In the days of Christ and his apostles it was common to see the gifts of the Spirit and of the Priesthood of God in action. In fact, it was so powerful and impressive that Simon approached the Lord’s chosen representatives in an attempt to buy their same power. The result, of course, is that he was told his money will perish with him because the power of the priesthood is not for sale at any price. (More …)

I know that God lives – because I see and feel His influence in every moment of my life!I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior – because through the Atonement, I right my wrongs to feel clean again; my heart is healed; my mind is clear and free from worry and fear; I can use my body to serve and uplift those around me.
I know that Jesus Christ showed the WAY and is the LIGHT of the world – because of the way He leads MY life and guides me through the darkness into a ever-brighter life of LIGHT and LOVE.
I know that the Priesthood is the POWER of GOD – because I have witnessed and felt its’ holy power in my life through healing and comfort, guidance and direction.
I know that Joseph Smith, through the power of the Priesthood, restored the Gospel of Jesus Christ – because I have visited the Sacred Grove, I have prayed about Joseph’s experience and I KNOW, undeniably, that he saw GOD the Father and Jesus Christ; that he translated the Book of Mormon into a language we could study and understand; that he gave his life in defense of the Kingdom of God.
I know that I can be together with my family for ALL ETERNITY – because I have made sacred covenants in the holy temple, GOD’s HOUSE, and I diligently strive to keep those covenants each day. When I make mistakes and fall short of the covenants I’ve made to be a disciple of Jesus, I know that through the Atonement and GOD’s loving mercy, I can be made whole again – physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.
I know we are guided and directed by living prophets – because I have the Spirit testify to ME every time I hear the prophet and apostles’ words. I know it is TRUE!
I love the gospel of Jesus Christ with all my heart! I know that it is the ONLY way to have true happiness and peace in this life and the life to come. There are many ways that bring happiness nevertheless this is the BETTER PART. In the name of Jesus Christ, AMEN!
