Jesus' DNA Proven to Be Half Human

Ron Wyatt

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine texted me a link to a video and asked me to watch it - I absolutely loved it! I wanted to share the video here, but unfortunately it has since been taken down from YouTube. The video was a documentary about Ron Wyatt's discovery of the Ark of the Covenant and Jesus's DNA.

I have heard of Ron's work before, but because he passed away in 1999 his name doesn't circulate much these days. After watching that documentary, I was surprised that I have not heard about some of his greatest discoveries. I remember first learning about him when I heard about the discovery of Noah's Ark. It perplexes me that so many wonderful discoveries over the past half-century, go unrecognized and are often dismissed by scientists, historians, biblical scholars. Unfortunately, this was the case for Ron.

Plug Stone for Cross Hole

Many witnesses who were apart of his archeology team, gave their testimonials in the documentary and they were powerful. The discovery that stood out the most to me was Jesus' blood. In 1982, Ron and his team, discovered the cross hole that held Jesus' cross into the ground. In the cross hole was a square stone that plugged the hole. In verse 51 of Matthew 27 we read of the earth quaking and the rocks splitting after Jesus gave up the ghost. Interestingly enough, next to the cross hole was a deep split in the ground/rock. As they removed the stone and continued digging in an underground grotto,  they soon noticed something quite incredible - a pool of dried blood that had been undisturbed for almost 2,000 years. The blood had made it's way down through the crack next to the cross hole and onto what they soon would discover to be the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant. In the New Testament we read that Christ’s side was pierced and blood and water flew from it, thus getting into the crack, running through it and getting through the cracked stone lid of the box which housed the Ark of the Covenant, and thus anointing the Mercy Seat. The dots began to connect it was clear that Jesus truly was the sacrificial lamb. Just as it was in the days of Moses, the blood of the sacrificial lamb was sprinkled onto the mercy seat!

Depiction of Blood Falling on Mercy Seat

Now, the Mercy Seat did not derive its worth from the purity of its gold but from the fact that it was the place where the blood of sacrifice was sprinkled in the presence of Yahweh. The word for "mercy seat" is the same root for the word "atonement". It means to cover, cancel, appease, or cleanse. The details about the full discovery of the Ark of the Covenant can be read here, in which it is mentioned that Ron soon learned that the Ark must remain in it's place as a proof that the blood upon it is indeed Yeshua’s, and this site will be supernaturally protected until the time when the Ark and the tablets of stone (ten commandments) must be shown to the public.

Ron and his team took samples of the dried pool of blood to an Israeli geneticist, in which it was discovered that this blood contained only 23 of the 46 chromosomes found in human DNA - making it half human. Human blood generally contains 23 chromosomes from each parent. This blood showed the impossible - one set of chromosomes coming from only one parent. Video of blood analysis.  The geneticists asked him, "Who's blood is this?", to which Ron replied in tears, "This is the blood of your Messiah." Those geneticists lives forever changed that day. 

In the documentary, it showed the original raw footage of Ron making these discoveries, including the pool of dried blood as it was being discovered. It was very incredible to witness. I couldn't believe I was actually looking at Christ's blood and my heart almost burst.  I felt there was great truth to Ron's testimony and I believe that the world was not ready to hear or receive it. At the FIRM expo I attended in April, I have shared in a video that Shawn Littlebear said that location of the Ark of the Covenant was known and he had been invited by Jewish leaders to assist in moving the Ark into the newly built temple, when the time was right. He said that the temple site had already been dedicated and he believed the site would be ready in the very near future, and was already assembling a team to assist him.

By the time of his death in 1999, Ron Wyatt claimed to have discovered several sites and artifacts related to the Bible and Biblical archaeology. Many of these artifacts can be seen today in a museum located near Nashville Tennessee. Ron's discoveries include:

• Noah's Ark 
• Anchor stones (or drogue stones) used by Noah on the Ark
• The post-flood house, grave markers and tombs of Noah and his wife
• The location of Sodom and Gomorrah and the other Cities of the Plain: Zoar, Zeboim and Admah
• Bones of giants
• Sulfur/brimstone balls from the ashen remains of Sodom and Gomorrah
• The area of Djoser's pyramid complex believed to be the remains of Joseph's grain distribution bins used during the seven-year famine
• The Tower of Babel site (in southern Turkey)
• How the Egyptians may have built the pyramids
• The site of the Israelites' crossing of the Red Sea (located in the Gulf of Aqaba)
• Chariot wheels and other relics of the army of Pharaoh at the bottom of the Red Sea
• The site of the biblical Mount Sinai (in Saudi Arabia at Jabal al-Lawz)
• A chamber at the end of a maze of tunnels under Jerusalem containing artifacts from Solomon's Temple, including the Ark of the Covenant
• The site of the Crucifixion of Jesus
• Christ's blood in an "earthquake crack" beneath the crucifixion site, the DNA of which, according to Wyatt, contained 24 chromosomes, rather than 46
• Burial pots off the coast of Ashkelon

These videos below are worth watching! I highly recommend the last two videos, you must watch them until the very end. 


