Remember the Scripture: (substitute Nation and the people
of the Nation in place of Priesthood – and then reflect on where America is
today)
Doctrine and Covenants 121:34 Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not
chosen?
35 Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson—
36 That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected
with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.
37 That they may be conferred
upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or
dominion or compulsion upon the
souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the
heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of
the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the
authority of that man.
38 Behold, ere he is aware, he
is left unto himself, to kick against the pricks, to persecute the saints, and to fight against God.
39 We have learned by sad
experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as
they get a little authority, as they suppose, they
will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.
41 No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by
virtue of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness and
meekness, and by love unfeigned;
42 By kindness, and pure knowledge, which shall greatly
enlarge the soul without hypocrisy, and without guile—
43 Reproving betimes with sharpness, when moved upon by the Holy Ghost; and then showing
forth afterwards an increase of love toward him whom thou hast reproved, lest he
esteem thee to be his enemy;
45 Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and
to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall
thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine
of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven.
46 The Holy Ghost shall be thy
constant companion, and thy scepter an
unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting
dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and
ever.
If
you are concerned about your family’s future and the future of America.....
you
will definitely want to watch this:
Sad,
but too true
“Without
Honor”
cji
11/8/13
Founded
upon principles of doctrine*
rehearsed
over the centuries before
the
Fathers of this once great nation
understood
the divine laws of Father
and
embraced them in their words
seeking
those who were to be honest
with
virtue, good moral character
truth
tellers and found without guile
yet
today we find just the reverse
with
words incontinent to rehearse
greed,
lusts, envy, deceit, guile
each
pretending to be and actor
found
without a bone called honest
attacking
with bloodied swords
denouncing
anything to do with Father
seeking
their own vain creation
wanting
only the next big score
filling
the bowels with their toxin!
*refer
all to the book;

Majesty of God’s Law”
