This makes me cry so so hard. I've been battling pornograpy for a while now and I wanna serve a mission and I realize that I need to fight harder... and stop dribbling out of bounds.
Hey! It's been seven years and I want you to know that wether or not you made it before aging out, or if it's still something you struggle with, I'm proud of you and I believe in you completely
This is a true message. It is also a very good reminder that keeping within the commandments is MUCH easier than the other alternative. .. that said. God forgives. There is no transgression, rebellion, or act that God hasn't covered through our Christ. ... I too have an addiction to pornography from a very, very young age.. even before I knew what it was I got hooked. ... I'm serving a family history mission at present. Come back, dust yourself off, allow our Lord to find you. He can and will heal you. .. D&C 52:48 Then never give up on Him. Ever. I promise you He will NEVER give up on you. And HE has overcome all for US.
I’m really sorry you’re struggling with such shame I hope you know watching porn doesn’t mean anything about you as a person and it’s normal to be curious about that kind of stuff I hope you know you are lovable and this doesn’t change who you are and your value as a person
about a year ago, when i was 19 i was going through some stuff. I was in the Young Men's presidency serving as secretary. The YM president told me to share this video with the boys I teach. I watched the video before I forwarded it to them. I broke into tears I felt the spirit so strong. I am now sending my missionary papers into Church Heaquarters to get my mission call. This video changed my life. Thank you, Elder Holland.
Thanku pres.. Holland.. One of my favorite speakers .. U always lift my soul up.. In every circumtances I have... Thanku for the warning and councels.. Although this is the youth but still if u say unto one u says unto all... Thanku...
This is my favorite Mormon Message that has inspired me to always stay clean no matter what. When we repent, we have to surrender all of our sins to the Lord. Those who don't will be held back. I know this to be true. Watch your words work wonders in the lives of those who are only kept from the truth for they know not where to find it. We need a lot more missionaries opening that gate, and helping people through it. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
I really needed this. I used to struggle with a pornography addiction, and with my baptism coming up this weekend, Satan is working harder than ever to make sure I don't reach that point with purity and with faith. Watching the ending of the man being baptized reminded me of my goals and my standards. I must stay within the lines of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is only through repentance and faith that I can do that. Thank you, Elder Holland. :)
I LOVE the part when he was repenting & the bishop was speaking & the picture of Christ was sitting right there. Gets me every time. I LOVE THIS GOSPEL!!!
+Danae Valle He's in another video too? The one where he tries to help an inactive boy? Your nephew is very good at this! His spirit comes through clearly! God bless you (and him).
Wow.. Your nephew is just awesome! I always love seeing him on videos because it's like.. I don't know like I could relate to him.. And as a non member like, this is really important! I'd love to thank him one day for his amazing job on the videos!
im 17 and preparing to serve a mission, each time i watch this video i can not help but to cry. this is such an uplifting and motivational video. i feel nothing but the spirit.
Just remember that if you ever find yourself struggling with the addiction again, you have the Lord and your ward Bishop to help you. Never lose hope and never give up. Cling to the iron rod!
"Unbind your tongue and watch your words work wonders in the lives of those who are only kept from the truth..." Being an instrument in the hands of the Lord. What an amazing thing to say. The spirit definitely has touched my heart.
OK... im not a guy but in my Sunday school class we had watched this video and its so inspiring. this is coming from a young women. Who moved schools right in the middle of 10 grade. Having close friends made it harder to move or change. When you sin more then once of the same thing it becomes habit. I started ditching classes and getting in the wrong crowed and it became my life steal and its hard to Chang, but i can say its a life changer just moving to a new enverment and staring new. IF I CAN DO IT I KNOW YOU GUYS CAN
This video inspires me so much. I have struggled before i went on a mission but with help of my bishop, some friends and the Savior, my sins were washed away. The two years I served were not only the best years of my life, they completly changed me and there is not a day I do not think of the many blessings today that I received from repenting and going on a mission. So I know how hard it is, but I also know for sure how much it is worth to change.
Wow! The Lord truly does work in mysteries ways. Elder Holland-- you are definitely a true disciple of God. I've been struggling with a lot of things lately and I really felt that the Lord gave up on me.. No answers, no signs, NOTHING! But this video answered ALL my questions I had for Him. I am truly grateful for this gospel and for the power of repentance. I am with no doubt READY too speak with my bishop. Truly grateful beyond measures. Thank you so much, Elder Holland.
I love how Elder Holland and this video get to the specifics in being prepared to serve a mission. Every young man in the church needs to internalize this message and every young woman should take these principles to prepare for the temple. Living with restraint fosters happiness. What a powerful message!
I recently just returned from serving a mission, and this was a question I got a lot. Having been back, I have felt my mission to have been a bootcamp for my life, it prepares you more than ever to follow your leader. A mission, with it's extremely high standards, makes it so much more difficult to stray away from the commandments once you return. Those extra rules, have given me greater confidence in saying Jesus Christ is my example, and that I Will follow Him.
I just feel in my heart to say, after watching this video, that the church is so true...! THERE IS a living and true church on the earth and many are looking for the truth but know NOT where to find it.How wonderful, and celestial it is, to serve a worthy mission. I give solemn witness of that.
I put my papers in for my mission in April and this video really hit the spot for me. I’ll get many thoughts in my mind like: “I could do this and nobody would ever know.” But something deep inside my pulls me to stay on the straight and narrow.
If any of you guys feel like you need to talk to your bishop, then do! He is there to help you. I talked to him when I struggled and he helped me back on the right path. He isn’t there to punish you, he is there to help you. He will give you love and support. So, again, if the spirit prompts you to talk to him, then do. The day you do, the day your joy will not be able to contain itself.
I really needed to hear that. Thank you Elder Holland for your inspiring, empowering words. I've been praying for courage to talk to my Bishop and you just gave me it. Thanks for being an answer to my prayers :)
This video is a great example of how one moment's decision can effect your life for good or bad! I like how in moments of weakness he depended on his friends and mom to help see him through. 1 Cor. 10:13 13 "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
They are called of God to teach the world His gospel. But in order to do so they must set aside all distractions of the world. When we sacrifice worldly things God is able to more abundantly bless us.
