One of the singular things that we, as Elders in the Lord's church possess, is the ability to bless those who seek for the truth and to curse those who kick against the pricks and fight the servants of God.
I am always amazed that Joseph, for all the crazy stuff he had to endure, that he did not wholesale openly curse those who afflicted him during his mortal journey and life's mission. It may have been done in quiet, but I have read no account of it being done openly. What great restraint! When I see what Jesus did to the bush that produced no fruit (just as His frustration was likely mounting over Israel's lack of fruit and unfulfilled mandates and His dreams for them), I am amazed. But the bush died forthwith (shriveled up on the spot):
Matthew 21:19"And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away". Mark 11:12-25"And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever".
This tree was "guilty" of violating the first commandment given from God to His posterity and to all things on earth; Multiply and replenish". With no fruit, there would be no seeds. With no seeds, there would be no multiplication, nor replenishment. There are so many parables that address this very topic in the scriptures. Produce, or your existence is in vain and the very purposes of God; frustrated. This is the agenda of the d'evil; to attempt to thwart or frustrate the declarations and wishes of God. Those who kick against the pricks, so to speak. We see them all around us; those who love rebellion more than compliance to the desires of a Loving God. If His ways were harmful or injurious to us, it would be one thing. But they are designed to bring us the ultimate in happiness and fulfilment. So, why kick against the pricks?!?
The primary role of the Priesthood is to bless the lives of others. Whether it is healing or specifically calling down the powers of heaven to provide rain when/where needed, to alleviate some telestial condition that is afflicting. Those with a fulness of their Priesthood can act in that capacity. Those with faith to receive can receive the portion given to them.
We have also been given the mandate to curse those who reject our message - and I have had experiences with that power:
"I will bless those who bless you, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed" appears in Genesis 12:3
And then there is the injunction in the Doctrine and Covenants:
2 But with some I am not well pleased, for they will not open their mouths, but they hide the talent which I have given unto them, because of the fear of man. Wo unto such, for mine anger is kindled against them.
3 And it shall come to pass, if they are not more faithful unto me, it shall be taken away, even that which they have.
4 For I, the Lord, rule in the heavens above, and among the armies of the earth; and in the day when I shall make up my jewels, all men shall know what it is that bespeaketh the power of God.
14 And after thou hast come up unto the land of Zion, and hast proclaimed my word, thou shalt speedily return, proclaiming my word among the congregations of the wicked, not in haste, neither in wrath nor with strife.
15 And shake off the dust of thy feet against those who receive thee not, not in their presence, lest thou provoke them, but in secret; and wash thy feet, as a testimony against them in the day of judgment.
It is pretty clear here that we are to open our mouths (use the "sword of my mouth" to declare truth and let the chips fall where they may). For some, that chip dispersion was assured death. For others, they got to see the results of their cursings on the wicked (withdrawals of God's protections in a fallen world).
As the father of a wayward child who was openly kicking against the pricks, I asked God to drop the hammer on her so that her mortal probation would not be an utter waste. What happened over the course of the next few months was breath taking - and we are still dealing with the blowback and carnage from that event until she is humble enough to cry out to the very God of Heaven for help and assistance beyond what we are allowed to give. God loves each of us enough to do the hard thing to ensure our growth and ultimate happiness.
I cannot help but laugh at the folly of those who, in Lehi's day, chastised him and harrassed him to the point that his life was in danger. Lehi was NO MAJOR PROPHET. He simply was a descendant of Joseph - and we all know what gifts accompany that lineage (especially Mannasseh). But he was out there, in the foray of pre-Babylonian Jerusalem warning and calling to repentance. Doing what we (at least the males) covenant to do in order to release us from the blood and sins of this generation as we wield the sword of Truth and Justice - just as we did in the pre-Mortal realms (the fact that you are here at this juncture in history, attests to that). The women rid themselves of the blood and sins of this generation by virtue of bringing life into the world and raising that life in truth and righteousness. The women put it on the altar as they give birth and sacrifice for these young lives. The men manifest their lealty through other means.
But, for sure, there were those in Lehi's day who sought to put him down because he was not Jeremiah, or because he was an outsider, or whatever the reason may have been. The fact is: they were proven wrong.
