Behold, he changed their hearts; yea, he awakened them out of a deep sleep, and they awoke unto God. Behold, they were in the midst of darkness; nevertheless, their souls were illuminated by the light of the everlasting word; yea, they were encircled about by the bands of death, and the chains of hell, and an everlasting destruction did await them.
And now I ask of you, my brethren, were they destroyed? Behold, I say unto you, Nay, they were not.
And again I ask, were the bands of death broken, and the chains of hell which encircled them about, were they loosed? I say unto you, Yea, they were loosed, and their souls did expand, and they did sing redeeming love. And I say unto you that they are saved.
Alma 5: 7-9
🚨 HOLY CRAP. Nick Shirley reveals his security informed him the left put out HITS against his life — simply because he exposed fraud
Keep him safe at ALL COSTS.
"People have sent me photos of people on ditches saying 'that's going to be you' and people have openly said that 'if you see Nick Shirley, tell me k**l yourself."
"Now I am getting a little more fearful for what's happening in my life and what's happening with life in my family, as you've seen not only attacks from like the mainstream media, but more so attacks from just people on the internet saying those things about you and your life."
"Our second day at the hotel they said that we needed to move hotels because it was our word was out as to where we were staying."
"And we were told by the security that Nick was the number one man, like they had a hit on me and was what they said."
"So it was very frightening, it was very frightening."
Elon Musk: You can tell which side is the good side and which side is the bad side by which side wishes to restrict freedom of speech
The side that is restricting freedom of speech you know, that would have been the Hitlers, Stalins, and Mussolinis of the world
They had very strong censorship, very strong restrictions on speech. That’s one of the signs that they’re the bad guys
In fact, a restriction on speech and large government is fundamentally fascist, obviously. So ironically, in pushing for censorship, it makes it very clear that the left is the side that is against freedom
Freedom of speech is simply one of many freedoms that we should have as a civil society because ideas should win on the strength of their arguments. They should not win because they are suppressed
During the winter, days can feel heavy and gray.
As a regular part of their work before flights, pilots do outside checks of their aircraft. During cold and rainy days, this is not their favorite part of the job.
But one of my favorite experiences as a pilot on a day like that came after taking off and climbing through dark clouds when, suddenly, the aircraft climbed into the clear, brilliant, and beautiful sunlight—leaving behind dark clouds, rain, and slush.
That instant contrast taught me that when we focus our eyes on heaven, we can emerge into light—even during the seemingly darkest of days.
However thick the clouds, the sun is always there, waiting to shine on us as we rise toward heaven.
If you feel weighed down and troubled, please don’t lose heart. Keep moving forward and upward with faith, prayer, and trust in the Lord. His light is always there to lead and comfort us.
He wasn’t trying to start a church.
He was a 14-year-old boy confused by the noise of religion around him. Different preachers. Different doctrines. Everyone claiming to be right.
So he did what the Bible said:
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God…” James 1:5
He went into the woods to ask God.
That prayer changed the world.
Because God the Father and Jesus Christ answered.
And from that moment, the restoration of the fullness of the gospel began.
For four years, he came back to this hill.
Same place. Same promise. Same obedience.
Not rushing. Not forcing. Not taking before the Lord said it was time.
Year after year, Moroni taught him, prepared him, and waited until Joseph was ready.
Then, in 1827, because he was prepared, he was entrusted with the plates.
Revelation isn’t just about faith.
It’s about patience, obedience, and being ready when God says now.
One thing I love about what The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches about Jesus Christ is this:
His Atonement was not only for sin.
It was for pain.
For grief.
For betrayal.
For mental anguish.
For the quiet suffering no one else sees.
Christ did not just pay a debt.
He descended below all things so He could know all things.
That means there is no sorrow you carry that He has not already carried first.
No weakness He does not understand from the inside.
He is not a distant Savior.
He is a fully acquainted one.
And that changes how I trust Him.
These events truly happened, and because of them, the gospel has been restored.
We can be sealed to our families for eternity.
We hold priesthood authority that traces back to the Bible.
We perform sacred ordinances in the House of the Lord.
And we know, without question, that we are loved by our Heavenly Father.
“However late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made… I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love.”
— Jeffrey R. Holland, “However Late You Think You Are”, April 2012 General Conference
