Cuando Parley P. Pratt, Oliver Cowdery, Ziba Peterson y Peter Whitmer Jr. partieron de Kirtland para continuar predicando el Evangelio, dejaron a más de 100 nuevos miembros de la Iglesia que tenían bastante entusiasmo, pero poca experiencia o guía. No tenían manuales de instrucción, reuniones de capacitación de líderes ni transmisiones de la conferencia general; de hecho, ni siquiera tenían suficientes ejemplares del Libro de Mormón para compartir. Muchos de esos nuevos creyentes se habían sentido atraídos al Evangelio restaurado por la promesa de maravillosas manifestaciones del Espíritu, especialmente las descritas en el Nuevo Testamento (véase, por ejemplo, 1 Corintios 12:1–11). Sin embargo, a muchos les resultaba difícil reconocer las verdaderas manifestaciones del Espíritu. Al ver la confusión, José Smith pidió ayuda en oración. La respuesta del Señor es valiosa en la actualidad, cuando las personas a menudo niegan o hacen caso omiso de las cosas del Espíritu. Él reafirmó que las manifestaciones espirituales son reales y también aclaró lo que son: dones de un amoroso Padre Celestial, “que se dan para el beneficio de los que [l]e aman y guardan todos [Su]s mandamientos, y de los que procuran hacerlo” (Doctrina y Convenios 46:9).

Revelation Dates: March 8, 1831 Revelation Places: Kirtland, Ohio Section 46 - Historical Background: New converts were now pouring into Kirtland, Ohio. Many had preconceived ideas from their former churches how weekly services should be held. Joseph inquires of the Lord how He wants it done.  Recap: The elders attending the meeting should preside and conduct the meeting according to the Spirit. All people should be welcomed to attend, but only worthy members should partake of the sacrament. All members should seek earnestly the best gifts of the Spirit. Some of these gifts are to witness of Jesus Christ, having a believing heart, strong leadership, discernment, wisdom, knowledge, healing, faith, prophecy, and tongues. All gifts come from God for the benefit of mankind.  Section 47 - Historical Background: Up to this time, Oliver Cowdery had been acting as Church historian. Joseph Smith called John Whitmer to replace Oliver and John agreed to do it, but only if Joseph Smith received divine guidance from the Lord to call him to the work.  Recap: John Whitmer is called to be the recorder of church history and additionally to replace Sidney Rigdon to transcribe revelations and future revisions of the scriptures.  Section 48 - Historical Background: A large number of new converts were about to arrive from New York. A member named Leman Copley made a covenant allowing the arriving saints to occupy a piece of his land. Copley apostatized and broke his covenant, forcing these weary saints off of his land. Other saints were occupying a piece of land owned by Isaac Morley. Joseph inquired of the Lord how to acquire lands for the many incoming Saints.  Recap: Temporary quarters are necessary for the incoming Saints until the church moves west. If necessary, purchase or lease some land, but conserve funds for purchasing land in Zion. The Elders will be sent to Missouri and it will be revealed to them where Zion will be established and these lands should be purchased, laying the foundation for the City of Zion. The bishop will have the responsibility to assign properties to each family as their needs require.

Clase Especial de Pascua en Jerusalén: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP9UeZtr40U&t=995sEl 3 de abril de 1836 era domingo de Pascua de Resurrección. Después de ayudar a administrar la Santa Cena a los santos que estaban en el recién dedicado Templo de Kirtland, José Smith y Oliver Cowdery encontraron un lugar tranquilo detrás de un velo e inclinaron la cabeza para ofrecer una oración en silencio. Entonces, en ese día sagrado en que los cristianos en todas partes estaban conmemorando la Resurrección de Jesucristo, el Salvador resucitado mismo se apareció en Su templo, declarando: “Soy el que vive, soy el que fue muerto” (Doctrina y Convenios 110:4).¿Qué significa cuando se dice que Jesucristo es “el que vive”? No solo quiere decir que se levantó de la tumba y que se apareció a Sus discípulos en Galilea. Significa que Él vive ahora; que habla por medio de profetas actualmente; que dirige Su Iglesia hoy en día; que sana las almas heridas y los corazones quebrantados en la actualidad. De modo que podemos hacernos eco de las palabras del potente testimonio de José Smith: “Después de los muchos testimonios que se han dado de él, este es el testimonio […], que nosotros damos de él: ¡Que vive!” (Doctrina y Convenios 76:22). Podemos escuchar Su voz en estas revelaciones, ser testigos de Su mano en nuestras vidas y “gozoso[s], cant[ar] con fervor: Yo sé que vive mi Señor”.

