I rewatched this today and was so grateful to go over it again. It’s loaded. It’s funny that ever since I remember reading and comprehending, I have loved the greeting for the school of the prophets. I long for the day when Satan is bound and we can freely love our brothers and sister. When the pure love of Christ answers the end of the law and we can get past what Elder Maxwell called ,”a reception line society.” Where spirit can reach spirit. Thank you for all your insights. I love it where you explain something and I already understand it. It’s just nice to know that I got it before someone had to teach it to me. 😊
Brother Jared…I for one am grateful to be taught by you at this point of your mission. Your faithful, humble heart and quickened mind have allowed the Spirit to awaken my desire to learn, and grow in the light of truth. The love you express for all of us is the robe of charity. Thank you again, my good brother😇. Keep up the good work👍❤️. David
I have 2 children in my family who have chosen to leave the church. It's the hardest thing I've done, even more tha my husband's death by leukemia 11 years ago. These are such a comfort to me.
Brother Halverson... there have been so many incredibly uncanny coincidences* happening in my life lately. Thank you so much for all of your help throughout my amazing journey. You may never know how much your work has meant to me, but someday I hope to shake your hand and at least say; "THANK YOU"! *there are no coincidence😉
When I think that I couldn't love the Savior any more than I do, then I read and study and listen to your lesson of section 88. I again come to realize that HE is so much greater than we can possibly imagine, and my Love for HIM continues to grow deeper. Thanks Jared !!!
I’m am so grateful for your teaching on UA-cam for there are so many that cannot attend a classroom. I am 77 yrs old and I can go back and testify or review passed Come Follow Me I love the verse by verse. I am so grateful for such a opportunity to study with a teacher. Sometimes early in the morning or even all night Thank you so much. Gloria Ricker
Brother Jared... you have become my friend! Thank you. Amen I went to the temple this week and I was wondering why it is said time and all eternity. And thinking about it this week you said: Time to prepare to meet God. Time is the time we have we have to prepare to meet God. Thank you for the answer! Eternity is living with God or whatever relationship we want to have with Him.
I received my Patriarchal Blessing when I was 14 years old. I really wanted to receive it and anxiously anticipated an intimate conversation from God to me through his Patriarch. I sat in humble amazement at the profound words pouring over my head. Many verses from this Section 88 are specifically given to me - including verses 78 and 79. I pondered how on earth I would be able to accumulate such knowledge, and do as the Lord asked of me. All these years later, it was showing up for my required meetings, personal prayer and scripture study. That and a healthy love of Natural Medicine, Constitutional Law, and a great love of Nature. He knew me better than I knew myself at that age! I love this section so much, I'm going to do it again right now. Thanks for a wonderful lesson.
Thanks for the verse by verse explanation. I understand the readings much better, especially verses I don’t get, when I come to Unshaken. Always a spiritual feast👏👌🙏
This section contains great symmetry and bounteous order. As we study each word again and again, the intricate delicacy of these truths draw us closer to our Father. As Maxwell once suggested, as we begin to recognize the great geometry and tapestry of the entirety of Gods creations, we begin to recognize our place within those creations and within in the Kingdom of God. Like climbing to the top of a mountain, the view is majestic!
I thought that I had "stumbled upon this site". Now I realize that Heavenly Father Led me to it! Thank You for creating this site and for all of the effort that you have put into it! I Love your analogies! You've helped me to better comprehend these Deep concepts that otherwise would have just passed over my head.
Me too Sally! I thought - oh, what’s this - someone who does verse by verse study! Lucky find! Then as the weeks turned into months I realised exactly as you did - that I had been led to Unshaken by a Heavenly Father who understood my desperate need to learn, and I am so grateful He did!
How Great your Wisdom is brother. I know because of The Holy Ghost bestowed upon our head during baptism & confirmed As a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. I believe in Jesus name. Thanks a lot for sharing your gifts from our Heavenly Father Elohim.
