Revelation Dates: February – June, 1834 Revelation Places: Kirtland, Ohio and Fishing River, Missouri Section 102 - Historical Background: With the rapidly increasing membership of the church, Joseph needed help in administration. A meeting was called consisting of 62 brethren, and Joseph taught about the ancient councils and how they were operated under Moses and Peter, among others. Joseph had received in vision how Peter presided over councils. Joseph laid out the formation of a Church Council (later named High Council) to assist the First Presidency in the administration of the church. This section, rather than a direct revelation like other sections, is the record or minutes of this meeting.  Recap: A High Council will be organized, consisting of 12 High Priests and the First Presidency. Its purpose is to settle disputes that cannot be settled by the Bishop's Council. A quorum of at least 7 must be present to act. The members of the council were chosen and approved. The accused and the accuser will each be represented by half the council, selected by lot. The president will make the final decision but approval will require a majority of councilors to approve that decision. Section 103 - Historical Background: Joseph was deeply concerned for the saints in Jackson County, now that it was learned they had been completely driven from their homes. In Section 101, Joseph learned that at some point he would be required to lead “the strength of mine house” to Zion in order to “redeem” it. Seeking further understanding, comfort and direction, Joseph received this revelation as he petitioned the Lord. Recap: The Lord will pour out his wrath upon the enemies of His church, but only in his own due time. [26 years later, the Civil War ravished Jackson County until nothing was left standing.] A waiting time is required until (1) the wicked are fully ripe in iniquity, and (2) the slothful saints in Zion receive chastisement and repent sufficiently. If they do not repent, the saints will be subject to the kingdoms of the world and thrown down. In due time, Zion will be redeemed. It is decreed by God, for He will raise a powerful leader like unto Moses to accomplish it. This leader will be Joseph Smith. [Note: Because the saints failed to repent, the accomplishment of this decree was delayed, but will still occur in the future by Joseph Smith in his resurrected state, as promised in his patriarchal blessing.]   Joseph is to organize “Zions Camp,” to call up 500 men willing to risk their own lives on a mission of peace and goodwill to restore the fleeing saints to their own lands. If 500 do not heed the Lord's call, 300 will be accepted. If not 300 men, 100 will have to suffice. If at least 100 men cannot be gathered, the relief expedition will be abandoned. Section 104 - Historical Background: As leaders of the church prepared to leave Kirtland for “Zions Camp,” and not knowing if they would survive and return to Kirtland, concern was given over the pressing debts and temporal affairs of the church they were leaving behind. The saints had failed to live the Law of Consecration properly so they were lacking in resources, especially in building the temple. Joseph turned to the Lord for guidance. Recap: The purpose of the United Order is to be a blessing to the church and a benefit for the poor. But some of the saints are unfaithful, resulting in a cursing rather than a blessing. The innocent will be spared, but the guilty cannot escape God's wrath. Leaders are to remove transgressors from the Order. Each saint must be held accountable for their stewardship. The rich are to reach out and assist the poor, so that both may benefit and rejoice. The Lord directs the assignment of properties in the United Order according to faithfulness and usefulness. Because the saints in Zion (Missouri) have transgressed the Order and broken their covenants, their United Order with the saints in Kirtland will be dissolved. The Lord clarifies that all properties are His and the saints are stewards only. There shall be two separate treasuries, one for the sacred funds from the people's tithes for the printing of the scriptures, building of the temple and general works of the church; the other treasury will include proceeds from the properties consecrated to stewards to be used within the needs of the Order. All debts must be paid. The Lord will soften the hearts of their debtors. For this once, the Order is allowed to pledge the properties under stewardship in order to pay off their debts. Section 105 - Historical Background: To answer the Lord's call to rescue Zion, Joseph could only rally 100 men in Kirtland, while other leaders rallied another 100 men from outlying areas, making Zions Camp only 205 men. From this faithful little group, God will later staff his quorums of Apostles and Seventy. Though the group was small, Joseph could wait no longer to proceed. With clothing and provisions, this small group begain their 1,000 mile march to Independence to confront the mobs who greatly outnumbered them. However, they had a pledge from the Missouri Governor that the saints would receive a military escort back to the lands of the homeless saints. At a place called Fishing River, Joseph learned the Governor now refused to honor his pledge. Joseph reaches out to the Lord for directions how they should proceed to redeem Zion.  Recap: Were it not for the transgressions of the church, Zion would have been redeemd already. But the church members have not learned to be obedient, impart of their substance to the poor, and are not united. Therefore, the saints will be chastened and Zion will not be redeemed for now. The leaders are to vigorously teach the saints more perfectly until they are spiritually prepared. God will fight the battles of the saints, but they must first become a righteous people. Those of Zion's Camp who want to stay in Zion may do so, but refrain from boasting of God's revelations. God will soften the hearts of the people, giving the church time to prepare for Zion's redemption. Purchase as much land as possible. Finish the temple in Kirtland and receive endowments there. Those who will redeem Zion will not be called, but will, at that time, be carefully chosen.

THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| Preservation and Prospective Living| Discipleship |Session-27| 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA What if the kindness of God doesn't feel kind at all? Ruth Was the Kindness Naomi Didn't Expect In this gripping episode of the RUTH Bible Study Series, we explore the unsettling beauty of divine kindness—how it often arrives clothed in contradiction, wrapped in sorrow, and yet anchored in eternal purpose. Ruth wasn't just a companion to Naomi; she was God's kindness stitched into the fabric of her bitterness. And that same paradox pulses through our own lives.

What can we learn from the Saints' devastating losses in Jackson County, Missouri and how does that promise of the resurrection transform the story?

In this episode, we explore a powerful question: What is the purpose of consecration? Consecration is more than a religious act — it's about aligning with the holy nature of God. Scripture reminds us that God is holy and calls those who serve Him to walk in the same nature (Exodus 19:23, Isaiah 6:3, Leviticus 11:45, 19:2, 1 Peter 1:15–16). He Himself is the standard, and through His Spirit, He transforms us to reflect that standard — but it begins with dedicating ourselves fully to Him. We'll uncover how consecration sets us apart, cleanses us, and makes us useful vessels in the hands of God. In His house, there are many vessels, but He chooses the holy ones. To truly serve Him, we must walk in the identity Christ has given us, living as the image of God (Genesis 1:27) — because the image ruling us ultimately shapes our behavior. The holiness of God consumes all that is not holy, and consecration is His way of preparing us to stand, serve, and fulfill the purpose for which we were created. Through consecration, He sets us apart from the crowd so we can serve Him well.

Youtube.com/@KayandOluTaiwoWhen we hear “greatness,” we often think of applause, platforms, and promotions. But in Luke 1:15, the angel speaks of John the Baptist: “For he will be great in the sight of the Lord…” John's life teaches us a different definition of greatness—one measured not by likes, followers, or fame, but by faithfulness.✨ Greatness is God's approval, not people's applause.✨ Greatness is focus and consecration, not compromise. ✨ Greatness is Spirit-filled dependence, not self-powered ambition.You may never trend online, but if you live Spirit-filled, consecrated, and obedient—you are already great in God's eyes. That's the only greatness that lasts. We're constantly bombarded with the world's definition of greatness: fame, followers, and applause.But what if God's perspective is radically different? In this powerful message, we dive into the life of John the Baptist (Luke 1:15) to uncover the only greatness that truly matters.John wasn't great because of miracles or fame – he never performed a single one! His greatness came from three profound principles: God's Approval Over People's Applause: Discover why fulfilling your divine assignment, not public recognition, is the ultimate measure. Consecration Brings Focus: Learn how intentional boundaries and discipline, like John abstaining from wine, free you to fully embrace God's mission. Dependence on the Spirit: Understand that true power and ministry flow from the Holy Spirit, not human charisma. You might never trend online, but if you live Spirit-filled, consecrated, and obedient, you are already GREAT in the sight of the Lord. And that's the only greatness that lasts forever.

Working through kinds of prayer, today we consider the prayer of consecration. Some people like Samuel and Isaiah and Paul were consecrated to the Lord. We might even meet some people who inspire us with their consecration to the Lord. Certainly, Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane will be a greatest example of consecration: […] The post The Prayer of Consecration and Surrender appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Pastor Marcus De La Cruz | August 24, 2025| Sunday 10AM | Porterville, CA

God's mercies toward us inspire complete consecration from us.

Mark 10:21 21 Looking at him, Jesus felt a love (high regard, compassion) for him, and He said to him, “You lack one thing: go and sell all your property and give [the money] to the poor, and you will have [abundant] treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me [becoming My disciple, believing and trusting in Me and walking the same path of life that I walk].”  22 But the man was saddened at Jesus' words, and he left grieving, because he owned much property and had many possessions [which he treasured more than his relationship with God].

In this episode, we dive deep into the call to consecration and what it truly means to live set apart for God. Drawing from scriptures like Proverbs 18:1, Acts 6:1–4, 2 Corinthians 6:14–19, and more, we uncover the dangers of compromise and the strength that comes from staying devoted to God. We reflect on lessons from Samson's downfall, Israel's rejection of God in 1 Samuel 8, and the reality that consecration comes with demands, boundaries, and sacrifice. When we leave our consecration, we lose our safety, authority, and uniqueness in Christ—but when we remain steadfast, we walk in true power and protection. This message is a reminder that consecration isn't just about rules—it's about love, devotion, and giving God our absolute best.

