Dreams, Scriptures & Insight for Our Day!

I accidentally left out a clip of this video, so I included it in a separate video down below. Would love to hear your thoughts and any additional insight you have on the topics in the video. So much to ponder! 💛

This weekend I plan to add some more posts to this blog related to this video, check back later!

Coming into the Promised Land!

Let's compare what's going on here in America with the Passover, Exodus, and entry into the Promised Land. Also there's a Noah comparison to be talked about. Things are bad, and will get worse before the Savior comes, but the good news is that he is coming and things will get better!

A Message of Most Importance!

Last night as I was on the treadmill, this conference video of President Nelson popped up and it really spoke to me as I had been reflecting on a new video I had just made about what happens after we die. These words particularly jumped out at me as I listened.

"The spirit in each of us naturally yearns for family love to last forever. Love songs perpetuate a false hope that love is all you need if you want to be together forever. And some erroneously believe that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ provides a promise that all people will be with their loved ones after death.

In truth, the Savior Himself has made it abundantly clear that while His Resurrection assures that every person who ever lived will indeed be resurrected and live forever, much more is required if we want to have the high privilege of exaltation. Salvation is an individual matter, but exaltation is a family matter.

Listen to these words spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ to His prophet: “All covenants, contracts, bonds, obligations, oaths, vows, performances, connections, associations, or expectations, that are not made and entered into and sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise … are of no efficacy, virtue, or force in and after the resurrection from the dead; for all contracts that are not made unto this end have an end when men are dead.”

So, what is required for a family to be exalted forever? We qualify for that privilege by making covenants with God, keeping those covenants, and receiving essential ordinances.

I feel to say to my reticent friends:

'In this life, you have never settled for second best in anything. Yet, as you resist fully embracing the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, you are choosing to settle for second best.

“The Savior said, ‘In my Father’s house are many mansions.’10 However, as you choose not to make covenants with God, you are settling for a most meager roof over your head throughout all eternity.'"

I absolutely love this talk and feel it is one of the most important messages we could be sharing right now with our friends, loved ones, and the world!

We Wrestle Not With Flesh and Blood...

 This might be the longest one yet! I had a lot of challenges in getting it published. My laptop just wouldn't allow the video to upload to YouTube. It's quite a bit, but hope there's something that speaks to you all. ❤️

Lifting America's Prophetic Veil

My friend Dr. Lynn Ridenhour (the Baptist minister who loves the Book of Mormon), gave a wonderful sermon last month. This entire week I've been pondering some numbers and it seems like left and right things keep popping up for me, that make certain pondering subjects a little more clear.

I'm not sure how I missed this video until today, but I just had to share it (see video below - it looks like an ad but it's a video). This is the kind of enthusiasm, passion, and bridge building Lynn will be bringing to the Christ Power Event next month at Weber State. This truly is his calling. I loved when he talked about the number 13, and it's connection to unity and the 13 tribes of Israel. Now when I see 113, I'm going to think of 13 tribes (Ephraim and Mennasseh replacing Joseph) becoming one 1-13. Truly we are all Israel and come from Hebrew heritage. When I made this connection, I looked down at Lynn's video and there was my number. ❤️ What a witness!

Keep My Channel in Your Prayers!

Please keep my channel in your prayers. YouTube continues to disable comments on my videos. I have been talking back and forth with their customer service and have had an open case for over a month now. As I check in daily for updates I am told, "we are still looking into it" and that a team has been actively trying to figure out why all my videos have been blocked for commenting. Should be a simple fix. My views have dropped 87% in the last 30 days. I believe that my channel is being censored.

Shifting Your Paradigm!




As I was short on time (though it was a long video) with this week's livestream, I left out a few things that I had wanted to share in this video message. So, I thought I would share them here in a blog post.