Send us a textFrom Come Follow Me:        "April 3, 1836, was Easter Sunday. After helping administer the sacrament to Saints in the newly dedicated Kirtland Temple, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery found a quiet place behind a veil and bowed in silent prayer. Then, on this sacred day when Christians everywhere were commemorating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the risen Savior Himself appeared in His temple, declaring, “I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain” (Doctrine and Covenants 110:4).        What does it mean to say that Jesus Christ is “he who liveth”? It doesn't just mean that He rose from the tomb and appeared to His disciples in Galilee. It means that He lives today. He speaks through prophets today. He leads His Church today. He heals wounded souls and broken hearts today. So we can echo the words of Joseph Smith's powerful testimony: “After the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony … which we give of him: That he lives!” (Doctrine and Covenants 76:22). We can hear His voice in these revelations, witness His hand in our lives, and feel “the joy this sentence gives: ‘I know that my Redeemer lives!'” (Hymns, no. 136)."Support the Show!  Show some Love!www.patreon.com/SaintsintheSouth(The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng)#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofJesusChrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #christiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentSupport the show

Section 30 - Historical Background: Following the second conference of the Church at Fayette, the Lord provided revelations to several new converts who were anxious to know what God would have them do. This revelation was to three of the Whitmer brothers, David, Peter Jr. and John. Recap: David Whitmer, one of the three witnesses, is admonished for fearing man more than God and for not giving heed to the Spirit. Therefore he is to remain home and ponder upon his situation. Peter is called on a mission to the Lamanites with Oliver Cowdery, who will be the senior in the companionship. John was called on a mission to declare the gospel within the area and was counselled not to fear man. Section 31 - Historical Background: Thomas B Marsh was a recent convert from Massachusetts who was baptized in August 1830 by David Whitmer. In September he attended the conference in Fayette and received this personal revelation from Joseph. Recap: The Lord is pleased with the dedication of Thomas B Marsh and he is promised blessings for him and his family. He is called on a mission to people whose hearts will be opened by God. Branches of the church will be established by Thomas. He is not assigned to a specific area but is to follow the Spirit where to go and preach. Section 32 - Historical Background: Parley P Pratt was a former minister who read the Book of Mormon and knew it was true. He was baptized in early September, 1830. He immediately went to his brother Orson who immediately accepted the gospel. Within a month Parley received this revelation along with Ziba Peterson. Recap: Parley was called on a mission to the Lamanites along with Oliver Cowdery and Peter Whitmer. Ziba Peterson was also called to join them. They are reassured that God will be in their midst. Section 33 - Historical Background: Ezra Thayre and Northrop Sweet were mediocre members and lacked in zeal, yet asked for this revelation pertaining to their purpose. Recap: Ezra and Northrop are called to preach. The Lord encourages them go forth and open their mouths. Faith, repentance, baptism by water and fire constitutes the rock of the restored church. They are to use the Book of Mormon as their manual. Section 34 - Historical Background: At the age of 19, Orson Pratt was introduced to the gospel by his brother Parley. He immediately embraced the doctrine and was baptized. He traveled to Fayette to meet the Prophet Joseph and received this revelation. Recap: Christ is a light which the wicked don't comprehend. Orson is called to preach to the wicked before Christ comes again, which will be quickly. Section 35 - Historical Background: Sidney Rigdon was a Baptist minister who became discouraged and moved to the Campbellite church. He was introduced to the Book of Mormon and after 2 weeks was baptized. After meeting Joseph he received this personal revelation, including the commandment to be Joseph's scribe. As a result of Sidney's fulfillment of this revelation, we have much of the recorded Doctrine and Covenants. Recap: Sidney Rigdon, like John the Baptist, has prepared the way for the Lord. God calls upon the weak and unlearned to respond to His call. The Lord testifies to Sidney of the prophetic calling of Joseph. Sidney is to watch over Joseph and support him. He is commanded to be Joseph's scribe and forsake him not. Section 36 - Historical Background: Edward Partridge arrived in Fayette with Sidney Rigdon and wanted to meet Joseph to decide for himself if he was a prophet. When Sidney introduced him the spirit immediately confirmed to Edward that Joseph was indeed a prophet of God. Edward desired immediate baptism but Joseph needed rest and baptized him the following day. Sidney asked Joseph for the Lord's guidance and the following revelation was given for Edward (see Section 35 for Sidney's revelation). Recap: Sidney Rigdon is instructed to lay hands upon Edward and confirm him a member and give him the gift of the Holy Ghost. Edward is then called to preach the Gospel, as are all those who desire to be sent forth with a singleness of heart.

