In part 14 of this continuing series, Phil teaches that the measure of faith is shown by what it accomplishes, and that faith, hope, and desire work together in a divine cycle. Drawing from Moroni 7 and Moroni 10, Phil explains that belief and trust in Jesus Christ generate hope, and hope gives rise to stronger faith. A sincere heart and real intent, meaning we are willing to accept whatever answer the Lord gives will create the desire that leads to the exercise of powerful faith. Through this process, and by the power of the Holy Ghost, Father reveals truth and corrects our conclusions as we willingly align our will with Him. Phil teaches that hope through the Atonement is only possible when we offer the sacrifice of a broken heart and contrite spirit (Moroni 7). Examples from scripture show how humility transforms weakness into strength (Ether 12), including Enoch, who received the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost, overcame his weakness in speech, and exercised a greater faith seeing through the veil with an “eye of faith” (Moses 6; Ether 12:19). Phil also explains the pattern of receiving higher priesthood authority, noting the First and Second Orders of the Melchizedek Priesthood bestowed upon prophets such as Enoch, Moses, and Nephi by the voice of the Father (Moses 6, Moses 1 & 3 Nephi 11). Phil highlights that throughout scripture; Helaman 5, Alma 14, 3 Nephi 19, Acts 2, disciples of Christ exercise exceedingly strong faith in Jesus Christ, resulting in the reception of the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost, miracles, and other transformative spiritual experiences. He reminds us that revelation is never casual; it requires obedience, sacrifice, and preparation. Miracles have not ceased (Moroni 7:36–39), and the same power held by ancient servants of God is available to all who exercise great faith, hope, and trust in Christ. Phil concludes that the Lord continues to call “other servants” (JST Matthew 21; D&C 101, 112, 103), and that Joseph Smith stands as the prophesied servant raised up in the last days. The path remains the same: to seek Christ by revelation, exercise mighty faith, receive the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost, and press forward keeping all of Christ's commandments until we enter the rest of the Lord.

In part 10 of this continuing series, Phil explains what it means for Nephi to have charity for both Jew and Gentile (2 Nephi 33). He teaches that the only way to be redeemed in the fullest sense of the word is to become the family of Christ (3 Nephi 9). Phil also discusses Nephi's end-time prophecy that much of the gospel will be brought forward to the Gentiles in a form that is pure and precious (1 Nephi 13). He reviews the teaching that “men are, that they might have joy,” meaning to receive the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost (2 Nephi 2), and he notes that Lehi is “filled with exceedingly great joy” as a result of partaking of the fruit of the tree (1 Nephi 8). Phil further reviews Christ's example of keeping all the Father's commandments (2 Nephi 31) and emphasizes that we must diligently seek Christ (1 Nephi 10; Alma 32). He explains that Lehi heard the words of the prophets, cried out unto God, and received the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost (1 Nephi 1). Nephi likewise received the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost (1 Nephi 2), later receiving the Second Comforter and a vision spanning from Christ's birth to the end of the world (1 Nephi 11). Nephi acknowledges his father's baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost and identifies this as a pattern established from the beginning (1 Nephi 10). Adam enters into the new and everlasting covenant, receiving baptism by water, fire, and the Holy Ghost (Moses 6). Jesus Christ is symbolized by the fountain of living water and the tree in Lehi's vision and represents the love of God (1 Nephi 11). God promises that all who diligently seek Christ will receive the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost and eternal life (2 Nephi 31). Come and learn the Doctrine of Christ. TheRedemptionOfZion.org

In part 9 of this continuing series, Phil covers the faith of a mustard seed (Luke 17), what it means to believe in the Son of God (Ether 12), how to enter into Christ's Millennial reign (2 Nephi 2), and becoming an adopted and then birthright son or daughter of Christ (3 Nephi 11). Phil reads about deliverance from bondage and qualifying for the end-time exodus (D&C 103), the coming forth of the testimony of the laborers in the last kingdom, followed by the testimony of prophesied destruction (D&C 88), the coming forth of “other books” of scripture to the convincing of the Gentiles, remnant of Jacob, and the Jews of the fullness of the gospel (JST Genesis 50 and 1 Nephi 13). Phil closes with defining the doctrine of Christ (2 Nephi 31), teaching that to be carnally minded is death and to be spiritually minded is life eternal, that Christ is the keeper of the gate and employeth no servant there (2 Nephi 9), and urging listeners to hearken to Christ, who is the advocate with the Father (D&C 45).Come and learn the Doctrine of Christ.
