The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
I grew up going to varying churches, the Lutheran church in my youth - then I went to many Assembly of God churches or similar ones as a young adult. I felt fed by the Spirit, and came to understand quite well of the Lord. I was considered an up-and-coming youth pastor. I was quite strong in my testimony after having experienced so much truth I could not deny Him. In 2004 I met the Mormon missionaries & joined, what has happen to my understanding of the gospel has been 100 fold since then. Amen
Cool
Thank you for sharing that great testimony. I went to many other churches before I come to the church of Christ of Latter-day Saints and was blown away by the understanding and the knowledge of the Twelve Apostles. I listen to them in a conference. And I thought, these guys are totally dedicated to the Lord. They speak with so much power and authority it was Way Beyond any preacher I ever listen to. Then I knew this is the only true church upon the Earth. Not to bash the other churches. They have great intentions, they only live by the Bible. When the Book of Mormon and the Bible is combined, you have the true word of God. This church is helping people all the time, have service projects and so many other things to do. I like that then just sitting in a Pew every Sunday and listening to a preacher. That way of life was teaching me the slow way to Jesus and his gospel. Then go home, come Monday morning, go to work and do nothing for other people during the week. When the prophet speaks now I listen, then I go and do as much as possible. I have been a member of the church now for over 40. The great thing is this church it seemed like it has doubled and tripled in size throughout the world. I love every one of our Prophets old and new, also the apostles. I even got to visit with some of the Quorum of the twelve. What a blessing ! I could go on and on, maybe later.
I love hearing these experiences 💕
I´ve been a member of this church for 14 years and I bear my testemony that everything that was said in this vídeo is true, I have felt this influence in my life and I´ve seen this influence in my friend´s lives too. This church is real, God is real, he is our father, he loves us and he communicates with us.
Amen
Hi, Paulo! I don't know if you remember me, but I helped you with your English studies a while back. I am still teaching in the same place and was so excited to see your comment on this particular video! I hope you are doing well. Thank you for sharing your testimony here. It has strengthened mine as well.
I agree with your testimony. So true , if we humble ourselves more we will receive more for sure. God is real and so is Jesus Christ and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to me one of the greatest humbling churches in the world. Knowing that the leader of the church is himself, our Lord Jesus Christ. And thank God we have a prophet and 12 Apostles. Thank you for all your time and effort and help in the church Elder Bednar and for explaining these great words of great worth.
There is a feeling of tremendous peace when one watches these videos--must be true :)
Elder Bednar speaks the truth. I have seen it in the lives of others and experienced it myself. Thanks be to God for modern day prophets and apostles!!!!!!
What a great series. I could definitely feel the Spirit and know that what this apostle says it true.
I am so thankful for clear and meaningful messages by those who know and teach by the power of the spirit. I love Elder Bednar!
Elder David A. Bednar is a very effective and powerful communicator
this is a beautiful way of describing how we can receive directions from above.
Very grateful to have men like him to help us understand God's dealings with
us.
I feel so good with Jesus , he is bringing me so much hope and goodness. Whoever reads this God bless you and Hope you guys are doing well
Thanks
☝🏻😇❤️
So inspiring. I instantly feel a warmth when watching. Not a strong, unbelievable experience, but something uplifting, mind-clearing, and pure.
❤
Amen!!! He is my Light!!! 🙏
No confusion, simple, pure, easy to entreat. :) sooo happy and greatful to be alive!
Elder Bednar is an Apostle of GOD. He is talking about how GOD speaks to each of us ! Carl Simmermacher
Hi Carl
It is videos like this that remind me of my mission and the joy I found in simplicity during those two years of my life. The simple approach to life and the proper perspective on church doctrine penetrates the heart in a way that nothing else can do. Thank you for this reminder.
I also much prefer to follow His light. Great message to start the day.
Amen 😇🙏❤
What a wonderful explanation of the Light of Christ and of revelation! We are blessed to have living prophets and apostles among us to help us understand eternally significant things.