Send us a textFrom Come Follow Me:        "Revelation was still a relatively new concept for the Saints as the Restoration continued to unfold. Early Church members knew that the Prophet Joseph Smith could receive revelation for the Church. But could others? Questions like this became critical when Hiram Page, one of the Eight Witnesses of the gold plates, believed he had received revelations for the Church. Many faithful Saints believed that these revelations were from God. The Lord responded by teaching that in His Church “all things must be done in order” (Doctrine and Covenants 28:13). This meant having only one person “appointed to receive commandments and revelations” for the entire Church (Doctrine and Covenants 28:2). Others, however, could receive personal revelation for their part in the Lord's work. In fact, the Lord's words to Oliver Cowdery are a reminder to all of us: “It shall be given thee … what thou shalt do” (Doctrine and Covenants 28:15)."Support the show! (Get exclusive content and cool swag!

Section 27 - Historical Background: It had been four months since the organization of the church and the saints had been partaking of the sacrament using bread and wine. After the baptism of Emma Smith along with others, a meeting was held for the confirmation to take place followed by the partaking of the sacrament. However, there was no wine available for the sacrament so Joseph set out to obtain some. He had not gone far when he was met by a Heavenly messenger who gave him this revelation directly from the Savior.    Recap: The emblems used in the Lord's sacrament can be something other than bread and wine as long as they are partaken with an eye single to the glory of God and done in remembrance of the body and blood of Christ.  Section 28 - Historical Background: August of 1830 was a challenging time for both Joseph and Emma. The lies and persecution toward Joseph in Harmony reached the heart of Emma's father who now refused any further refuge for Joseph and Emma. Harsh persecution forced Joseph and Emma to flee Harmony and move into the residence of the Whitmer's home in Fayette. No sooner had they arrived when they learned that Hyrum Page, one of the eight witnesses, had claimed to be receiving revelations through a certain stone. Some members, including Oliver Cowdery, had been deceived by these claims. Joseph inquired of the Lord and received this revelation, directed to the deceived Oliver Cowdery.  Recap: The Lord declares that only His appointed prophet has the keys to receive revelation for His church, for all things must be done in order. He commands Oliver Cowdery to remedy the deceit which has spread due to the stone used by Hiram Page, and to counsel with Hiram privately. Once this Satanic deceit has been settled, Oliver is to go on a mission to the Lamanites