I have seen lately on social media, attempts to tear down the witness of Thomas Harrison (Visions of Glory). I am not sure what their motives are - but there is a real effort out there to invalidate what he has to say of our future. The fact is this, as I know it: There will be massive destruction amongst the Saints who have allowed the Gadiantons to get above them and who uphold the secret combinations because they love their things and sins more than they love God. The folks who are going after VoG see this as a threat to their "All is well in Zion" narrative. Admitting that the VoG narrative could happen, would imply that a Just God is displeased with the overall state of affairs of His people. This would mean that a state of repentance and change is in order. For some, this reality is just too much. For it is easier to cast a stone at a prophet or even a Prophet, than it is to repent and change course. This very thing is often at the root of split personalities and much else in the mental health arena. It is easier for the mind to create a split reality - than for it to admit wrong-doing and then go about the necessary steps for change.
Sometimes, when one is in a place of power, it is easier to slander someone with less social standing (calling them a polygamist in today's social climate would qualify) in order to diminish their message. But, I can assure you that their folly shall be made manifest in due time and in order for them to progress, they will have to seek out forgiveness from those they have wronged. It is very simple. For those who have ridiculed the Book of Mormon, they will have to repent in the only way possible on the other side, and then seek out the approval of the key players in that narrative and who were responsible for it's existence including Joseph Smith. Depending on the amount of knowledge they had when they rejected the truth, it will take that much effort to get back to a good place.
I have seen the nuke that hits Ogden (HAFB). I have been led to understand the reality of much of the destruction that Thomas Harrison saw. Bishop Koyle testified of much of the same and the Spirit ratified much of his testimony to me. Either my Spirit is off, or theirs is. Knowing that, what the Spirit has given utterance to me has become reality, I would much rather rely on the version I have been given than their "nothing burger" of a testimony.
Time will tell.
I had people mocking me for almost two decades on my stance that Russia and China will be a thing here on our soil. It seemed impossible even to me in the mid-2000s. Now, the events are screaming at me of their imminence. Who will be the fool with their head crushed under the black boot of a conquering soldier? With no food or way to navigate that reality? Sorry, but I refuse to let me or mine fall into that reality so long as I have any say in the matter.
This completely makes sense in context:

Knowledge is power when you know that His blood literally spilled on the right side of the Mercy Seat. It was complete.
When we are surrounded by sin, our silence sometimes implies consent. I had an acquaintance who used to be a best friend until I noticed a pattern of him screwing people over in business dealings. I put him on notice that I could not continue as his friend if he did not deal justly and fairly with his fellow man. He did not consider my counsel important. I moved on. I definitely would not do business with him.
Here I go:
I categorically and completely sever any ties I have with HARM in Big Pharma and refuse any kind of employment with them. I would rather starve than be a part of that cabal. Medical devices are a different story.
I renounce and rebuke those who are involved in part or whole with the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) and refuse to participate in any way in their activities unless that activity deals with protecting the homeland from domestic threats. I will be no part of anything aerospace related that projects power beyond basic domestic interests. I denounce the millions of innocent lives that have been wasted in these power grabs. Even those who have harmed our troops abroad; they were just defending their wives and children and religion and lives, just as our Founding Fathers did as they pulled away from the oppressive invaders who approached us on lower moral ground.
I renounce the abortion culture and ask God to please rain direct and palpable consequences down on those who harm the innocent and the defenseless (including the aged). May the death and destruction they have rained down upon the world, fall upon their heads without measure in such a manner that it is clear and breathtaking in nature and will cause those who see to declare that surely the God of Heaven is displeased and that the wrath of a Just God has come upon their heads.
I renounce and rebuke those who are the wolves amongst the sheep within the flock - who knowingly spread false doctrine and teach progressive ideas while predating amongst the flock and often badmouthing those who have chosen to take the Spirit as their guide.
I renounce and curse those who have taken up with the Gadiantons in all forms of their activities wherein they seek power, gain (money) and influence at the expense of their fellow man. Specifically, politicians who head to Washington with little net worth yet end up millionaires in short order due to corruption and skimming.
I renounce the lies of the "media" who seek to prop up evil agendas while excluding and tearing down wholesome agendas and values.
