It is so amazing that He is sending this same message to so many of us. Three truths clicked with me last week and I got the message: 1. Our prophet is imploring us to be in the temple. WHY? Because he knows Christ is there. 2. The Prophet is warning us that if we do not prepare spiritually, we will not survive what is coming. WHAT is the biggest fortification for us? Seeing and receiving a witness of Christ. Nothing will strengthen us more. . 3. Can you and I-imperfect and flawed- ask and receive that blessing and privilege? Yes, if we will get out of our own way and eliminate self-doubt. We do NOT need to be perfect. The brother of Jared wasn’t. He waited four years before he petitioned the Lord. FAITH is what will allow us this privilege. This I received directly from the Spirit and I know it is truth.
Going on 3 years now I've been feeling like President Nelson is just like Moses, inviting us up the mount to meet the Lord. This is the message I receive every time I hear him talk about the House of the Lord. This personal realization, coupled with a deeper study of the temple's history and symbolism and the covenants we make there, have made my temple experience so much more than it ever has been in the past. I know He is there. I pray every day to have faith as the brother of Jared.
My ward has a Come Follow Me study group. We meet each Tuesday night and discuss the lesson and associated scriptures. There is no teacher, we just all read aloud together, and bring our insights and the things the Holy Ghost has taught us. We listen to each other. We learn from each other. We let the Spirit guide us in what we discuss. The group is voluntary, but is growing each week as its reputation grows. Studying together is amazing! A fascinating outcome is that as we learn of Christ, talk of Christ and rejoice in Christ together, our love for each other has grown and we have truly bonded. The effect has spilled over into the ward in general. Our ward is young, only formed a year and a half ago, but we truly feel like a family, and our CFM group feels like a little slice of Zion! I think there are no happier people than we! I believe that if someone doesn't feel like they're getting much out of CFM, they need to change the way they study it. The Holy Ghost is an amazing teacher, and will lead us to new insights as we live worthy to hear his voice, study with prayer and purpose, and share what we learn with each other. It's truly been a feast for us!
I believe there are different ways to see Christ. Some see him with their eyes, and others see Him in dreams, some others may feel Him or just know He’s there, and other’s may hear Him. I’m sure there are even other ways Christ makes Himself known.
The way you have talked about this has made it feel so accessible. Usually when people talk about this I feel like like they have a book or a program they are somehow going to to sneak in and that I’ll turn into a crazy “daybell” if I let my heart hope for such miraculous experiences I love the way you have shared about this I’m so grateful for the work you do.
I totally know what you are saying! And honestly it’s such a shame!!! I believe that is the tactics of satan to turn something so sacred into something that we should fear, even hoping for!
Wow! Kaitlyn, you are amazing! Thank you for this beautiful lesson! It gives me hope that I can reach that goal and that He will know me. Thank you, thank you. You motivate me! Bless you for your powerful testimony!
Have you watched any of Matt Jeppson’s spiritual preparation videos on youtube? I gave learned so much about this topic from him. It is so interesting to me that so many people have been feeling the same pull to prepare to know and see the savior. If you are really paying attention to President Nelson‘s words , this seems to be the conclusion that he’s hoping we will come to through our study.
It’s true! It’s really real! Keep teaching this truth every single chance you get!!! I can’t tell you how much comfort it brings to hear videos like this pop up more and more recently. This could be the whole reason you started this channel. The prophet is carrying us up the proverbial mountain (temple) so that the Lord can light us up Himself, like the Brother of Jared’s stones, so that we can be PREPARED to shine in the coming darkness and be “able and ready” to receive Him when He comes to the world… because we will already KNOW each other. He literally invites us into His presence in each temple. It’s really real. Thank you, thank you for saying it. How much clearer can you get than Pres. Nelson promising that “every sincere seeker of Jesus Christ will find Him in the temple!?”
“If you live up to your privileges, the angels cannot be restrained from being your associates. Females, if they are pure and innocent, can come in the presence of God; for what is more pleasing to God than innocence; you must be innocent, or you cannot come up before God: if we would come before God, we must keep ourselves pure, as He is pure.” Joseph Smith. ⬅️ Footnot from “Live up to your privileges” by Emily Belle Freeman
Thank you, Kaitlyn. I love all your topics. This one was for me today. Helped me see clearly through my own personal witness of Jesus Christ. I love your passion and ability to share the gospel of Jesus Christ through social media. You are reaching so many. Thank you for sharing your gift.❤
I can't help but think of the word "blindness" in Alma 13:4. Recently Elder Holland told us to take our blinders off. Do we need to our blinders off to have great privileges offered to us? I think so. Be mindful of our blinders we have always had on and take them off. Seek knowledge thru study, prayer and temple service.
