Bruce R. McConkie's final testimony - April, 1985

[@noonewholovesme1]

This talk was the best I wouldn't forget it ❤

[@katedahlke4402]

This is one of my all time favorite conference testimonies of our Savior Jesus Christ! Anyone familiar with Elder McConkie's public addresses knows he isn't one to become teary-eyed at all. He was at the end of his battle with cancer having defied the odds several times to this point, but now he knew it was the end. He was told by many it was time to let go and rest. However, he knew he had to share this final testimony before he could do that. As he practiced the talk over and over at home, he could not do it without becoming overcome with emotion and collapsing. Although most everyone felt he had done enough and should not even attend conference, much less try to stand and give such an emotional address, his wife could see this was something he had to do so she called all the family and asked them to fast and pray that he could give his final testimony without becoming so emotional so as not to be able to finish. So with the faith, prayers and fasting of his family to buoy him up, he was able to share his final testimony with the world! Then he finally felt he had done all he came here to do and he went to bed to rest. There he stayed until 13 days later he was at the feet of His Savior, just as he testified of in his final testimony! So beautiful and unforgettable!

+Kate Dahlke McConkie will forever be remembered for his strength and his final words, not unlike some of the great prophets of the OT, NT, and BOM. This last testimony is simple, yet powerful. Anyone who wishes to see anything but that, is looking for something that isn't there, yet everyone has the free agency to judge for themselves.

[@j.huffhumble4281]

Kate Dahlke awesome My mother always told me as a little boy about Apostle McConkie . She said he was an amazing man that loved God. She was right. It’s been nearly 40 years since my mom told me about him. I now get to learn and grow as a man and Christian by listening to his testimony ! Thank you mom and thank you Apostle McConkie for showing me what a true disciple of Christ must do to help other people. We must endure to the end and love God and our neighbors and bear our testimonies !!!!!!! We must become like all the saints that came before us who gave their lives and never gave up and finished the race of life !!!!!!

[@harrybarron5713]

Dailton Magnago i was a member of lds. No longer and since then while being non mormon i have a personal witness of angels and messengers. When i say personal. Its not a feeling its not a dream and its not a vision allthose can happen in combination. A witness actually has physical contact. Touch. Can physically sight. See the angel messenger in real life and speaks with that messenger who gets close enough to whisper sacred instructions in your ear. My whitness did that. An angel appeared to me in the form of a human and did and said things. Instructed me to then follow certain instructions. Im not going to say what was said as there was a reason that personage whispered in my ear. Who had a body and said things you wouldnt understand if i told you yet were their way of secretly communicating so no one else especially evil ones should know their methods and plans. Did mcconkie have a personal witness as in a personal visitation from a higher being? I did. So I am a witness.

@@harrybarron5713 You are delusional. And it might interest you to know that McConkie had a series of spiritual experiences throughout his life. Lol even the infamous 1978 revelation

[@harrybarron5713]

@@jime3281 how can someone be delusional when the event actually happened. Before I was sceptical of such things but after it happened I can not deny it. I'm not bothered if you believe me or not. However if you ever wanted to know if angels are real or not. You either get to meet one yourself which will be your personal witness that they exist or the next best thing is someone else who has witnessed them. The second scenario of having a second hand experience is there will always be that doubt like you have now. I was the same, when ever someone else claimed they were a medium or had contacts with angels or the afterlife I would have to either take their word for it or be dismissive or think they were delusional or even a crackpot. But let me tell you Jim, when it happens to yourself. You become a witness. Trust me if you saw what I saw you would know the truth. Unfortunately I could never convince you it happened. And I guess that's their way of doing things and I'm sure they have their reasons why not everyone in the world has a witness. ( I have my theory why angels don't appear to everyone) you know Jim, my personal experience was I guess for me. They only showed me what they wanted me to know. I didn't see the whole picture of the universe and the reasons and purpose of life. But I did have 2 Angels come to me at a time I wasn't expecting or even thought. They appeared to me when my life was in critical danger and they kept me alive and brought me through that moment. During that process I was shown things pertaining to life and the eternities and things pertaining to me that they decided I should see and know. Jim I don't know you but as I write this please have no doubts of what I am saying. These things actually happened to me. I have no reason to lie or make this up. I wish you health, happiness. love and a good life. I don't know your personal circumstances they may or may not be good. But whatever you are going through I hope you live your life with love, kindness and good deeds to your fellow humans on this planet.