First off, YouTube has again disabled my comments - as soon as this video was finished live-streaming. That tells me that certain words will tag a video and and put an instant block on the comments. This video was all about unity among Christians in America. I have been emailing back and forth with YouTube over the past few weeks about this issue and the customer service reps who have been handling my case, say they are confused as to why this is happening to me. They agree that my channel is not breaking any rules or at risk in any way, however they aren't getting answers from the people at the top, so we are just waiting it out. It's the comment section that allows us to connect and have conversations about these important topics. The Adversary does not want us having these conversations. He wants to silence our voices. Please keep my videos and channel in your prayers!

Pictures

Because I was rushed, I skipped over some important things in my video notes. The first thing I skipped over was the attack in New Zealand. I had shared in some of our groups, that when news first broke, immediately I heard in my mind, "Attacks on Christ's Church are coming!" A friend of mine messaged me shortly after and said that he felt that some kind of retaliation would be coming for Christian churches. I agreed. 

The following morning when I woke up, the latest headlines reported that two Latter-day Saint meeting houses has been set on fire in Christ Church, New Zealand.  I felt it was a confirmation and a witness that attacks are certainly coming for Christ's Church.

That same day, I saw that there had also been attacks on Israel and so Israel had struck back. There on the news post was that number attention grabbing number of mine, 113. I heard "pay attention". I happened to take a screen shot of this post at 11:30 - of course! 

In the video, I had mentioned a couple of images that didn't show up in my program as I was recording. I described them but decided to share them here as well. 

The first is the screenshot of the restaurant we were searching. 113 was all over the screen. Right after I took this screenshot, we saw the the license plate in front of us had 113 on it, and I showed that in the video. 

I had showed a screenshot of an ad for a workout ball with the number 311 on it. I realized after the livestream, that in the moment I had taken that screenshot, I had been worried about something and pondering over it. The word "workout" was for me. The Lord was near letting me know that everything was going to "workout" and not to worry.

Later there was some posts about attackers and pedophiles (wolves in sheep's clothing) being brought into the light and their masks pulled off. This post had 144 and 11 on it. Over the last few weeks there have been a lot of people close to my age and younger who have been whistleblowing their childhood sexual abusers and bringing it into the light. Some I have not met, but their stories have been all over the media. Others live in my community and I do know them. Many have been coming into my life and opening up to me about it. I feel that this is part of prep work for the 144,000. They must be healed and they must be made whole, so the Lord can use them. It is so important! 

Lastly, is the image that I mentioned about the solar storm. At the very bottom it mentions 333 and 11 manifesting. Isn't it interesting that this took place the week that I took all these screenshots and experienced all that craziness? But truth be told, I see these numbers all the time. I have been seeing them for about the last 2-3 years now. Maybe there has been an increase of solar activity happening during that duration. Either way, I'm paying attention. 

Yesterday was the Super Worm moon and I must say it was a wonderful day! I decided to ignore my phone until about 4:00 pm. Every call, message, text and email that came through - I paid it no attention. Instead, I spent time serving a neighbor, talking with the Lord, and sitting out in the sunshine with my toes in the grass. I cleaned my home, and made some delicious and healthy treats for my kids. When they got home from school we played outside together and enjoyed the treats. It was such a wonderful day! 

I learned that the worm moon represents the earthworms that come up during the spring equinox. Funny thing, this morning as we woke up to rain, I went outside and noticed earthworms all over the driveway and sidewalk. I smiled. 

Earthworms happen to symbolize digging deep in our subconscious mind and unearthing hidden memories, feelings, or desires and bringing them to the surface. These things can be beneficial for our growth, healing, and development. It represents a time of renewal and restoration. Being restored back to wholeness!

How fitting for what I just shared, right? And how fitting for spring time. 

Something I wanted to clarify since I can't leave comments on my videos, is about the analogy I had made about "what if everyone is right?" and the Big Bang Theory. I mentioned that maybe the Lord banged some things together to create our universe. What I meant by that is maybe speaking the beginning into existence resulted in an explosion. The elements responded to His word and reacted, and things began to form and take their proper place. He did everything through His word. Just wanted to add that.

