“The most important direction we receive comes from God” I love that I can always trust the direction I receive from the Lord in the temple ❤ Jesus always leads me exactly where I need to be

[@AlejandroMadrid-f3z]

Man! I never thought of educating desires. Elder Andersen has opened the scriptures, my mind, my heart and yes, my desires.

[@evancliff]

Education doesn't just mean attending an expensive University for 4+ years. I am a trade school graduate. Trade schools are a fraction of the cost and result in higher paying careers. Don't be discouraged. In the United States we are indoctrinated to believe there is only one form of education. Trade schools seem to be extremely beneficial and teach actual skills. Notice Elder Anderson is saying "education." It's up to you the path you take. Don't let society tell you there is only one way to get educated. ❤

[@אןהנסן]

Learning a trade is essential! Society can survive without people who have a PhD; it would be much more difficult to survive without mechanics, plumbers, farmers, electricians, seamstresses, medics . . .

Excellent point! AND Elder Anderson reminded us how astronomical the cost of a 4 year degree is. Trade schools are seeing a huge increase in enrollments.

[@MamaJLW]

Very well said.

[@dalegibson3443]

This is a VERY powerful message, that it is through educating our thoughts we learn to control our desires. Thank you for another inspiring message Elder Anderson.

[@FromAgonyToLight]

Thank you! I didn’t catch that for some reason 😅

[@HelamansArmy]

Another wonderful, spirit filled, thought provoking, and inspiring lesson from Elder Neil L. Anderson. I'm gratefully full of the Spirit of God feeling peace, love, and charity. Thank you.

[@Steelblaidd]

Sometimes we need to reeducate our desires, or repent.

27:23 Covenants that we make in the Holy Endowment in the temple. Those 5 Covenants are stated in the general handbook and are available for you to read: 1)Law of obedience, 2)Law of sacrifice, 3)Law of the gospel of Jesus Christ, 4)Law of chastity, 5)Law of consecration....The Lord knows your strengths and weaknesses.... He knows your private struggles and He knows your faith....Nothing about you is a mystery or surprise to Him.

[@verafrazier3209]

I couldn't love this more. Thank you Elder Anderson.

[@makamurphy]

I love this talk so much

[@KorGood-l9o]

Nice talk. I liked the part about not being able to surprise God and the challenge of the ordinariness of life.

[@HighAltitudeInvesting]

James Allen is one of my favorite authors! Thank you Neil L Andersen!

[@carlwoolston4909]

Love James Allen! If you like him, you might like William George Jordan. One of his books is called a Majesty of Calmness. One of my all time favorites.

[@JamesFox-b2b]

[@MilesTegg-jq5nn]

What awesome talk.

[@ludovicchristopheoccolier6993]

Wonderful talk

[@ildenete3235]

Sabe elder Andersen , mais cedo eu havia pensado nesta escritura " nesta vida sua graça é suficiente" e nas batalhas e guerras , os desafios , como estar com Cristo sempre enxergamos a solução por maior que seja o inimigo na batalha, educando os desejos. Posso até estudar os desafios que enfrento como forma de estudo, me senti inspirado a orar confirmando com o Pai Celestial hoje os para sempre eternos. Muito obrigado. ❤

[@marileeblonquist2146]

Excellent talk! If you are looking for an affordable, traditional education that helps you learn how to think and articulate your beliefs in a powerful and respectful manner, consider MOUNT LIBERTY COLLEGE in Utah. My oldest daughter is attending and loves all her classes! Her growth and maturity is thrilling to witness! When the rest of my children are raised, I hope to take some classes at Mount Liberty. You can take classes in person or online.

[@JanetMcKinney]

WOW! WOW! WOW!!!!!!!!!