This video really means a lot to me. I really needed to hear that. I've been struggling with some issues and praying for courage to overcome those issues, and well, Elder Holland, you just gave me it. Thank you for being bold enough to say what needed to be said and thank you for being an answer to my prayers :)
Wow! This is a powerful video that everyone needs to see! Not just future missionaries, but everyone. We're all in this together, and we all need to be worthy to help each other overcome our challenges. Wickedness never was, is, or will be happiness. Happiness is obedience.
I stayed clear from all friends who were not a good influence for one year befofe I left 16 years ago. I remember entering a sisters house in northern Kenya and she asked some really tricky question, now I don't know how much I answer it exaclty how she needed to hear it and after I unswered it, I didnt know how I did, in leaving that appointment I marveled at how the spirit works in a worthy priesthood holder.
I'm grateful to listen to the voice of wise men. Their concepts will always lead us to success and happiness. I haven't heard of anyone who has followed the advice of one of these men and went lost.
this is really inspiring and I think it teaches us to share this gospel others and bring others to the church so that they can have everlasting life. This is a message to all members not just missionaries.
What a great video! I love the change from darkness to light I felt as this young man actively made choices to overcome temptation. I am going to use this for a FHE lesson.
This message has changed my life. I made some bad choices at one point of my life. I know the savior has divine love for everyone. His love has helped me draw closer to him. I am so grateful for this church.
I have been struggling with sin and hate myself for it terrible. So know I need to fight harder and keep reading scriptures and saying prayers and stay within the lines ❤
I absolutly LOVE Elder Hollands talks. They are SO powerful and he tells you how it is and doesn't beat around the bush. There was one time I was like,"I'm going to go to the bathroom" and he was staring right at the TV, and I was like,"Never mind..I'll just..sit..back down.." :) Great great speaker. :) Thank you for the video as well. :)
I am not a spokesperson for the church, but I am a preparing missionary, and I'd answer that question by saying it is because missionarys are official representatives of Jesus Christ and His Church, and as such they are required to maintain the highest standards of living and appearance. The rules help to keep missionarys in tune with the Spirit, something absolutely necessary so they may be better guided to those ready to hear the words of the Lord. They also help keep the missionarys focused.
I am thankful for this message...it will help me learn to try and keep away temptation and will help me to forget about anything bad I have done in the past. The spirit has touched me
i was once a missionary in the Philippines Manila Mission, well my friend i have that same question before and its just hard to answer. The life of a missionary truly is a lot different than that of a regular member, missionaries have more strict rules because of the nature of their calling, they are not like everybody else. Imagine what it would be like if they act like everybody else?
Missionaries are set apart for two years to teach and convert, doing this pretty much every day (besides P days). In order to do this every day, missionaries have rules to make sure their work is their #1 priority. They don't date, have a paying job, go to school, etc. Their focus is their mission. As with regular church members, they do need to have a job, go to school, get married, etc. The church is still a huge priority, but not as focused as if church members were on a mission.
Because Missionaries are dedicating part of there life's to the service to bring others to Christ, and they have rules set for them so that the adversary doesn't attack them so hard as those that are living life day by day.
When Jeffrey R. Holland gave the talk "We are all Enlisted" it really was a turning point in my life, the boldness by which he speaks really gets to me and gets me going. I am now called to serve a full time mission in Jakarta Indonesia and i leave in a month, Thank you brother Holland!
"We need young men, already on the team, to stay on it, and stop dribbling out of bounds. Just when you need to get in the game and play your hearts out." -Jeffrey R. Holland This is a call for worthy Priesthood holders to get and stay active. To put their best foot forward, and to prepare to serve an honorable full time mission. Honor your priesthood, and hold God's power the way that Christ held it. "Satan is a real being set on destroying you." Do not give into the adversary's lies.
I heard that message in my first week in the mission field, on october 2011, that message marked the course of my whole mission, thank you for posting this message
As a full-time missionary you are set apart as an Ambassador of the Lord Jesus Christ for a period of 24 months. As a missionary you where the name of Christ on your lapel, regular members though should live a high standard, they are not set apart as a full-time missionary. Hope this helps.
It's been a while since you asked this question. Hopefully you've already received an answer from someone more qualified. The reason missionaries have such strict rules is because, as official emissaries for our church, they are held to a much higher standard. Everything they do and say is as a representative of Jesus Christ. They are an example of the very best that the church has to offer and that requires intense daily dedication. God's way was never meant to be easy. But it's worth it.
I don't know if you've found the answer to your question yet but this is from the talk We Are All Enlisted from the October 2011 Priesthood session. I have a 13 year old son and this talk might be my all time favorite!
Its true that for missionaries there bold strict line. Its because they're called to be representatives of Jesus Christ and seek to invite others to come to Him. Missionaries need to let go of distractions that might hold them back. And though all members are encouraged to do their part in representing the Lord, the role of a full time missionary is different from members because they are set apart for 24 to 18 months. We need His help to serve Him, no matter who we are. And He will help us.
Having served a mission, I would say it's for a lot of reasons. For one, missionaries are typically teenagers and still lack some maturity and definitely lack the wisdom that time and experiences bring. Therefore, they need guides to help them deal with situations they have never dealt with before and to help them focus on their purpose. Their purpose is to bring others unto Christ, full-time. Regular members don't focus on that full time. They have to balance their lives with many things.
This makes me cry so so hard. I've been battling pornograpy for a while now and I wanna serve a mission and I realize that I need to fight harder... and stop dribbling out of bounds.
Hey! It's been seven years and I want you to know that wether or not you made it before aging out, or if it's still something you struggle with, I'm proud of you and I believe in you completely
I hope you’re doing ok and keeping up the fight
Yes fight hard don’t let satan win with the savior will be with you and help you he loves you and all of us ♥️♥️
This is a true message. It is also a very good reminder that keeping within the commandments is MUCH easier than the other alternative. .. that said. God forgives. There is no transgression, rebellion, or act that God hasn't covered through our Christ. ...