When speaking about my Missouri experience, I mentioned in the video that things began to open up inside of me and little downloads of knowledge would go into my mind about each person I prayed for, so I knew exactly what to say. This happened all night on the first day, and we witnessed some incredible things!  I forgot to mention that the following morning Pastor Steve approached me with a twinkle in his eye and asked, "Had you ever done that before?" I replied, "No." and he chuckled and said, "I didn't think so." It was a witness for He and I that the Lord did something awesome that night, and it was something new. 


I shared a little bit about Marilyn and her husband and their awesome stories. They were hosting me in their home. I forgot to mention something neat that they shared. They belong to a break-off of the Community of Christ Church (RLDS). Marilyn had explained to me that many changes had taken place in their church since 1844 (when Brigham Young went west with the saints, and Joseph Smith's wife, mother, and children along with many others stayed behind). Those who stayed behind continued practicing their beliefs, doctrine, priesthood etc., and supported Jospeh Smith III to be the prophet's legitimate successor. 

With each change over the years, many people split off from the Reformed Latter-day Saint church forming new churches or a branches each time. In 1984 the first monumental change was announced which was the announcement of ordaining women to the priesthood. About half of the members left the church when this change occurred.

Marilyn said in 2013, the church began to ordain gay marriages. After that many more members left. She mentioned that now there is some kind of scuttle going on with how the church's finances have been handled and it might be the final straw that causes everything to crumble. Because of all of these changes, there are now many different smaller groups and churches who meet together. She said numbers have been dwindling in her small church as well. If I remember correctly she said they have 40 + members but only half come to church. 

Despite all of the drama of their past, Marilyn and her husband have been faithful to their beliefs and continue worshiping the Lord daily. She is the lady that prayed over a missing thumb and watched it grow back. Her husband is the patriarch of their church and while I was there he had been preparing and fasting to give a patriarchal blessing that coming Sunday. He had mentioned he was nervous because the sweet sister requesting the blessing was Catholic! He was looking forward to giving the blessing but nervous at the same time. 

He shared an incredible story about a debilitating depression that he was healed from three years ago. It was so bad, that he was admitted to a rehab facility and from there, experienced a downward spiral. Marilyn felt that if she didn't intervene her husband would soon die in that facility. She did all that she could and exercised faith and prayer and through a dangerous mistake that the staff made that almost cost her husband's life, they were able to bring him home. It was a bitter-sweet mercy from the Lord. 

Since that day Marilyn has helped her husband heal. He expressed how much he enjoys serving the people in their church. He takes his priesthood duties very seriously and carries around a bottle of anointing oil at all times. He is such a kind, gentle, and caring man and he and Marilyn have incredible faith! They walk in miracles daily, and experience wonderful manifestations of the Lord's presence. 

These are just some of the stories I learned about the many people I got to meet that weekend in Missouri. They all have different backgrounds, different stories, and operate in different spiritual gifts, but their faith and love for the Lord is all the same! Each of them is so eager to serve and bless all of God's children and I was so humbled when many of them offered to pray over and bless me in their different and unique ways. Some used oil, some spoke in tongues, some laid hands, some raised their hands heavenward - but all were united in faith and belief that the Lord was there and He was listening and answering!

It truly was an incredible weekend and I was so honored and humbled to be a part of it all. ❤️We are trying to raise funds so we can plan the next event and hopefully come to your city. Here is a link to our GoFundMe campaign - please support us and share!

Getting Ready...

It's really exciting to be a part of unity during this divisive time in our nation's history! We are gearing up to launch our Believers Building Bridges Tour in January 2019, in Branson Missouri.

Dr. Lynn Ridenhour, who founded this tour & movement has put together a video to better explain the purpose behind the tour and the vision. Our team consists of Pentecostals, Baptists, Charismatics, theologians (Graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary), Latter-day Saints, Restoration Branch, and RLDS (aka Community of Christ).