Amen! And thank you for your knowledge of the scriptures, your beautiful life experiences, your sense of humor, your goodness. you are an amazing teacher! Like everyone else, I love the depth of your 3 hour teachings, and look forward to them. Covid has been a blessing in my life because it brought you to me and a greater understanding of this awesome God, his humble servant, Joseph Smith, eternal truths more easily explained. My testimony has grown so much by your teaching.
Oh, I finally am able to write a note. Thanks for your wonderful class. Only does who feel it, understand what am saying. This is the best meal I get a day. Gracias ❤👏👍
This lesson has been mind blowing! Thank you so much! I so look forward every week for your podcast! I’m in an assisted living facility and I miss my institute classes. I’ve taken them since 1975, have had so many excellent teachers! I’m grateful for each one! I’m now also watching The Chosen, and it has brought me closer to my Savior!
Interesting that you talked about the eclipse in August of 2017, that is a day when I had my heart attack that led to my death experience 5 days later in which I was in the universe seeing the grandeur of it and eventually looking down at Earth and having questions asked and gaining and understanding of the vastness of everything along with the miracles of these kingdoms you were talking about. This lesson is reconnected me with that, thank you so very much!
I cannot thank you enough for these lessons. I have recently been called as a Gospel Doctrine teacher and you have give me tremendous insights and guidance for my classes.
Finally I know what your paint is! Beautiful 🤩 thank you for sharing such special creation! I have come to love and understand so much better the Holy Scriptures with you! I don’t know if you can comprehend how much you bless many of Heavenly Father children’s with the lesson you teach! I am so grateful! Thank you
I love the way you speak of your wife. It's obvious how much you love her. My husband loves me, too, but he's not a poet. He's more into country music and baseball. 😊 Keep these lessons coming. They make my week!
I used to wonder why space was filled with so much darkness. Then i learned more about light and light spectrums and realized that space must be filled with light we just dont see with our eyes. Then God directed me to these scriptures. Love this
“But the power of God is plain to see, There are wonders on every hand To those who will see through eyes of faith, Beyond the mind of man. For how could we hope To see His face, Who never could see His hand?” ☀️💫💛
Ah the light that enters my life with each of these precious lessons! I so do recharge on words of wisdom given to us with such love and passion by a superb teacher - and here may I add, who has a wonderful sense of humour which lightens heavy moments, clarifies Doctrine and takes away all sense of time! I speaking of the “Jaredisms” of humour: not wanting to be one of the meek to inherit an orbiting charcoal brickette of a planet, who gets lapped by his wife in the race to develop the ability to cleave, embrace and love truth! I know I would feel so deprived to not have access to these discourses which help me develop my ability to recharge to increasing levels of truth and joy. Thank you again Brother Jared for sharing with us your wonderful insights!
There is so much truth in what you are saying. This is what we have been taught for many years by general authorities. Piece by piece. Our general authorities speak the words of the scriptures over and over again hoping that we will understand. God's plan is wonderful. Thank you for sharing these and reminding us again. Maybe one day I'll just hope one day it will penetrate deep into our minds and hearts. I know you speak the truth.
Love your insights and the way you explain the scriptures. "You have a real gift that makes me want to be present". Thank you for your time & dedication.
Jared! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 132 And when any shall come in after him, let the teacher arise, and, with uplifted hands to heaven, yea, even directly, salute his brother or brethren with these words: 133 Art thou a brother or brethren? I salute you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, in token or remembrance of the everlasting covenant, in which covenant I receive you to fellowship, in a determination that is fixed, immovable, and unchangeable, to be your friend and brother through the grace of God in the bonds of love, to walk in all the commandments of God blameless, in thanksgiving, forever and ever. Amen.
