Welcome! With all of the confusion in our world today, I want to have a discussion about the importance of following the prophets, so I have decided to start this blog.
We have been warned in the scriptures “even the very elect will be deceived” (Matthew 24:24, Joseph Smith Matthew 1: 22)
Jesus Christ is the leader of His church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He leads and guides His church through living prophets, messengers of God who receives commandments and revelations to guide His church and its members. The President of the Church is sustained as living prophet, seer, and revelator, and also sustain the counselors in the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as prophets, seers, and revelators. Their primary role is to bear witness of Jesus Christ, teach God’s will, and provide inspired guidance for both the Church and the world.
Remember that we are told in Doctrine and Covenants 1:38, “whether, by my voice or the voice of my servants it is the same.” In other words, when the prophets are speaking with the power of the Holy Ghost, it has if Jesus Christ is speaking. We all know that if Jesus Christ was right in front of us speaking, we would listen and would more likely do as He would tell us.
The purpose of this blog for me, is that I may help others come unto Jesus Christ, and to understand the simplicity of His gospel. Looking, listening, and following the prophets will lead and guide us through the confusion of the world in which we live.
I will use the four-standard works, and general conference talks. I invite you to pray and do your own studying to know on your own what is the truth and to build your own testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I hope that this can be a tool for you to use to not be deceived.
