Oh that I could have had my days in the days when my father Nephi first came out of the land of Jerusalem..... If you could pick any time to live, when would it be? Would it be today? Our days? The winding up scenes before the Savior comes to rule and reign

Helaman 6

July 17, 2020 17:23 - 15 minutes - 7.53 MB

When have your prayers been the most heartfelt and sincere? When have they been the most casual? We were sent to be tried and tested, to learn and become more! What is happening to you during all of this adversity- are you being humbled and coming closer to god?

Helaman 5

July 16, 2020 19:37 - 20 minutes - 9.76 MB

Aminidab and 300 prisoners are in jail with Nephi and Lehi who are encircled with fire. They are in darkness but “turn them about and look!” They become God’s missionaries and convert thousands of lamanites!

Helaman 4

July 15, 2020 12:34 - 15 minutes - 7.44 MB

What blessing from God would you most want at this time in your life? What commandment are we told, if we obey, we will receive that blessing? Could you work on your obedience to that commandment?

Helaman 2-3

July 14, 2020 17:11 - 16 minutes - 7.77 MB

We have Helaman (Helaman’s son) as prophet and chief judge and the gadianton robbers. It tells us the blessings of god were so great the leaders were astonished beyond measure! What does god’s prosperity look like?

Alma 63 and Helaman 1

July 13, 2020 19:01 - 14 minutes - 7.14 MB

Moroni chosen at 25 to lead the nephite army (Alma 43 details why) vs coriantumr who is chosen to lead the lamanites. What a difference. His pride leads to his destruction and the loss of thousands of lives on both sides

Alma 62

July 10, 2020 16:12 - 18 minutes - 8.71 MB

Is all that is going on in our world right now- hardening our hearts or humbling us and refining us? Gratitude, remembering what God has done for us, praying are key to becoming who God needs us and wants us to be

Alma 61

July 10, 2020 01:24 - 15 minutes - 7.47 MB

Talk about a man of God! How do we become Pahoran and act- not re-act?!!! Only with the spirit are we able to see through accusations and threats to what the Lord would have us center on and learn.

Alma 59-60

July 10, 2020 01:23 - 17 minutes - 8.4 MB

“And it came to pass that Moroni was angry with the government.....”. Out of anger comes this letter of accusations, threats, lecturing.... what can we learn from this?! Anger is absolutely a voice of Satan and oh the hurt it causes!

Alma 58

“But behold it mattereth not- we trust God will deliver us! Not withstanding our weakness....and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies.”

“What will happen as you more intentionally hear, hearken, and heed what the Savior has said and what He is saying now through His prophets?.....I promise miracles in your marriage, family relationships, and daily work!” This is illustrated so clearly through this army of Helaman

Alma 55

June 25, 2020 17:02 - 14 minutes - 7.05 MB

Moroni was so inspired to arm the prisoners within the city and his army without- they took the city without any loss of life. How are we arming ourselves and our families within and without?

Alma 54

June 24, 2020 16:05 - 15 minutes - 7.46 MB

We may be inspired how to act, but that does not mean the outcome or response will be what we hope it is! God uses us for our strengths and knows we can overcome our weakness’. Moroni was not perfect! But he was a warrior for God and he did not mince words.

Alma 53

June 23, 2020 15:07 - 11 minutes - 5.62 MB

Alma 52

June 22, 2020 14:30 - 15 minutes - 6.96 MB

It is so hard to retake our strongholds once they have been lost. It is a war! We have to give heed and diligence daily to fortifying and maintaining our strongholds!

Alma 51

June 18, 2020 16:41 - 13 minutes - 6.17 MB

Alma 50

June 17, 2020 16:19 - 16 minutes - 7.58 MB

How are we fortifying defensively and offensively against the enemy so we have all power and we remove his strongholds?!

Alma 49

June 16, 2020 19:48 - 14 minutes - 6.86 MB

Heed and Diligence! What do those words mean to you? We learn because of those 2 words the Nephites had all power over their enemies! That is awesome

Alma 48

June 15, 2020 15:11 - 15 minutes - 7.55 MB

What does it mean to have perfect understanding? What is the constant stream or noise we listen to? How do we offset the negativity of the world? It is by small and simple things! Daily!

Alma 34:40

June 13, 2020 14:40 - 5 minutes - 2.73 MB

A huge added ahha for me as I studied this morning. So grateful for this lesson on what “do not revile” means

Alma 47

June 12, 2020 18:31 - 15 minutes - 7.54 MB

A bitter fountain can not bring forth good water, a good fountain cannot bring forth bitter water. By their fruits you shall know them! Amalikiah’s desires and intents never changed!!! Just as Satan’s never change!