 

A Lost Gospel Still Lost?

In my last video message, I shared my belief that our Savior Jesus Christ had a family (a belief I've had for many years). I love it when you begin on a topic and the Spirit puts bread crumbs on your path. I happened to stumble across this video last Monday and couldn't believe that there was a possible lost gospel I have never heard about. Yes, I have read the gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Thomas and the many other gospels that are listed here:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gospels . Gospels that were not selected to make it into the Bible cannon that we have today, and gospels that have been unearthed in the last century by archeologists. So, when I learned that there was another possible gospel, 1,450  years old, that was housed in the Brittish Library (where it still exists) in 1847, and re-discovered and decoded (yes, decoded) by Simcha Jacobovici an investigative archeologist who happens to be a devout Jew, let's just say I was very intrigued.

In 1847 the Brittish Library bought the ancient animal skin manuscript from an Egyptian Monastery. The Syriac text was later translated into English for the first time. The text is about the life of a married couple who are described as the "Son of God", married to the "Daughter of God" and a Divine couple. Because of the many similarities to Jesus and his life, it's believed that this text contains the inside story of Jesus’ social, family, and political life (the missing link to the gap in the New Testament gospels in which which nothing is written about Jesus between the ages of 13 - 30 years of age). I had just said in my last video message, that I believed one day we would discover those missing gaps in the New Testament. We might learn more plain and precious truths that were taken out.

Currently, in our Biblical text, Jesus is depicted as a lowly carpenter's son, this text however portrays Him as a powerful political figure at the highest levels of the Roman Empire, and reveals a plot to kill him 13 years prior to his crucifixion. This depiction coincides with the Biblical depiction of religious leaders and government leaders feeling threatened by His growing popularity. Not only was He believed to be the Son of God by His followers but they believed He would deliver them from Rome. If He were not politically involved, I don't believe the religious leaders and government at the time would have felt threatened.

A few years ago, I remember hearing a woman bear testimony of what she had learned about Jesus' life on earth from her visit to the other side of the veil. She said that His parents were wealthy. Joseph was a renowned Master carpenter and sought out by the wealthy for his work. He had a very affluent reputation for his fine skills. She also said that wisemen traveled in a large caravan with many servants and it was quite the entourage. They brought enough gold for Jesus to sustain He and His family throughout their entire life. Their family was affluent, reputable, and well-to-do.

Now to the background of this mysterious manuscript. What is the backstory? Around 550 A.D. an anonymous individual (believed to be a monk) wrote to his friend, Moses of Ingila. He had come across a "small, very old" book called Of Aseneth in the library in Resh'aina belonging to the bishops who had originally come from Aleppo. Suspecting that it contained a hidden message, he asked Moses of Ingila to translate the work from Greek into Syriac, a language with which he was more familiar. Moses of Ingila obliged, sending him a Syriac translation and noting that it was a work of wisdom, the meaning of which had to be carefully discerned. As he started to indicate the hidden Christological meaning, the text of the covering letter is suddenly cut off, while at the same time confirming the truth of mainstream Christianity and Jesus Christ in his letter perhaps deliberately so in antiquity according to the authors.

This manuscript is said to be the history of two figures named "Joseph and Aseneth", who bear the same names as Joseph of Egypt and his wife Aseneth.  The only problem is that Joseph of Egypt and his wife lived 1,400 years prior to the details and setting of this story, which has all the earmarks of the political & geographical setting in the New Testament. There is very little that connects them to the actual Joseph of Egypt and his wife in the Old Testament, therefore leading the readers to believe that these are pseudo-names to protect the true identity of the couple. The text contains Christian terminology and Eucharistic symbolism making it a non-Jewish text and contains encrypted meanings meant to be decoded. This correlates to the time period in which it was written, where Christians were heavily persecuted and their texts were burned. If someone were wanting to preserve a text or gospel at that time, they would write it in a way that would go undetected as Christian therefore to preserve it. In hopes that at a future date, those meant to discover this lost history would be able to do so.

