Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s talk “Pressing forward and holding fast” from the 179th semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Just a gentle testimony to my LDS readers and anyone else who cares….
I want to testify in the name of Jesus Christ that Jeffrey Holland is a living Prophet, Seer, and Revelator – a Disciple of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. A Special witness of Jesus Christ in these Latter Days.
Text of the Book of Mormon on the Internet
Our family was reading 2 Nephi 20 the other night and I had a witness from Heavenly Father that this particular chapter of the Book of Mormon is beginning to be fulfilled right now in our worlds history.
This particular chapter is a near copy of Isaiah 10.
I have recently written some blog posts that contain scary information, and over Conference weekend I have perhaps been more angry and frustrated than at any point in my life.
But when I read these words with our little family the other night – God Spoke Peace to my soul.
24 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God of Hosts: O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
26 And the Lord of Hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and as his rod was upon the sea so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages.
29 They are gone over the passage; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramath is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30 Lift up the voice, O daughter of Gallim; cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day; he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts shall lop the bough with terror; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down; and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
We do not have to live in fear. We do not have to be afraid of murderous thugs who believe they have the right to destroy us and our children with a hundred year conspiracy of lies, distortions, control, compulsion, and coerced sickness and slavery.
Earlier in that same chapter Isaiah describes these slimes:
“13 For he saith: By the strength of my hand and by my wisdom I have done these things; for I am prudent; and I have moved the borders of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man;
14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people; and as one gathereth eggs that are left have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
15 Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? As if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood!”
I was just on Free Republic chatting with some people about the H1N1 vaccine – we all agreed we are not going to be vaccinated. Then I listened to Rush Limbaugh today – he affirmed to his listeners, he is NOT going to be vaccinated. Then I found a place on the web where it was claimed the Guardian of Truth, Glenn Beck, was going to take on the H1N1 vaccine during a show later this week.
And I was comforted. And don’t feel so alone. And I know that God is in his heaven and the very first chapter in the Doctrine and Covenants is going to be fulfilled:
“3 And the rebellious shall be pierced with much sorrow; for their iniquities shall be spoken upon the housetops, and their secret acts shall be revealed.”
And I KNOW THAT HE WILL NOT let his all of his children be destroyed!
16 “For the time soon cometh that the fulness of the wrath of God shall be poured out upon all the children of men; for he will not suffer that the wicked shall destroy the righteous.”
Does this mean that no one is going to die or be disabled from the Vaccine? No. Plenty of people in my own life are getting in line to take any and all vaccines that have been developed. Also, not all of the vaccines may contain the various noxious substances that have been included in the various patents. Lord knows the power hungry mobsters are backpedaling big time on those claims from the peoples push back.
“But it doesn’t contain Adjuvents, it doesn’t have mercury, it’s SAFE and SECURE”, as Kathleen Sebelius told us this morning.
The greatest power on the earth at this moment in time is the Priesthood. Our safety and security depend on our Faith in Jesus Christ, our worthiness to act in his name, and the healing power that is vested in every faithful holder of the priesthood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The priesthood is the power that will heal the nations, that will heal those sickened by these man made diseases, that will protect and secure our individual liberty and posterity.
I know many people will say, “who cares if Jane Burgermeister, Glenn Beck or others yell the truth about the full agenda of the death merchants! WHO ARE THEY?? Nobodies, Nothings, Crazies…etc etc..”
But you know what?
Maybe if we yell a little those who “might” have taken the vaccine out of sheer habit, may pause.
Maybe if we shout it out, some who are thinking about vaccinating their little children, will step back, and consider.
Maybe if we keep writing, speaking, and sharing, then those who are poised, literally, who stand waiting for America to collapse from the sheer weight of the disability, death, and disease that is going to be “forced” on all of us at the point of a gun, perhaps we will be able to push back so hard that they won’t be able to force all of us to get the vaccine.
And perhaps at the end of whatever nightmare scenario is shoved on us by these evil murderers, a few of us will still be standing, healthy, whole, and able to rebuild from the desolation.
It has been prophesied that not too many people will be standing when the Lord Jesus Christ comes again.
But I plan to, and I plan to have a healthy posterity of children and grandchildren standing by my side when he arrives.
I pray we will all hold fast to the truth.
I testify that the things which I have shared are true, and I say it in the name of Jesus Christ…
Amen.
