. I just really wanted to let you know how much these videos have helped me the last few weeks.
Extra-nice song @ the end!
Thank you Brother Alexander for sharing your heartfelt testimony with us all. I know that sharing our testimonies with each other and through social media, we can all help to reach those who are searching for the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am grateful to have a testimony that Christ has restored his church on the earth again today and that we have a prophet on the earth today and apostles to guide us and lead us through these troubled times.
I know they have been given the authority to work in the name of Jesus Christ.
I know by following these leaders, we will stay on the straight path that will lead us back into the presence of our Heavenly Father. We will go through hard times, but the Holy Ghost has been given to us to personally guide us and strengthen us. Jesus Christ loves us and wants us to succeed. Pray with gratitude and pray for what you need. Study the scriptures that you may have understanding. Be ready to except his will and not your own. Always put him first in whatever you do. You will then have a joy within you that the world cannot touch. Remember that Christ has overcome the world. It will all be worth it. I testify of these things in the sacred name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Please find these sisters and do a joint podcast with them!
You are a saint! even when you didn't think you were! Love you and your wonderful spirt!🤗

I think more and more we can and we must!
I'm working up to recording and sharing mine with you. I've never made an Internet video so it's a bit daunting.
You can do it Michael! It will be daunting the first time, much easier the second time...and then you will have it licked! Anything worth doing...is daunting the first time. Thanks for being an overcomer!
You'll love the temple David. Can't wait
Hello David I love you and keep up the amazing work LDS all the way
Thanks brother ❤
Hey David, love your testimony and this channel! I'm wondering if you could help me understand how Evangelicals and other Christian faiths who claim to know the Bible can justify their believe in the Trinity (One God - God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are one personage). It makes no sense when I read the New Testament. I'm not sure how someone who knows the Bible would think that God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit aren't three distinct personages. When Christ prays, he doesn't pray to himself. He's not crazy. He talks about doing "His Father's will". When Christ was baptized, a voice spoke from heaven saying, "This is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased", and Christ is in the water, and the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove. That shows 3 distinct individuals. When Christ was on the cross, he said "Father forgive them..." Why didn't he say, "I forgive you"...When the resurrected Christ appeared to Mary, he told her not to touch him because he hadn't ascended to his Father in heaven yet. If God the Father and Jesus Christ are the same being, this statement makes absolutely no sense at all. But if they are separate personages, it makes total sense. Also, when Stephen was being stoned, he looked up into heaven and saw Jesus standing on the right hand side of God the Father. Two distinct personages. So I'm not sure how Christians reading the bible (new testament) can think there is only one God, and that Jesus is talking to himself and praying to himself (God the Father). It just doesn't make any sense. Christ isn't a lunatic. So how can mainstream Bible loving Christians believe the Trinity nonsense???
John Berry, there is a really good channel that helps people understand how evangelicals see the scriptures. If you look up come follow me FAIR you should be able to find it. Jennifer Roach was raised in an evangelical mega church and later became an ordained minister in the Anglican church. Through a small series of miracles, she ended up joining the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints a few years ago. She knows what both evangelicals and Latter-day saints mean when certain religious terms are used and she is a skillful interpreter. I have learned so much from her videos. I used to be absolutely perplexed when people would say we didn't believe in Jesus or that we had a "different " Jesus. Now, I finally know what they mean, even though they are wrong.
Not to worry, only fools mock, Either 12:26. Keep the beginning with the end in mind.
I love you David ❤
That reference to let there be light, the Holy Spirit acted upon it, then the light was on. I am aware of that scripture. I've heard once before the Holy Spirit is in charge of the laws of universe, like gravity, etc. David just mentioned that. Are there any teachings on what I just said?
Great thumbnail!
If these things are true, why do you have to reinforce them every day?
If I put my hand in a fire and get burned, I know this is a true thing, I don't need to test it out every day .
Please respond 🙏
Of course, the Truth needs constant reinforcement and promotion and defence....because it is under the constant assault of the Accuser of the Brethren, of the Liar and the Father of Lies, the Prince of the Power of the Air, the spirit which is at work in the sons of disobedience....who constantly stander, oppose and assault the truth....so this is why...Paul, in Hebrews 3:12-15, commands those who love the truth...to DAILY EXHORT ONE ANOTHER.
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Humans have faulty memories, what if you saw a video of someone doing a trick to touch fire without getting burned, I've seen these, what if a large amount of people you hear saying it is a lie and you can touch fire without being burned, you may start to doubt your memory, maybe think you just did it wrong, start finding ways to explain it off
Unless the Spirit of Jesus lives in you, you are playing like you are a Christian.
He IS
Saul stop persecuting the saint of God. Have you not listened to a word this man has said. He is a modern day Paul, he was just like you a so-called believer persecuting the real Saints, until God called him to change and now that he has seen the light you cannot stop his zeal for the restored church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints, led by apostles and prophets evangelist and teachers, with revelation and authority on the earth again. His testimony like Paul’s will be heard by the known world! You should join him.
@@MichaelSaline - if the LDS Church believes Jesus is Lucifer's brother, they have another Jesus. Why? Jesus is the Creator (Col 1:16-17) who has always existed and who created Lucifer; therefore, they cannot be brothers.
@@Jerry2Murray yea the sadducees and Pharisees couldn’t see the big picture either. I could explain all day long but until you have eyes to see and ears to hear, it is a way of saying until you open your heart and really want to know the truth it will evade you. You cannot see God’s masterpiece by trying to look through a few small holes. You have to open the door then you will be able to take it all in. Just remember those that crucified Christ thought they knew everything about the lord themselves. You are blinded by the same hate. I really do wish you well stop spreading hate open your eyes and see
@@MichaelSaline - the same hate? When the Lord Jesus enters a person and dwells in them, one experiences his presence, his peace, and his power. I will remain in God's hands and bask in his light because I have passed the test of Romans 8:9 and 2 Corinthians 3:15. I know I am saved and sealed by the Holy Spirit:
"And the testimony is this: God has given us eternal life [we already possess it], and this life is in His Son [resulting in our spiritual completeness, and eternal companionship with Him]. He who has the Son [by accepting Him as Lord and Savior] has the life [that is eternal]; he who does not have the Son of God [by personal faith] does not have the life.
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God [which represents all that Jesus Christ is and does], so that you will know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have eternal life." (I John 5)
God, the creator, is only one, not two, not three.
God is perfect, and his messages is also perfect.. It's the same message which given to all his prophets, Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, jacube,Moses, David soliman, Zakaria, Jesus nd the last prophet Mohammed (peace be upon them all).
God almighty has no son, no wife, no partners.
Jesus Christ' is not God, not son of God, not equal to God.
Jesus Christ is only slave nd messaganger of God, may be one of his greatest prophets.
Jesus himself never claim he's God or hes son of God.
Still in the current Bible, u can't fined that Jesus himself said " im God worship me".
Word "trinity", not found in the current scriptures..
Jesus christ himself ws prostrating and pray for his God.. U can read that much in Bible..