Simple and elegant, yet invoking the spirit so powerfully that it has been etched in my brain. When I first heard a particular album with "I Believe in Christ" by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, I stopped in my tracks as Bruce R. McConkie read the words to the song he had written the words to, and wept openly. I told my family that this was like a ghost coming back to deliver a special message.

You would also mock those converts in Acts 2:38-39, who were motivated to commit to Christ and be baptized after they were "pricked in their heart."

Happily Married Yes I do absolutely I just came from a baptism in our local ward an hour ago and it was a remarkable thing to see

[@高柳忠明]

thank you very very much.

[@jawjww]

I love Jesus and his apostles.

[@johnrowley310]

Which apostles???

[@KaiandAdrianjestandgilandharry]

Me too

[@trcline100]

This man lived under the label of an LDS Apostle. But after listening to this, it is evident that he understood what being a follower of Christ was about, and he understood Christ's sacrifice for him. I have no doubt that he is in Heaven right now.

[@johnroberts6695]

+Trystin Cline «{it is evident that he understood what being a follower of Christ was about....}» Yes, I think you'll find that's true of many of our leaders. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that a number of them had seen and conversed with the Master, as Joseph Smith and others did. If it happened anciently, why not today?

[@vmarden1972]

I could not agree more. He was an Apostle's Apostle. Great through the end.

[@kitadams567]

so grateful to finally hear this takh

[@rfrmacvideos]

A great and informational talk. May God bless him. I believe 11 days latter he to met his maker.

[@jeremiahlintz2116]

What a wonderful testimony

[@Ether-pb5gb]

Listened to this talk while I was puking my brains out in the bathroom, wishing I was dead. The last scripture he quoted was what I read while in the temple yesterday. Tender mercy. Still wish I was dead due to the pain, but tender mercy nonetheless

[@lukegardenhire8187]

Who would dislike this?

[@miltonstephen1182]

Great testimony. what more else can you do about it until Judgement day ask him.

[@mtpspublishinghub1876]

I know all things he said are purely the words of God. I hope that someday all people in the world will seen the truthfulness of the restored Gospel of the lord Jesus Christ. And someday learn the laws and principles of spirituality for them to stop understanding things literally but try to learn and understand the truth of life.

[@ldgarland405]

Robert. That is a beautiful sentiment. But why would you want someone to see the church. After all the church and its gospel doesn't save anyone. Only Jesus has, and can do that. My hope is that one day the LDS church openly and publicly and completely owns up to all the lies, deceit, and contradictions they have done in the name of Jesus. That will truly be a day the spirit of Jesus walks among all men.

[@jtwoolley]

this is a beautiful talk

[@robertgentry1294]

THIS talk is the all time great talk of all the great talks. IMO

[@nathancovey]

One of my favorite talks of all time

[@shawnbusken]

Hey scott, I'm going to share this with my priests quorum this Sunday.

[@derekcarmack8779]

Simple and true.

[@bradjames891]

Whenever we sing I Believe in Christ at Church, which is often :), I can just picture Elder McConkie saying these words and I always think of this talk, it's the greatest talk of this dispensation. King Benjamin's is the best of all time though!

[@johnrowley310]

I like the words of Jesus recorded in the Bible better than this guy or Benji...

[@rconger384]

14:52 "...I shall not know any better then than I know NOW..." I still remember meeting the Apostle briefly during my mission. Can still remember the feeling of his great fleshly grasp when for a moment he shook hands with me in a large chapel in a Holywood stake center in Northern Ireland. I met him. That was in 1979. But in those immortal words, he met Jesus. 14:52

[@joselizardo7219]

Muy santo el Elder Bruce R.McConkie

[@valeriesmith912]

Beautiful!

[@jtwoolley]

nICE.

[@Eclipton]

He died way too soon. I wish he had lived longer. I was only three weeks old when he died. He was one of the greatest Apostles of this dispensation.

[@PapaKryptoss]

I got to shake his hand and visit him in 1976 when he spoke at our stake conference. I'll never forget him

[@LadySunshine4eveR]

Such a precious & truthful testimony, given by an apostle of the Lord!!! For anyone who denies the testimony born here in this video, I would say that you should humble yourself & pray unto God the Heavenly Father in the name of His only Begotten Son in the flesh if these things are true! If you ask in sincerity of heart as I have done, then you will receive a testimony of the truthfulness of these things! For any who refuse to do that & wish to bring contention from Satan here amongst those who have gained witness of these things from the Holy Ghost, then I shall strive to ignore you! However, being a daughter of the true & living God, I will feel sad for any who are so blinded by Satan's deceit & strive to cause contention!

[@papahansel3136]

LITERALLY WEEPING WITH HIM!
