Brothers,
Please consider the experience of the brother of Jared with the Lord. After he saw the hand of the Lord and before the Lord revealed himself completely; the brother of Jared was asked if he believed the words the Lord was going to speak. I love this principle.
In preparation for the upcoming General Conference, we might ask ourselves, "Do I believe what the Lord is going to reveal to me?" Does the Spirit need to teach us before we excessive faith?
What do you think?
I was just thinking about this in relation to giving priesthood blessings. At FHE we talked about this and I said that Jesus often asked people before He healed them whether they had faith to be healed. Not because Jesus didn't have enough faith to heal, and Not because Jesus didn't know whether they had faith, but I think it was for the benefit of the person to express his faith before he was healed.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you likened this to GC. Before GC we should express our faith in our leaders and in the Lord that we will have answers revealed to us through them in GC.