It also speaks about the roles of various heavenly messengers and apostles, such as Peter, James, and John, and introduces the metaphor of putting on the "whole armor of God" for spiritual protection. Section 28 addresses church governance and prophetic authority, highlighting that Joseph Smith is the authoritative voice for receiving revelations for the church, while Oliver Cowdery is counseled to follow him, and Hiram Page is corrected for claiming revelation through a seer stone. It also unveils the intended preaching mission to the Lamanites and hints at the future establishment of Zion near their borders.SPARK 1: EN ROUTE REVELATION================OBJECT LESSON: “I Will Gather Together in One All Things”: Ordered Card TrickSPARK 2: STRENGTH TO STAND===================================OBJECT LESSON: “Take upon You My Whole Armor”: Armor of God GameEtsy Printable Link: [COMING SOON]SPARK 3: STONE OF STUMBLING=============================OBJECT LESSON: “All Things Must Be Done in Order”: March in Place ChallengeCHAPTERS=========00:00:14 INTRO00:03:20 QUICK GLANCE00:07:17 SPARK 1 INSIGHTS00:16:54 SPARK 1 OBJECT LESSON00:21:07 SPARK 1 QUESTIONS00:23:42 SPARK 2 INSIGHTS00:33:38 SPARK 2 OBJECT LESSON00:38:12 SPARK 2 QUESTIONS00:40:24 SPARK 3 INSIGHTS00:50:00 SPARK 3 OBJECT LESSON00:54:37 SPARK 3 QUESTIONS00:56:187 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comETSY: https://www.etsy.com/shop/meckmomINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Section 23 - Historical Background: Shortly after the organization of the church, probably between April 6 to 11, 1830, Joseph was approached by five faithful men desiring to know their respective duties in the new church. These five individuals included Joseph's father, Joseph Smith Sr, two brothers, Hyrum and Samuel Smith, Oliver Cowdery and Joseph Knight, Sr. Joseph inquired of the Lord and received this revelation. Recap: Oliver Cowdery was addressed first and warned against pride; urged to witness to others the truth; Hyrum was called to strengthen the church; Samuel was to work within the church for strengthening the members but not yet to preach outside the church; Joseph Knight Sr was also called to serve in the Kingdom forever and pray vocally and encouraged to join the church and take up his cross. Section 24 - Historical Background: Immediately following the organization of the church, persecution came quickly and became intense. Joseph was harassed with arrests and had to evade mobs for safety. Joseph had begun to receive revelations concerning the book of Genesis which is recorded in the Pearl of Great Price, book of Moses. During these times of persecution and revelation, Joseph received the following revelation. Recap: Joseph is encouraged to magnify his office and to be patient in his afflictions; he is to seek safety among the members of the church; Oliver Cowdery is to be diligent in declaring the gospel, thinking nothing of himself, and he will receive strength. Section 25 - Historical Background: The persecutions spewing against her husband Joseph had been a great trial for Emma Smith. Her uncle was a minister responsible for much of the persecution against Joseph, especially during the translation of the plates. This persecution drove Joseph and Emma from Harmony to Fayette, NY. Arrested and nearly mobbed several times, Joseph had to constantly flee. During this time, Emma had been faithful and supportive despite trials and hardships. Never had Emma seen the Gold Plates yet she didn't complain. Now, however, Mary Whitmore had the privilege of seeing the plates. Feeling slighted, the Lord gave Emma this strengthening and comforting revelation calling Emma an “elect lady.” Recap: Emma is forgiven for her sins and is called an elect lady; she is to be Joseph's scribe and to compile a hymnbook for the members. All members are called to beware of pride and to keep the commandments. Section 26 - Historical Background: During the weeks since the publication of the Book of Mormon, Samuel Smith had been diligently trying to get people to buy the sacred book. Since there was nothing but hostility around Palmyra, he went 15 miles to the town of Mendon. Finally he returned home with all but 2 of the original books. He gave one of the books to a widow and the other went to a respected minister John Green. Reverend Green read the book, believed it and eagerly passed it on to Phineas Young and then to Brigham Young and Heber C Kimball, all reading and finding belief and conversion. This resulted in the uniting of converts and a strong branch of the church near Mendon. Meanwhile, Joseph, Oliver and John Whitmer were in Harmony wondering what they could do to exert themselves, and the following short revelation was given. Recap: The Lord tells Joseph, Oliver and John Whitmer to get involved in 4 things, namely the fervent study of the scriptures, the organization of the branch in Colesville, perform the essential work on their farmland and then to prepare for the next church conference. The importance of common consent is given.

Abstract: Two recent reviews of By Means of the Urim & Thummim: Restoring Translation to the Restoration by Jeff Lindsay and Brant Gardner seriously misrepresent the book's argument.