Yes! Baptism of fire, calling and election, Second Comforter… true and wonderful and “unimaginable” (Uchtdorf) doctrines of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I’ve heard some others say what you’re saying and it’s awesome, I believe He is revealing Himself to people around the world. I want to meet our Saviour but I’ve got a lot of changing and repenting to do… not giving up! Thanks for uploading :)
Follow the spirit. Practice getting better at it all the time. The more you respond to promotions, the easier it will be to hear them. Eventually, the comforter will lead you to the Second Comforter, Jesus Christ.
Turning on a light switch could require faith if it were not such a common experience. We don't say, "Wow the light came on" but rather we curse if it doesn't happen. The Lord wants us to have real faith and to develop the faith necessary to be able to see His face. We don't know much about it because he wants us to work and strive for it. If it were easy, what would we be willing to give up to have that experience? It is not easy to overcome the worldly things in our lives, but if we do, we will show the Lord our faith by our works. When we have the faith necessary to sacrifice the things that are necessary, we can all have that experience. I am still working on it as well, but I know the path and I look forward to that day.
We can work to develop faith and to be pure, but we cannot do it all ourselves. Faith is also a *gift* of the Spirit, and sanctification comes by the Spirit. The privilege being discussed is something that is *bestowed* upon (given to) us. I think if we try to force spiritual experiences on our own timetable, we could set ourselves up to be deceived. Just my thoughts. In addition to our own efforts and desires, we need to wait upon the Lord.
There have been many times when a prophet or apostles have spoken of how we aren’t living up to our privileges- how many ppl understand or connect it to this?
Prophets and disciples long ago saw Christ. People in every day and age have seen Christ. If you or I said we have seen Christ we would be greatly persecuted. Like Joseph Smith was. People in the old and New Testament and the book of Mormon cannot be persecuted now. a lot of the things they saw hasn’t been revealed until now
What dies it mean to have your garments to be made clean. This ihaa to be symbolic and not literal. Please tell me Kaitlan or anyone else in this world. With fond regards brother Powers
Great video! So true! I also have come to this incredible realization somewhat recently and have been diving deep into this topic the last few months. It’s incredible the promises and blessings that have been given to us. We are all invited! Receiving the presence of the Jesus Christ, entering into the REST of the Lord, calling and election, receiving the Second Comforter, fulfillment of the endowment experience, In His name, obtaining knowledge, coming unto Christ, enduring to The End…I think these are all related. Highly recommended watching the video by The Stick of Joseph channel titled, “Can you see the face of God?” if you haven’t seen it yet! Great video regarding this topic. ua-cam.com/video/5HXbn4MotUY/v-deo.htmlsi=sYKj-I75PGkDcjc8
I just wanted to point out at 15 minutes into your video the part in parenthesis with "power and great glory" is quoted when God says in the Book of Mormon to those reading the Book of Mormon to believe in Christ and that they are the words of Christ and teach all men to do good. Then he says to "judge ye, for Christ will show unto you with "power and great glory" that they ARE HIS WORDS at the last day.... what is the "great thing" that will prove to the world thats about to happen that the BOOK OF MORMON specifically IS THE WORD OF GOD?!! 2 Nephi 33 This talk also popped up with the same phrase in the title by Elder Bednar when I searched that phrase. ua-cam.com/video/qVJgqlEn8Bo/v-deo.htmlsi=CFg3ocp0ivzLM6Jy My question was answered in his talk!!
I came to the same conclusion in studying President Nelson's talk, only I was comparing his talk to the parable of the ten virgins. When he said now is the time for us to prepare for the Second Coming, I felt that he was the one in the parable going around saying the bridegroom is coming. Go ye out to meet him. This was the clarion call. And of course, where do they meet the bridegroom? At his house. If the Lord is the bridegroom, and the temple is the house of the Lord, then President Nelson was basically saying, rise up or wake up 😉, trim your lamps, and go meet the bridegroom in the temple. I also looked up what it meant to trim a lamp. When they trimmed their lamps, they were trimming them in such a way that it would make the light burn brighter. So we already have our lamps, and they are lit. We already have our oil, so now is the time to make those lamps burn even brighter and then go meet the Savior in the temple. He's waiting for us in the temple. That's the special privilege. We can meet him face to face before he comes in the clouds of glory to the whole world. We can have the privilege of seeing him first in the temple. I also think that's why they have been stressing temple attendance as well. Not only to do salvation for the dead, but to have that privilege of being the first ones to meet the Savior. It hasn't happened to me yet, either. But this is my hope and I'm going to be looking for it. ❤
You don’t have to be in the temple to receive the second comforter (Jesus himself) though it certainly could happen there. The temple is a lesson in parting the veil… another thing President Nelson has told us we can learn to do. Read topical guide for Jesus Christ, Second Comforter. Good stuff there! Also, listen to Truman Madden lectures on Joseph Smith, especially first couple.
@@shandimuir124 I have a friend who, for medical reasons, can't go to the temple right now, but we can make our homes temples. I know that no one is going to be left out who is worthy of this privilege and blessing ☺️ 🙏🏻 ❤️