The Burn of Consecration is a powerful call to maturity and surrender as God's refining fire removes hindrances and transforms your life.

Are your "worry dolls" bringing you peace or opening doors to the enemy? Are these Guatemalan worry dolls a child's comfort or a gateway to spiritual attack? In today's episode of the Vertical Relationship Show, Melia exposes the dark side and a real experience she encountered in bringing these innocent-looking dolls into her home. Worry dolls are connected to the Maya Princess, Ixpucane, connected to a sun god, and are used as a tool for children to offload anxieties, fears, and nightmares. While their intended purpose is to alleviate worry – children whisper their problems to the dolls and place them under their pillows for help ... a darker side, often overlooked!

What would it be like to have Jesus pray specifically for you? What do you think He would say? In John Chapter 17, Jesus prays personally for His disciples, revealing His heart for those who follow Him. His prayer doesn't begin with a 'laundry list' of demands or requests for God, but rather He talks reflectively with His Father about how things are going with them. As we listen to Jesus pray for His friends, we are also gaining insight into how to pray for those in close relationship with us. Just as Jesus' words carry blessings of unity, joy, protection, truth, and commission, so we can partner with Him in praying the same way.

What happens when God reshapes a life? Bishop Joel Holmes shares profound insights from nearly six decades of ministry on the spiritual transformation process that turns believers into vessels of divine purpose.Drawing from Psalm 51:5, Bishop Holmes illustrates how we're all "shapen in iniquity" at birth, requiring divine intervention to become who God intends. Using the metaphor of wood being bent to create a concert grand piano, he explains how our resistance to change must give way to God's transformative work.The heart of this message explores the critical connection between consecration and spiritual power. Against conventional wisdom suggesting that relaxing standards leads to church growth, Bishop Holmes reveals how his unwavering commitment to holiness—taught with love and brokenness—actually catalyzed extraordinary expansion in his ministry. "When you move off from consecration," he warns, "you lose the cutting anointing that breaks the yoke of sin."Bishop Holmes shares four essential pillars for building God's kingdom: prioritizing prayer (including regular fasting), cultivating genuine love for people, engaging in consistent outreach, and developing Spirit-filled teaching. He culminates with a powerful insight from Numbers 12 about God speaking "mouth to mouth"—describing those transcendent moments when divine truth flows directly through us, bypassing our intellectual filters.Whether you're facing resistance to change, struggling with worldly influences, or seeking greater spiritual power, this episode provides transformative truths that will reshape your understanding of holiness, consecration, and divine purpose. Listen now and discover how embracing the "foolishness" of the gospel unlocks its supernatural power.We love to hear from our listeners!

Consecration is more than a word—it's a call to be set apart for God's purpose. To consecrate is to dedicate your life fully to the Lord, laying down your own desires and choosing obedience over compromise. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to live consecrated: the proof of consecration in surrender, the connection between obedience and love, and how God's promotions are tied to instructions. Through scriptures like Matthew 17, John 14, and 1 Samuel 15, we uncover the demands, tests, and power of consecration. True consecration isn't passive—it's a daily decision to deny self, live differently from the world, and glorify God in all we do.

