Solid Foundations of Faith

Faith is a vary personal things – between you and your GOD! You know because you know but GOD’S ways are not always man’s ways, his are so much higher and better than our ways… so beware what you believe…

1 – Love is the foundation of all Good things 

Love of God – Man – truth – freedom – hope – Eternal Lives as families –

On this lies all the Prophets and Promises of eternal Lives – the Gods are we know them are not single – they need a wife if not wives… ( Plural Marriage etc. ) This is shocker for most people…study what Joseph Smith said on this subject – it’s alwarming, to say the least…

So GOD’S love and ways are not what man’s way are – they are higher….

Matt. 22

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt ^alove the Lord thy God with all thy ^bheart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy ^cmind.

38 This is the first and great ^acommandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt ^alove thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the ^alaw and the prophets.

His Virtue is above ours too – what an understatement…

2 – Virtue – The promise is if we desire and love virtue – than as we live with it – our confidence will wax strong in the presence of the Lord and he will be a constant companion – an everlasting dominion – this righteousness will flow to us in ever increasing amounts – forever..

Doctrine and Covenants 121 

44 That he may know that thy faithfulness is stronger than the cords of ^adeath.

45 Let thy ^abowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let ^bvirtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy ^cconfidence wax strong in the ^dpresence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the ^edews from heaven.

46 The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant ^acompanion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of ^brighteousness and truth; and thy ^cdominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever.

3 – Humility – Doctrine and Covenants 112

If we are humble and faithful – God will answer our prayers – according to his will and time..

4- Faithful in all things – with this comes an unrelenting determination to do God’s will over your own – not easy to do –

Doctrine and Covenants 84 

79 Behold, I ^asend you out to ^bprove the world, and the laborer is worthy of his ^chire.

80 And any man that shall go and preach this ^agospel of the kingdom, and fail not to continue ^bfaithful in all things, shall not be weary in mind, neither darkened, neither in body, limb, nor joint; and a ^chair of his head shall not fall to the ground unnoticed. And they shall not go hungry, neither athirst.

81 Therefore, take ye no ^athought for the morrow, for what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, or wherewithal ye shall be clothed.

82 For, ^aconsider the ^blilies of the field, how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin; and the kingdoms of the world, in all their glory, are not arrayed like one of these.

83 For your ^aFather, who is in heaven, ^bknoweth that you have need of all these things.

84 Therefore, let the morrow take ^athought for the things of itself.

85 Neither take ye thought beforehand ^awhat ye shall say; but ^btreasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be ^cgiven you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man.

86 Therefore, let no man among you, for this commandment is unto all the ^afaithful who are called of God in the church unto the ministry, from this hour take purse or scrip, that goeth forth to proclaim this gospel of the kingdom.

87 Behold, I send you out to ^areprove the world of all their unrighteous deeds, and to teach them of a judgment which is to come.

88 And whoso ^areceiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go ^bbefore your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my ^cSpirit shall be in your hearts, and mine ^dangels round about you, to bear you up.

5 – With faithfulness comes “Diligence” unwavering steadfastness of Godliness and Righteousness – Holiness…

Doctrine and Covenants 103

36 All victory and glory is brought to pass unto you through your ^adiligence, faithfulness, and ^bprayers of faith.

I say unto you ALL Victory is brought to pass through diligence, faithfulness, and prayers of faith etc.   BE MINDFUL OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES IN ZION!

6 – Revelation and knowing – that what you are doing is pleasing in the sight of God almighty! ( Learn and Obey Law of Sacrifice! )

From the lectures on faith – Part 6 ( By revelation you must know these things – from deepest part of your soul! )

https://lecturesonfaith.com/6/

For from the first existence of man, the faith necessary unto the enjoyment of life and salvation never could be obtained without the sacrifice of all earthly things: it was through this sacrifice, and this only, that God has ordained that men should enjoy eternal life; and it is through the medium of the sacrifice of all earthly things, that men do actually know that they are doing the things that are well pleasing in the sight of God. 

When a man has offered in sacrifice all that he has, for the truth’s sake, not even withholding his life, and believing before God that he has been called to make this sacrifice, because he seeks to do his will, he does know most assuredly, that God does and will accept his sacrifice and offering, and that he has not nor will not seek his face in vain. Under these circumstances, then, he can obtain the faith necessary for him to lay hold on eternal life.
