Same here

I saw this and decided to watch it - Thanks so much!

Spoke for me too...❤❤❤❤

I join you in your prayer 🙏

I love this metaphor. When we look back to the faith of our ancestors, and of where our righteous roots are, those can serve as “point of origin” markers which will help us keep moving forward in a straight line.

@@chilanga6075 In addition to looking back on those who came before us, I think this practice also applies to month-to-month landmarks. If you're struggling it can be hard to know if you're getting any better, but you can compare yourself with the you of a few months ago. Of course we all sin and fall short so you can't get too broken up if you're worse in the present than in the past, but those past months are a good way to keep track of your habits and faith to kind of track where you'll be heading in the future.

In the Army, we call this "dead reckoning". Part of map reading and land navigation.

At the risk of getting off the main topic, there are different wilderness survival situations. If you are deliberately going to a specific point, your suggestion is great. However, if you are lost and don't know where you are and are not absolutely certain of which direction to travel, stay put! I mean that very seriously. I have over 30 years in search and rescue and one of the worst things a lost person can do is continue moving. We start with what information we have about where you have been and usually search beginning there. If you continue to move, you will remove yourself from the area most likely to be searched. I repeat, if you are lost, stay put. Try to protect yourself and do what you reasonably can to make yourself comfortable, but do not leave the area.

I was just thinking of the time in Final Fantasy 7 where you have to do that to get through the blizzard, placing a series of wooden stakes into the ground to mark the path traveled. I feel like I can fall back on previously learned examples from Christ when I'm stumbling, and start up again from there.

Yes the Lord's certainly loves effort and you are making it! Good for you

Bipolar disorder is so difficult, I actually know how you feel. It's scary, disorganized thinking and odd thoughts. My care provider makes appointments she doesn't keep. I'm struggling too. You're not alone. I was recently introduced to the Church of Latter Day Saint faith. I'm interested yet not sure.

No worries the church and prayer will help you navigate your life if there determination to get out of that vicious loop. Have patience and listen what comes in and out of your mind and heart every day that is Christ like. This is not one fits all way of thinking. If we only knew how many Christ like people have to deal with this and making headway leave some bounds slowly but surely.. ​@@maiammyself5680

A good parallel I enjoy is the Israelite Exodus vs the Pioneer Exodus. One group spent 40 years lost due to disobedience. The other group spent 40 years building a temple. It's a good metaphor for life: You can spend your years wandering and lost or you can spend your years working toward eternity. Either way you'll spend the time (live a mortal life), but how will you spend it?

Interestingly enough, Lehi left Jerusalem because the Jews were slowly lead away from the spirit of the Lord. They were lifted up in the pride of their heart. Do you, perhaps, recognize a pattern?

@@ogroberts great, great point ❤

There is so much wisdom in them, but for me, it's that they are delivered like a gift, with so much love, so, so much love.

All the best for you, I'll pray that you'll be able to do what you need to do :)

@@jannikdettmer9279 Thanks!

Hi Greg Suhr, You are in my prayers also. God loves you very much, and is very happy with the choices you are making to follow him right now. The Book of Mormon videos are amazing! If you and I choose to act in faith to follow Christ daily, our lives will be filled with abundant blessings, including faith and the hope that Christ will fulfill his promises to you and I. God bless you brother!

@@nathanbanks2935 Hey, thanks! I recently posted on Facebook about how I had decided to quit tea and coffee. But I pretty quickly felt like that was a cause for stress, and that I needed to back off on that promise. And so I ended up drinking a matcha green tea today. I still think that I want to move in the direction of quitting these drinks, but I don't quite understand why the church has said that green tea is not okay. Still, even so, I don't mind trying to quit these drinks and stuff nonetheless if it is really the best thing to do. 😀 I have already quit alcohol, and don't smoke, so that's something at least. Also, I have quit pornography / strip clubs and some other bad things. I definitely have a testimony of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and His and His Father's love for all of us! ❤️ Thanks for your prayers for me you guys.

Hello @gregsuhr8408, thanks for your comments and we are glad to hear of your testimony. Great job on all of the progress you have made! To answer your question, the Word of Wisdom is a health code included in the Doctrine and Covenants, a book of scripture used by Latter-day Saints. The Word of Wisdom is most recognized for barring the use of alcohol, coffee, tea, and tobacco, but it also promises physical and spiritual blessings. We follow the Word of Wisdom because we believe it is a commandment from our Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ.

God bless you

Yes, we are nothing without Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ, We need The Lord and his comforting calming spirit👍🏻✝️

Please, only follow the actual gospel which is only found in the Bible and not in any other sources.

God bless you for watching this life changing video

God bless you

That's the Holy Spirit Testifying of the Lord to you❤

What a powerful witness, thank you for sharing your testimony!

😂😂I’m so happy I left this cult. Me and buddies and their family left this nonsense. 😂😂😂

❤ great point, thank you so much!

I’m so glad to hear you heard the spirit in your life. He works in mysterious ways and to think you were confronted to cry by such a loving, powerful, and meaningful voice, isn’t that amazing? It was meant for you to here. The gifts we receive from our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are spectacular and I hope you are guided to look for the spirit more in your life. Even if you are or aren’t LDS I dearly hope you can try to read the scriptures, the Book of Mormon is a great way to start looking for everlasting strength and happiness in your life. Please stay on the covenant path because I know so deep within my soul that Heavenly Father awaits you and your gentle spirit and awesome personality. I know that what I’m saying is true because you were shocked too by the spirit, it just tells me how amazing you are! And how great is repentance that we can feel a direct source from him! He’s guided me to write my testimony for you and I hope you’ll like what i’ve said because it is true without a doubt in my heart. Your Heavenly Father loves you, Jesus Christ is the true savior and of course he loves you so much, and the Book of Mormon is another testimony of Jesus Christ and prophets are disciples of Jesus Christ. I really would love to tell you every little thing about what I know but you deserve your own time to converse with your heavenly brother, Jesus. They are the save yesterday, today and forever so keep and open mind to him in your life! I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

God bless you

Hi David, no one is perfect; we all fall short. Our Heavenly Father loves you and will forgive you as many times as you choose to believe and repent. You can learn more about forgiveness here: www.comeuntochrist.org/beliefs/forgiveness/being-forgiven?cid=42001274
