"My Soul Delighteth in the Covenants of the Lord" by Wendy W. Nelson | BYU Women's Conference, 2015

"It is my testimony, my dear sisters, that there is nothing more important than making covenants with God and then keeping them with increasing precision, because making covenants with God calls forth the divine within us. And keeping our covenants with God allows Him to pour His divine power into us."-Wendy Watson Nelson

This address has brought me to action. I have made two Temple appointments and followed a sudden prompt to invite a complete stranger to church, all the while pausing this video to do so.😊 Thank you, Wendy, for your special spirit.

@@FFM115 FD, friend of rend: having prophets of God has never been idolatry. Also, Isaiah beautifully referred to his wife as “the prophetess.” Words in languages are used in artful senses at times, and it has always been so. I hope your 2023 is full of light, delight, and peace. Above all, peace!

Sister Wendy is one woman who always seems to know what to say at times when women need to receive answers. I do believe she is inspired by the Lord Himself, to reach each and every soul that has ears to hear and eyes to see. What an immeasurable blessing this precious daughter of our Heavenly Father is to the world in this day and age... she is my top woman to listen to for answers to my own prayers right next to Sister Dew. They have both blessed me with answers that I feel only women can pass along to other women.

Thank you so much for your holy service and missionary work. I knew there are a lot to just being listening to the prophet and apostles. When I got into the family history work byu online courses, last spring semester 2021 I knew it was something more. Thank you for being the hands of the Lord to uplift the hands of the feeble and a trumpet to the sleeping spirited children of God. I love missionary work and family history…the gap in between different countries that brings difficulties but the very scripture-“with God all things are possible” is my story at this time and place. Stay beautiful and healthy. Love you ❤!

[@paulslake411]

Hi

[@paulgreco7421]

@@paulslake411 I’m a Mormon. We should believe the Scriptures, not man. And the Scriptures testify the Mormon Church is the only true Church of Jesus Christ on earth. But if something is taught that can't be verified by Scripture, think twice about believing it. I understand why so many people are leaving the church. Many false doctrines exist causing countless KZbin videos mocking Mormonism. False doctrines like grandpa gods, (God the Father has a father), Mormons becoming gods of their own planets, Adam helped create the earth, Christ and Satan are brothers, God the Father has rarely spoken in Scripture, the African Americans were bad in the pre-existence; all of which no Scripture verifies. And many are leaving the church because if you don't fit the mold the church leaders sculpture you're not a part of the click. Mormons believe the church leaders over Scripture. The zealous believers have the church leaders in mind with everything thing they think say and feel testifying to impress others how much they believe the current church leaders are God-inspired. But the Scriptures reveal the church leaders are the problem with the entire planet. For example, In 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 we are informed of a person revealed as the son of perdition. This son of perdition sits in the temple of God making himself God or above all that is called God. Therefore, if the Mormon Church is the only true church, and I believe it is and will back that belief using the Scriptures, then the only person 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 could be talking about is the current Mormon prophet. For what other church is the one and only true church with temples? And Joseph Smith taught a son of perdition can only be a church member holding all the rites of God's priesthood and using the priesthood against God as did Judas. Therefore, who else other than the current Mormon prophet could the apostle Paul be speaking of? It's as plain as the nose on a face. And even God in the Doctrine and Covenants tells us about the current church leaders and how displeased He is saying the end of this world will begin among them. (D&C 112:23-26) Joseph Smith taught the false doctrine of grandpa gods (God the Father has a father) not over the pulpit as a prophet but as a sermon at a funeral, which should not be taken as Scripture fulfilling God’s sayings to Paul, And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: (2 Thessalonians 2:11) That they might be damned who believed not the truth….(2Thessalonians 2:12) And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (Revelation 13:7) (D&C 112:23-26) And the current Mormon prophet is the son of perdition because he has all the saints believing God our Heavenly Father was created by a being greater than Himself but Scripture says there is no greater than our God. (Hebrews 6:13) Therefore, the son of perdition has all the saints breaking the first commandment God gave Moses, Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Does it make sense to reasonable thinking that God would command we have no other gods before Him but really there are? Does He not want us to know this? Why is it a secret? There’s a reason He commanded to have no other gods before Him. Because by believing in false grandpa gods the saints believe our God is an infinitely lesser God putting Lucifer before God. And the moment we put a god before our God, our God becomes an infinitely lesser God. Not only that, our God also becomes a liar. He and the Scriptures says He is the greatest of all. He and the Scriptures says He is the Most High God. He and the Scriptures say He created all things. And in the Scriptures He says over and over there are no gods beside Him. (Isaiah 44:6) (Isaiah 44:8) (Isaiah 45:22) (Hebrews 6:13) Therefore, the saints believing there are gods before Him is the saints believing the son of perdition or the current Mormon prophet over the Scriptures and calling God and the Scriptures a lie. And Isaiah warns, Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20) The saints call the son of perdition (President Nelson) good and good (Jesus Christ) evil. Because President Nelson says Christ and His Father are liars. President Nelson says Christ did not create all things. (John 1:1-3) Matter/energy cannot be created or destroyed the scientists say therefore the son of perdition or President Nelson says the grandpa gods created these calling Christ and the Scriptures a lie. Well did Abinadi warn the wicked king Noah and his priests, Have ye taught this people that they should observe to do all these things for to keep these commandments? (Mosiah 13:25) I say unto you, Nay; for if ye had, the Lord would not have caused me to come forth and to prophesy evil concerning this people. (Mosiah 13:26) And what is the commandment Abinadi taught that the people do not obey? Thou shalt have no other God before me. (Mosiah 12:35) Know ye not that I speak the truth? Yea, ye know that I speak the truth; and you ought to tremble before God. (Mosiah 12:30) And it is a false doctrine to say God our Heavenly Father has rarely spoke to us in Scripture. (3 Nephi 27:26), (3 Nephi 24:1). (2 Nephi 31:20), (2 Nephi 31:11) Beware of the doctrine of the scribes and Pharisees. (Matthew 16:6-12)