Eucharistic processions have been a tradition in the Catholic Church for countless years. Recently, the Church in the United States celebrated the National Eucharistic Congress, which culminated four national Eucharistic processions and pilgrimage routes. This blogcast explores “Pilgrimage and the Eucharist as Food for the Journey" from the Ad Infinitum blog, written and read by Fatima Monterrubio Cruess.As you may know, we are in the final phase of the National Eucharistic Revival, “a three-year initiative sponsored by the Bishops of the United States to inspire and prepare the People of God to be formed, healed, converted, united, and sent out to a hurting and hungry world through a renewed encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist – the source and summit of our Catholic faith”. This initiative is a response to the Holy Father's call for a “pastoral and missionary conversion which cannot leave things as they presently are” so that the Church in the United States might be “permanently in a state of mission” (Evangelii Gaudium, 25). This final phase known as the “Year of Mission” is a response to the preceding stages of diocesan and parish revival as well as the National Eucharistic Congress that was held July 17-21, 2024.One beautiful expression of this missionary dimension of the Eucharistic Revival was the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage that took place leading up to the National Eucharistic Congress. The first of its kind, and one of the largest Eucharistic processions in history, consisted of four routes beginning at the northern, southern, eastern, and western parts of the United States. The routes formed the shape of a cross as pilgrims journeyed with the Blessed Sacrament across the whole country, blessing over 6,000 miles of our nation.Participants in the pilgrimage attended Mass every day of their journey and had regular evenings of reflection and adoration. After traveling for about two months, all four branches of the Pilgrimage met in Indianapolis for the National Eucharistic Congress. I was privileged to join a moment of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage along the northern route, known as the Marian route, which began at the headwaters of the Mississippi and wound its way through the midwestern United States.As the pilgrimage passed through Notre Dame, IN over the course of a weekend, I was able to attend a couple of the specially planned events. One was a musical entitled “Behold God's Love: A Eucharistic Musical,” which drew inspiration from mystery plays performed on the feast of Corpus Christi (the Body and Blood of Christ) in the Middle Ages. These plays presented moments from salvation history. The other special event was Sunday Mass in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart followed by a procession around the university's campus, culminating in Benediction offered from the steps of the Main Building.It was such a gift to join pilgrims, some of whom had been part of the route from the beginning, in a tangible manifestation of our life as “the pilgrim Church on earth”, the people of God on their way to their heavenly homeland. It provided an opportunity to reflect in a special way on one of the many names with which we refer to the Eucharist, one that evokes a certain aspect of the “inexhaustible richness of this sacrament” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1328). Viaticum, a Latin word that means provision for the journey, is a particularly fitting name to contemplate in the context of this pilgrimage, as the Eucharist is the spiritual food which sustains and nourishes us. Certainly, it was the source of sustenance for those making the cross-country journey over the course of several weeks. Yet this pilgrimage (and all pilgrimages) was undertaken to call to mind our common human condition as those marching onward “ ‘following the narrow way of the cross,' toward the heavenly banquet” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1344), when we can all be seated at the table of the Kingdom of God. ​The Eucharist as viaticum gives us the graces we need for each day as we advance along our earthly pilgrimage. Each step of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage reminds us that our entire lives and every place in which we find ourselves can be holy, consecrated by the presence of our Lord. When we receive the Lord in the Eucharist and accept the call to be sent forth on mission to every part of the world, we experience “a foretaste of that heavenly liturgy which is celebrated in the Holy City of Jerusalem toward which we journey as pilgrims, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God, Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1090). The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, whether or not you were able to join it, shows a visible bond of communion that assures “the unity of the pilgrim Church” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 815) and reminds us that we do not  have to journey to far-off holy places to go on mission. Every place our feet touch can be holy ground if, as we tread it, we seek to draw ever closer to our Eucharistic Lord, who longs to make himself present to us and to all, not only in the Mass, but in every moment. Author:Fatima Monterrubio Cruess is the Resource Coordinator for the Catholic Apostolate Center.

In this episode, we dive deep into the call for true alignment with God. Simply calling yourself a child of God or acknowledging His existence is not enough—alignment requires consecration, responsibility, and purpose. We explore the dangers of self-centeredness, the necessity of taking up our cross daily (Luke 9:23), and how our service to God is reflected in the way we treat others. From the consecration of forgiveness to the humility described in Philippians 2:1–7, this message reminds us that liberty and prosperity come with responsibility. The closer we align with God, the more His love flows through us—and the more He reveals Himself to others through our lives.