Section 20 - Historical Background: Following the first vision to the young boy Joseph Smith, God gradually proceeded to work towards the establishment of his church. The angel Moroni was sent to Joseph, then to the hidden gold plates to be translated and published as the Book of Mormon; the Aaronic Priesthood was restored followed by the Melchizedek priesthood. This section lays the foundation for the setting up of the governing laws of the Kingdom of God in these latter days. Recap: The precise day is given when the organization of the church is to occur; the names of the first 2 elders are announced; duties of the members of the church and of the quorums of the priesthood; specific wording of the baptismal and sacrament prayers are given. Section 21 - Historical Background: In fulfillment of God's commandment (see section 20), on April 6, 1830, the leaders of the church met together at the home of Peter Whitmer Sr to organize and establish the church in accordance to the laws of the nation. Six men were required to sign the corporate papers to give the church official status in the state of New York. The log cabin was crowded with families and friends who all raised their hands in approval of Joseph Smith as the first Elder of the Church and Oliver Cowdery as the second, and both as presiding officers. After these formalities were completed and the papers signed, the people traveled 6 miles to Seneca Lake. Those who desired to become members of the church were baptized. After returning to the Whitmer home in Fayette, this revelation was received. Recap: Records need to be maintained in the church; Joseph Smith will be called a seer, translator, prophet, apostle and elder of the church. Members of the church should look to the prophet for direction as if given by the Lord Himself; Oliver Cowdery to serve under Joseph to preach the gospel to the world. Section 22 - Historical Background: Previous to the official organization of the church, people had been baptized for the remission of sins. Now it was required to be baptized again, this time as members of God's church. Some people objected to needing baptism again. To resolve the confusion, Joseph received this revelation. Recap: All unauthorized covenants, including baptism, are null and void and “availeth him nothing” but must be done as authorized by God. The very reason for the restoration of the Gospel was to replace the “dead works” and unauthorized and obsolete ordinances of the past.

Section 19 - Historical Background: After the completion of the translation of the gold plates, Joseph returned to Palmyra to hire a publisher to print the manuscript, but was rejected by publishers in both Palmyra and Rochester. However, in August, 1829, Martin Harris was able to convince Grandin to publish the book but only after Martin securred the printing with one of his farms. Joseph instructed Oliver Cowdery to make 2 copies of the manuscript, one to hold under security and the other to be presented to the publisher. Oliver gradually brought only 26 pages each day for the printer to typeset. Meanwhile, Joseph returned to Harmony to be with Emma. However, in the midst of the printing process in Palmyra, everything came to a sudden stop when Grandin became frightened. He discovered the people of Palmyra had made a pact among themselves to boycott purchasing the book altogether. Without sales, Grandin would not get paid. Under these dire circumstances, Hyrum pleaded with Joseph to return to Palmyra and seek direction from the Lord. This revelation is the result, directed most particularly to Martin Harris. Recap: Every person must repent or suffer, which suffering is endless. The Lord then explains the meaning of “endless suffering” and “eternal punishment.” He then describes how terrible the suffering will be unless they repent, in which case they need not suffer at all because Christ has already suffered for the repentant. The Lord then directs Martin Harris to teach repentance and not the deeper doctrines as of yet; do not covet, pray vocally and remain humble. He then directs Martin to pay the printer's debt of $3,000 so the Book of Mormon can be published, and finally to rejoice and sing Hosanna, for the Lord has come!

Talent, education, wealth, and physical appearance can all affect how we evaluate each other—and ourselves. But in God's eyes, our worth is a much simpler matter, and it is stated clearly in Doctrine and Covenants 18: “Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God” (verse 10). This simple truth explains so much of what God does and why He does it. Why did He instruct Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery to establish the Church of Jesus Christ in our day? (see verses 1–5). Because the worth of souls is great. Why does He “command all men everywhere to repent” and send Apostles to preach repentance? (verse 9). Because the worth of souls is great. And why did Jesus Christ suffer “death in the flesh” and “the pain of all men”? (verse 11). Because the worth of souls is great. If even one of these souls chooses to accept the Savior's gift, He rejoices, for “great is his joy in the soul that repenteth” (verse 13)."Support the show!ww.patreon.com/SaintsintheSouthGospel Topics Essay on theosis:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics-essays/becoming-like-god?lang=engThoughtful Faith episode referenced in this conversation:https://youtu.be/M-8Bnb32nIg?si=LXLWe8UU95tOk-X-(The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng)#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofJesusChrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #christiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentSupport the show

We'll talk about the counsel given to Oliver Cowdery that he needed to rely on the things he knew to be true, as he went forward to establish the Lord's church. We'll discuss this same concept in our own lives, and how sometimes we do not act on the things we know to be true, because of fear and anxiety.

Section 18 - Historical Setting: Having witnessed the Gold Plates and the angel Moroni, Oliver Cowdery and David Whitmer were anxious to establish and build the kingdom of God. The Lord gives some preparatory direction, but the fulness of the gospel contained in the Book of Mormon had not yet been published. It will be 9 months before another revelation is received, during which time the primary focus is to get the Lord's scriptures published for study. Recap: The worth of souls is great. Oliver and David are instructed to preach repentance as the Lord lays the groundwork for the restoration of the Gospel. They are given an assignment to seek out the twelve apostles in preparation for the organization of the Lord's church. All the while, their very salvation is dependent on remaining faithful and keeping God's commandments.

