THE LORD HAS PREPARED FOR US A SAFE WAY

(This article was inspired by an Apostle, Elder Boyd K. Packer, President of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints)

The Lord always prepares a Safe Way for the Saints when times get bad.  He has done this for us in this, our day.

He has given us the Restored Laws and Ordinances of the Fullness of the Everlasting Gospel.

If we are to be safe as individuals and as families and together as a church, against anything that will come, we MUST be obeying the Laws and Ordinances we have agreed to obey, when we made Covenants with the Lord.

As the Prophet Nephi in the Book of Mormon said about our doing the Lord’s work and obeying His will:

1 NEPHI 3: 7

7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

(His father was the Prophet Lehi)

We have to remember that this life on earth is only temporary.  We agreed to come to earth, get a body of flesh and bone for our spirit (US), and to learn how to use and care for it. 

We were also sent to be TESTED to see IF we would do what the Lord commands us.  He sent Prophets to give us His words and they are in the scriptures now.  He is still giving His words to us today, through Living Prophets and Apostles and they are available to ALL.

In the Book of Abraham, written on Scrolls, in Abraham’s own hand, Abraham told us what he saw and why we are here on earth:

ABRAHAM3: 24-25

24 And there stood one among them that was like unto God, (Jesus Christ, then known as Jehovah) and he said unto those who were with him: We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon these (us) may dwell

25 And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them;

The Apostle Paul said about OUR DAY, THE LAST DAYS:

2TIMOTHY 3: 1-7

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Sixty Two Years After the Constitution was passed, the Saints, then in Utah had a celebration in 1849.

They had a big celebration, and the theme of this first celebration they chose patriotism and loyalty to that same government which had rejected and failed to assist them from the persecution of the mobs.

If you want to know why this happened, go to Apostle Boyd K.Packer and watch, listen or read what he said about these saints.
