As someone with anxiety, self deception is the bread and butter of my brain. I have learned that God is the only one that can show me the truth when my own memories or perceptions fail me.
A master class is the first thing I listen to after I listen to the scriptures that were studying for that week on audiobook since I have trouble reading due to an eye problem. But I always like to listen to your video first in the morning after the scriptures, thank you you always, touch on lessons that I usually didn’t gather from reading the scriptures.
I love how you pointed out Mormon’s identifier, and connected it with the prophet’s voice. I’ll put these three enduring designations as my first priority! 1. child of God 2. child of the covenant 3. disciple of Jesus Christ
Obrigada!!! Suas aulas me elevam tanto!!! Sinto um novo renascimento para a fé e confiança no evangelho sempre que escuto suas aulas. Obrigada irmão Hilton!!🙏 Nunca pare ok?, 🌹
I have all of the three books your referenced, and have read them many times. They have changed my life and truly helped my relationships be better. Thank you again for another great lesson.
@johnhiltoniii Not yet, but I have friends who are volunteer teachers. I am part of the larger Pathway service missionaries helping others to gain education through PathwayBYU in the Africa West Area
Thank you for always bringing the lessons down to my understanding. I have learned so much from your teachings, of how to study and of how to teach. It's scary, but sometimes I can truly relate to what is happening in my world and hope I can endure all that is coming.
Your story about your experience in Mexico shows what a sweet, humble man you are. You made the right choices! Thanks for sharing. I enjoy the powerful spirit this class brings to my gospel study.
I'm so glad that you receive an answer to your prayers Alexia! And very glad that this class could be an instrument in God's hands to help you receive this answer.
Hi, again, from Cheyenne, Wyoming. (By the way, Judy Brown said you were a wonderful missionary here!) Thank you for telling your story about Mexico, budgeting, and false narratives. It really made me think about narratives that I have invented for myself, and has made me want to be more careful. I appreciate the fact that you shared a very personal, and probably a bit painful, memory.
WOW!!! This lesson was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! ALL of your lessons are SO well done, but this one hit with particular power. It was eye-opening to think about the inequality for opportunity and education, and how that led to the Church falling apart!!! I so appreciate you posting quotes from modern day prophets. This just gave me so much to think about. THANK YOU Bro Hilton for all you do!!!!
Exceptional. I have felt the spirit of the Lord encouraging me through listening to this class. Thank you again for your sacrifices to put this lesson together for us.
As I end this week’s podcast I can still feel the power and spirit of the of these scriptures, so strongly you covered this week. I learned so much! The self-deception was 😮eye opening for me. I needed to hear, learn and take away so much! Your illustrations through examples really helped to understand it much better! Thank you Bro. Hilton for bringing the spirit to testify us of these principles and pure truths to us. ❤
Love ❤, love ❤, love ❤ to also hear from Members of the Master Class (not taking anything away from you, John at all) but it is always great to see how it correlates with the week’s readings 👏🏾
I want you to know how much I needed this tonight! Thanks for being honest and real. I lost my temper with my son who has a tbi. He's really hard to deal with. I started listening and felt the spirit come and show me how I was triggered and need to clean up my side of the street. You share ✨light and truth✨I love your channel! ✨God Bless you John❤️🙏🏼✨
This was a super helpful lesson. I appreciate you bringing to my attention the self narrative we sometimes use. You can't change if you don't realize what you need to change. I've got some changing to do. :)
I think this is about as beautiful as scripture can be, "Lift up your head and be of good cheer [no kidding!]; for behold, the time is at hand,,and on this night, the sign will be given." Then Christ says that tomorrow 'I'll be born.' My heart is touched BIG TIME, hearing that beginning tomorrow he'll be a brand-new baby. Is the veil drawn over his eyes, too? I've wondered. Anyway, I'm really enjoying this podcast! It's classy👏🏻😊👏🏻
Self deception; unfortunately I seem to do this too often! I need to listen to this video often to correct my attitude, thank you for the perfect stories you used for examples.
Wow this one really hit home for me!! Thank you again! I will be going over the principles that you have taught in this lesson start more fully applying them in my life!😊
Such an excellent class, Professor Hilton! Thank you so much for offering this Master Class. It is such a blessing to me personally. I have several health issues that preclude me from physically attending classes, study groups, etc., and more often than not, I can’t even make it to church. Being able to study and learn in the comfort of my home as I’m able is one of the great blessings that has come from the Come, Follow Me program (and the pandemic). You are one of my most favorite teachers! Thank you SO MUCH for your sacrifice in offering this course. I’m astounded just considering the time it must take you to put it all together. You are seen and very appreciated!
