Come Follow Me - Genesis 42-50: "Joseph & His Brothers"

[@TheJlleyba]

You have no idea how blessed I am from your lessons. I thank our Heavenly Parents and our elder brother Jesus Christ daily for blessing me with the lessons and personal messages that never fail to answer my prayers, the one of few good things that came forth from Covid-19. Thank you, seventy x seven!

[@kmattinson]

I have never loved nor appreciated the scriptures more than I do now with your guided facilitation. Thank you, good brother, for your sweet insights and thoughtful instruction and invitation. I look forward to your weekly posts. I love studying the scriptures and so very grateful for you, your time, your commitment, your expertise and your inspiration. May God continue to bless you and bless all of us as we continue to learn more and more. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

My heart is full today. Thank you for sharing your talents and knowledge.

[@jacquelineharrison9810]

Thank you for all your amazing teaching. It takes gospel study to a whole new level. I’ve commented before that I lost my fiancé and father 4 weeks apart. It’s been 8 months now. Watching your lesson on D&C 76 in the middle of the night is what led me to you and Ive watched every single day since then and it’s the way I start my day. It has been such a help and my growth in the gospel has been exponential and a much better option than drowning in the depths of despair due to loss. Thank you for everything. Please continue teaching it helps so many.

[@matthewmiller8642]

This guy is such a good teacher!!

[@latter-daysaintchristian4134]

Dear Brother Halverson, Your videos and lessons have helped me through one of the darkest times of my life. Your insights to the scriptures have brought me to a greater appreciation of the Savior, and my relationship with him has grown so much, and I am able to feel His peace. Although I’ve felt the Spirit many times while reading the Book of Mormon, I’ve never had that same experience when reading the Old Testament on my own. Now it is a delight to me. Thank you for all you do.

[@davidspjut9365]

Brother Jared….for the past two years, your prayer has been answered. As I was led to your lessons, through your faithful dedication to the Spirit of Truth, your humble testimony has touched my heart…your gifted teachings have flamed the pure fire of these sacred works, and helped to ignite a new desire to understand them. How blessed I am to share with you a combined desire to draw closer to Our Lord, and to The Father through this Holy Spirit. I have never met you yet, but we are brothers in this quest. Keep up the good work😇👍. David

[@havenlyfamily]

Amen 💕

Thank you brother. I joined the church 8 months ago and you inspired me to finish the Book of Mormon which I did and now I am deep studying doctrines and covenants. Thank you for all your insights. It will help me as I go on my mission in 4 months.

While I have loved and appreciated all the explanations and applications of gospel principles and doctrines, I just love your exposing these scriptural characters with their vulnerabilities, personal struggles, emotions etc., and how these things were really key parts of the stories. I cannot thank you enough for all you invest in your lessons. They are truly a precious gift to all your followers.

These lessons are a blessing to each of us and each one GLORIFIES OUR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. ❤️

[@ronhuneault2554]

Thank you Brother Halverson for sharing and bringing back to my memory the one brother a sibling who is and was an instrument of my conversion as I accepted the gospel to be baptized on his anniversary death date of 12 years.That was a vital hinge point in my life. With your teaching methods you have helped this brother (me) grow. I'm preparing myself and my Fiance now to go to the House of the Lord In the Philippines. Your lessons have helped me to understand more fully the true purpose of temple covenants and covenant keeping. The tears I shed now as Joseph did are of joy, recognition, understanding. Thank You

[@cynthiacarter7988]

Every week I am strengthened by your testimony and your teaching. Thank you.

[@jimpennycollingridge9235]

Brother Jared, I am a new Seminary teacher. I have been a member all my life but never have done an in depth study of the Old Testament. Now I am needing to teach it! I can thank you deeply for your teaching and bringing out the types and shadows of Christ, the deeper meanings and clarification of doctrines, the added cultural information that helps with the understanding of why and what. This brings the stories to life for me. I totally drink in every hour you pour into your lessons. I am learning so much more than I ever could on my own. It really helps me in my teaching our wonderful youth. Thank you Thank you for sharing your testimony and your gospel knowledge!! Sister Collingridge in BC.

1:19:00 I needed to hear... 1:19:55 lesson to be learnt🙂 1:23:12 Yep, fallen into that trap too and struggle with it. Not sure how to deal with this one, to be honest. But...God knows what we're going through with the ' Blame '... I wonder though, if Joseph didn't see a change in his brothers, what would be his attitude towards his brothers? 1:29:00 Has given me great food for thought. 2:47:04 We doubt sometimes to forgive ourselves and beleive Jesus Christ is allowing us to move forward...That's a concept we need to remember, always. Thank you, Bro Jared Halverson for edifying my spirit weekly.