[@williamcharles2117]

I've never seen comments for an LDS video where people didn't gush over the speaker and the content. I don't see it. I see endless platitudes.

[@kensrobertson]

Such platitudes are simply eternal truths. As such you'll hear them repeatedly if you listen to inspired teachers. Those who listen with a sensitivity to the Holy Ghost often experience its influence and that's what you hear people gushing over. Personal revelation is pretty thrilling to experience 😊

[@williamcharles2117]

@Ken Robertson - and sometimes the platitudes are so that those invested in the belief can get fuzzy feeling which they then can say was the Holy Ghost. Yet there's countless examples where such "discernment" doesn't work including with the prophets validating the Hoffman letters. It's pretending that the knowledge is "revealed" when nothing of the sort is happening.

[@kensrobertson]

@williamcharles - have you experienced personal revelation from the Holy Ghost that moved you to act? Do you know what it is like to know you are receiving a message from God meant personally for you?

[@williamcharles2117]

@Ken Robertson - but seriously... don't you see a Stepford Wives quality to it? "[X] was so wonderful/inspirational/uplifting... yadda, yadda, yadda." Never any questions of depth (that I've seen at least) or any sort of contrasting modern doctrine from what was espoused in the past. So much waffling. Either the prophet was speaking as a man, or God decided it was time to change things. Those are a lot of "eternal truths" that get drastically revised over a relatively short period. That's just my $.02. I do appreciate your response though. Thank you. Warm wishes.

[@MommaCrissa]

We all have pause buttons.

[@AlbertJLouie]

When you seek answers from the Book of Mormon instead of the Bible, God can't help you because you have turned your back on Him. Therefore this leaves the door open for Satan (II Corinthians 11:14-15) to step into your life with a false christ or prophet showing you signs and wonders to lead you away from the real Jesus of the Bible who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. God Himself warns us about this in MATTHEW 24:23-24 "Then if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Christ! or There! do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect..." Mormons teach and believe that their jesus is the brother of Satan, which contradicts what God says in His Bible that Jesus is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. So Mormons, which Jesus do you believe in? A. Your jesus of the Book of Mormon, who is the brother of Satan. OR B. The Jesus of the Bible who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity.

[@MommaCrissa]

I think if you really understood the big picture you would be in love with the Book of Mormon. First thing's first, receive a broken heart and contrite spirit. Blessings to you.

[@AlbertJLouie]

@Christmas Girl The Mormon church believes that the angel Moroni came down from heaven and gave Joseph Smith the Book of Mormon. Let's hear what God Himself says about this claim in: GALATIANS 1:6-9 "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who CALLED you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed..." There you are, God Himself telling you that He did not send any angel from heaven to Joseph Smith. Therefore the Book of Mormon is considered false doctrine.

[@MommaCrissa]

@@AlbertJLouie So you spend all your time re-educating all the Mormons. Everyone must be so thankful. What a life.

[@AlbertJLouie]

@Christmas Girl Yes, because the Mormon church has hidden many Bible verses from you that will effect your eternity (heaven or hell).

[@AlbertJLouie]

@Christmas Girl And why you Mormons start off all nice and friendly. But when people question you about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, you Mormons get ugly. God gives us all the right to question anyone who says they are of God. I John 4:1 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God. Because many false prophets have gone out into the world.." You Mormons don't like to be tested. Because there is no truth in the Book of Mormon.