Last of all, I renounce the perversions of the LGBT+ crowd that seeks to twist sacred things into a perverse and backward manner that seek to recruit/groom innocent children into their sick activities. I call on God to provide additional events such as Hurricane Katrina in correlation with events where these gather - and to wipe them from the face of the earth - as in the days Noah so that the earth and it's weary inhabitants can rest from the filth and perversions.
I sever myself from all of the above and commit myself to a former covenant that I will exert all influence and power that I possess in defense of truth and right - as I had committed to during the War in Heaven. I ask God to be merciful through the Atonement of Jesus Christ on all those who unwittingly are participating in the above activities the He will enlighten their minds and bring them to a knowledge of His Plan and Love for them. That they might be filled with light and the vision of their former glory and decide to take up the sword once again to fight the Good Fight on the side of truth and righteousness.
I invoke a blessing on all those who uphold things that are praiseworthy (of God) and of Good Report and ask God to magnify those warriors who ceaselessly fight the good battle day in and day out.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Truly exquisite song. Very delicate, simple and clean describing a girl who lost her parents and was reached out by them for a taste of heaven:

I am not sure if Sarah's career has taken off.
I cannot believe how sick it is that someone would do this.... But then, I guess we all have our limits.
Trump gives zero cares. He has lived a long life and been able to do much. All he cares about is this country and the future of it for his kids and grand kids. Once you get there - little else matters. Money, reputation, legacy - not important in the bigger picture. Which is why I prefer older leaders. It is rare that someone can bend them. If they have their heads screwed on straight, they are thinking about their meeting with their Maker and how their current and past actions will impact that meeting.
When the liberal west starts arresting those of us that even look into this possibility, it is time to leave for me... It is now popular to harrass and arrest and extend warrants for a former sitting President in sham trials and when you question the actions of the Black prostitutor from NY, you are called a racist and shut down publicly. No open discourse. No open debate. And in Canada, it is much worse. Freedom of expression is in the toilet - and why I no longer reside there. The place is in the toilet. Two of the leaders of the border protest just got six years in jail for their efforts. I am so glad I was part of that - so I could get a first-hand look at tyranny in it's most raw form. They were recording each and every attendee at police choke points - and there is probably a file on every person that made it there.
When the Kamal (the ditzy double humper that she is) gets in thanks to all of the bought votes from south of the border, it will be open season in the US on conservatives and religious types. There will be places that hold out like Montana and a few others - but the mentally ill purple hairers will have won until the CW2.0 purge eliminates them. And what a relief that will be to have a return to common sense.
But, as an ace in the ole pocket, there is always Russia:

I have been saying for years that it had come to this. And here we are....
Decisions, decisions...
So, I just watched most of this sentencing video against a hospital that screwed the Kowalski family to the point that the mother (a nurse who was just trying to help her daughter get some relief from chronic pain) ended up hanging herself in the garage.
The payout by Johns Hopkins was over 200 million dollars. You cannot bring back a mother - and quite frankly, she did the right thing by ending her life to shine a spotlight on the abuse that family suffered. If she had not, it would have just made a minor footnote in some record and the abuses would have continued. Was the hopital staff truly acting in the best interest of the patient? Only God truly knows. In my opinion and my experience, those that often harbor a god complex over-step their bounds on a regular basis. This is just one example.
When I was intubated, I attempted a breakout from the hospital because they were not allowing my wife or any family to come visit me, even though she had tested positive for Covid two weeks prior and had gone through the two week period where she was technically no longer contagious by all medical standards. Nor was I. But, she had schooled several of the doctors there on the "safety" and "effectiveness" of the shcitt schott and they were likely acting in a punitive stance towards her and I. As soon as she pushed back (when they asked her why she was not schotted), they cut her off from any hope of a future visit and without warning - after assuring her that she was fine to come in to see me prior to her schooling them on the dangers of the schitt-schott.
After ripping the pic line out of the back of my hand, and rolling out of bed, I passed out. I still remember the grinding feeling of that needle coming out of me as I did more of a twisting motion than a linear motion. The pool of blood when I came to was around the size of a platter. I managed to army crawl along the side of the hospital bed and around the end of it where I think my catheter hung me up and I intermittently passed out while shitting myself repeatedly. It must have been a sight to behold; shit and blood everywhere.