Revelation Dates: February 27 – March 15, 1833 Revelation Places: Kirtland, Ohio Section 89 - Historical Background: In a small upstairs room in Bishop Whitney's store, around 22 Elders gathered tightly together to attend the School of the Prophets. The purpose of the school was to learn the mysteries of God and sacred truths in preparation for their ministry. During the meeting, the Elders would light their pipes and smoke. When the pipe tobacco was exhausted, they would bite off a large piece of chewing tobacco. This was a common practice for the day. They had not been taught their bodies are considered sanctified tabernacles. The use of liquor, tobacco, coffee, tea and other stimulants were commonly accepted. Often, when Joseph entered the room to give instruction, he would find himself in a cloud of tobacco smoke. This, along with the complaints from Emma who cleaned the spittoons and the disgusting mess on the floor, made the Prophet think upon the matter. He inquired of the Lord and received this revelation, which went far beyond tobacco, known as the Word of Wisdom. Recap: For the health and general welfare of all the saints, the Lord reveals a Word of Wisdom. In consequence of evil and conspiring men, warns them to abstain from wine, strong drinks, tobacco, and hot drinks (later defined as coffee and tea). Rather, every herb and fruit should be used in the season. Meat is ordained for the use of man, sparingly. Grains is also ordained for the use of man and beast. Obedience to this warning promises health and wisdom. Section 90 - Historical Background: At this critical time of the restoration, the Lord knew his church was going into a perilous phase in its development. Over the next two years, the Lord would appoint relatively  inexperienced men to lead the church, including the First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the Seventy, Stake high councils, Stake Presidents and Bishops. These high offices and noble titles in the church would be a supreme test which many would fail. The Lord demonstrated a great deal of love and patience with these leaders. This section formally organizes the First Presidency who hold the keys of the Priesthood. It was shortly after this revelation was given that Joseph ordained Sidney Rigdon and Frederick G. Williams as Counselors in the First Presidency. Recap: The keys of the Priesthood are given to the First Presidency, consisting of Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon and Frederick G. Williams. They are to receive revelations for the entire church. The First Presidency are to set in order the church, learn and study, and continue in these offices for the remainder of their lives. There should be no pride, slothfulness or uncleanliness. Section 91 - Historical Background: At this time, Joseph was revising the Old Testament. He came across the books referred to as the “Apocrypha,” meaning “hidden,” and didn't know if they were worthy of including in the bible or were merely an appendix to the bible. He took this inquiry to the Lord. Recap: In the Apocrypha, there are many aspects which are true, but many things are not true. Therefore, they are not trustworthy to be included with the bible, nor should they be translated or revised. The Apocrypha should not be intermingled with the revelations from God. Any person led by the Spirit can benefit from the Apocrypha, but without the Spirit there is no benefit.  Section 92 - Historical Background: This revelation relates to an earlier revelation in section 82, relating to the Law of Consecration. Now the Lord wants Frederick G. Williams added to the order. Recap: As a new counselor in the First Presidency, the Lord commands Frederick G. Williams to be included in the United Order, known as the Law of Consecration.

Patrick weaves wit, practical insight, and occasional surprises into the hour, all while rooting every conversation in Catholic teaching. Jimmy (email) – How powerful is the St Michael Chaplet? (00:35) Michael – Our pastor says it is not a big deal to add a song after the Consecration (09:02) Joe - Can our guardian angel help us make connections with other people? (13:58) Chris - Priest during homily said women should be priests and that Jesus went outside of social norms and we should do that too. What do you think? (21:07) Lisa - I am not trained to teach the faith, but I do, and I use a Protestant Bible. Did I sin by doing this? (28:23) Steven - I was raised a Catholic but consider myself a Christian. I am more into focusing on Jesus. I believe that the Catholic Church shouldn't focus on putting Saints above other people. (34:07)

SummaryIn this stirring message from Wayman Wednesday, Pastor Wayman Mitchell calls believers to a life of radical commitment, sacrifice, and sanctification. Using Acts 21 as his primary text, Pastor Mitchell challenges Christians to remove all boundaries in serving God—whether in ministry, outreach, holiness, or personal sacrifice.With vivid illustrations from military service, missionary work, and scripture, he confronts the modern church's comfort-driven mindset and calls for a generation willing to say, “Whatever it takes” to fulfill the will of God.Key Scriptures:Acts 21:10–14, 261 Timothy 1:12Jonah 1:1–32 Corinthians 4:5, 12:15Nehemiah 4:13–151 Thessalonians 4:3–4Titus 2:11–12Chapters00:00 – Introduction: Wayman Wednesday on Taking the Land Podcast01:36 – A Conference Filled with God's Presence03:58 – The World's Mentality: No Longer Worth Fighting For04:53 – The Church's Need for Paul's Spirit07:10 – Commitment Over Personal Preference08:35 – Choosing God Over Secular Priorities10:06 – The Will of the Lord Be Done12:03 – Lessons from Military Commitment13:47 – Guerrilla Teams & Outreach Mindset15:53 – Understanding We Are at War17:19 – No Excuses: Whatever It Takes18:51 – Sacrifice: A Lost Word in Today's Church20:54 – Paul's Willingness to Suffer for Christ23:01 – Examples of “Whatever It Takes” in Scripture24:43 – Sanctification in a Prophetic Generation26:20 – Holiness vs. Religious Appearance27:42 – The Call to Purification and Set-Apart Living29:52 – Possessing Your Vessel in Honor31:08 – Avoiding Sinful Entertainment31:36 – Holiness is for Every Believer33:39 – Sanctifying the Lord in Your Heart34:28 – Removing Boundaries in Serving God35:43 – Whatever It Takes: Even in Giving36:54 – Consecration in Attitudes and Relationships38:29 – Reverence in Prayer39:34 – Biblical Responses to God's Presence40:51 – Isaiah's Vision of the Lord41:13 – Jacob's Encounter with God42:07 – Closing Challenge: Whatever It TakesShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!
