My blessing literally changed my life. Bless these humble servants of God!
I love that a trial of faith is called a Gethsemani moment! Even Christ chose to obey when it was not His will, but the Father’s. His Faith stepped Him into the resurrection for all mankind. But it was hard for Him.
This was great! I've known Wayne for over 25 years! He's been my Bishop, institute teacher, counselor in Stake Presidency and my Patriarch! But most of all...my friend! So glad to have him and his beautiful wife in my life! ❤
Wow, I really loved this episode. What a great man! He was so enjoyable to listen to. And Ashley, I love the way you smile and appear to enjoy every guest you have, no matter who they are or where they’ve come from.
Loooove these videos! This podcast has blessed my life!! I want to share it with everyone I know. The Bible Dictionary says, “Faith is kindled by hearing the testimony of those who have faith.” My heart has opened, my soul enlarged, and my understanding enlightened. It’s just so good! Also, every time I watch, I can’t get over how beautiful Ashly is inside and out!
Thank you so much!
See what Revelation 12:11 says about our testimonies!! 🙏
Soooo good!!!
This is a very mature testimony and perspective, thank you for sharing!
Woke up early this morning (not by choice) and decided to read my scriptures. As soon as I was done I was planning on heading to my office (I work from home) but right as I closed my scriptures I had the thought to look at my Patriarchal Blessing this morning, and to look for the promises made. As soon as I was done I came down to my office, and saw this video. Pretty cool.
love that
Thank you to this good Patriarch. He plainly answered one of my deep questions and I felt the spirt when he said it. Bless you both.
I loved this so much! Thank you for sharing your experiences. You are a special person.
I love this podcast. It was very helpful getting ready for my Patriarchal Blessing November 5th. Another answer to my question. Another answer from God. He truly works his miracles.
I am really excited for this. My son got his blessing 2 days ago. I will share it with him. He is a great kid and gives me much pride. I see so much potential in him and his timidity makes me anxious. He has no desire for anything that would challenge him. He doesn't want to do Trek, dances, sports, camp helmsman, which is a mission prep boys camp, go on a mission, get married, have kids. He is so bright, but he doesn't want a career that will challenge him, just a job, something repetitive that doesn't require him to think. He doesn't think he is handsome but it's kinda fun to walk with him and see girls check him out. We go to this one place and there is this girl who is always staring at him. He is so handsome but he doesn't see it.
If he’s old enough to get a part time job, require it.
Loved this! Thank you❤️
Thank you so much.👍❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful ❤!
Hello Ashley,
I felt impressed to share that you are a perfect example of the kind of “peacemaker” that Elder Eyring described in his talk, “Finding Personal Peace” April 2023.
“Sadly, we all have felt the pain when children raised by inspired parents-sometimes one parent alone-choose, after a lifetime of faith and peace, to take the path of sorrow.
“Even when that sadness occurs, my optimism rests in another gift from the Lord. It is this: that He raises up many peacemakers among His trusted disciples.
They have felt the peace and the love of God. They have the Holy Ghost in their hearts, and the Lord can guide them to reach out to the wandering sheep.”
God bless you, Sister. I got baptized as a convert on January 23rd 2021. I am so grateful for all the testimonies you are gathering.
I appreciate this message so much, thank you
In prayer this morning, the thought came to mind to study my patriarchal blessing. Then this popped up on my feed this evening - Not a coincidence! B/c of listening to this, my experience as I read and ponder my blessing will be completely different as I apply Patriarch Decker’s counsel. Thank you!
I shared this episode my loved ones.
Bless you both!
❤
I’ve just discovered your channel. This video is the first, and a great one to begin with. Thank you for doing this noble work. I sensed , along with your guest, that you’re not alone in your efforts to share light; but are aided by angels from both sides of the veil.
I have 3 daughters in your age group raising children in the Gospel. Each frequently report to me the loving company of my family who live beyond the veil. How comforting to know “that who be with us are greater than they who are not”.
