When the prophet speaks, one listens, for it is the voice of the Lord.

[@SongMom8]

This is the strongest warning of the coming Last Days trials that I have ever heard. It appears to be imminent. Pray for strength, everyone.

[@Theluckypessimist]

What exactly did he say that was a warning? All I heard was another talk about how temples are important. Does he call out the corrupt politicians? Or big pharma?

[@shroomy_frog462]

We are the chosen ones 😊

[@dericksuapaia]

@@Theluckypessimist although I agree with you, tbh… what else is there to say? Unless given revelation from the Lord? “Don’t give in to this era” I’m paraphrasing, but it’s pretty critical what simple advice/warnings given from the prophet are heavily looked over. Another example is keeping covenants. The times we live in tend to head to our desires. I am just that though. I am not perfect. And I’ve forgotten so much that I’ve fell off the path made for me. Also, calling out politicians and pharmaceuticals isnt his job lol

[@rdancranston]

Yes. They all call them out whenever they speak of the wicked. Those who indulge in wickedness and do not repent will suffer the consequences. Including politicians and big pharma and anyone else

[@connieeicher]

@@Theluckypessimist If we are prepared, we shall not fear. He reminded us to strengthen our spiritual foundation of Jesus Christ like the temple is getting a strengthened foundation.

[@wolffang471]

Just like in the foundation. We have gaps and damage in our lives that we need to repair as soon as possible.

[@johnoneill7947]

We need Repair, Joy and Peace.

Amen!

[@lilacbunches]

Such a powerful talk.

[@mljudd123]

I have had a personal witness from the Holy Ghost that this man is a prophet of God. God lives and loves us so much that he sent his Son in sacrifice for us. We are loved so much that he guides us through his prophet to help us be unified and return to him. I know this is true.

[@Sway8998]

5:15-5:22 Words used, tone of voice, facial expressions, body language.. Our beloved Prophet has truly seen our future.

[@mrenerlam]

Indeed! And how he stated in his closing remarks: "the pandemic has demonstrated how quickly life can change". This reminded me of what Paul wrote to the Thessalonians about these latter days in 1. Thes. 5:2-6

@@drizzt8965 I agree, it's scary....5 kids and another on the way. But he did say in his talk that we have no need to fear, if we are prepared and we keep our covenants in order to have Christ's power! Be of good courage! Learn to draw upon his power! So we don't succumb to the unique anxieties of our day.

[@Marieanne-tj1kk]

President R. M Nelson is a truly Prophet of God!! What a nice counsel and messages we had always heard of him! We truly thanks God always for His profound love for us and His Son Jesus Christ!❤❤😊

[@Warthogturbo]

President Russel M. Nelson said if we rely too much on social media for information, we can’t listen to the Spirit. So Heavenly Father tested us yesterday. He's indeed called of God to lead us in this last days

[@ronpalmer2u]

Thank you President Nelson. My wife and I with our children were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple in 1972. We drove from Fort Lauderdale Florida to Salt Lake City. We joined the Church with my parents and many members of our extended family. What a joy it is to find the Restored Church of Jesus Christ. I and my father were Baptist ministers and the Holy Spirit led us to find and read the Book of Mormon, its truth was manifest to us 51 years ago and still resonates in our heart. We love you and Thank You.

[@masonwilkins9874]

“Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.” I have a personal testimony that temples are as important to us today as the tabernacle was in the day of Moses. Without them, we would be left unable to perform essential work that turns “the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers”. I am grateful to know and belief in a prophet and to know of the importance of the temples and the works performed therein.

[@spudbuilt]

I remember he said before covid to prepare for a day when we couldn't attended church. Now he is saying to take extra ordinary measures to prepare for the coming calamities. I thank the good lord for this prophet and pray we can all be ready for what lies ahead.

[@ClintK.]

I pray the Lord permits him to continue to lead us for many more years. To lead us through these forth coming perils he has sensed or seen that are coming. If not then I trust in the wisdom of God! God be praised for living oracles. We thank thee oh Father for our Prophet!

Today I am so very happy for the evening I came across the Book Of Morman. I am so very happy that the Holy Sprite chose to confirm to a person no better than I was that what I was reading was true . This conference was for me the most wonderful yet. I have so much love for our beloved profit , the 1st. Presidency and the 12 apostles.

[@churchofjesuschristgeneralconf]

Thanks for sharing!

The Book of Mormon

[@tigergreg8]

How much more clear does it have to be, when a Prophet is basically telling you, The Hour Has Come. He's telling us that Christ will soon be back for the Second Coming, and that we're going to see great upheaval soon. Really makes you think about what you need to do to prepare better.

[@courtneyholland6215]

[@tracie5245]

"Current adjustments in Temple procedures and others that will follow..." Changes are coming!!!!

[@bob15479]

Yep every time society changes they have to change. Remove sexism, remove racism, etc. remove the denigration of other religions. Shorten it cuz people are busy today.

[@JensenPike-i5q]

But the unchanging truths and doctrines are not adjusted to fit the world.

[@JensenPike-i5q]

They are unchanging and irrefutable. Men and women are equal in God's eyes, same with every race and Religion, God loves his children with a perfect love that we cannot comprehend. Improved efficiency does not indicate that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints is easily moved by public opinion. Some of societies changes are positive and align with God's will such as women's suffrage, but many are not and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is often criticized for the things they will not change. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not swayed by public opinion because public opinion as President Nelson has said is not the arbiter of truth. That being said I'm sure you're a great person and I loved your dolphin video!! ❤

I am slow in some areas, other things I can understand and help others. I'm grateful for all I know and have.

this talk is an answer to so so many of my prayers

[@tossipc.salaiau4495]

Praying for our Temple to be built soon, Thank you President for the powerful reminder .

[@PunsandPixels]

The more and more I hear this talk and listening to other talks by the Prophet in the past couple years it becomes evident to me that the Lord’s coming is near. And that the trials and persecution of the saints are ahead. If we are not strongly founded on the Lord the trials ahead will shake us off our foundation and we will be consumed with fear. We also need to take the Spirit as our guide. Already so many are being deceived, calling that which is good bad, and that which is bad good. The danger is if we permit the adversary and his followers on this earth to deceive us over and over eventually they will deceive us in regards to things that ARE of eternal importance. The same mainstream media that is calling the convoy evil also tells us that poly amorous relationships are good and that “experts” say humans were not meant to be monogamous.

As I was listening to Anthony D. "Remember thy suffering." I was greatly disturbed that his disease has not been exorcized from him. With so many like minded members given authority.

We need to do his work while we worship him daily

3:50 “If you and I are to withstand the forthcoming perils and pressures it is imperative that we each have a firm spiritual foundation built upon The Rock of our Redeemer Jesus Christ” This struck me as so vital for us now. Also “ And oh how we will need His power in the days ahead” We need to be ready for what is coming. What pressures is he referring to? He is a Seer and can see with what is ahead with the Lord’s blessing.This has put me to think and pray for understanding and action in my part.
