Faith in Jesus Christ is the Greatest Power Available

"Faith in Jesus Christ is the greatest power available to us in this life. All things are possible to them that believe." (President Russell M. Nelson, "Christ Is Risen; Faith in Him Will Move Mountains", April 2021)

Obedience Born of Faith in God

"Faith in the Lord can help us live the commandments with a willing heart and receive countless blessings." ("Obedience Born of Faith in God, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball, Chapter 13")

Faith in Jesus Christ

“There is only One in whom your faith is always safe, and that is in the Lord Jesus Christ.” (President Russell M. Nelson, “Let Your Faith Show”, April 2014)

Your Mind is a Cupboard

I remember Thomas S. Monson saying the following quote years ago in General Conference. Let us remember this in our daily lives.

I like this thought: “Your mind is a cupboard, and you stock the shelves.” Let us make certain that our cupboard shelves, and those of our family members, are stocked with the things which will provide safety to our souls and enable us to return to our Father in Heaven. Such shelves could well be stocked with gospel scholarship, faith, prayer, love, service, obedience, example, and kindness." 

(Thomas S. Monson, "Constant Truths for Changing Times", April 2005)

We Are Not Alone & Bear Up Their Burdens with Ease

“We are not and never need be alone. We can press forward in our daily lives with heavenly help.” (Elder David A. Bednar, “Bear Up Their Burdens with Ease", April 2014)

The story in this General Conference talk is one that I remember in Elder Bednar's talk. We are never alone. Our Heavenly Father will help us in all that we do. Pray, prayer is the answer. It may not come right away but it will sometime even it it takes years. Let us learn from those experiences we may have when our answers to our prayers do come. If it doesn't then there is a reason. Let us be strong and remember Our Heavenly Father loves us no matter what.

Testify of Our Faith

“Our lives should be a confession of Christ, and together with our words testify of our faith in and devotion to Him.” (Elder D. Todd Christofferson, “Saving Your Life”, September 14, 2014)

Joseph B. Wirthlin talks about faith. He reads Hebrews 11:1.

("Shall He Find Faith on the Earth?," October 2002)

Faith - Alma 32:21

“If ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.”—Alma 32:21

Here is the entire scripture from the Book of Mormon

"And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye bhope for things which are not seen, which are true."

Be Faithful, Not Faithless

"We must deliberately take time each day to disconnect from the world and connect with heaven." (Stephen W. Owen,  "Be Faithful, Not Faithless" , October 2019)

Faith Is Not by Chance, but by Choice

In the conference talk, Faith Is Not by Chance, but by Choice talks about faith and the importance of it. It is is found in July 13-19 Come, Follow Me Lesson, Alma 32-35. "Faith in Jesus Christ is a gift from heaven that comes as we choose to believe and as we seek it and hold on to it." (Neil L. Andersen, "Faith Is Not by Chance, but by Choice", October 2015)

This scripture is found in July 13-19 lesson. It is found on the bottom of the page with a beautiful image of a tree with fruit.

“Because of your diligence and your faith and your patience with the word in nourishing it, … behold, by and by ye shall pluck the fruit thereof, which is most precious” (Alma 32:42).

Faith Songs

Here are some faith songs that you can watch. You can sing a long with the video if you like.

Faith - October 2019 General Conference

True to the Faith - October 2019 General Conference

Faith - the Choice Is Yours

On May 1st I found a General Conference talk titled Faith - the Choice Is Yours that given by Richard C. Edgley. He said, "Choose faith over doubt, choose faith over fear, choose faith over the unknown and the unseen, and choose faith over pessimism."

Let Your Faith Show

On this sabbath morning, in a time of the coronavirus, we never know what kinds of things we will see or read while we are about our every day lives. When I was on Facebook this morning, someone had shared a video of President Russell M. Nelson. Men's Hearts Shall Fail Them was the video that was shared.  (Added 9/19/20) I forgot to add that this is a story of a woman that was scared they were going to crash because of the airplane engine had failed. Read or listen the story from the link or videos on this page.

(Updated 9/19/20) Let Your Faith Show might be the talk I was thinking of that he gave when I watched the first video but it wasn't. As you know, when you hear certain stories, those stories stay in your mind as if they were only yesterday. It is just like life, you remember certain things and they stay in your head forever.

We must have faith. Faith that this pandemic will be removed from this Earth. Faith that we can bear whatever comes to us in our daily lives. Faith that Jesus is the Christ. Faith that we are loved. Faith that our Heavenly Father and Jesus love us. Faith to live in this world today. Our Heavenly Father loves us and we can make it through whatever is placed before us. Have faith. Be strong.

D&C 25:2

In Doctrine and Covenants 25:2 it reads, "A revelation I give unto you concerning my will; and if thou art faithful and walk in the paths of virtue before me, I will preserve thy life, and thou shalt receive an inheritance in Zion." There is a footnote for the word "walk". It is found in Deuteronomy 30:16. There is also one for the words "virtue" and "inheritance". Go to Doctrine and Covenants 25:2 to find those footnotes and continue to learn more of the meaning of those words.

We need to keep all of the commandments of Our Heavenly Father. We need to live righteous lives so we can be worthy of all the blessings he has in store for us. If we live virtuous lives we will be able to feel the Holy Ghost and know what Our Heavenly Father wants us to do. It is those small thoughts we get everyday that will help us know what the Holy Ghost wants us to do. We may think it is our own thoughts but most of the time it is really the Holy Ghost. Make time to have quiet moments without any distraction so you can hear the promptings of the Holy Ghost.

As I think about the Holy Ghost, it reminds me a song I learned in Primary years ago. It is called The Still Small Voice. What a powerful song! You can listen to this song at the church website.

How You Deal With Life's Trials - Russell M. Nelson

How you deal with life’s trials is part of the development of your faith. Strength comes when you remember that you have a divine nature, an inheritance of infinite worth. (Russell M. Nelson, “Face the Future with Faith”, April 2011).

Spiritual Treasures and President Nelson's Challenge

President Russell M. Nelson gave the women of the church a challenge to do before the next conference. It was his talk at the Women's Session of General Conference in October 2019 "As you exercise faith in the Lord and His priesthood power, your ability to draw upon this spiritual treasure that the Lord has made available will increase." He gave some powerful words in this talk. He talked about Joseph Smith and the restoration of the priesthood power. He also talked about Emma Smith, Joseph Smith wife. This is part of what he said to the women, "The Lord instructed Emma to expound the scriptures, to exhort the Church, to receive the Holy Ghost, and to spend her time 'learning much.' Emma was also counseled to “lay aside the things of this world and seek for the things of a better” and to hold fast to her covenants with God. The Lord concluded His instruction with these compelling words: 'This is my voice unto all.' ”

You can read and hear his talk at Spiritual Treasures. This is also the talk that President Nelson announced eight new temples around the world to only the women of church. Yes, to the women of the church. We must be very important to our Heavenly Father and our prophet. They love us very much.

Here are the challenges. Every member can take upon them these challenges that President Nelson gave the women.

1. "I invite you to study prayerfully section 25 of the Doctrine and Covenants and discover what the Holy Ghost will teach you."

2. "I entreat you to study prayerfully all the truths you can find about priesthood power. You might begin with Doctrine and Covenants sections 84 and 107. Those sections will lead you to other passages."

Faith: Alma 32:21

"And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." (Alma 32:21)

Be of Good Cheer - President Thomas S. Monson

Here is a picture quote I created from a website.

"Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith." (President Thomas S. Monson, “Be of Good Cheer”, April 2009)

Here is another picture quote that makes it more personalized.