Hay muchas maneras diferentes de intentar medir el valor de una persona. El talento, la educación, la riqueza y la apariencia física pueden influir en la evaluación que hacemos de los demás y de nosotros mismos; pero a los ojos de Dios, nuestro valor es una cuestión mucho más simple, y se afirma claramente en Doctrina y Convenios 18: “Recordad que el valor de las almas es grande a la vista de Dios” (versículo 10). Esta simple verdad explica mucho de lo que Dios hace y por qué lo hace. ¿Por qué mandó a José Smith y a Oliver Cowdery que establecieran la Iglesia de Jesucristo en nuestros días? (Véanse los versículos 1–5). Porque el valor de las almas es grande. ¿Por qué “mand[a] a todos los hombres en todas partes que se arrepientan” y envía apóstoles a predicar el arrepentimiento? (Versículo 9). Porque el valor de las almas es grande. ¿Y por qué Jesucristo sufrió “la muerte en la carne” y “el dolor de todos los hombres”? (Versículo 11). Porque el valor de las almas es grande. Si incluso una sola de esas almas decide aceptar el regalo del Salvador, Él se regocija, porque “grande es su gozo por el alma que se arrepiente” (versículo 13).Título: “El valor de las almas es grande”Categoría: Doctrina y ConveniosPrograma: Estudio de las Escrituras con Pepe y ArielReferencias: Doctrina y Convenios 18Autor: Pepe Valle y Ariel Cuadra_____________________Únete al Grupo de Whatsapp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JfCIDbnOXfnJzOlMChyShEGracias por acompañarnos, te invitamos a conocer todo nuestro contenido:Descarga ScripturePlus: https://scriptureplus.org/FanPage: https://www.facebook.com/BookofMormonCentralenEspanolGrupo de Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/456254818520188Central del Libro de Mormón: https://centralldm.esCentral de Doctrina y Convenios: https://centraldyc.esCentral de Perla de Gran Precio: https://centralpgp.esGeografía del Libro de Mormón: https://geografia.centralldm.esÍndice del Libro de Mormón: https://indice.centralldm.es

En el otoño de 1828, un joven maestro llamado Oliver Cowdery aceptó un puesto de maestro en Manchester, Nueva York, y se hospedó con la familia de Lucy y Joseph Smith, padre. Oliver había oído hablar de su hijo, José, y de sus extraordinarias experiencias, y Oliver, quien se consideraba una persona que buscaba la verdad, quería saber más. Los Smith describieron visitas de ángeles, un registro antiguo y el don de traducir por el poder de Dios. Oliver estaba fascinado. ¿Podía ser cierto? Lucy y Joseph, padre, le dieron un consejo que se aplica a cualquiera que busca la verdad: orar y preguntar al Señor.Oliver lo hizo y el Señor le contestó, hablando “paz a [su] mente” (Doctrina y Convenios 6:23). Oliver descubrió que la revelación no es solo para profetas como José Smith; es para quien la desee y la busque con diligencia. Oliver todavía tenía mucho que aprender, pero sabía lo suficiente como para dar el siguiente paso. Sabía que el Señor estaba haciendo algo importante por medio de José Smith, y Oliver quería ser parte de ello.Véanse también Santos, tomo I, págs. 58–64; “Días en Harmony”, Biblioteca del Evangelio.Título: Este es el espíritu de revelaciónCategoría: Doctrina y ConveniosPrograma: Estudio de las Escrituras con Pepe y ArielReferencias: Doctrina y Convenios 6–9Autor: Pepe Valle y Ariel Cuadra_____________________Únete al Grupo de Whatsapp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JfCIDbnOXfn..._____________________Otros canales: Mensajes de Cristo   / @mensajesdecristo  -Central de las Escrituras Kids   / @centraldelasescrituraskids  -Escrituras y Música   / @vensiguemeconmusica  Gracias por acompañarnos, te invitamos a conocer todo nuestro contenido:Central de las Escrituras: https://centraldle.esDescarga ScripturePlus: https://scriptureplus.orgFanPage:   / bookofmormoncentralenespanol  Grupo de Facebook:   / 456254818520188  Geografía del Libro de Mormón: https://geografia.centralldm.esÍndice del Libro de Mormón: https://indice.centralldm.es

