Power without boundaries is corruption and chaos. And there is no greater power than the power of procreation. Well said! What a great talk, right after a great conference! I'd say Brother Sweat nailed it!
Favorite quote from this: "We live in a time that almost worships individuality. The common refrain today, especially in social media, is "follow your own path; " be independent; "don't let anyone tell you what to do," highlighted by the modern philosophical phrase "Hey! You do you." But Christ's covenant call to us is..."BE LIKE ME." -Anthony Sweat
I feel so grateful for the technology that allows me to watch this wonderful devotional at my home in Mexico. This talk has lifted my mind, heart and soul with light and understanding of the importance of the covenants i have made with the Lord.
I am watching from french polynesia (Tahiti), I marvel at this great talk. I realize I've got so much more to do. I've got to share it with my family. Mahalo Brother Sweat.
Aloha and Mahalo 🌺🤍 from The Island of Oahu, Hawaii …this is amazing as I am about to go to The Temple for my living Endowment in a few days! I am so grateful to The Missionary Sisters who sent this to me today ( who I had just met at the welcome center recently ) 🙏
Wow. Brother Sweat was my favorite religion professor at BYU, and this was a pleasantly powerful devotional. This would be great for anyone preparing to go to the temple, or for people like me, who need a reminder of how to “receive an endowment” every day.
It was not an accident that this popped up while I was browsing through my treasure trove of BYU Speeches. Thank you for being an example of the "endowed with power from on high".
Excellent Devotional. I love to listen to Brother Sweat. He speaks with the spiritual power that he challenges us to find. What a great example of one on the covenant path. Thanks ❤
THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL TALK. I am also an artist. I had no idea I had this talent until my late 40s. At age 77 I am still working to perfect this wonderful talent. How blessed. I CONTINUE to work on this and all other challenges in life.
It was a treat to listen to Bro Sweat in the Marriot center and then attend the Provo temple afterward and think about his message. Thank you for the precious insights today.
Dear Sister Mills, …then you will enjoy the Devotional with the prophet and his wife - both of their talks are akin with this great talk. May 15 - YSA address!
Always get excited to see a new Brother Sweat talk! Never fails to knock it out of the park with equal parts love and scripture. I'm going to start a club called "The Sweat Lodge", members are going to be called "Sweaters" or something.
I'm grateful for my cell phone & the source of light it brings to my life. I'd truly be lost without it. The lord surely has blessed us in these latter days. Without it I wouldn't have heard this much needed message. With just the flick of a fingertip! There is so much Joy in my soul knowing miracles are happening all around us.
Thank you, Brother Sweat, for your wise words of wisdom. I am so grateful for the power available to me from the endowment, and I look forward to continue to increase that power over the course of eternity!
Kiaorana koutou thanx so much my brother Sweat, what a great sermon on the power and love God desires for each one of his children. Joseph Smith truly is the prophet of the restoration, nga mihi nui❤ from Aotearoa✨️
This has enlightened me. I have gone through an "endowment ceremony", but have not known what it truly meant to have received "my endowments." After listening to this devotional, I can now recognize what "powers" have been bestowed unto me. I fearlessly share The Gospel when prompted, and the words needed to be heard by the recipient are there, with no lapse of thought on my part. This is only one "power" that has been bestowed upon me by Our Heavenly Father, but certainly a very important one. Thank you Brother Sweat for sharing this message. You truly exalt your power bestowed unto you!💖
Great Talk Tony my old Basketball Teammate and Friend. I went to Elementary School, Jr. High, & High School with Cindy and Jr. High & High School with Tony. Had some Fun Basketball memories. 😊 Amazing Talk Tony. Hope you and Cindy and ALL your families are doing great! Glad I found this talk just browsing UA-cam. Tony you remind me of a young ELDER HOLLAND. Great Talk!
Don't ever give up. Not even when you're hanging on the hope of the truth of a single doctrine. Keep holding on. If you have a hope to believe, let that hope work in you.
Discovered this wonderful talk while preparing to teach temple prep classes.. A wonderful talk with great insights into purpose and direction for our lives.
Thank you for identifying so many spiritual needs, teaching so many beautiful gospel truths and then cementing them together with meaningful analogies, examples and stories!! So inspiring! 💕
I feel the truth, love and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ in this message. Thank you for preparing and sharing this! I’m grateful for further light and understanding from the Lord, and the testimony of Bro. Sweat that affirms what the spirit teaches. May we each seek to become more humble, to desire to act with obedience that the Lord requires, to connect and commune with the Lord to receive His spiritual gifts to sustain, bless, protect and increase our capacity to be fruitful in His kingdom, and with our loved ones.
The Lord is truly answering my prayer for all of us to better understand our Temple covenants and make our foundations firm on the rock of Jesus Christ. You, Anthony, are playing a big part in answering that prayer, and I thank you and Him for that! ❤️🙌🏻🙏🏻👍🏻🥰
This is inspired and inspiring. A game changer as a call to be empowered by the Lord. WOW! I have watched more than once and will continue to over and over. Bro. Sweat - AMEN!
Thank you for a wonderful and inspiring devotional...especially reminding everyone how we can meet the spiritual challenges of our day., and the significance of the "Endowment." Thank you for teaching about this topic. Truly a delight. Wendy
That was Amazing!!! Brother Sweat’s work in helping us better understand our spiritual capacity is of monumental importance! Thank you Tony!! Your books on the subject are equally amazing 🤗
What a great sermon Dr Sweat! Your insights are wonderful and I wish I had had your insights as a bishop counseling first time temple goers many years ago. I did ask them to pay attention to the 5 promises we make in the endowment and put them in their hearts. I always wondered if I had gone too far there my Bishop’s office, but your thoughts make feel better about what I was trying to do to help prepare them. Thank you. And thank you for answering my emails. I appreciate your efforts to teach all God’s children!
Thank you for your amazing and uplifting of your talk Brother Sweat! I am so grateful for your powerful message that make me feel so bless wearing the powerful Endowment of God. Thanks God, for sending us truly angels to help us to continue in this path with faith.
My first Temple experience was wonderful! But I didn't understand what I was receiving and learning. Even after multiple times do in my family history I Loved how I felt when getting my family members B,C,I,E,S and so on I never understood my own Endowment. I went through 2 Temple prep classes but then the instructor found out he had a seriously terminal disease; so therefore classes were discontinued. And I was told to study on my own. This was near the end of the pandemic and being a convert to the church I new so little about what the temple met other than family ordinance work for my kindred dead. Now because of your Endowment information on tis subject I finally understand!! Thank You so much! You and your message have been an amazing answer to my prayers!! I am so grateful for your clarity on this subject. I Look Forward for more of your Talks!!!
My mind is Blown. Drop the Mic. Here in NH. I'm blessed and touched by the spirit that was here at this devotional. With a very heartfelt talk and teachings, my day has been blessed by your strong words of encouragement and guidance well done.
Se eu consigo falar sobre a alegria de sentir poder ao estar no Templo, é como uma reunião na Terra, de todos os poderes de Deus dado aos Seus filhos. Como é palpável! As palavras os significados , a maneira do Senhor abençoar cada filho de Deus individualmente e os reuni. Pode imaginar que, com esse poder Jesus Cristo ordena e as coisas existiram e o Senhor ordenará e deixarão de existir, não lutaremos mais
"There is SO much that an all-powerful God wants to share with His covenant children!"
This devotional is definitely one of the greats in BYU history.
Anthony Sweat is such a great orator. He has a deep understanding of the gospel and a pleasing way of explaining it.
Power without boundaries is corruption and chaos. And there is no greater power than the power of procreation. Well said! What a great talk, right after a great conference! I'd say Brother Sweat nailed it!
"Major in consecration"! Another great principle!
That was an amazing quote
This will go down as one of those iconic talks within our hallowed walls of knowledge. Bro. Sweat did absolutely nail it. So powerful.

