Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
He, Jesus, knew how much the Jews valued their prophecies and lineages. This was a way for Him to confirm to them who He was.
The Book of Mormon: 3 Nephi 19:1 - 29
What most impresses me today is the subject of prayer. In particular these subjects:
1. The Nephites prayed before and after the sermons given by the Twelve disciples.
2. The Nephites/Disciples prayed directly to Jesus
3. Jesus stepped away more than once to pray to God His Father
4. Those who prayed were given the words they should speak in their prayers.
- And they were filled with desire
5. When they first prayed, once Jesus was with them, it was for what they most desired: the Holy Ghost.
- We desire the Holy Ghost because He will bring the gifts of faith, hope, and charity, which we so desperately need.
- I desire the Gift of Wise Speech. I desire to say only those words that Jesus would use.
- What are the things He would say to lift others? (And for me to not try and aggrandize myself)
- Does each habit align with a Gift of the Spirit?
- Does each Gift prepare me to better serve in the Kingdom of God. If not, I want to forgo that thing.