[@novawarren5074]

I have found out that many people have come to turn on your videos and love your teaching abilities and I hope you never stop your videos of helping us learn. Even if they have to be shortened. And I love long classes, and the 2 part of the stories. Hopefully your daughter is enjoying the other videos and things she is doing.

[@kimpatience3077]

You have such a beautiful gift, Jared. Thank you for being so awesome to teach us. For using your gift to help God's children. I am from the tribe of Gad. This lesson has helped me to understand on a deeper level. Much love brother Jared.

Gracias de todo corazón por el tiempo y la dedicación a estas clases. Las escucho siempre durante la semana. Me han ayudado a fortalecer más mi testimonio de las cosas escritas en las escrituras y el propósito que tenemos cada uno en esta experiencia terrenal. Soy de Colombia y vivo en Alabama. Hermano quiero que sepa que me agrada muchísimo cuando incluye el español y experiencias de su misión. Gracias enormemente por compartir su esposa y sus hijos a través de las lecciones. Que Nuestro Padre Celestial continue bendiciendo su hogar y más importante que su familia lleguen de regreso a nuestro Dios eterno!!🙏🏼

[@janjones4550]

"Lord, increase my faith in Thee so I have power to forgive." I have learned that forgiveness is a deliberate choice. It is a mental decision. Then at some point the Lord fills me with an overwhelming love for the individual and then allows me to feel HIS forgiveness for them. I have especially noticed that the Lord wants His Bishops forgiven. For the above process is ever consistent when the person I need to forgive is/was my Bishop. And it's an amazing feeling!!! In that process, I'm always waiting and looking for the feeling of forgiveness. That's how I know I have been able to forgive. But the process always begins with a conscious mental choice to forgive.

[@ewasundwall5052]

Thank you, love these lessons, they feed my spirit.

Hey Brother Halverson, love the chapter headings. Makes reviewing your videos easier and time saving. You’re AWESOME!!! Thank you very much Unshaken series

[@marklippold1441]

I stand in awe of your testimony and knowledge of the scriptures.

[@caz2870]

Your Prayer, taking off your shoes ( holy ground) , honering and praising God before your lessons for us, is truly humbling.🙏🏻 , The song 'You know better than I' is a beautiful song, and has great meaning. Forgiveness has its difficulties sometimes, I guess. Not always immediate to forgive because it depends on the trauma and impact on the life/lives , to freely forgive and allow God to take away that pain.

[@mem01615]

Dear Brother Halverson, Thank you and bless you for putting me right INTO the stories of the families of the Bible like no one has before. It feels more a part of my own genealogy like never before and I feel so much closer to my ancestors written about and also those not written about. You have been truly blessed to be able to bless other’s understanding. Thank you for being willing to take so much of your time to do that. I can say my husband and I love you and thank you beyond measure.

[@karinabloom135]

Well then your prayers are answered because these lessons bring me so close to christ and i am so grateful to father for you and these scripturre revelations

[@janedeloatch9939]

Thank you so much. You have given me so much to ponder, clarified so much for me. I want my family to hear you explain this. It makes it come alive. They are all fence sitters. I want them to come down on the side of Christ. I have a difficult time focusing on prayer. I was in a bad car accident and away from home 5 months. I had a hard time praying in the hospital and rehab. Now I just feel unsettled about everything. It’s frustrating and I want my family to realise how blessed we’ve been throughout this trial. I listen to you almost everyday trying to catch up my CFM lessons. I’m just finishing Genesis. I never got so much out of it before in my whole life. I’m 57, and have read it many times; now I understand it. Thank you again. You really are a great and gifted teacher. I wish my son could meet you. We live in Roanoke Virginia. Too far away. His faith crisis is overwhelming sometimes, and my other son refuses to read or listen. It’s hard. Thank you again. Jane DeLoatch

I appreciate the beautiful way in which you told us this extraordinary story of Joseph who was sold in Egypt. My Patriarchal blessing, and this story tie up together beautifully; so because of that particular thing I thank you very much. May the Lord bless you for your talent to explain such wonderful story, and how it mentions the three other Joseph's, and it ties beautifully the Book of Mormon and the Bible, like Ezekiel prophesized. A heart felt thank you brother Halverson.

