    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.

      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. 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. :)

      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.

    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

  • @Mysteryman2402
    @Mysteryman2402 12 років тому +10

    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.

    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'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!

  • @byudude2
    @byudude2 11 років тому +7

    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.

    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."

    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?

    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.

    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.

    "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.

    missionaries are set apart with a calling and ordained to be a special witness of Jesus Christ. They are given a mantle of authority and therefore and obligation and a duty to be more pure, and more worthy because they directly represent Jesus Christ. To keep that power and authority, more commandments have to followed more strictly to ensure the spirit remains with them.

    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.