This is the first time I listened to this masterclass. I have felt the Spirit strongly and felt promptings! Thank you! Very important insights gained, especially about self-deception and trust in God. Looking forward to the next one! Bea from Birmingham UK
Brother Hilton, Incredible as usual. We are truly living parallel to 3 Nephi now. Thank you for your inspiration. I don't judge you for wanting to stick to the budget, but appreciate your enlightenment to listen to your wife! 🙂
Who should be judging anyone?? I have enough things to be working on. I really loved you sharing about your budget situation. It was very helpful for me to recognize how I need to work on personal things in my life and to do it with prayer
I love your insight from 3 Nephi 6:12 & 14 that great inequality led to the church being broken up, and in Doctrine and Covenants 49, 70 & 78 that such inequality was not meant to be and would cause the abundance of the manifestations of the Spirit to be withheld.
Brother Hilton Thank you for each class. I think each day is special and gives a person the chance to continue growing closer to God Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. A day to start over . And in my personal life I am facing personal Diversion in different faiths,and going different way almost to belive in Wiccan, yet they believe in God? Go figure 🤔 I'm confused about them... But praying for understanding gives me peace in this book 📖 and others praying about things and yes I ve gotten some answers... 11:08
I'm staying focused on Jesus Christ and doing what I can to help others I pray for everyone because Heavenly Father knows world over who is also praying and needs help,people to share their testimony with them. Thank you always 💓 5:17
I just had a thought...the emphasis with which Pres. Nelson teaches us about Gathering Israel. All of a sudden, through the story of Lachoneus, I see a correlation in our day of protection through perilous times in which we live by simply being a proactive helper with Gathering the House of Israel on both sides of the veil, now!
Hi Tina thanks for checking in on that. I'd love for you to share the quote. Prayer posture definitely isn't _the_ most important thing, but for many people it is _an_ important part of truly worshipping God. Obviously not everyone has the ability to kneel or bow down, and sometimes (like when you're driving) you just pray without worrying about the posture.
It's good to comment on this channel however we need to take this message of our belief two other channels that may not share our concern for all mankind. Be brave and be bold and speak up on other channels as well as you may on this channel or other church-related channels period all glory to God let his truth Reign free. In Jesus humble name I pray for all of us. Amen
I dont remember feeling like the 2nd coming was this close the last time we studied the Book of Mormon. I never made so many connections to our day those few years back. Do you feel that way too?.
Can I make a correction? Watch what a righteous Captain Did, as if all men were like unto C Moroni:- At 29@20 you said "remember Chief Captain Moroni jumped to conclusions and told himself a false story about Pahoran". I question than Captain Moroni jumped to conclusions. Pahoran failed to return letters from C Moroni, even when he responded by sending s little support of men and food (proof he received the communication). When asked, these men did not understand Pahoran's lack of response. Pahoran himself recognised that C Moroni was commanded to rebuke him as ultimately Pahoran was responsible for supporting his army. He was also responsible for communicating with his captain. Look at Pahorans reply. He did not know what to do, though he had already been shown what to do in the actions towards the Kingmen, in his fathers time and also when he became governor. He also knew and reported that the kingmen were in regular communications with the Lamanites. Now if the kignmen were able to be in regular communication with the lamanites, which were outside the nephite boundaries, what prevented Pahoran in communicating with his commander? He should have known what to do, He had previous and personal experience of seeing what C Moroni receive his permission to do. He did not know, because of some possible reasons of dysfunction. See John Bytheways story about his dog and the gash in its side. Pahorans response of a righteous man who lapsed in his duty, was humble. he recognised his need to work with his captain and resolving this issue. His function was improved by rebuke because he recognised his failure and resolved to do better.
I can't access the links for this program. The page says it has been cancelled. Is this because of the transitions in Scripture Central? I hope they come back soon
Are you using Avast? Fr some reason it i s blocking my site event though we scan the site each day and it's clean. If you're suing Avast, just whitelist the site.
As a mental health therapist i would never suggest the book "bonds that make us free." It is poorly written and focus on guilt and shame. There are other books that are well written. That one is old and has a negative slant. Have you read that book?
I'm not sure why that's happening. I've heard that for some reason Avast is blocking my website, but I've checked the site on Google scanners and it's clean. Not sure what is happening with Avast.
Look at maslows hierarchy of needs. There has to be a foundation before education. What happened to my last comment? Why was it taken off? Is that pride?