Thank you Jared🙏. I felt your love as you talked about where we address each other as brother, sister n friend. Thank you for another wonderful lesson. May God bless you and your family🥰🙏💖
A few years ago I ran across a definition of meekness from the Oxford dictionary that really helped me understand that characteristic in a person better. I had always struggled with it, not having words to define it. It said--Meekness has been contrasted with humility as behavior toward others, whereas humility refers to an attribute towards oneself--meekness meaning restraining one's own power, so as to allow room for others. As you were discussing meekness, I began thinking how humility refers to our relationship with God, or the first and great commandment, and meekness refers to the second. Once again that cross analogy that is so beautiful.
Thank you for this beautiful lesson. I understand this chapter and others so much more because of your teachings. I love listening and learning from you.
That describes well how I've come to understand humility and meekness. Humility is about being teachable, to recognize truth, and God is the source of that truth, so humility is a submissiveness to God (not to men, who often teach things that are not true). Meekness is not using your power to elevate yourself above others, consciously choosing to serve others instead of to be served by others. Strength or power is there for a prerequisite to meekness, otherwise it is just weakness.
I loved all of the incites that you have shared this week and am very grateful for your service. Please thank your wife and family for their sacrifice of your time as well. I hope you know that there are many of us who absolutely love spending time studying the scriptures together with you. May the Lord bless you and your family for your service in the Kingdom!
This is life-changing for me. Thank you for the way you teach with beautiful pictures and easy-to- understand analogies (especially the laws of kingdoms). I think your wedding rings are incredibly romantic and impactful, thank you for showing us that picture of marriage.
I’m thinking of the hymn “Reverently and Meekly Now” as we read verse 75: “At the throne I intercede; for Thee ever do I plead. I have loved thee as thy friend, with a love that cannot end”
The way you teach helps me see more clearly how the scriptures are applicable in my daily life! Your explanation of kingdoms helped me overcome anger this morning, seeing that I need to learn the laws of the kingdom of marital communication. Thank you dear friend!
I am new to your program, but I love it. This good brother teaches profound truths and explains them so that I and others can understand each and every section of the D&C. Thank you with a grateful heart because I want to learn and to be among the chosen and to do this I will keep on studying. Thank you again for all you do!!
Thank you again for your beautiful Spirit with which you teach always. We can feel your love for the gospel and most of all for your Savior. I love you showing us how we have been in Divinity school. Some of us have been there longer or shorter. But what a wonderful way to look at what we can and need to learn .Thank you again .I am surprised your voice don,t give out on you Sure love you in all you do..
I've gotten a little "behind" in my study and finally listened to this this week, but gem after gem, precept upon precept these insights we're exactly what I needed to make sense of things going on in my life right now. Bless you for your work and for laying your education on the altar to bless all of us! ❤️
Love listening! Allows me to be able to reach out to my 3 boys who are grown and married for the second time, like my deceased 1st husband. Now I have wisdom! Love the Lord, my Church, and the many videos that helps me to be strong. I can stand in Holy Places. God is my strength!! Praise God for Joseph Smith who was used to restore God's Gospel! Thank you for opening my eyes! God bless all God's Children!!!
What can I say that hasn’t been said. Hermanito usted es un gran maestro. Me encantan sus lecciones, siento el espíritu cuando leemos verso por verso y siempre me llega al corazón cuando enseña las escrituras. Me trae a la memoria mis años de maestra de seminario en mi barrio. Cuanto aprendí y disfruté esos 8 años. Ahora soy su estudiante. Gracias, muchas gracias. Carmen Sara Legere
I am humbled that I had no clue what lay dormant in Doctrine and Covenants until I took the time to listen to the Lord through your lessons. Truly, He is pleased with your ministry in His name!!!
I love your lessons so much and am so grateful for all you do! This lesson in particular has been wonderful. I am learning so much. I am teaching a 5th Sunday lesson about love and law and your spirit filled teachings have enlightened my understanding!
