To David thanks for sharing this post. As an Australia, I woke up this morning to read the headlines of the paper, it read: "US Supreme Court quashes law denying benefits to gay couples, clears gay marriage path in California" What a joke, I love America but I hate your government. Sadly enough it probably won't be long before Australia follows suit but we are fighting.

We plant their seeds in the field. I am one who likes to amplify their teachings continually as an extension of their voice to the saints and to the world. <br /><br /><br />As I was reading this article, Mr. Goates, I also was thinking about earlier dispensations and chaotic times of apostasy when people forsook to give heed to the living prophets. The LORD was mad not only eradicated the wicked but he also took away our teachers and closed the ears, eyes and mouths of the prophets. But in these latter days we are very privileges because, and the LORD is gracious, because even though here and there, individually or collectively, we enter into degree of apostasy for our own peril and destruction, our leaders will continue to remain intact. And this surety I have received from the LORD and from the scriptures which say that our teachers will not be taken away or removed unto a corner anymore. Here is the scripture:<br /><br />“And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem : thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:”<br /><br />(Old Testament | Isaiah 30:18 - 20)<br /><br />Thank you for planting this seed in me ELDER Goates. <br /><br />Miguel Angel Tinoco Rod-Tree-Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888033428629247970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370511552390871439.post-90025149613910466602013-06-18T20:43:53.347-06:002013-06-18T20:43:53.347-06:00This article, blog or speech is a true gem.
This ...This article, blog or speech is a true gem. <br />This article, blog or speech is a true gem. <br />Father in heaven, please forgive me for I have sinned. I have found the missing piece lacking in my testimony or the element of my faith that I had not understood clearly until today. I am thankful to the man who posted this article and to the man who produced it under the inspiration of heaven. Please bless them utmost and glory be to your Holy name oh GOD. <br />Up to this day, I may have been a 90%ish latter day saint but for the LORD that was not good enough. He wants a 100% conversion. I confess that since 2005 up to this day, I did not always like the talks of some of our leaders below the first presidency because of my distrust in the arm of flesh and because of my zeal for the LORD when I am on his errand. Before that I did dislike them completely because the prophets pierced my heart with the truth, but I never criticized them. <br />If I was given the test or choice to obey GOD or the High Priest, like most of you my brethren, I would not hesitate to obey the LORD my GOD. The only problem with that is that his word must come thru the proper channels. But is that what he wants for me and all members of this church? <br />I admit that I have had some minor clashes with some of the members of the first presidency in certain situations that I did not understand. I have also thrown from time to time discretionary daggers of rhetoric at them as Jonathan to David in times of peril, but only as directed by the LORD. After all, by law we are only required to give strict heed to the voice of the first presidency. There is wisdom in that. I just cannot understand why I cannot talk to them or them to me as I talk to GOD specially when I need them. It looks that they are always too busy to give heed to my concerns. And the parts that I have not liked are proof to my heart that the word is good, because I did not like it, an indication of the prevalent impurity of my heart that until today I had not seen. But I am a striving soul, and I have been searching for that dirt. I have felt that fire of divinity of our leaders but I have failed to adjudicate the channels of inspiration properly to them. Now I have said the above things as a prayer or reflection. <br />Today, I ate the bread of affliction, U asked the LORD in fervent prayer why he commissioned to work alone. And why almost nobody will answer my blogs as I do answer blogs, comments and what not. Right or wrong, I am available to all. What is wrong with me? Am I too wild or crazy to the people because of my lack of academic formation or education? Why those in authority will not say if I am right or wrong so I can amend my ways and polish my corners with them. Am I so unworthy? So the LORD heard my prayer and sent Apostle or President LEE to me some twenty years before or about when I was born, with a message that just reached me today. And I am thankful for the answer of the LORD. I know I have some catch up to do. <br />Miguel Angel Tinoco Rod-Tree-Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888033428629247970noreply@blogger.com