How was your mission?!
What would this world be like without Elder Holland. I hope he lives forever.
My seminary teacher showed us this in class and I had to watch it again I felt the spirit so strong. :)
He is such an awesome speaker. He always says things the way they actually are and without making anybody mad or uncomfortable.
Abby Rodarte actually, people should be “uncomfortable” when listening to counsel. All are in need of repentance.
This is my favorite Mormon Message that has inspired me to always stay clean no matter what. When we repent, we have to surrender all of our sins to the Lord. Those who don't will be held back.

My nephew Kalob is returning now from a mission in Peru... He's the star in this video.... Great message!
Awesome
+Danae Valle
He's in another video too? The one where he tries to help an inactive boy? Your nephew is very good at this! His spirit comes through clearly! God bless you (and him).
His name was Guillermo in the other video I loved that video as well of this one too.
Wow.. Your nephew is just awesome! I always love seeing him on videos because it's like.. I don't know like I could relate to him.. And as a non member like, this is really important! I'd love to thank him one day for his amazing job on the videos!

@ 1:51 am in the morning, I had a plethora of content I could have viewed. I'm glad I chose this video.

God is so so good. The church is true I am thankful for the blessing to have had the ability to join the gospel.
I just feel in my heart to say, after watching this video, that the church is so true...!
THERE IS a living and true church on the earth and many are looking for the truth but know NOT where to find it.How wonderful, and celestial it is, to serve a worthy mission. I give solemn witness of that.
One of my favourite District Leaders went on his mission because of this talk. We ARE all enlisted!
I put my papers in for my mission in April and this video really hit the spot for me.
I’ll get many thoughts in my mind like: “I could do this and nobody would ever know.” But something deep inside my pulls me to stay on the straight and narrow.

We cannot radiate and be bold in the truth when we feel guilt and are guilty of something... Powerful message!