Every time I study with you another worry moves from shelf three to shelf 2. Thanks for extending the significance of Section 87 beyond just the Civil War and explaining of the bundling of the tares before the burning. I can't restrain from expressing my gratitude to you and Heavenly Father.
I had an amazing experience one day as a counselor in RS. I was awakened by a phone call from someone I didn't know. Turned out to be a High Councilman in my Stake who was waiting at the Bishop's storehouse for a woman to receive her food order. Unfortunately, he had run out of time and had to leave, so he was desperately trying to find someone to take his place until this sister arrived. An incredible feeling took over me. There was nothing else in the world I would rather do! This feeling of pure, Heavenly love filled me to the brim. I could hardly hold back my zeal as I got dressed and quickly went where I was needed. It wasn't a chore, it was an amazing privilege to help this sister and this good elder. When I got there, I prayed for this sister and her family. I thanked my Heavenly Father for the opportunity to serve her over and over. My heart was full of love for the Lord. I needed to know that I could love serving my brothers and sisters. Now I know that this beautiful experience showed me Celestial love and the desire to serve can be bestowed upon us if we seek it. This wonderful experience helps me to seek it every day nowI
I love these lessons since I discovered Unshaken halfway through the Book of Mormon last year. D&C 88:63 has a different order of the terms seek, ask, and knock from everywhere else in the scriptures where we find ask, seek, and knock. I think it is significant and would love to hear Brother Halverson discuss that difference.
Your teachings, exhortations, preachings, and expounding of the scriptures using analogies and experiences, has been an insightful and uplifting blessing for me as im sure for others as well....I am grateful that it's teachers like you who gives us the drive to learn and glean more from you and others like you, your knowledge of the scriptures, and in short how you explain each scripture verses so well, that it makes sense and is easily understandable....I thank God everyday for people like you for sharing your teachable talents.... As Heavenly Father would say "well done my true and faithful loyal servant". or something to that effect....God bless.
To offer the alms of prayer is to give our will to God in prayer. Meaning- only speak what the spirit moves you to speak in your prayer- and only close the prayer when the spirit moves you to close the prayer. God knows all of our hearts, minds and needs- prayer is meant to commune with Him. Giving words to the light of Christ that is within you is an alm- for you are giving up your agency to align yourself with God. This is Mighty Prayer. Though this process your words will be answers to your prayers as you testify before your maker of what Christ’s Spirit is testifying to you- and as the Holy Ghost bears witness.
I love studying with you and others this part Reminds me of the book 📖 of Revelation Hopefully my beautiful daughter will be able to stand stronger and tell himget away from me acall upon Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ 🙏 2:39:33
I enjoy your teaching. When you talked about God visiting each kingdom for an hour, and unlimited kingdoms, it dawned on me that even in the celestial kingdom, we/they won't seem Him much if He is visiting unlimited kingdoms. One and done for a LONG period of time.
Your thoughts about vs 130 reminded me of this poem that I love and try to implement as I teach my children… The Teacher Lord, who am I to teach the way To little children day by day, So prone myself to go astray? I teach them knowledge, but I know How faint the flicker and how low The candles of my knowledge glow. I teach them power to will and do, But only now to learn anew My own great weakness through and through. I teach them love for all mankind And all God's creatures, but I find My love comes lagging far behind. Lord, if their guide I still must be, Oh, let the little children see The teacher leaning hard on Thee. --Leslie Pinckney Hill
I was so amazed by your retelling of the incident with the speeding Elders and the policeman who stopped them. I have to tell you that my husband & I were serving our mission in the New Mexico Farmington Mission in 2014. We were stationed at Indian Wells Arizona about 40 miles north of Holbrook. I was scheduled to play the piano for a baptism and I was running just a little late and had a a sort of a heavy foot on the gas pedal when I too was stopped by a policeman. He inquired as to where I was going to which I replied that I was going to play the piano for a baptism being held at the Holbrook Stake Center. He then suggested that if I would quote to him the 12th Article of Faith that he would not issue a traffic violation. How grateful I was that I had the Articles of Faith memorized and could satisfy his request! He then encouraged me to continue on to my destination with the admonition to take it a little slower! We love your lessons, Elder Halverson! We use your B of M discussions as our B of M daily reading as well as taking advantage of all of your discussions of the D & C and we are looking forward with great anticipation to your lessons on the Old Testament next year. Keep up this awesome work you are engaged in! We are so very grateful for your knowledge & understanding of the scriptures & the insights that you share!