Keep following your heart and thank you for sharing your light.
Thank you so much and welcome!
I love patriarchs.
This was so good! Ashley you really are making such a great difference for many!
I appreciate this patriarchs humble peaceful demeanor. I like his advice for receiving and reviewing these blessings. And this came after some very great talks on patriarchal blessings in conference. Thanks 🙏 to both of you for this interview!
I need to learn to trust the Lord and to act, and to believe that He is the most caring, loving, and kind Individual in existence.
11:27 - The continuation of questioning and seeking truth was what lead to my exit. I sought answers from the lord and the lords mouthpieces.
No one journey is the same
Sorry for your exit. I hope you are happy regardless. A lot of us go through testing of faith. God and Jesus are real.
@@Come.Back.Podcast very true. The answer I feel most strongly about is that there is no one singular path. Those that say so most often care little about the destination and more about the adherence along the way.
@@lafrancehannele6884 Don't be sorry :) I'm very happy. And I hope you are as well.
I appreciate that you were/are questioning. You are searching for truth and it’s the journey that changes and improves us. You listening to this podcast shows me how sincere you are about learning! You are loved and respected!
Ashly and Bro Decker, thank you both for this podcast! Ashly, I watch at least a couple of your videos a day and I appreciate so much what you're doing. I've done different kinds of video and audio production in one of my former lives, and it's a lot of work. Consistency is not easy. So thank you!!! Final note: Bro Decker mentions something that to me has been key to keeping and, yrs ago, rediscovering my testimony through the ups and downs of doubt. He said we should always be asking questions. I agree. I have felt for years that those that leave the faith do so because of the questions they ask, or lack of questions. I've put it this way; ask "crappy" questions, get "crappy" answers. (I apologize for the inarticulate expression here, but the sentiment is fitting.) In short, our answers are only as good as our questions. All too often those who lose their faith do so, in large part, due to poorly framed questions and what I think is "binary thinking". Binary thinking, either/or, A/B, thinking, where our faith-crisis questions are answered with very limited possible answers, either answer A, or answer B. We don't continue to look for what could be optional answers, answers A,B, C, D, E, F... etc. If we went to an attorney or a medical doctor and were given only option A or B in a legal matter, or option A or B in a medical procedure, most often we'd question the lawyer or doctor and be looking for a second, third or fourth opinion. Yet, those who leave the faith are often impatient, asking poorly constructed questions and then answering with binary, either this or that questions and answers. They don't seek better questions and they don't seek the full spectrum of possible answers. This has helped me immensely. There was a time that I had two children serving full-time missions at the same time. I had my first real faith crisis at the time, and I was in my late 40's. I literally felt the room spin as the questions and doubts disoriented me so much that I had the physical sensation of being untethered from reality. The sensation only lasted for a few minutes but the doubts persisted for several months. I had to rebuild my faith from the ground up at that time, for the first time in my life. The questions I asked and the answers I considered were given ample leeway for as many possible answers as I could think of, vs just a severely limited choice of only answer A or B. This helped me rebuild my faith over several months and that was years ago. I apologize for the long post, but Bro Decker's excellent interview brought this all back to me. Thanks again, Ashly, for a much needed and light-filled contribution to helping promote faith among members.
Thank you so much I love hearing this. We appreciate you being here
Thankyou both for this incrediblly significant interview! I learned important principles that are so very helpful: revelation is received in light and is translated, I need to ask for more revelation about points and principles in my patriarchal blessing. Accept and embrace life's difficulties and growth opportunities. Don't get in the way of my children's spiritual journey and their painful lessons, but walk with them, study with them...
We need to force ourselves to look to the Lord instead of dwelling on our fears for our children and then He will calm our fears and fill us with peace and give us the testamony that He is indeed in charge, even of our children´s lives.
