Folks, I think I just had the best two days of my life.
I was able to spend the first half of yesterday with my family and then the second half with a special family that invited us over for Conference supper and Priesthood session. This family is awake and is aware of and possessing of the gifts of God, as we are supposed to be. They have largely been unsullied from the world - the entire family. It is a sight to behold. There is nothing more impressive to me than a family who is completely bound by righteous living of good principle.
I had the privilege of spending the afternoon Friday doing baptisms with their family in the temple and proxy baptizing most of the grand kids as Grandpa had injured his shoulder. What a special bunch! I am already plotting how to marry my kids into that line.... :) Truly some of the best blood I have been able to find - who are among the elect the Lord has chosen to hide away for His purposes at a future time (picture Jacob 5 and the grafting allegory). The Lord will raise a righteous seed and bring them into the Millennium. There is one way to get there and one way only...... It will be through a constriction - and few there will be that will find it and make it through it. I mentioned in an earlier blog piece that Isaiah mentions the Holy Seed and that it will constitute about 10 percent of those who survive what is coming. I have a confirmation of this number from a highly credible source, that this will indeed be the case. Many will not make it who are approved - but it is not their time to move forward on this earth.
Many will do just fine - but they must be able to follow the Spirit and exercise those gifts until they have successfully "threaded the needle". There will be many who will throw up impediments to their progress, but God, who sees all, will allow them to see one step ahead and stay out of harm's way. There are many wolves in sheep's clothing whose desire it is to devour and derail those on their special journey. God will deliver clearing moves that will remove the wicked from their paths, as they utilize their Priesthood as President Nelson admonished - with power and in righteousness. This is the heritage of the elect of God.
So excited for today. To hear more counsel and to feel the Spirit in spades. I dare say, there has never been a more exciting time to be alive! Spiritually speaking, we are in the final stretch and just need to pay attention and be awake and heed the voices of the Prophet and a majority of God's chosen servants. I had the Spirit witness again during last night's Priesthood session. Great things lie just ahead!
By the end of the last conference session, most of my family were just crying for joy. We joined together in a thankful prayer offered by my aging father. It occurred to me that the details of the revelations, callings and changes would seem of little consequence to most in the world, but that latter day saints felt the power of it all. We were changed as well. Makes me feel akin to those earlier Saints participating in the dedication of the Kirtland temple. My faith is strengthened and I am thrilled to try and strengthen others in anticipation of the changes which are soon to come to this land.
