The message consists of various thoughts presented by the prophet. The Lord gives us a prophet to teach and testify, guiding us in our lives. We know a prophet is of the Lord through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Inspirational Thoughts
This is the last dispensation, and God has “restored His work with all of its powers, with all of its glory and all of the truth and all of the authority of all previous dispensations.” in this great and final period of time. The prophet’s testimony is that “our Eternal Father lives,” that “Jesus is the Christ,” and “we may be bound together as families for time and all eternity.” The book of revelation is not closed, and “God directs this day and time and speaks” today. If “you have any doubt concerning any doctrine of this Church, … put it to the test. Try it. Live the principle. Get on your knees and pray about it.” The Lord will bless you with knowledge of the truth of this work.” Stand above evil. The very purpose of this work is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man through an “eternal compact that time cannot destroy and death cannot break,” by being sealed in the temple. “[C]ome to the temple. Live worthy to come to the temple. Live the commandments of God so that you may come to the temple. Do those things which will make you eligible to serve in the house of the Lord.” Priesthood holders, “live worthy of it,” and “never do anything which would destroy our effectiveness as His sons in exercising” the priesthood. Jesus Christ is Creator, the “promised Messiah,” and the “Resurrection and the Life.” “We love Him. We honor Him. We thank Him. We worship Him.” His atonement is “the greatest event in human history.”
For the Home Teachers
Explain the importance of a prophet, and the role of a seer. Discuss how we can know these concepts came from God, and testify we can know by the Holy Ghost.v