Send us a textFrom Come Follow Me:        "Most people around the world have probably never heard of Harmony, Pennsylvania. The Lord often chooses humble places for the most significant events in His kingdom. In a wooded area near Harmony on May 15, 1829, John the Baptist appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. He placed his hands on their heads and conferred the Aaronic Priesthood upon them, calling them “my fellow servants” (Doctrine and Covenants 13:1).        John the Baptist was the trusted servant of God who baptized the Savior and prepared the way for His coming (see Matthew 3:1–6, 13–17). To these two young men in their twenties, it must have been humbling, perhaps even overwhelming, to be called John's fellow servants. At the time, Joseph and Oliver were relatively unknown, much as Harmony was. But service in God's work has always been about how we serve, not about who notices. However small or unseen your contribution may seem at times, you too are a fellow servant in the Lord's “great and marvelous work” (Doctrine and Covenants 14:1)."Support the Show!www.patreon.com/SaintsintheSouth(The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng)#biblestudy #religion #churchofJesusChrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #christiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #ProLDS #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentSupport the show

These sections emphasize faithfulness, humility, and charity. Additionally, in Joseph Smith—History, it narrates the experiences of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery, including the visit of John the Baptist, who conferred upon them the Aaronic Priesthood on May 15, 1829. This event enabled them to perform baptisms and was a significant step towards the restoration of the priesthood authority on earth. They experienced profound spiritual manifestations and prophetic insights following their baptisms, solidifying their mission amid local opposition.SPARK 1: The Great Physician================OBJECT LESSON: “Give Heed unto My Word”: Quick and Powerful SwordsEtsy Printable Link: [COMING SOON!]SPARK 2: OF GREATEST WORTH===================================OBJECT LESSON: “The Most Worth unto You”: Take Hold of Your Testimony BubblesSPARK 3: A LIVING WITNESS=============================OBJECT LESSON: “You Shall Testify of Them”: Stand As a Witness Card GameEtsy Printable Link: [COMING SOON!] CHAPTERS=========00:00:14 INTRO00:04:13 QUICK GLANCE00:08:45 SPARK 1 INSIGHTS00:15:58 SPARK 1 OBJECT LESSON00:19:32 SPARK 1 QUESTIONS00:21:38 SPARK 2 INSIGHTS00:29:40 SPARK 2 OBJECT LESSON00:35:17 SPARK 2 QUESTIONS00:37:54 SPARK 3 INSIGHTS00:45:59 SPARK 3 OBJECT LESSON00:51:04 SPARK 3 QUESTIONS00:53:35 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comETSY: https://www.etsy.com/shop/meckmomINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Section 12 - Historical Background: Joseph Knight, a successful farmer living in Fayette, New York, was a loyal friend and former employer of Joseph Smith. Knowing Joseph Smith was translating the gold plates while in Harmony, Pennsylvania, Knight brought down a wagon of supplies to help Joseph and Emma. While there, he asked for a personal revelation, probably through the Urim and Thummim. Recap: The Lord confirms His divinity. Those who labor in His vineyard will be blessed and find salvation. Joseph Knight is counselled to be humble, loving, faithful and charitable.  Section 13 – Historical Background: While translating the plates, Joseph and Oliver were impressed with the subject of baptism which was frequently discussed in the record. Wondering what to do about their own baptism, they asked upon the Lord. As a result, a Heavenly manifestation opened before them as John the Baptist appeared and conferred the Aaronic priesthood upon Joseph and Oliver. Having this new authority, Joseph and Oliver baptized one another. Recap: John the Baptist confers the Aaronic Priesthood upon Joseph and Oliver, giving them authority to baptize into Christ's church. Sections 14-16 – Historical Background: After receiving the Melchizedek Priesthood from Peter, James and John, believed to have occurred in early June, 1829, the persecution in Harmony became severe. Joseph was instructed by the Lord to flee with Emma to Fayette, New York where the Whitmer family offered to share their small and modest home with them. Three of the Whitmer sons, David, John and Peter Jr, asked for personal revelations from Joseph. Recap: The Lord declares the divinity of these blessings, coming from God and not from Joseph. Counsel given to labor in the vineyard, keep God's commandments and preach repentance. All were asked to endure to the end. Unfortunately, Peter was the only one who remained loyal to the Lord. Section 17 – Historical Background: During the translation of the plates, it was learned that the Lord would establish the truthfulness of the record by three witnesses (see 2 Nephi 27:12 and Ether 5:4). Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer and Martin Harris all desired to be given the privilege of seeing the Gold Plates. Joseph inquired of the Lord concerning this, through the Urim and Thummim. Recap: Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer and Martin Harris are promised that if they have adequate faith, they will be allowed to not only see the Gold Plates, but also the breastplate, the sword of Laban, the Urim and Thummim, and the Liahona. They are commanded to use this witness to testify to the world of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and its translation by the gift and power of God.