From what I have heard, this text paints a different form of Christianity that was practiced in the early years of Christianity before it was changed and consolidated into what would become the state religion of the Roman Empire. There are parts in the text that have been cut out and blotted out as if to conceal what was originally written. I will say that I have not read the book yet, so I haven't made a conclusion for myself, however it's very fascinating that this manuscript survived all these years, later being preserved in a library in Britain completely void of interest or awareness to the public.

One last fact to this story that is difficult to ignore, is that the author's of this English translation have been under heavy persecution since publishing their findings in 2014. They have been discredited and shut down in every way imaginable. Because their findings challenge modern-day Christianity in that Jesus was married and had children, they have been made a mockery in their profession. The 1,450 year-old manuscript still remains in the British Library today, and because of the discrediting of their findings, no one is talking about it.

Again, I have not read the book - however, whether or not this text proves to be a true lost gospel, I can't help but wonder how many others throughout history have been shut down, persecuted, discredited etc. because their findings challenge the status quo. How much truth currently exists in plain sight? I am amazed that I stumbled across this finding after pondering the very topic last week. Because nothing is known about the original author of the text, it is difficult to claim truth to the story - but that won't stop me from reading the book anyway, and prayerfully using my gift of discernment. I always walk away with something beneficial from all that I am led to. ;)

Here is a video below with more detail about what I have shared. I highly recommend watching it. 

Truth Will Cut Like a Knife!

I beat the record with the length of this week's video message! There is symbolism in 3:23:00. After publishing the video to YouTube, I noticed those numbers. 23 is the same as 11 in that they are both the final hour of the day. 3rd day power in the 23rd hour!  

In this message I share my experience with the ten-day social media fast, as well as discussing current headlines, happenings, and a powerful message from Elder Ballard who spoke at my regional conference - and just what tools the adversary is using against us in this final hour. What are those tools? Watch to find out.

 

Revelation on Better Health - Preparation for Great Things to Come!

A few weeks ago, I was thinking to myself how I was so ready to get my body back into shape. I had mistreated it over the summer with little exercise and too many BBQ’s. With so much going on, there just didn’t seem to be enough “me” time. I so much desired more time to pray, ponder, meditate, read, and exercise. 

A holistic friend of my mine felt that I needed to try some very expensive and popular products she was using, and that I was would be pleased with the results. A few hundred dollars and 30 days later, I wasn’t seeing the results I had hoped for, and didn’t really care much for the taste of the product. I felt that God had something else in mind for me. I just wanted to cleanse and re-start my body. I wanted to feel good, have energy, and not have to count calories, restrict several food groups, take expensive supplements, or eat nasty tasting products. 

The day I was pondering about this, I was looking for something to listen to while I cleaned the kitchen. I had the sudden prompting to hop on over to the Preparing a People Podcast page, and saw that the most recent podcast (#43) was called, “David Warwick Shares his Experience with Longer Fasting for Powerful Revelation and Better Health”. Right away I felt that the Lord was leading me. I have a great immune system and seldom get sick, but I knew that my life could be so much better if I took better care of my body. As I watched the podcast I felt confirmation all throughout that this was what the Lord wanted for me, to improve my health. I was reminded that a couple years ago, I used to do this very thing and yes, I felt amazing! 

When the podcast ended I felt such gratitude in my heart, that the Lord was leading me along. With still more kitchen to clean, I went over to YouTube to see what I might find. The very first video in my feed was an older Sid Roth Show video from several years ago, normally I might pass over an older video but when I read the title, “I Supernaturally Lost Weight with NO Diet or Supplements!” I felt the Spirit nudge me. I was so glad I listened as I received a witness as to what I had just heard in the podcast. Around this time, a friend of mine from out of state happened to send me an email of a BYU Speeches video she enjoyed. I thanked her for the video, but honestly forgot to open it as it got lost in my inbox. A month later (this week) I was reminded to go back and find that email and watch the video – not knowing what the video was about.

And yes, I received my third witness. The video is titled, “The Plagues of Prosperity” and I never would have guessed by that title that it would be about the topic of better health. For all who watch it, the best part comes towards the end. Trust me, it’s worth hearing it all the way through. 

I’m happy to share that as I’ve been following this counsel, advice, wisdom – whatever you’d like to call it, I have been truly blessed. I can with great confidence say that this is exactly what the Lord wants me to be doing right now and that this is a preparation for greater things to come! Just wanted to share. 

