MISSIONARY WORK
TEMPLE WORK
MINISTERING
IF WE PARTAKE OF THE PRINCIPLES OUTLINED BY THE SYMBOLISM OF THE BREAD OF LIFE, AND ENCORPORATE THE SAVIOR INTO OUR HEARTS, THE HARDSHIPS OF LIFE WILL NOT DESTROY US BUT INSTEAD (LIKE AN OVEN FOR RISEN DOUGH) WILL FOR US, BECOME THIS:
REFINING FIRE TO PERFECTION
OUTLINING THE FRAMEWORK FOR PERSONAL REVELATION, ELDER DALE G. RENLUND OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES EXPLAINED THAT THE HOLY GHOST WILL ONLY GIVE REVELATION WITHIN AN INDIVIDUAL'S PERVIEW AND WILL NOT GIVE ANYONE REVELATION WITHIN THE STEWARDSHIP OF SOMEONE ELSE. WITHIN THIS RELIABLE ORDER, WHO DID THE LORD SAY WILL BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN RECEIVE REVELATION FOR THE WHOLE CHURCH?
THE LIVING PROPHET
IN 1ST NEPHI 15, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD LIKENS THE GATHERING OF ISRAEL UNTO AN OLIVE TREE WHOSE NATURAL BRANCHES WILL BE (THIS) AGAIN.