[@JennyG.COW5]

Thank you for your humility and willingness to share these lessons with whomever is willing to learn. I am grateful for the guidance God has given me to be lead here. I will always be grateful for the lesson you gave about the stages of the "Garden, Fall, and Atonement", and how much this analogy can reflect our lives. While there are always different temptations to distract and detract from my fortitude to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I am trying to get back on track and immerse myself in Gospel study from your lessons, as well as other faithful Saints. I wanted to add that I am grateful that you decided to take the time to go through all the verses of the other tribes. I think we know about Ephraim, Judah, and Levi so much, that we unfortunately forget about the other sons of Israel. I am grateful that you helped pull out things that we can learn from each tribe and recognize our weaknesses and strengths. I found myself identifying with some of the personalities or struggles/strengths from the other Tribes of Israel, and I love learning more about how I consider what you're trying to teach me (& others) so that I can get up from where I've fallen short, and become a little bit better than I am, each new day! 🙂❤️

Dear Brother Halvorson, your lessons have become invaluable to me, a 44 year convert. I have learned to love the scriptures, to see Jesus Christ in the stories, to catch a glimpse of the Character of our Heavenly Father. I began watching your videos soon after you started posting them. I have watched each lesson since. The length of the lessons is not an issue! I watch every minute. Thank you so much for your preparation, insights, and testimony. Your lessons are part of my weekly Come, Follow Me program and are greatly appreciated.

[@pammeliamaughan9819]

Thank you for what you said about forgiveness. I want to forgive, and I tell myself I'm not mad at that person anymore and that's good enough, even though I know the Lord when he forgives us he remembers it no more. You have given me the tools I need to forgive completely, and it is just like our Heavenly father to make something so hard, so easy.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

We often worry too much about being tough on oursleves or on others. Sometimes, tough love, as the Savior shows through Joseph to his brothers, is exactly what is needed to learn, for to learn intellectually does not have the same impact as learning situationally via life's consequences, the tangible superiror to the theoretical.

[@juliekoester7776]

I don’t know how that you do it. I read the scriptures and all that I see are words in a page. You…you see beauty…you see parallels.

[@woodwood9797]

I am so grateful to find a person who sees things so symbolically as I do. Sometimes, I feel crazy cause I feel and learn everything in symbols, and to find someone who teaches on a way higher symbolic level, plus weaves in other amazing history from Jewish religion and cultures and others, is just so amazing. I am glad I "stumbled" onto this site or the algorithms detected my symbolic afinities and tendencies to view things on a spectrum, comparing opposite thinking. So refreshing. Best class ever in my life so far. Thanks again.

[@woodwood9797]

What I had never considered before was the differing levels of symbology surrounding the dreams of the prisoners (the baker and butler). One involved the wine/cup, the other the bread, and then the three days in prison before death or escape (life). Never saw that. Wow!

[@judycook643]

I am so grateful n thankful for Bro. Halverson as you testify of all that you shared with us for thy Spirit always bares witness to me of those truths as you are sharing them.

I’m Sooo grateful for all of your teachings! They have taught me so much since you started and my one desire is to become more unshaken as some of my family members have left the church. I’ve understood principles more deeply than before that is fortifying me and bringing a newfound confidence and newfound tolerance and appreciation for others who don’t believe like I do. I appreciate your love for all and in every religion and the depth of your study. You are truly an instrument in the Lords hand and blessing so many lives. I love talking with my mother about what we have learned from you! I do believe one of my favorite songs “Better than I” is sung by David Campbell! I love Dallyn Bayless and I was also confused for awhile since I listened to his music and he sings so similarly and sings “Better than I” as one of his songs on his “Prayer” CD.

Cannot wait to hear this lesson. And not to mention all the pictures for each lesson they are AMAZING love the artwork, we are so Blessed each week, it's like partaking of the Sacrament each week with a bonus, not blaspheming here, just saying how much I love to learn the scriptures and the meaning and all that we miss when we read them, this would be my 5th time reading the Old Testament and I love it. I have to add as serious as this lesson is how Brother Jared explains the going through the sacks from Rueben down to Benjamin, how Simeon should have stayed in jail, brings back memories of my sons and I have 9 sons one set of twins with the boys and 3 girls and Heavenly Father knew what he was doing by just giving me 3 girls huh the drama I am like the Kardashians only the poor version 🤣🤣 I know the look on my boy's faces when I have caught them in the act lols they are easy, the girls you need a lie detector 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry carry on with the lesson.