Thank you Dr. Hilton, great messages, and thanks for sharing personal, tender story of your young marriage. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the lesson on self-deception. This is the most powerful lesson I have heard in a long time.
Self-deception is a powerful topic and one I have to remind myself of continually!
I am so grateful for your service to all of us and the spirit that comes with your gift.
Thank you.❤
Another wonderful Wednesday Master Class with you all.
Brother Hilton no judgement here. I needed this class today. Thank you!
"Lift up your head & be of good cheer..." I want to remember this daily. May God be with us as we fight for religious freedom 🙏
Thanks bro Hilton!
Amen!
As always, this was a fantastic lesson - thank you so much for your time and effort!
This is the best way to start the week of studying. We look forward to these classes.
Thanks for being a part of the class Richard!
John’s informative and a ray of light in our day right now! Thanks

Santaquin Utah I love brother Hiltons caring and straight forward insights
I love watching and listening to John Hilton’s Master Class!! He is so insightful and offers so many real world solutions and examples!
Thank you for your kind words!
I love how you pointed out Mormon’s identifier, and connected it with the prophet’s voice. I’ll put these three enduring designations as my first priority!
1. child of God
2. child of the covenant
3. disciple of Jesus Christ
Yes! Those are our key identifiers!!!
Just want to say thank you for this deep dive and for highlighting the HOPE that we can find in these last days. Thank you!
HE is the HOPE! :)
Obrigada!!! Suas aulas me elevam tanto!!! Sinto um novo renascimento para a fé e confiança no evangelho sempre que escuto suas aulas. Obrigada irmão Hilton!!🙏 Nunca pare ok?, 🌹
I appreciate your encouraging words!
I have all of the three books your referenced, and have read them many times. They have changed my life and truly helped my relationships be better. Thank you again for another great lesson.
They've changed me too, and I think I probably need to reread them!
I am listening from Ghana, West Africa, and I am grateful for the Succeed in School program. Thank you, Brother Hilton, for highlighting this.
YES! The Succeed in School program is amazing! Are you or any family members participating in it?
@johnhiltoniii Not yet, but I have friends who are volunteer teachers. I am part of the larger Pathway service missionaries helping others to gain education through PathwayBYU in the Africa West Area

I am always so moved and impressed by your lessons! I love the examples and personal thoughts. Thank you so much for spending this time with us! ❤🇨🇦
Thanks for being a part of this class!
Such a beautiful lesson. Thank you for bringing the spirit into my home.
I appreciate your kind words Kristine!
Your story about your experience in Mexico shows what a sweet, humble man you are. You made the right choices! Thanks for sharing. I enjoy the powerful spirit this class brings to my gospel study.
Thanks for being a part of the master class! :)
Another powerful lesson! Thanks bro Hilton!
Thanks Dino!
Awesome!! Thank you❤❤
Thank you, Brother Hilton! This lesson was an answer to my prayers. May Heavenly Father bless you always, as you are a blessing in my life.
I'm so glad that you receive an answer to your prayers Alexia! And very glad that this class could be an instrument in God's hands to help you receive this answer.
Thank you for sharing your personal story. It was very helpful and heartfelt. I learned something
Thank you, brother Hilton! Great lesson. Much appreciated. Thank you!
You're so welcome!!!

Thanks for your kind words. I love the spiritual power that accompanies these chapters!
Excelente lección. Gracias hermano Hilton .
Gracias por sus palabras! :)
If there's contention, check for self deception 😊
True!!!
Thank you
Self deception; unfortunately I seem to do this too often! I need to listen to this video often to correct my attitude, thank you for the perfect stories you used for examples.
It is hard to avoid self deception!

I love brother Warner's work! Thanks for this insightful discussion.
Yes, his work is lifechanging!
Thank you John!
How wonderful, thanks for this class
You're so welcome!!!
new comments added in my journal edition of the Book of Mormon. Thank you for the added insights.
I love that you're keeping a record of your studies!
Excellent as always! 🎉
All of your lessons are inspiring
Thanks Terry!

Thank you for each class.
I think each day is special and gives a person the chance to continue growing closer to God Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

President Nelson said prayer posture isn't as important as other things. Might want to check that
Hi Tina thanks for checking in on that. I'd love for you to share the quote.

Obviously not everyone has the ability to kneel or bow down, and sometimes (like when you're driving) you just pray without worrying about the posture.
Great insight on freedom of religion with reference to Alma 30.
I too have played that “budget” argument. Pride of “being right”is a big factor for me
Yes, I was so grateful that Dr. Jan Martin pointed out that connection to me!

This is a very interesting point--as you know people have debated both sides of this issue and I really appreciate you raising this perspective!
Ouch, I'm the one in the wrong. Nuh, won't judge. I bet making up was a nicer feeling.
Not judging is the better place to be!