When thinking of the creation as written in Genesis & it speaks of light, I think of it as matter. But I love how God doesn’t speak of it as matter, but as light…the potential to shine. God organized light/matter that is in the cosmos…which isn’t created nor destroyed….without beginning nor without end…it’s how we define matter & how light is matter. So to me it makes sense that God organized matter, aka matter with potential to shine &/or testify of the Father, as light…which doesn’t need a sun, moon or stars in order to illuminate
I rewatched this today and was so grateful to go over it again. It’s loaded. It’s funny that ever since I remember reading and comprehending, I have loved the greeting for the school of the prophets.

What a great lesson. It deserves sereral viewings. Who can doubt that Joseph Smith was and is a Prophet of God.
Brother Jared…I for one am grateful to be taught by you at this point of your mission.

I have 2 children in my family who have chosen to leave the church. It's the hardest thing I've done, even more tha my husband's death by leukemia 11 years ago. These are such a comfort to me.
Brother Halverson... there have been so many incredibly uncanny coincidences* happening in my life lately.
Thank you so much for all of your help throughout my amazing journey. You may never know how much your work has meant to me, but someday I hope to shake your hand and at least say; "THANK YOU"!

I like this quote:
A Coincidence is just a small miracle in which God chooses to remain anonymous.
Amen🙏💜

Your views on law opens many doors in my soul. Thank you.
That was so good. You are saving millions of us spiritually. Love you brother. I listen 4 times already still not tired to listen
Masterfully taught the profound revelations of Section 88. Thank you for your gifts of preparation and study that we too may be edified.
Thank you brother Halverson!! I appreciate you so much and all of your time and effort. You are truly an inspired teacher. Thank you 😊
Today, we feast like Kings and Queens, nourishment for the soul.😎
Absolutely beautiful teaching and instruction!!!
Thanks for sharing your many gifts with his children, who desire to know his only begotten, who 💖 us all as his family, friends
You help those who over think it all, understand the plain simple truth, so many desire to understand the truth
Brother Jared... you have become my friend! Thank you. Amen I went to the temple this week and I was wondering why it is said time and all eternity. And thinking about it this week you said: Time to prepare to meet God. Time is the time we have we have to prepare to meet God. Thank you for the answer! Eternity is living with God or whatever relationship we want to have with Him.

I've gotten a little "behind" in my study and finally listened to this this week, but gem after gem, precept upon precept these insights we're exactly what I needed to make sense of things going on in my life right now. Bless you for your work and for laying your education on the altar to bless all of us! ❤️
Love listening! Allows me to be able to reach out to my 3 boys who are grown and married for the second time, like my deceased 1st husband. Now I have wisdom! Love the Lord, my Church, and the many videos that helps me to be strong. I can stand in Holy Places. God is my strength!! Praise God for Joseph Smith who was used to restore God's Gospel! Thank you for opening my eyes! God bless all God's Children!!!
So much light and truth in this section! Thank you for enhancing that light and truth!
Amen, Brother Jarred. I love your teaching
Thank you a million times over again. . . . .
What can I say that hasn’t been said. Hermanito usted es un gran maestro. Me encantan sus lecciones, siento el espíritu cuando leemos verso por verso y siempre me llega al corazón cuando enseña las escrituras. Me trae a la memoria mis años de maestra de seminario en mi barrio. Cuanto aprendí y disfruté esos 8 años. Ahora soy su estudiante. Gracias, muchas gracias.