We are really looking forward to showing the world what love and unity among the body of Christ looks like. Coming together and setting our differences aside to serve and love God's children. Can't wait! 💕

These videos explain what we are doing. Feel free to share with your friends and family!

"Truth" - The Theme for This Week

Oh you guys, I loved this podcast episode so much! Someone shared it with me a couple weeks ago and I was so glad she did. Everyone I have since shared it with, has loved it just as much. This is the podcast I referenced in my new video message. Their message is exactly everything I've been sharing over the last year. It's so nice to hear it from someone else. I'd love to hear your thoughts after listening. It's funny because the podcast is called "His Simple Truths", and the episode is called "Layered Truth", and my new video message is titled, "Truth Will Cut Like a Knife". It looks like the theme this week is "truth"! :)

The Gathering is Hastening - A Delightful Experience!



A dear sweet sister (Marsha), approached my good friend Lynn Ridenhour and I at the FIRM expo a couple weeks ago. The FIRM expo is an International Book of Mormon evidence conference held twice a year. Lynn had just finished speaking to a large crowd of 800 attendees about our "Believers Building Bridges" tour, and was over at his table signing books. There was a long line of people wanting to meet Lynn, and many of them approached me as well and we made some wonderful connections. 

Marsha excitedly introduced herself to Lynn and I and said, "I just had to run home and get a copy of this for you! The Spirit told me to run home and get this, and so I did!" In her hand she held some papers stapled together and explained to us that she had been on a journey over the past several years to gather scriptures and quotes that in a sense promoted our message of interfaith unity. She had put together this document and had kept it to herself until now. She said she was delighted to find that there are others out there on this same journey. It brought her so much joy and hope. The excitement of her energy was contagious and I asked her for permission to share what she had collected on my blog. She happily consented and gave me a copy. 

She later concluded in an email:

"The scriptures are the ones the Lord gave me on my personal journey in understanding His great work, which has been a life changer for me; I am so happy to share them with the hope they will bless others as well. I thought at first only LDS [Latter-day Saint] people would be interested, but the Lord has impressed upon my mind that they will bless many others as well in helping them understand the beautiful words He has given to some of His Latter-day prophets, which have been recorded and given to us today. I have written commentary explaining the use of these scriptures. I think it's worded pretty well, so just read it!"

I have included her research below and if you click on the images, you can make them bigger and they are much easier to read. :)

The Winds of Change

I have been putting together my notes for the next video message which relate to this upcoming General Conference, and what I feel will be shared and announced. Yesterday, President Nelson visited Seattle, and spoke to over 49,000 people. As I listened to this summary it confirmed what I have been feeling is coming. In my recent video message I spoke about the message God is sending through Mother Nature right now. The winds of change are blowing. I am so excited for General Conference. Let the countdown begin!

Baptist Minister Preaches from the Book of Mormon? Here's A Movement You Need to Know About!

Recently, I had mentioned on my YouTube channel an amazing movement that everyone needs to know about. Founded by Missouri Baptist Minister Lynn Ridenhour, who preaches support of and belief in the Book of Mormon; this ministry is called Building Bridges Ministry.

Yes, Lynn preaches from the Book of Mormon every Sunday over the pulpit of his church, and in addition to that he holds conferences and meetings in which he invites members of several denominations (LDS, RLDS, Community of Christ, Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist, etc.) to come together and share what's on their hearts as they worship together and praise the Lord. In my mind, this paints a picture of how Zion will be during the Millennium - people of diverse Christian faiths and beliefs all living together in peace and harmony, serving the Lord. The sooner we can usher in this brotherhood/sisterhood uniting in Christ, I believe the sooner we prepare the earth for our Savior's return.


