Alma ch.32:21 and 34:34

21. And now as I said concerning faith-faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.
34. Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.

BE CLEAN!

Helaman 4:24

And they saw that they had become weak, like unto the Lamanites, and that the Spirit of the Lord did no more preserve them; yea, it had withdrawn from them because the Spirit of the Lord doth not dwell in unholy Temples.

oooooooo!!!! This means that any body who is not clean and disobeys the Lord, does not have the Holy Ghost with them, but that's OK, because you can always repent.

2nd Nephi 9:52

Behold, my beloved brethern, remember the words of your God; pray unto him continually by day, and give thanks unto his holy name by night. Let your hearts rejoice."

OK, so I know that this is an old scripture from when we just started reading, but I just love this scripture, its always with me. (well maybe because my mom recites this to me evreyday) Well, anyways this is a great scripture to have with you everyday, because without knowing God is there and without praying to him everyday, I do not know if life would be as easy as it is.

Love,

Mosiah 18:21

And he commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards another.

I love this chapter - Alma the Elder was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! In this chapter he baptised about 200 people who heard him preach and believed in what he said and wanted to be baptised. How intense is that?!? Anyway - I like this verse especially because this is how we as members of the church (and as humans in general) should treat each other. There should be no contention and we should have our hearts knit together in unity and L-O-V-E each other! I love you my BEEHIVES! You girls are the greatest!!!

Jacob 4:6

"Wherefore, we search the prophets, and we have many revelations and the spirit of prophecy; and having all these witnesses we obtain a hope, and our faith becometh unshaken, insomuch that we truly can command in the name of Jesus and the very trees obey us, or the mountains, or the waves of the sea."


I was looking back at some of the things I had highlighted in my Book of Mormon, and I came across this verse not knowing if it was me or my aunt(who gave me my scriptures)was the one who highlighted it. But it looked pretty good to me and so I read it and thought about it and I thought how true this verse is...I mean if we really do just listen to the prophet, we do obtain a hope and have unshaken faith and have so much power to do what is right and I just love it!

Alma 7:23-24

23. And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patienceand long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temperal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do recieve.
24. And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works.

Mosiah 4:30

But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts and your words, and your deeds and observe the commandments of God, and continue in the faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, ye must perish. And now, O man, remember, and perish not.

This has ALWAYS been one of my favorite scriptures. I love King Benjamin's address to his people. He has a lot of great stuff to say, but I really like this one. I like that we need to watch what we think - that is the first step. If we think nice things then we will do and say nice things. I know that is sometimes easier said than done, but if we can remember this scripture then we will be able to apply it to our lives :)