Very will stated. A profound message!
I listened to this devotional from Ghana, Africa. One of the most powerful devotionals that I have ever heard. Don't give up!!
Wow. Brother Sweat was my favorite religion professor at BYU, and this was a pleasantly powerful devotional. This would be great for anyone preparing to go to the temple, or for people like me, who need a reminder of how to “receive an endowment” every day.
Thank you, Brother Sweat. You are an instrument in God's hands to help us deeply understand the temple ordinances.
Thanks for your comment, Alexia!

what an amazing wonderful talk, should be given at General Conference!!
Everyone like this so it will be recommended to more people. This is an important message.
Always get excited to see a new Brother Sweat talk! Never fails to knock it out of the park with equal parts love and scripture. I'm going to start a club called "The Sweat Lodge", members are going to be called "Sweaters" or something.
Yes please! My heart is already knitted in unity as a ‘Sweater!’
😂😂
Do it, I'll become a "Sweater" in the Sweat Lodge. Such an amazing gift.
I'm grateful for my cell phone & the source of light it brings to my life. I'd truly be lost without it. The lord surely has blessed us in these latter days. Without it I wouldn't have heard this much needed message. With just the flick of a fingertip! There is so much Joy in my soul knowing miracles are happening all around us.
Same thing happened to me today! Consecration is so important and exciting.
Thank you, Brother Sweat, for your wise words of wisdom. I am so grateful for the power available to me from the endowment, and I look forward to continue to increase that power over the course of eternity!

Thank you for identifying so many spiritual needs, teaching so many beautiful gospel truths and then cementing them together with meaningful analogies, examples and stories!! So inspiring! 💕
This is a profound truth that was hidden for a long time to those who have not been in the temple. He called it deservice if not shared.
I feel the truth, love and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ in this message. Thank you for preparing and sharing this! I’m grateful for further light and understanding from the Lord, and the testimony of Bro. Sweat that affirms what the spirit teaches.