It totally makes sense that light brings warmth....when we say "burning in the bosom" it is the Light of Truth, since light brings that warm feeling! I feel that warmth when I listen to the Apostles teach and even reading their teachings in books! I am feeling that warmth now even with a fan right behind me....it comes from within! What a great way to teach children this concept!
Great video! Following Genesis 1:29 will aid in removing that fog and restoring clarity. Peace
"Sometimes there's enough light just to take a few steps and continue to press forward."
Beautiful and relaxed,
felt the Spirit whisper truth to me during this video
We watched this video in Relief Society yesterday during the lesson, and it brought such a wonderful feeling of the Spirit. :)
Andrea, thanks for sharing your feelings. Yes, I agree with what you share and feel your gratitude. My best from Utah, July Jolley
This is the first time I have ever replied or commented on youtube. I appreciate your desire to know the difference and willingness to ask. From a doctrinal position there are differences. From a Christ centered focus we are all doing our best to Follow Christ regardless of what denomination we are. We do the best we can with what we have and what we know. In simple explanation Mormons are very much Christians. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to reply.
Thank you for sharing these kind words of wisdom and knowledge. It is always a good time to learn uplifting things. You could say also this is free counseling and a lot better than Pharmaceuticals in helping you through the depressing times of life. bless you all!
more precious than gold to me.
I really like these 3 videos. I would love to see more content like this.
Wonderful explanation of revelation. I love the connection to light!
I feel so good watching this.
Thank you for your comment! I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is to say that I am a Mormon, and it is so nice when those not of our faith are respectful and appreciate what is so precious and dear to us. I wish everyone could feel and understand the wonderful things that I have felt and come to understand. Thank you again.
inspiring and comforting at the same time..thank you!
It is the Spirit of Revelation that brought me into this church 15 years ago. It was a simple question and a sudden and profound response as to whether or not the Book of Mormon was true. How I am grateful for that moment in time and for God's willingness to reveal truths to us through his Spirit.
Light vs dark, the Savior is our light in a dark world. I am so grateful God has not left us alone. I know He has given us the Holy Ghost to guide, strengthen and enlighten us as we navigate this incredible life adventure.
I am also not a Mormon, however, I do believe in revelations from God and Christ in these days - today! Like Andrea C, I think the Presidential campaigns of recent have made me want to learn more of the religion. I actually was gifted the Book of Mormon, and am slooooowly reading it now - when I have time. I feel there is much research to do about the people living in this part of the world centuries ago - that I have never thought about before. Guess I should listen to parts 1 and 2!
I have to say that even though we Mormons consider the narrator of this video a prophet of God, the things that he just described are very common to ordinary members of the church. I can personally identify with his description of personal revelation and have spoken with many members of the church who experience it the same way. I dare say that we all do.
If we trust it, and do what is necessary to strengthen it, this ability can be a guide for our lives.
I loved the way you explain very peaceful your vibe. Thank you for sharing give me peace Amen. God bless you.
I am thank full for Those thoughts.
Thank you. . . I needed this today.
That's so great you feel that way! As a member myself I think its so great when people can feel that same happiness I do. Also if you didn't already know this, you can go to Mormon.org to find out anything else you may be curious about. Hope you have a great weekend!
"I know when there is a power, be on my own, that comes from God to me and through me, which is the spirit of revelation."
Receiving the spirit of revelation, is how God speaks to us. I have experienced this, and it's magnificent in two ways. First, I have received inspiration, thoughts, impressions, and answers to help with issues, situations, or problems I am dealing with. Every time, whatever it is I'm dealing with, turns out better with His influence. And secondly, recognizing that He has spoken to me, is a beautiful manifestation of God's awareness and love for me as His son and it makes me so humble and honored that He would reach out to speak to me.
Thank you. . .
How can anyone thumb this down? This is eye opening revelation!