Withholding family from one who is suffering is torture. It was for me. When they saw I was pretty determined to over-ride their stupid decisions, they got my wife in pronto and there was ZERO impact to herself, myself or any other patients there that I am aware of. Besides, if the jib jab were so effective, what impact would an uninnoculated have on those who had the "effective" poke?!? Logic says it would be none. Coercive white-coats with an agenda would say and act otherwise. I call this gas lighting.
Anyway - yeah, if I had been on the jury, I would have thrown the book at those who acted so stupidly which directly led to the death of a loved one.
So, when Alaska Airlines management knowingly did not grease the ballscrew actuator on their horizontal stabilizer and it caused a terrifying crash of an MD-83, should each of those surviving family members not get a similar payout instead of the paltry sums that were handed out to the families to sign saying they would not pursue legal action for negligence.
When an asshole from Raymond (a doctor and some kind of ecclesiastical leader) heaps more persecution on patient Saints who have VERY good reasons for not taking the clot shot (both of my parents and one sibling now have died from bloodclot related disorders, before Covid ever came along and they were in perfect health), what do you do with that? Many of us who sought out the best medical advice and received answers from the Great Physician, have PTSD from the way we were treated by the do-gooders. My wife was just summoned to talk to our old neighbor who is also a Temple Sealer in Cardston and who hammered on us for not being good Saints and non-followers of the Prophet. She really does not want to meet with her because of the Pharisaical BS she subjected our family to during the scamdemic because we were spiritual mutants. Sheesh. I am amazed my wife is still powering on after that shit.
I am telling you - I can hardly take the corruption I see around me. The cover ups. The obfuscation. The hypocrisy. The gaslighting. It is a little much some days. I fantasize of getting to the other side and being a Destroying Angel. I am sure I would raise a little hell in that role. I desire it.
So, I have been waiting for some time to figure out who the doc is that threw all of the best people I know (those who have gotten past the LDS culture - such as cultishly and unthinkingly repeating the mantra of, "Follow the Prophet, Follow the Prophet...") under the bus and who have taken the Spirit as their guide and who indeed follow the Prophet so long as he follows good principle and only points to Christ (Hear Him). Mindlessly following a mortal is cultish and has gotten many a person in trouble when it comes to the Kool Aid flavor du jour. People who accuse the LDS of being cultish for following the teachings of Joseph Smith (and other modern prophets) often forget their role, which is to bring the Saints to Christ - and not to themselves or any agenda whether it be the UN, or a political leader, etc.
If one of the 12 starts spewing their love for a worldly political agenda, I am completely out. When Renlund announced his love affair with the jib jab, I put him on a list of those I will just tune out in the future. His personal professional views got in the way of ministering and delivering the message of Jesus Christ. In my opinion, he crossed the line of rendering to Ceasar and was clearly pushing an agenda that I personally have NO interest in. When President Nelson was slathered across the interwebs with a needle hanging off the shoulder, I was shocked, dumbfounded and heartbroken - but about a year or two later, I came around when my wife pointed out that his message has always been to seek the Lord's will in hearing Him. Thankfully, that saved me from utter destruction - because I kind of gave up at that point with my trust levels at an all-time low. The elections were obviously compromised, it seemed obvious that the Church has been, as well. At least at most levels. If I, a guy with ZERO classwork in the biological sciences could smell a rat - then why could they not?!? Were they blinded by their own biases as the brain-washed white coats that they are, as mostly pill-pushers for big pHARMa? If blinded by that, then what else were they blinded by? A gay family member who will convince them to cast their vote in favor of having two dudes kneeling at the altar to be sealed?!? The list goes on.
I was and am and always will be attracted to what makes this doctrinal set different than the rest of them that are merrily on the path to hell as they court the trannies and so much else. NO THANKS!! And there are many members clamoring for the leadership to follow suit after the whole rager agenda. If there is an inkling of that garbage in heaven, I officially cast my vote for hell...
Back to this doc from Raymond. I was not there, but have it from three separate and reliable sources that he said that those who got the schitt-schott following after President Nelson's "example" were the wheat in the Church and those who resisted were the tares in the Kingdom. Just wow. Well, if my good friends at the time needed any cannon fodder for their agenda, this was it. Of course, I went ballistic at the time. Full-on warpath. That combined with the announcement that the Church was not to provide any ecclesiastical support to those claiming a religious exemption. FULL. ON. DECLARATION. OF. WAR. against those who I called Latter-day Saints instead of Latter Day Aints....
