WOULD YOU LIKE TO ENTERTAIN ANGELS? HERE IS A KEY

When he was asked where he received his wisdom from, his answer was:

Rabbi Judah ben Samuel –

“The prophet Elijah, who will precede the Messiah, appeared to me and revealed many things to me and emphasized that the precondition for answered prayer is that it is fueled by enthusiasm and joy for the greatness and holiness of God.”

The above quote came from this blog post from some time ago:

Now, when people ask us for the reason for our enthusiasm and light-filled life, let us give them our reason:

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Thank you for this treasure of a post IRAQ. It is absolutely true. I think on Father as much as possible throughout the day. I tell Him in my mind from my heart what a delight and joy it is just to think on Him, to praise Him and ask for nothing, to know that He is there always, to know that HE IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD and how thankful I am that HE INDEED IS JUST THAT.

But even more so, that He loves me and that I have His attention the very second I direct the love of my heart toward Him. To love Him just for the sake of loving Him. When I think on Father this way, it almost feels like reaching out through time and space to wrap my arms around Him and bury my face in the robes of His righteousness. I am safe. I am home again. I am with my TRUE Father.

There is no power that exists that can prevent my rejoicings nor separate me from the love of my Heavenly Father. My body may be killed but my spirit is free to rejoice in Him now and forever!

I testify to all that when your heart and mind do this, you will draw closer to Him and will be less inclined to do evil or anything that would offend Him. You will begin to love the things He loves and hate the things He hates. He will become more real and closer to you. You will feel His presence and a connection to Him almost constantly, like an open phone line.

Try this and see how you feel. Pray and do nothing but praise Him the entire time. I promise if you are sincere He will let you know His happiness for truly being loved by you. Your life will become richer and fuller.

In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thank you again, brother for this beautiful post and for the opportunity to praise Heavenly Father and witness of His Glory, Majesty, Power, Love, Might, Omnipotence, and Everlasting Dominion.

WHY SHOULD WE STUDY THE HIDDEN THINGS RELATED TO THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST?

But the Latter-day Saints are not in darkness; they are the children of light, although many of us will actually be asleep. We shall have to wake up and trim up our lamps, or we shall not be prepared to enter in; for we shall all slumber and sleep in that day, and some will have gone to sleep from which they will not awake until they awake up in darkness without any oil in their lamps. But, as a general thing, the Saints will understand the signs of the times. Others have their eyes closed upon the prophecies of the ancient Prophets; and not only that, but they are void of the spirit of prophecy themselves. When a man has this, though he may appeal to ancient Prophets to get understanding on some subjects he does not clearly understand, yet, as he has the spirit of prophecy in himself, he will not be in darkness; he will have a knowledge of the signs of the times; he will have a knowledge of the house of Israel, and of Zion, of the ten tribes and of many things and purposes and events that are to take place on the earth; and he will see coming events, and can say such an event will take place, and after that another, and then another; and after that the trumpet shall sound, and after that certain things will take place, and then another trump shall sound, &c., &c.; and he will have his eye fixed on the signs of the times, and that day will not overtake him unawares.

JD, O PRATT 7:190

JOSEPH SMITH SAID THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING AND WAITING, WILL KNOW THE HOUR:

"Christ says no man knoweth the day or the hour when the Son of Man cometh. This is a sweeping argument for sectarianism against Latter day ism. Did Christ speak this as a general principle throughout all generations Oh no he spoke in the present tense no man that was then liveing upon the footstool of God knew the day or the hour But he did not say that there was no man throughout all generations that should not know the day or the hour. No for this would be in flat contradiction with other scripture for the prophet says that God will do nothing but what he will reveal unto his Servants the prophets consequently if it is not made known to the Prophets it will not come to pass; again we find Paul 1st of Thesslonians 5th Chapter expressly points out the characters who shall not know the day nor the hour when the Son of Man cometh for says he it will come upon them as the theif or unawares. Who are they they are the children of darkness or night. But to the Saints he says yea are not of the night nor of darkness of that that day should come upon you unawares. John the revelator says 14 chap 7th verse that the hour of his judgements is come they are precursers or forerunners of the comeing of Christ. read Matthew 24 Chap and all the Prophets. He says then shall they see the Sign of the comeing of the Son of Man in the clouds of Heaven. How are we to see it Ans. As the lighting up of the morning or the dawning of the morning cometh from the east and shineth unto the west—So also is the comeing of the Son of Man. The dawning of the morning makes its appearance in the east and moves along gradualy so also will the comeing of the Son of Man be. it will be small at its first appearance and gradually becomes larger untill every eye shall see it. Shall the Saints understand it Oh yes. Paul says so. Shall the wicked understand Oh no they attribute it to a natural cause. They will probably suppose it is two great comets comeing in contact with each other It will be small at first and will grow larger and larger untill it will be all in a blaze so that every eye shall see it." (Joseph Smith, General Conference, April 6, 1843
