Mormon Direction

I have not seen this before. Usually with Anti-Mormon’s they are severely adverse to claiming they believe in this Church and that the Book of Mormon is true. Unfortunately now, I see that evil has no objection in claiming the Prophet and Book of Mormon are true while perpetrating evil.

I have always wondered if this would be a fact and recently I found that it is.  Evil will claim the very things we would expect the faithful claim. This says that evil can claim that Jesus is the Son of God and that he is the Saviour, while injecting evil in subtle ways and twisted ways.

I write this entry to warn others about this fact. To alert others that they need to “hear” or “read” more before finding if who is before them is either good or evil.

Imagine before you a criminal and during your conversation with him or her, they become anger or upset and complains to you of something you said. What you did or said was reasonable based on truth or fact. You were respectful in how you spoke to this person and had no anger toward him or her, yet this criminal became upset at you claiming you were wrong.

Having heard his or her complaint, do you feel guilty or remorseful? Have you felt wrong and thought or feared that you may have gone wrong somewhere, then maybe feel the need to withdraw?

Over the past few years, tattoos have gain popularity in the world. We see shows about tattoo artists, movies idolizing a tattooed hero or heroine. We see celebrities getting tattoos and others being galmourized as Angele Jolie. We see Ad’s using tattooed models as part of the advertising campaign. This is a general idea of what is occurring in the media.

What about locally? Seeing the popularity of tattoos in small towns, guaranteed it exists in the bigger centers. So why is this happening when we consider the predictions God made about these latter-days?

The prophet spoke of being a good example, the General Authorities spoke of the same thing. The power of example is a powerful influence to people. It touches their hearts and minds, something far more influential than material or flesh things. It is the same method that provides a person with power against evil and against corruption. It provides faith a conduit by which to proliferate. Example is that power which Jesus Christ and the Father use to express themselves. Example is what allows a person to be diligent, brave, determined, enduring, patient, tempered and all other good things of the spirit.

To have the ability to sense or feel sin is an important skill in maintaining faith and a single mind to the Lord. The ability to feel sin has nothing to do with seeking sin, it has to do with the ability to discern sin when all logic seems to fail or fall short.

To feel sin is to detect sin or sinful things by their nature and presence. To be able to feel and perceive jointly.

Prayer does work and when done properly it works very well. The workings of prayer are rather simple, but despite this simplicity, so many fail to understand how prayer works and many find that prayer works only sometimes if at all. The scriptures tell us that we are to pray often and diligently. This is not an idle direction from God neither is it contingent on personal preference. A person who prays rightly and often will find that his/her state of mind and heart will abide in the first commandment. Their faith will receive support and direction.

All faith that is not focused into proper works is a dead faith, but rather than getting into the doctrinal support and reason for proper and frequent prayer, I wish to write here a personal aspect of proper prayer.

Prayer has worked well for me, despite experiences where it appeared at times that what help I had asked for seemed to never come.