So, a good friend goes in to the temple with her anti-vaxxer posse (those that are still alive and still active) and who ends up being one of the sealers? Yep, it was two doctors, one of whom was this Raymond celebrity who probably effectively turned 5-10% of the best members out to pasture with one statement. Do I blame them for leaving? Not really - I happen to resent being thrown in a category of those who will be burned at the last day for slothfulness, as it says at the end of the following parable.. Sadly, those that jumped ship (to the DoC, etc) will not prosper either. It is a tragedy all around. Many are lost, having been scattered by the deceitful shepherds and they routintely quote Section 101 about the watchmen falling asleep - and it does give pause, given the events of the last few years:
43 And now, I will show unto you a parable, that you may know my will concerning the redemption of Zion.
44 A certain nobleman had a spot of land, very choice; and he said unto his servants: Go ye unto my vineyard, even upon this very choice piece of land, and plant twelve olive trees;
45 And set watchmen round about them, and build a tower, that one may overlook the land round about, to be a watchman upon the tower, that mine olive trees may not be broken down when the enemy shall come to spoil and take upon themselves the fruit of my vineyard.
46 Now, the servants of the nobleman went and did as their lord commanded them, and planted the olive trees, and built a hedge round about, and set watchmen, and began to build a tower.
47 And while they were yet laying the foundation thereof, they began to say among themselves: And what need hath my lord of this tower?
48 And consulted for a long time, saying among themselves: What need hath my lord of this tower, seeing this is a time of peace?
49 Might not this money be given to the exchangers? For there is no need of these things.
50 And while they were at variance one with another they became very slothful, and they hearkened not unto the commandments of their lord.
51 And the enemy came by night, and broke down the hedge; and the servants of the nobleman arose and were affrighted, and fled; and the enemy destroyed their works, and broke down the olive trees.
52 Now, behold, the nobleman, the lord of the vineyard, called upon his servants, and said unto them, Why! what is the cause of this great evil?
53 Ought ye not to have done even as I commanded you, and—after ye had planted the vineyard, and built the hedge round about, and set watchmen upon the walls thereof—built the tower also, and set a watchman upon the tower, and watched for my vineyard, and not have fallen asleep, lest the enemy should come upon you?
54 And behold, the watchman upon the tower would have seen the enemy while he was yet afar off; and then ye could have made ready and kept the enemy from breaking down the hedge thereof, and saved my vineyard from the hands of the destroyer.
55 And the lord of the vineyard said unto one of his servants: Go and gather together the residue of my servants, and take all the strength of mine house, which are my warriors, my young men, and they that are of middle age also among all my servants, who are the strength of mine house, save those only whom I have appointed to tarry;
56 And go ye straightway unto the land of my vineyard, and redeem my vineyard; for it is mine; I have bought it with money.
57 Therefore, get ye straightway unto my land; break down the walls of mine enemies; throw down their tower, and scatter their watchmen.
58 And inasmuch as they gather together against you, avenge me of mine enemies, that by and by I may come with the residue of mine house and possess the land.
59 And the servant said unto his lord: When shall these things be?
60 And he said unto his servant: When I will; go ye straightway, and do all things whatsoever I have commanded you;
61 And this shall be my seal and blessing upon you—a faithful and wise steward in the midst of mine house, a ruler in my kingdom.
62 And his servant went straightway, and did all things whatsoever his lord commanded him; and after many days all things were fulfilled.
63 Again, verily I say unto you, I will show unto you wisdom in me concerning all the churches, inasmuch as they are willing to be guided in a right and proper way for their salvation—
64 That the work of the gathering together of my saints may continue, that I may build them up unto my name upon holy places; for the time of harvest is come, and my word must needs be fulfilled.
65 Therefore, I must gather together my people, according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory, when I shall come in the kingdom of my Father to reward every man according as his work shall be;
66 While the tares shall be bound in bundles, and their bands made strong, that they may be burned with unquenchable fire.
I would like have those who said and did harsh things explain why they were weak and come forward with a little balm to spread on that wound. The truth is slowly coming out - and those who resisted, will be vindicated.