Who knows who might hit the thumbs down button. If they did not like Elder bednar's talk, there is something definitely wrong with their views in life , given by the church Jesus Christ ! Elder Bednar explained it very well, all I can say is if they didn't like that, too bad so sad. 😖This is the truth nothing but the truth so help them God. Please😁
I so sustain and bear witness that all of these are true for I have felt it out of experience and as i learn about his light every day
Elder Bedna you are indeed and Apostle of God
I don't know if you have children, but I highly recommend looking for the Mormon Messages for Youth. They are great and very encouraging for our youth of today to help them stay strong in this world they are being pulled in so many different directions.
Christs' Love Upon You. Upon You ALL..
Excellent teaching us better what revelation is and how it is received.
Typical Elder Bednar Excellent.
very inspiring...i learned from it..
I love this!
great videos . Mormonmessages should make more like these...
Wonderful! Thank you
These are such great videos!
Love you my brother in "CHRIST" "GOD"BLESS you abundantly!!!❤
Pattern of Revelation :D Gotta love this video.
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. =D
Though I do not follow mormonism, the recent presidental elections in the USA has made me curious about the religion. I have to say that I feel as if I have stumbled accross gold. This is a beautiful video and is very becoming on such a lovely channel. Thank you for posting. I am subscribed, and look forward to videos in the future.
I wish I knew where to get the transcripts of this "Patterns of Light" by Elder Bednar. I would like to use it in a talk if ever called upon. The part about walking into the fog, with barely any light, not knowing where you are going - yet faith enough to believe in the path - not necessarily the end. Powerful stuff!!! I am heading down that path right now, ready to die, but knowing the path ahead of me is not known to me; but believing that The Lord knows, and will ultimately decide my end.
PERFECT examples !
Good stuff! Thank you
Hi Andrea, I loved your comment :) I am LDS, and invite you to learn more about it. I am not sure if you know, but on mormon.org you can find more information and even chat online or request missionaries to come to your home to answer any questions you may have. Have a great day
He guides me daily. I can see the light illuminating around the Saints when the do what Heavenly Father says and obey His will. I see ut when they bear their testimony.
Wonderful message! :')
This is true.
I much prefer to follow His Light.
Thank you for uploading.🍃
Wow.... beautifully explained. It's 3 minutes but I've learnt a lot. I love the way you've simplified and compressed this expression. The analogy as well as the visuals and the scripture also concur. Thanks for this....
We're glad you were able to watch and learn from this video, @edgerokoth7234. We hope your are inspired by his other two videos in the series as well:
Part 1: ua-cam.com/video/fycvkAhYz1I/v-deo.html
Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/zDEXQ-GTYTs/v-deo.html
beautiful
You can click on the "interactive transcript" button right underneath the video and it will show you the words being said along with the timeline. Hope that helps!
Lovely
Almighty Father thank you for everything Amen 😇🙏❤
I love it! :)
Hi, I know you posted your question over a month ago but I would still like to reply. It is wonderful that you are a christian and that you enjoy the Mormon messages. Latter Day Saints (Mormons) are also Christians, we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and God our eternal father. We believe that Christ was born to this earth and was sacrificed for our sins. He atoned for our sins so that we are able to repent when we make mistakes. Through Christ we can return to live with him in heaven someday.
Sometimes we don't understand why God does what He does. With that, might I add that sometimes we don't understand how much God loves us...
I feel that if we understand his love for us, then we understand why He does what He does.
muy hermoso, lo recomiendo escuchar atentamente, son palabras muy inspiradoras.
Very beautifully explained ✌️👍🏻
We are not alone in this world. We can get closer to our Heavenly Father by the power of the Holy Ghost. We should be grateful that revelation is available to all of us.
The foggy day happens a lot with me.
Me too.
Spirit of Revelation
❤❤❤
I love Jesus and Im so grateful for his Atonement. He gives me 2nd and 3rd chances to be more like him...
God bless
If you have a willingness to learn, then absolutely!
