Come, See and Hear ~

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, "We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophetspastorsteachersevangelists, and so forth." (Articles of Faith. # 6)
This photo above is our Prophet, President Russell M. Nelson in the center with his First Councilor, President Dallin H. Oaks and 2nd Councilor, President Henry B. Eyring. Then we have our 12 Apostles. 1st row sitting; Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Elder Jeffery R. Holland, Elder M. Russel Ballard, Elder David A. Bednar, Elder Quentin L.Cook, and Elder D.Todd Christopherson. 2nd-row standing is Elder Gary E. Stevenson, Elder Ronald A. Rasband, Elder Neil L. Andersen, Elder Dale G. Renlund, Elder Gerritt W. Gong and Elder Ulisses Soares. 
"We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof." (Articles of Faith #5.)
These men are Prophet, Seers, and Revelators that hold the keys given to Peter from Christ and restored to the Prophet Joseph Smith by Peter, James and John when the church was restored in these the Latter days
This weekend the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will hold their Semi-Annual General Conference. Here we will listen to all of these brethren and other General leaders of the church. We look forward to these messages which will lead, guide and direct our more than 16 million members of the church worldwide. 
"We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God."( Articles of Faith # 9 )



Here is a video of their testimony of the Living Christ~

Here is the information for viewing General Conference on Saturday, April 6th and Sunday, April 7th. Come, See and Listen to a Prophets voice and hear the word of God. 

Our conferences are a wonderful experience. We hear from our leaders the messages that they have been guided through the spirit to give. As we listen to their words we can also receive revelation for our own lives. Each conference we have exciting changes that have come about through direct revelation from our Savior, Jesus Christ to our Prophet and Apostles. We believe that Jesus Christ is the head of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 
 We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. (Articles of Faith#1.) You can find all of the Articles of Faith here.
I bare my own testimony that we have a living Prophet in our day. President Russell M. Nelson. We have Apostles today that travel the world and bare testimony of our living and divine Redeemer, Jesus Christ. 
I know that we have a loving Heavenly Father who cares for all of His Spirit children on this earth. He wants us all to return and live again with Him some day. He has provided that way through the Glorious Plan of Salvation. We have the Anointed One who came to earth to show us the way and then went through the Atonement in Gethsemane, the Crucifixion on Golgotha  and the Resurrection from the  Garden tomb for all of us. As we follow the Savior and repent and are baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and other ordinances of salvation; we can return and live with Them again. A  way has been provided for all of God's children to hear this plan and choose their path whether in this earthly life or in the Spirit World.
 I know the scriptures are true. We believe in the Old and New Testament . We believe in The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the the dealings of God with the inhabitants of Ancient America. As you commit to read this book and pray about it; you too can receive a witness that it is true. 
We have other scriptures that have come forth since the restoration; they are the Doctrine and Covenants and The Pearl Of Great Price. 
I invite you to come and listen to the Conference addresses and the beautiful music by the Tabernacle Choir and then pray about what you hear and if you pray with real intent you will receive a witness of the truths spoken.
