Chief Judges and the Devolution of Nephite Government

Last updated on: November 9, 2024 at 4:14 pm By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

Repeatedly reminded by prophetic voices over the past year that the Book of Mormon, written for our day, is a witness and warning, I decided to track the reign of chief judges to watch for governmental strength and weakness. I learned that freedom was constantly under fire by power-hungry opponents. The insatiable quest for power and authority caused the ultimate devolution of the Nephite government and complete destruction of its civilization. The Reign of Chief Judges Mosiah changed the system... Read more

Accessing the Lord in Mighty Prayer

Last updated on: October 29, 2024 at 12:20 pm By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

After Jesus first ministered to the people in 3 Nephi (11-26), His disciples journeyed to preach His word throughout the land. 3 Nephi 27:1 records that while journeying and preaching, “the disciples were gathered together and were united in mighty prayer and fasting.” Then Jesus again showed himself unto them, for they were praying unto the Father in his name; and Jesus came and stood in the midst of them, and said unto them: What will ye that I shall give unto you? Mighty prayer... Read more

Resisting the Fiery Darts of the Adversary

Last updated on: October 28, 2024 at 11:59 am By Delisa Hargrove

When I was little, my family lived on a farm in southeastern Arizona. One day, my brother and I left the house on a quest, aka a little walk “around” the farm. I wasn’t quite five, and Donovan wasn’t quite two. We didn’t move quickly or very far down the dirt road in the hot sun before our little bodies needed a rest. We found a nice little dirt mound by the side of the road and sat down. Within... Read more

Such then is our need for a Redeemer For a few moments, as we contemplate our need for a Redeemer and Jesus Christ’s suffering for each of us, I hope we can feel the Spirit giving hope and peace to our hearts and understand even more deeply how to know and worship our Savior. Before we came to earth, we lived as spirit children with our Heavenly Parents. Our Heavenly Father wanted us to be able to progress and become... Read more

Russell M. Nelson’s ‘The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again’

Last updated on: October 8, 2024 at 11:28 am By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

After President Russell M. Nelson announced 17 new temples, I sat riveted on every word of his October 2024 conference talk, ‘The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again,’ as he repeatedly declared that now is the time to prepare for Jesus Christ’s Second Coming. The Church hasn’t published conference transcripts yet, but I’ve listened to the talk multiple times since Sunday and transcribed parts I’ve incorporated into my scripture study. Words in italics are direct quotes. The Lord Jesus Christ... Read more

The Destroyer that Is Sent from God

Last updated on: October 1, 2024 at 12:51 pm By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

One of the most prominent promises for wearing the temple garment is to avoid the power of the destroyer. Initially, I assumed that “destroyer” meant the adversary, Satan. Then one day while serving as an ordinance worker in initiatories, a new thought dramatically changed my mind. While pronouncing the blessings of being clothed in the holy garment, my mind flashed to the Passover story in Exodus 11. 4 And Moses said, Thus saith the Lord, About midnight will I go out into...

Stickers Point to the Lord’s Promised Protection

Last updated on: September 28, 2024 at 5:51 pm By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

Scripture contains several variations on a theme about the Lord providing protection. An accumulation of stickers taught me about that promised protection. Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper (Doctrine and Covenants 71:9) Versions of that promise occur in the Bible, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants. I’ve often wondered how that could or would apply to me. Yesterday as I concluded my walk around the neighborhood, I discovered... Read more

The Risk-Averse German Shepherd

Last updated on: September 23, 2024 at 10:28 am By Delisa Hargrove

At the tail-end of my daily walk, I turned from the road onto the alley that connects my subdivision to the one I was in. I saw a construction crew building a large workshop midway down the alley. Then suddenly, a German shepherd darted onto the alley. I paused to gauge intent. I decided I didn’t need to fear her and preferred walking the alley rather than walking an extra mile the long way around. The dog stopped, glancing back... Read more

Kyla Bushman | Dare to Stand Alone

Last updated on: September 14, 2024 at 9:24 am By Delisa Hargrove

My niece, Kyla Bushman, recently shared some thoughts about daring to stand alone and standing up for what she believes. I’m so impressed by her determination to attend the temple every Friday morning with her dad and sister, Bailey. Kyla’s always been such a strong young lady, but her habit of attending the temple weekly has increased her strength and courage to trust in the Lord’s guidance for her life.

Destruction Made Sure or Calling and Election Made Sure

Last updated on: September 14, 2024 at 8:08 am By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

The phrase made sure always catches my attention in scripture. The Lord promises that our exaltation can be made sure. Prophets, like Samuel the Lamanite, promise that spiritual and/or physical destruction can be made sure, too. Isaiah 22:21-25 paints the image of the Messiah being fastened as a nail in the sure place. 21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to...
