Many people of the earth do not believe in God, or if they do, they do not believe he speaks today.
I am here to tell you that He does. He has always spoken to His children here on earth from the time of Adam even until now.
He speaks today to a living prophet.
He is NOT only the prophet to this church, BUT, the Lord says this prophet is to ALL THE WORLD.
BUT WILL THE WORLD LISTEN?
We of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints understand this, and WE ARE COMMANDED BY THE LORD TO TELL THE WORLD.
In 1820 a 14 year old boy was confused with the different religions that existed and did not know which to join.
He thought there should not be so much confusion in doctrines.
Truth is truth and all should have the same truth and there should not be any confliction between the doctrines of the churches.
The Lord wants all His children back and would not try to confuse them or trick them.
Joseph Smith read in:

The Lord wants all His children back and would not try to confuse them or trick them.
Joseph Smith read in:
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.
When he read that passage he decided to try and ask God which church to join.
He was confused.
He was favoring the Methodist but he did not know for sure.
In his own words he explained what he did.
He was told to wait and that the fullness of His Gospel would be Restored, with His Church, to the earth, through him.
For 3 years he did not receive any more instructions.
So, he decided to find out why. Let him tell it in his own words.
So, he decided to find out why. Let him tell it in his own words.
After 4 years of instruction, once a year by this messenger, he was allowed to take the plates and translate them by the gift and power of God.
Remember, Joseph had only 3 years of schooling and no libraries were around him to educate him on writing and on a history about another people on this continent.
Once this record was translated and published he was commanded to organize the Lord's Church again upon the earth on 6 April 1830.
From there on, he received Revelation from Jesus Christ on a regular basis, instructing him how to organized and conduct the affairs of His church here on the earth in the last days.
He was told to organize these Revelations into a Book of Commandments and later the name was changed to the Doctrines and Covenants.
The name was changed to show that the Book contained the DOCTRINES of the LORD and the COVENANTS He would make between HIM and His SAINTS in these LAST DAYS.
After giving the Prophet Joseph Smith a few revelations, the Lord gave him one specific revelation which he was commanded to put at the Head of all the revelations as His Preface to His Book of Doctrines and Covenants.
This Revelation known as Section 1 is what this WARNING TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD.
This is a MUST READ TO ALL.
Read carefully and slowly. This is to all the world from the Lord Jesus Christ.
ALL will be held accountable at the Day of Judgement for what choices they made with the information and opportunities they were given.