I am humbled that I had no clue what lay dormant in Doctrine and Covenants until I took the time to listen to the Lord through your lessons. Truly, He is pleased with your ministry in His name!!!
Thank You so Much for This Great Knowledge . I Appreciate it .
Trust in Jesus Christ. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m so glad to listen this lesson, so happy and hope. Thank you very much 😍👏
You are a huge blessing in my life!
I love your lessons so much and am so grateful for all you do! This lesson in particular has been wonderful. I am learning so much. I am teaching a 5th Sunday lesson about love and law and your spirit filled teachings have enlightened my understanding!
Every time I study with you another worry moves from shelf three to shelf 2. Thanks for extending the significance of Section 87 beyond just the Civil War and explaining of the bundling of the tares before the burning. I can't restrain from expressing my gratitude to you and Heavenly Father.
Changing my life one lesson at a time Brother Jared!!
Wonderful lesson, thank you so much!
Mind blowing lesson
You are amazing teacher.
Thank you so much
Amen Brother Jared!!!! Amen…
I had an amazing experience one day as a counselor in RS. I was awakened by a phone call from someone I didn't know. Turned out to be a High Councilman in my Stake who was waiting at the Bishop's storehouse for a woman to receive her food order. Unfortunately, he had run out of time and had to leave, so he was desperately trying to find someone to take his place until this sister arrived. An incredible feeling took over me. There was nothing else in the world I would rather do! This feeling of pure, Heavenly love filled me to the brim. I could hardly hold back my zeal as I got dressed and quickly went where I was needed. It wasn't a chore, it was an amazing privilege to help this sister and this good elder. When I got there, I prayed for this sister and her family. I thanked my Heavenly Father for the opportunity to serve her over and over. My heart was full of love for the Lord. I needed to know that I could love serving my brothers and sisters. Now I know that this beautiful experience showed me Celestial love and the desire to serve can be bestowed upon us if we seek it. This wonderful experience helps me to seek it every day nowI
Thank you so much for another wonderful lesson. I learn so much and look forward to watching each week
Gracias hermano Jared‼️I loved your Unshaken of this section 88. Le doy gracias a Dios por haberlo encontrado.
Another great lesson. Thanks 😊
Beautiful lesson, Thank You and Amen.
I love these lessons since I discovered Unshaken halfway through the Book of Mormon last year. D&C 88:63 has a different order of the terms seek, ask, and knock from everywhere else in the scriptures where we find ask, seek, and knock. I think it is significant and would love to hear Brother Halverson discuss that difference.
The meek are always run down and pushed out. There are no meek rulers. The Lord is promising their gifts will be brought to the front. Love this!
Your teachings, exhortations, preachings, and expounding of the scriptures using analogies and experiences, has been an insightful and uplifting blessing for me as im sure for others as well....I am grateful that it's teachers like you who gives us the drive to learn and glean more from you and others like you, your knowledge of the scriptures, and in short how you explain each scripture verses so well, that it makes sense and is easily understandable....I thank God everyday for people like you for sharing your teachable talents.... As Heavenly Father would say "well done my true and faithful loyal servant". or something to that effect....God bless.
Brother Halverson if you are not there yet. I have no hope 😔. Beautiful lesson. I had to stop you so I could write everything that touched me.
This earth is also the most obedient for Christ to reside on her.
Thank you Brother Halverson!! I have such a love for learning from your teaching! I love the details and line upon line way you teach!!
1:15:30 - Your explanation and insights about why God asks Job all those questions is insightful! Bravo Bro. Halverson!
To offer the alms of prayer is to give our will to God in prayer. Meaning- only speak what the spirit moves you to speak in your prayer- and only close the prayer when the spirit moves you to close the prayer. God knows all of our hearts, minds and needs- prayer is meant to commune with Him. Giving words to the light of Christ that is within you is an alm- for you are giving up your agency to align yourself with God. This is Mighty Prayer. Though this process your words will be answers to your prayers as you testify before your maker of what Christ’s Spirit is testifying to you- and as the Holy Ghost bears witness.