What have you hoisted on the walls of your home as a reminder of what you are fighting for? What is your cause?

June 10, 2020 18:43 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MB

“The central message of the Book of Mormon is to restore the true knowledge of the essential role of Jesus Christ in the salvation and exaltation of mankind.” He is the power the protected and saved the Nephites. He is who walks with and helps us- if we do our part!

Alma 43

June 09, 2020 18:33 - 18 minutes - 8.69 MB

“As followers of Christ we are not spared challenges and trials in our lives. We are often required to do difficult things that if attempted alone would be overwhelming! As we accept the Saviors invitation to come unto me- He will provide the support, comfort, and peace that are necessary.”

Alma 41-42

June 06, 2020 21:40 - 16 minutes - 7.78 MB

Alma 40

June 05, 2020 21:50 - 11 minutes - 5.62 MB

Alma shares praying to know what happens to us after we die and while we wait for the resurrection. This goes so well with Joseph f smiths vision D&C 138- praying to know what those spirits are doing! What a treasure to have these! I got cut off at the end- hope you know the Savior loves you!

Alma 39

June 04, 2020 16:08 - 15 minutes - 7.33 MB

Why is corianton’s sin (sleeping with the harlot) next to murder or denying the Holy Ghost? Thou shouldst have tended to the ministry where with thou wast entrusted! Come to the tree, partake the fruit!

Alma 37

June 02, 2020 19:53 - 17 minutes - 8.17 MB

Alma turns the records over to Helaman. By small means (keeping the record of god’s hand in their lives) great things are brought to pass! Anti Nephi Lehi’s brought to a knowledge of the truth. Confounding the wise- zeezrom also brought to a knowledge of the truth! Are we using these “small means” to work miracles in our lives?

Alma 36

June 01, 2020 16:33 - 16 minutes - 7.88 MB

Alma shares with his son Helaman his conversion! It’s been 26 years since the angel came. He testifies if we are obedient god prospers us! And he testifies he knows when he dies he will dwell with God! This vile sinner knows repentance and change!! It is all about becoming!

Alma 34-35

May 29, 2020 15:03 - 18 minutes - 8.78 MB

Amulek teaches and is another witness to the prophets words! The converted Zoramites are cast out to Jershon! This awful trial they think they are going through is a huge blessing as the join with the anti Nephi Lehi’s and get to live with these giants in the gospel!

Alma 33

May 28, 2020 16:22 - 11 minutes - 5.56 MB

Alma opens the scriptures to testimonies from Zenos, Zenock, and Moses all of whom testify of prayer and of the atonement of Christ! If you believe in the scriptures as you say you do, then you have to know there is a Christ!

Alma 32

May 27, 2020 16:11 - 14 minutes - 6.89 MB

How lucky are these zoramites?! After going through the trial of poverty, they are compelled to be humble and ready to hear the word of God and return to His fold!!! What a gift!

Alma 31

May 26, 2020 16:18 - 17 minutes - 8.32 MB

How do we keep our children from falling into errors? How do we reclaim those that have gone astray as the zoramites had?

Alma 30

May 26, 2020 03:35 - 19 minutes - 9.01 MB

Korihor gives us so many arguments the world uses to disprove there is a god! “I have all things as a testimony that these things are true! All things denote there is a god!”

Alma 29

May 23, 2020 13:59 - 11 minutes - 5.25 MB

Repentance =no more sorrow! “Repentance isn’t His backup plan in the event we might fail. Repentance is His plan, knowing we will!”

Alma 27-28

May 22, 2020 16:36 - 15 minutes - 7.42 MB

Are you a seeker of happiness? Have you experienced incomprehensible joy? When? I love how the anti Nephi lehis honor their covenants and I love how the nephites welcome them in, give them lands, protect them and love them as their brothers and sisters in Christ.

Alma 25-26

May 21, 2020 16:40 - 15 minutes - 7.34 MB

God fulfills every word of the prophet! Abinadi’s prophecies are fulfilled. “Who can glory too much in the Lord?!” I love Alma’s rejoicing! Sis reeves conference talk in oct 2015 echos this! “Was that all that was required?!”

Alma 23-24

May 20, 2020 16:50 - 15 minutes - 7.04 MB

Is it better to find the truth later in life- to be converted and have our sins washed away? We have conference talks that witness of converts words- oh how I wish I would have known these truths! It would have spared me so much heartache! We are so blessed to know these truths! Now we need to pattern the anti Nephi Lehi’s and be valiant!!
