“There is a better way to prepare, because great faith has a short shelf life. We could decide to persist in studying the words of Christ in the scriptures and the teachings of living prophets. This is what I will do. I will go back to the Book of Mormon and drink deeply and often. And then I will be grateful for what the prophet’s challenge and promise did to teach me how to gain greater faith and maintain it.”

Samuel risked it all.
After being kicked out of Zarahemla, he returned to the hard-hearted Nephites, climbed that outer city wall, dodged arrows and stones, and put his life on the line to preach repentance and salvation through Christ.
He prophesied that the Son of God would come to redeem “all those who shall believe on his name.” (Helaman 14:2)
.
Believe on His name.
To “believe on His name” is really to believe on His 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴—and there are over 200 of them throughout the scriptures. Christ’s myriad titles perfectly capture who He is and who He can be in our lives if we’ll only believe.
————————-
When we need an ally and a friend, He is our ADVOCATE WITH THE FATHER.
When we yearn for a constant in an ever-changing world, He is ALPHA AND OMEGA.
When we are spiritually famished and emotionally fatigued, He is the BREAD OF LIFE.
When we are encompassed by darkness and yearn for the light, He is our BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR.
When we just can’t shake the chains of addiction and sin, He is our DELIVERER.
When our faith is not enough, yet we desire to believe, He is the FINISHER OF OUR FAITH.
When we have wandered and can’t find our way back, He is our GOOD SHEPHERD.
When we need hope for a future that only seems bleak, He is the HIGH PRIEST OF GOOD THINGS TO COME.
When we’re consumed by the mists of darkness, He is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
When we grieve, anguish, and cry out, He is the PRINCE OF PEACE.
When we are wounded and seek divine healing, He is our PHYSICIAN.
When we’re ready to be molded into something more, He is the POTTER.
When our souls need reclaiming, He is our REDEEMER.
When the winds of doubt blow us off course—when the waves of trial beat against us—He is our REFUGE FROM THE STORM.
When our world is crumbling, He is our ROCK.
When we need saving, He is our SAVIOR.

“As a prophet reveals the truth it divides the people. The honest in heart heed his words, but the unrighteous either ignore the prophet or fight him. When the prophet points out the sins of the world, the worldly either want to close the mouth of the prophet or else act as if the prophet didn’t exist, rather than repent of their sins. Popularity is never a test of truth. Many a prophet has been killed or cast out. As we come closer to the Lord’s second coming, you can expect that as the people of the world become more wicked, the prophet will be less popular with them”
– President Ezra Taft Benson
Excited to share these two FREE activities with you this week! So a chronological sort of the events as you read the account of #samualthelamanite or cut out the symbols that represent the signs Samuel mentioned, hide them, and then ”LOOK” for the signs! This is a great activity that lends well to a follow up discussion on looking for the signs of our Savior’s second coming 💛

So very much of pure prayer seems to be the process of first discovering, rather than requesting, the will of our Father in heaven and then aligning ourselves therewith. […] When we do conform to His will, God will pour forth special blessings from heaven upon us, as was the case with Nephi, the son of Helaman” (All These Things Shall Give Thee Experience [1979], 93–94). Elder Neal A. Maxwell
The Lord loves effort. Even when our effort feels like it is next to nothing, or all we have left, it is something. I think I’m learning that the Lord not only loves effort, but through the enabling power of our Savior Jesus Christ and His Atonement… that effort can be consecrated and become more than what we ever had to give in the first place. Not only that but the Lord blesses us in our efforts. “When we do conform to His will, God will pour forth special blessings from heaven upon us…” I have felt this. In the tiniest ways, I have felt this.

Loved this excerpt from the #comefollowme manual this week:

Think about evidences that the Lord has given you. For example, maybe you haven’t literally heard the Lord’s voice, but have you felt “a whisper” from the Holy Ghost that “did pierce even to the very soul”? (Helaman 5:30; see also Doctrine and Covenants 88:66). Perhaps you’ve been in darkness, cried unto God for greater faith, and been “filled with that joy which is unspeakable” (Helaman 5:40–47).
What other experiences have strengthened your faith in Christ and His gospel?
Helaman 5:29–33: What experiences have we had with recognizing the voice of God in our lives?
The language in Heleman 5:12 has always really intrigued me. Scriptures like this one can become really relevant by simply noticing a single word. In the case of this scripture that powerful word for me is When.
Do you see it? Did the verse become that much more powerful to you by simply paying attention to that single word?
Notice that the verse doesn’t read, “If the devil shall send forth his mighty winds,” or “If all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you…”. The language instead is when.
Hardships, trials, pain, discomfort, and all-out storms WILL come, no amount of righteous living can prevent them… However, if our foundations are firm, and built upon our Savior Jesus Christ… We will not fall. There is peace in that. There is promise in that. There is POWER in that.

Guys. I don’t even know where to begin.... Except be on the lookout for this fun little DIGITAL project to be added today!
.
🍋Students come up with a One Word Goal for the school year/ first term...
.
🍋Students then create a “quilt” piece of their 1 Word, using figurative language and pictures to illustrate.
.
🍋Students will then upload their piece to a COLLABORATIVE Class “quilt”
.
🍋You can then use this Collaborative Class “Quilt” to create a DIGITAL Bulletin Board for your Virtual Classrooms, OR print it off and assemble in your actual classroom!
.
🍋More details coming soon! Comment below if you have a Virtual classroom you would like to try this out with!
“It is not by chance that you have been reserved to come to earth in this last dispensation of the fulness of times. Your birth at this particular time was foreordained in the eternities. You are to be the royal army of the Lord in the last days. You are “youth of the noble birthright.” (Hymns, 1985, no. 255.) In the spiritual battles you are waging, I see you as today’s sons of Helaman. Remember well the Book of Mormon account of Helaman’s two thousand stripling warriors and how the teachings of their mothers gave them strength and faith. These marvelous mothers taught them to put on the whole armor of God, to place their trust in the Lord, and to doubt not. By so doing, not one of these young men was lost. (See Alma 53:10–23; Alma 56:41–56.)”. -President Ezra Taft Benson
