VISITING TEACHING MESSAGE
Priesthood
Power through Keeping Covenants
Prayerfully study this material
and seek for inspiration to know what to share. How will understanding the
purpose of Relief Society prepare daughters of God for the blessings of eternal
life?
“My
message to … all is that we can live every hour ‘blessed by the strength
of priesthood power,’ whatever our circumstance,” said Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
“… As
you worthily participate in the ordinances of the priesthood, the Lord will
give you greater strength, peace, and eternal perspective. Whatever your
situation, your home will be ‘blessed by the strength of priesthood power.’”1
How
do we invite priesthood power into our lives? Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
reminds us that “those who have entered the waters of baptism and subsequently received their
endowment in the house of the Lord are eligible for rich and wonderful
blessings. The endowment is literally a gift of power … [and] our Father in
Heaven is generous with His power.” He reminds us that men and women “are both
endowed with the same power” in the temple, “which by definition is priesthood
power.”2
Linda K.
Burton, Relief Society General President, said: “Since priesthood power is
something we all desire to have in our families and homes, what do we need to do to invite that power into
our lives? Personal righteousness is imperative to having priesthood power.”3 “If
we will humbly present ourselves before the Lord and ask Him to teach us, He
will show us how to increase our access to His power,” said President Russell M. Nelson, President
of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.4