Keep being curious :)
Very true, just depends on each of us for the blessings of God, not dependent on others, it is my responsibility to make myself worthy of the blessings.
En muy cierto, solo depende de cada uno de nosotros para obtener las bendiciones de Dios, no depende de los demas, es mi responsabilidad hacerme merecedor de las bendiciones.
this is an good video
I recommend you visit mormon.org and you can live chat with someone who can answer all your questions, or you can look up that same type of question on that site. Cheers!
La luz de Cristo ilumina nuestro entendimiento, el espíritu confirma la verdad.
Also there is a 4th video that also elaborates on this subject. It is called "The Miracle of the Holy Bible" and it is at /watch?NR=1&v=XN0cit0XFDs&feature=endscreen. Please keep in mind when watching these videos when the speaker in them states that he "testifies", "bears solemn witness", or "knows", that he does so knowing that he is fully accountable before Heavenly Father for his words AND the influence they may bear upon every person who hears them.
Andrea to me you have stumbled across something much greater than gold! The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or mormonism fills my soul and life with much more happiness, love and peace than any gold could buy. I pray that you will search more into this gold you have found, I would love to help you learn more. Just comment back to me.
Amen☝🏻😇❤️
Amen 😇🙏❤
Amen
However, we believe that God once again called a prophet to this Earth and that He continues to guide us through prophets and apostles.
Amen
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end Amen 😇🙏❤
I am a 'Mormon' or mbr of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I love the Church, the Lord, the Gospel, the Book of Mormon, etc. I love how it has changed my life by the light that the Lord has shed on me thru my faithfulness. I would like to suggest, and these are just suggestions, no push, obtain a copy of the Book of Mormon and peruse the beautiful light with it, and talk to the Mormon missionaries. They can help by shedding more light for you. God bless you.
Andrea, In the feelings you have experienced as you watched this video, you have indeed been communicated to by God--just as the video explained. Isn't that wonderful? God knows you. He loves you. You are his daughter and He wants to bless you with an increase of all that is good in your life. Keep searching and following your positive feelings and thoughts--especially as they point you toward God Jesus Christ. View more "Mormon Messages" and see if the your feelings are the same.
Anyone tell me where I can find this music?
Because of the great gift of us having the power to choose for ourselves God must wait until we ask Him for his help. Then he is very able and most willing to act on our request, pray with your heart and you will have His help. Give God the permission to help you by asking Him to take the reins and give you the understanding that His plan for you is so much more perfect than we ourselves could ever achieve without Him. Become loving kindness and you will have most of life's learning conquered.
That would be the Spirit talking to you. I would suggest going to mormon.org and checking out the faq :)
Mormons are Christians too! The actual name of the church is, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints". I'd say if you enjoy the messages then there must be something good there. Keep listening and learning, there is so much goodness in this Church they will bless your life.
Hi Hannibal! Did anyone answer your question? Im not sure if I can be of help, but I would like to try at least.
We as mormons perceive ourselves as Christians. Just like other Christians we try to learn more about Christ and to follow His teachings. We however also believe that after Christ many of His teachings were changed and His church was lost. When the time was right, God called another prophet like he always did, to restore the full gospel of Christ. As a consequence, we have a church
What movie is that at 2:32?
I think it's one of the Church's New Testament Bible Videos :)
How do I get to the first one?
Hi Rebecca, good question. See links below for the entire Patterns of Light video series:
Part I: ua-cam.com/video/fycvkAhYz1I/v-deo.html
Part II: ua-cam.com/video/zDEXQ-GTYTs/v-deo.html
Part II: ua-cam.com/video/slTa15a3mp0/v-deo.html
Some important differences between Mormonism and other branches Christianity are that Mormons believe that God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are all separate beings, that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ, and that Joseph Smith was a prophet; however, Mormons also have many central similarities. One of these would be a belief in Jesus Christ and all he has done for humanity. If you have more questions, mormon.org (the official website) is a great place to go.