I like the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints
elder holland's message is really motivating and instructive. thanks a lot.
This is a great talk. Keeps me on the right path
This video cheers me up everytime i watch it. If you see this comment Brother Holland, you are a great speaker and bring me such a good spirit.
Wow, this is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you for reminding me of this talk. It is exactly what I need to hear. Wow. This is powerful!
I watch this whoever I am tempted
This video frames the heart of the matter beautifully. Our salvation and that of others truly does depend on our ability to live Gospel principles.
Love that little kid's face when he is next to mom.
Hallelujah powerful every family in this world needs to watch this Hallelujah powerful Amen
this is really inspiring and I think it teaches us to share this gospel others and bring others to the church so that they can have everlasting life. This is a message to all members not just missionaries.

LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!!! LOVE JEFF HOLLAND : ) The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is TRUE!!!
I absolutly LOVE Elder Hollands talks. They are SO powerful and he tells you how it is and doesn't beat around the bush.

I love this Mormon message
I am thankful for this message...it will help me learn to try and keep away temptation and will help me to forget about anything bad I have done in the past. The spirit has touched me
It's from "We Are All Enlisted" - given during priesthood session in Oct 2011
Truth...it reverberates in our hearts. This message teaches so much we all ought to apply in our every day lives...
i was once a missionary in the Philippines Manila Mission, well my friend i have that same question before and its just hard to answer. The life of a missionary truly is a lot different than that of a regular member, missionaries have more strict rules because of the nature of their calling, they are not like everybody else. Imagine what it would be like if they act like everybody else?
This is so true and important.
Gosh dang I love Jeffery R. Holland!
This is by far my favorite video
Missionaries are set apart for two years to teach and convert, doing this pretty much every day (besides P days). In order to do this every day, missionaries have rules to make sure their work is their #1 priority. They don't date, have a paying job, go to school, etc. Their focus is their mission. As with regular church members, they do need to have a job, go to school, get married, etc. The church is still a huge priority, but not as focused as if church members were on a mission.
I do not believe in Mormon, but these videos do give out important messages and i enjoy watching them
Because Missionaries are dedicating part of there life's to the service to bring others to Christ, and they have rules set for them so that the adversary doesn't attack them so hard as those that are living life day by day.
One of the fav Mormon message.. thank you this really helps me..
When Jeffrey R. Holland gave the talk "We are all Enlisted" it really was a turning point in my life, the boldness by which he speaks really gets to me and gets me going. I am now called to serve a full time mission in Jakarta Indonesia and i leave in a month, Thank you brother Holland!
This is a great talk.
I was preparing for my mission and this short movie really an eye opening.
because missionaries are much more seen of the world, so we want to set a good example for them
"We need young men, already on the team, to stay on it, and stop dribbling out of bounds. Just when you need to get in the game and play your hearts out." -Jeffrey R. Holland
This is a call for worthy Priesthood holders to get and stay active. To put their best foot forward, and to prepare to serve an honorable full time mission. Honor your priesthood, and hold God's power the way that Christ held it. "Satan is a real being set on destroying you." Do not give into the adversary's lies.
This is probably my favorite video ever
So powerful!!
I heard that message in my first week in the mission field, on october 2011, that message marked the course of my whole mission, thank you for posting this message
These videos are very good. The videos teach me about staying away from the bad things as I learn in my church.
I don´t know how many times I´ve seen this video, I love it. ;)
This video is SO very well made! 💖
Thanks for producing and sharing this! 🙏🏼
Thank for watching!
@@strivetobe It's my privilege! 💖
what a reminder !!!!!!!!!!!!
As a full-time missionary you are set apart as an Ambassador of the Lord Jesus Christ for a period of 24 months. As a missionary you where the name of Christ on your lapel, regular members though should live a high standard, they are not set apart as a full-time missionary. Hope this helps.
Love this.
Wow this is such a powerful message.
God will not be mocked.
Facts.
great message. love this video
It was so needful for me, thank you for posting it!

I remember these videos. Helped me out a lot!
That's awesome! Where did you first see them?
Love this video. Stay within the lines. :)
I love this, its so powerful and thought provoking. 3
Love this video and love being LDS
I don't know if you've found the answer to your question yet but this is from the talk We Are All Enlisted from the October 2011 Priesthood session. I have a 13 year old son and this talk might be my all time favorite!
amazing is an understatement for this video. I love it!
Its true that for missionaries there bold strict line. Its because they're called to be representatives of Jesus Christ and seek to invite others to come to Him. Missionaries need to let go of distractions that might hold them back. And though all members are encouraged to do their part in representing the Lord, the role of a full time missionary is different from members because they are set apart for 24 to 18 months. We need His help to serve Him, no matter who we are. And He will help us.
Having served a mission, I would say it's for a lot of reasons. For one, missionaries are typically teenagers and still lack some maturity and definitely lack the wisdom that time and experiences bring. Therefore, they need guides to help them deal with situations they have never dealt with before and to help them focus on their purpose. Their purpose is to bring others unto Christ, full-time. Regular members don't focus on that full time. They have to balance their lives with many things.