I first met Lynn at a Book of Mormon Conference last month here in Layton, Utah. Having never heard of him before and not sure what his presentation was about, I felt prompted to attend and was so glad that I did! What an incredible man on an incredible mission!

Lynn is passionate about building bridges between what he terms "Book of Mormon Believers" and "Bible Believers". Yes, those who believe in the Book of Mormon also believe in and read the Bible (just so there's no confusion), but this term refers to us Bible Believers who also believe in the Book of Mormon! Over the years, Lynn's ministry has resonated with so many Latter-day Saints including our beloved prophet Gordon B. Hinckley who while President of the Church, once invited Lynn to dinner to personally meet him and thank him for his genuine message to the members of the LDS church. Upon meeting Lynn, President Hinckley said, "We've never had a Baptist preacher come to our town and ask for our forgiveness."

The reason I am thrilled beyond words about Lynn's message and ministry is because a few years ago I was searching for something like this. One day while on the phone with my sister, I expressed to her that I believed a day would soon come when these two groups would come together and be powerful for the Lord. I truly believed that there was much we could learn from our Christian brothers and sisters and also that there was much we could share with them. I truly believed that we could have these conversations without offense or contention. That we would realize we actually have more in common than we do differences.

Many of the things that the Spirit has been teaching me over the past few years are common place among Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians - as well as common place among the early Saints of the Church. For a while, I felt that I couldn't share many of these things that I was learning with my fellow LDS friends because they wouldn't understand or would not be ready to hear, but truly felt that I wouldn't have to because someday in the near future, our two groups would come together and teach each other!

Some of these priceless gems I have learned over the years are:
  • How to improve my prayer closet
  • How to improve my prayers
  • How to strengthen my faith in healing and miracles
  • Spiritual warefare
  • The power of praise
  • And the truth about Halloween

Truly, I feel that the Lord often uses my blog and YouTube channel as a platform to give a voice to His other children whom He is using as instruments in His hands. I am happy to share their messages and help hasten the Lord's work. He is doing a work among all of His children, not just through the members of the LDS church. Whoever is willing, He will use for His wise purposes - purposes that we are often slow to understand and comprehend. 

This post needs to be shared with everyone. It's so important for us to help build these bridges between our different Christian communities. There are so many creative ways we can do this! For example, my sister has shared with me that her ward Relief Society has arranged an interfaith worship night once a month. One night each month, many sisters from various Christian denominations come together and celebrate the Lord. A different church hosts each month. They've been doing this for a few months now and it has been amazing! My sister shared with me her favorite night when a Christian worship band took requests. My sister and I are fans of Christian contemporary music mainly KLOVE radio and The Message on Sirius XM. As my sister threw out song requests, her fellow LDS sisters were confused as they were not familiar with this music nor these artists or songs. They were amazed that my sister knew all the words and stood with her fellow Christian sisters with arms raised to the ceiling while singing along. She said they looked a little unfamiliar and awkward but she fit right in! These are the fruits of stepping outside of our Mormon bubbles - a message I have shared over the last several years and will continue to share.

As we come together and have these experiences and conversations we can eliminate the awkwardness of our different religious cultures, traditions, and terminology. As explained so eloquently in Lynn's third video below, we have more in common than we realize. We believe in many of the same things, we just call it something different. As we tear down the walls of prejudice, misjudgment, misunderstanding, and old quarrels from the past, and we lose the mentality of us vs. them or whose right and whose wrong, and instead focus on our common denominator which is our love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our desire to serve Him and be like Him, we will experience compassion and miracles on a level we have never experienced before! I believe this with all my heart, in Jesus' name amen. 

Here are three videos that sum up everything about this blogpost as well as offer a little more introduction about Lynn and his background. The second video is powerful!

More Prophecy Fulfilled? And How to Heal a Wounded Heart

Is it possible that more prophecy has been fulfilled than we realize? Plus more on dreams, spiritual warfare, and an easy yet powerful exercise for healing a wounded heart.