About medications and feeling the Spirit…
I shattered my T11 vertebra at the beach July 2021. It was on vacation and I really wanted to be aware enough to make my own decisions since I’d be alone a great deal of time. So I asked for lower doses of pain meds.
I was very unhappy and uncomfortable a great deal of the time. I felt distant from the Lord. On top of that, I had disturbing images come into my mind at times - things I could never have come up with… and they were colored in a way I felt was out of my control (like a bluish black and white)…
I also had difficulty sleeping because of plastic rustling sounds in my ears (I tried putting a logical reason to this, thinking there must have been a cabinet right outside my room where nurses needed to dig through plastic bags for supplies). When my husband came to visit, I wearily moaned, “I wish they would stop getting into that cabinet!” He said, “umm, what cabinet?” Then I explained how the rustling plastic was making it so hard to get good sleep. He informed me my room was at the end of the hall and likely the quietest one on the whole floor. There was no activity and he heard no sound at all. That’s when I realized Satan was doing all he could to make me miserable.
I decided to stop all pain meds and replace them with prayer instead.
The nurses thought I was so crazy, one of them even pulled a dose anyway and was about to inject it into my IV against my will. I demanded NO. She said then it would need to be wasted, I said I didn’t care, I didn’t want it.
I slept the best that night. Not without pain. In fact, I felt I was in a world of trouble when I was REALLY struggling to sleep due to pain and the inability to get comfortable. Then I prayed for God to please hold me in His hand. That’s when I fell asleep.
Other times the pain became unbearable, I prayed, “PLEASE let me feel all the prayers being said on my behalf.”
I had no miraculous healing and the pain didn’t disappear, God gave me the strength to get from each prayer to the next. I learned that we grow tired of asking Him for help way quicker than He grows tired of pouring miracles after miracle upon us.
I have not taken any pain medication, not even an ibuprofen or Tylenol, since day 5 of my injury. I replaced it with prayer. This dear Patriarch is respecting other’s agency, I’ll add my testimony to his that medication CAN absolutely interfere with God’s love, healing, comfort and revelation. Medication can weaken us to be more susceptible to the attacks of the adversary.
Quote by Joseph Smith:
“I preached to a large congregation at the stand, on the science and practice of medicine, and desiring to persuade the saints to trust in God when sick, and not in an arm of flesh, and live by faith and not by medicine, or poison; and when they were sick, and had called for the Elders to pray for them, and they were not healed, to use herbs and mild food.”
In October 2022, I transitioned off of synthetic thyroid medication (I had my thyroid removed in 2014), and have survived on desiccated thyroid and a thyroid support supplement since. The medical industry claims a million times a day there are conditions requiring medication for life. Even well-meaning doctors can never understand God is above it all and He always has a better way. It may take time to find it, but He is the way. ❤
Btw, my back is healed without surgery. I was in bed most of 3 months and in a brace for another… then remaining use of my body took months after that, but I’ve exceeded the mobility and strength I was told to expect.
❤ sorcery comes from the Greek word pharmakeia. I don’t read “sorcery” the same way in the Bible anymore.
You sound kind of like a kook, no offense.
21:32 My experience with pain medication is the exact opposite; I'm MORE open to the Spirit, not less. Also, chronic migraine pain is about the the most sure-fire Spirit-feeling inhibitor I know.
I LOVE MY PATRIARCHAL BLESSING
Because of the confirmation bias?
Thanks!
Thank you!
How do you only have 7k subscribers?
We started uploading in November so it hasn't been very long. But if you guys share our videos that will probably help out a lot! We are going to start advertising as well which we haven't really done yet
Wow nice channel love it .
Thanks and welcome
I gotta be related to this guy.
Yep. He’s my Dad’s cousin. As soon as he said he was from Mancos, I knew.
❤
🤍
Which one talks about your grandma's or the one where you had the polygamy experience from her journal or something. Very much enjoyed this. Thanks
Ashly