February 17-23I love the natural unfolding of the restoration. Much of what happens is a result of questions that come to the minds of Joseph and Oliver in the course of the translation of the record. The more carefully you study the translation and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, the more you are amazed at the gift and power of God that was given to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery as they translated the record. These are two very young men: Joseph is 23 and Oliver is 22 years old!

Send us a textFrom Come Follow Me:        "As the translation of the Book of Mormon continued, a question came up: What should Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery do about those lost pages of the translation? It might make sense to retranslate that portion, but the Lord saw something they could not: their enemies were planning to alter the words on those pages to cast doubt on Joseph's inspired work. God had a plan to avoid that problem and keep the work moving forward. Thousands of years earlier, God inspired Nephi to write a second record that covered the same time period “for a wise purpose in Him” (1 Nephi 9:5).        “My wisdom,” the Lord said to Joseph, “is greater than the cunning of the devil” (Doctrine and Covenants 10:43). That's a reassuring message in a day like ours, when the adversary is intensifying his efforts to weaken faith. Like Joseph, we can be “faithful and continue on” in the work God has called us to do (verse 3). Then we will find that He has already provided a way so that “the gates of hell shall not prevail” against us (verse 69)."Support the show!www.patreon.com/SaintsintheSouthSubscription page: https://www.buzzsprout.com/830497/subscribe(The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng)#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofJesusChrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #christiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestament"Ask Me Anything": What Do You Want From God?Welcome to Ask Me Anything, the podcast where we give you biblical answers to...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

February 3-9 Just a few months after the 116 manuscript pages of the Book of Lehi were lost, a young man arrived in Manchester, New York.  He had dark brown eyes, a slight build, a prominent lower jaw, high forehead and, as one described, a roman nose.  He was hired to be a teacher in New York's Joint District 11. The small frame schoolhouse was located just about a mile south of the Joseph and Lucy Mack Smith Farm on Stafford Road. In this first teaching job, he had 107 little “scholars.”  Little did he know he would become a teacher for millions yet unborn. His name…was Oliver Cowdery.

These sections address Oliver Cowdery's role as a scribe and his desire to translate, emphasizing the importance of seeking spiritual guidance. In these revelations, the Lord assures Oliver of His support and guidance if Oliver asks with sincerity, seeks wisdom, and studies the scriptures. They highlight the processes of personal revelation and the importance of fear not and doubt not in one's journey of faith. The Lord assures that if asked sincerely, the Spirit will confirm truths by providing peace to one's mind and heart.SPARK 1: SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED================OBJECT LESSON: “In Your Mind and in Your Heart”: Unfolding Mysteries FlowersEtsy Printable Link: [LINK SOON!]QUESTIONS: - What do you think it means for us to stand by Joseph?

The Smiths described visits from angels, an ancient record, and the gift to translate by the power of God. Oliver was fascinated. Could it be true? Lucy and Joseph Sr. gave him advice that applies to anyone seeking truth: pray and ask the Lord.        Oliver did, and the Lord answered, speaking “peace to [his] mind” (Doctrine and Covenants 6:23). Revelation, Oliver discovered, isn't just for prophets like Joseph Smith. It's for anyone who wants it and seeks it diligently. Oliver still had a lot to learn, but he knew enough to take his next step. He knew the Lord was doing something important through Joseph Smith, and Oliver wanted to be part of it."Support the Show:www.patreon.com/SaintsintheSouth(The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng)#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofJesusChrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #christiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentSupport the show