Wow!
I do a fair amount of studying the Gospel, at least to my standards.
This lesson is very deep and yes mind blowing good, I love it.
Thank you.
I love 💝 this . . . I’m serving as a Senior Sister missionary in the Loaog Philippines Mission. Your podcasts lift me up.
I love studying with you and others this part
Reminds me of the book 📖 of Revelation
Hopefully my beautiful daughter will be able to stand stronger and tell himget away from me acall upon Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ 🙏 2:39:33
I enjoy your teaching. When you talked about God visiting each kingdom for an hour, and unlimited kingdoms, it dawned on me that even in the celestial kingdom, we/they won't seem Him much if He is visiting unlimited kingdoms. One and done for a LONG period of time.
That's an interesting thought. However, time does only exist for us now mortals.
I love the hour mark: I don't fly because of kindness, I fly because of physics. What a great metaphor to help me be more Ok with God's commandments.
I LOVE the Symbolisms❤
Thank you once again for your beautiful Spirit with which you teach.I love the way you put is in Divinity
Hello Teacher Jared Halverson, I told my sister to subscribe to your channel and she loves every lessons you taught .
Prayers for everyone 🙏 48:51
Loved your explanation of the law. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you again, so much.
She lapped me again put a smile on my face
Your thoughts about vs 130 reminded me of this poem that I love and try to implement as I teach my children…
The Teacher
Lord, who am I to teach the way
To little children day by day,
So prone myself to go astray?
I teach them knowledge, but I know
How faint the flicker and how low
The candles of my knowledge glow.
I teach them power to will and do,
But only now to learn anew
My own great weakness through and through.
I teach them love for all mankind
And all God's creatures, but I find
My love comes lagging far behind.
Lord, if their guide I still must be,
Oh, let the little children see
The teacher leaning hard on Thee.
--Leslie Pinckney Hill
I was so amazed by your retelling of the incident with the speeding Elders and the policeman who stopped them. I have to tell you that my husband & I were serving our mission in the New Mexico Farmington Mission in 2014. We were stationed at Indian Wells Arizona about 40 miles north of Holbrook. I was scheduled to play the piano for a baptism and I was running just a little late and had a a sort of a heavy foot on the gas pedal when I too was stopped by a policeman. He inquired as to where I was going to which I replied that I was going to play the piano for a baptism being held at the Holbrook Stake Center. He then suggested that if I would quote to him the 12th Article of Faith that he would not issue a traffic violation. How grateful I was that I had the Articles of Faith memorized and could satisfy his request! He then encouraged me to continue on to my destination with the admonition to take it a little slower! We love your lessons, Elder Halverson! We use your B of M discussions as our B of M daily reading as well as taking advantage of all of your discussions of the D & C and we are looking forward with great anticipation to your lessons on the Old Testament next year. Keep up this awesome work you are engaged in! We are so very grateful for your knowledge & understanding of the scriptures & the insights that you share!
You helped make a connection with laws and kingdoms for me. Thank you!
It's good to have some uplifting scriptures while cleaning up after the Enoch/Cedar City Utah Flood.
Amen!
Un abrazo para usted también 🤗
I had not really understood that Christ's atonement was for all the people on all the planets that he created. mind blowing !
Amen
Thank you 🙏
When thinking of the creation as written in Genesis & it speaks of light, I think of it as matter. But I love how God doesn’t speak of it as matter, but as light…the potential to shine. God organized light/matter that is in the cosmos…which isn’t created nor destroyed….without beginning nor without end…it’s how we define matter & how light is matter. So to me it makes sense that God organized matter, aka matter with potential to shine &/or testify of the Father, as light…which doesn’t need a sun, moon or stars in order to illuminate