I recommend watching the videos below in this exact order, just as the Lord had me do. :) 

Yes, You Can Meet the Savior Before He Returns - No NDE Required!

One thing I must express gratitude for, is the opportunity I have to share all the amazing videos, books, teachers, and links I come across here on my blog and in my Happy Lady videos with all of you. Not only are the blog and YouTube channel, tools where I can share what I've been discovering but also a great source for all of you (my friends and subscribers) to share what you have been discovering. There are so many of you who are so kind to share in private emails and messages your sacred experiences, testimonies, suggested reads, materials & teachers, and I love returning the favor in my videos and blogposts. Links are always provided in the video description of each of my videos to a wealth of resources. I'm amazed at how many messages come through each day from all of you, and humbled by what you share.

A friend of mine and follower of the blog, referred me to this video yesterday. I must say how grateful I am to have been able to watch this. It's so refreshing to know that there are more LDS people out there who are on the same page as me. This is the message I have been feeling so strong lately, and conveying in my video messages here a little and there a little - and so you can imagine how excited I was to discover all of it one video presentation. Adam Miller sums it up so well - better than I can. This is exactly how I feel! We can meet the Savior in the flesh before He returns to the earth as prophesied. We can meet Him often, and there is no Near Death Experience required! We can and should be seeking this kind of relationship with Him. This is His will for us - all of us.

If you don't have time to watch the entire video, go to 41:08 and you will hear Adam confirm (in his own words) that he has had what I believe to be a Second Comforter experience. To hear someone speak so boldly and beautifully about a topic that has always been "hushed" over the years, and to hear them speak it at BYU and see that it was so well received, just had me doing a happy dance!

Three Podcasts You'll Be Glad You Listened To!

Several months ago, I wrote this blog post  in which I shared a link to a free PDF of a book about Jewish feasts written by Mormon Jew Gayle Boyd. After reading it, I promised myself I would celebrate Hanukkah this year with my kids especially because in the book the author lays out the blueprint for fun ideas on how to celebrate these feasts with your family and keep it simple.Unfortunately for me, Hanukkah passed me right up before I had the chance to celebrate it.

Did you know that Jesus celebrated Hanukkah? It's recorded in the book of John that Jesus observed the celebration of dedication in the temple during the winter of AD 29.

John 10:22 

And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

The name of the holiday, Hanukkah, comes from the Hebrew word for “dedication,” “consecration” or “inauguration.” Jesus was celebrating the feast of the dedication AKA Hanukkah. Hanukkah is a Jewish festival that commemorates the purification and re-dedication of the Temple by Judas Maccabeus.

In the spirit of Hanukkah (now that it's ended), I have three MUST WATCH videos! The bottom video is a segment taken from a video of Sundar Selvaraj Sadhu from January 2017. I remember watching that video back in January. He shared some interesting insight on the coming year. One specific highlight that he shared was that on 11/29/1947 Israel entered a 70-year covenant with God when it became recognized as an official state - a fulfillment of prophecy. That 70-year covenant ended on 11/29/2017. Sundar Selvaraj Sadhu prophesied that 2017 would be a major turning point for Israel and this would happen around 11/29/2017. On December 6th 2017 President Trump announced that the United States now recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel - indeed a major turning point. To hear more about what's in store for Israel - you will want to watch the video.

The first video will blow you mind (in a good way). For those of you who have never heard of Johnathan Cahn before, he's a NYT bestselling author and a Messianic Jewish Rabbi - meaning he is a Jew Rabbi who converted to Christianity. I have shared messages from him before on my blog.

Sometimes I like to imagine what it would be like if Rabbi Cahn was a Mormon. I mean just imagine the awesome parallels and paradigms he could unfold from the Book of Mormon - especially since it was scripture written for our day. I don't know how he does it but he sure has a way of detecting the neatest mysteries and connections from ancient scripture.

In this recent interview below, Johnathan shares details about December 2017 and world events in connection with Hanukkah foreshadowing prophecy about the anti-Christ. He shares a parallel of a tolerance only for evil in our day. It's a parallel of what's bad is called good and what was once good is now called bad. There will be those who shout "tolerance" but they only want tolerance for things that are evil. They want their wickedness tolerated but they do want to tolerate righteousness. It's a parallel with a message of not looking at the present-day circumstances but instead looking to God. Hanukkah is a warning of the anti-Christ spirit in our day.

The second video goes perfectly with my last two blog posts. I had mentioned previously that I stumbled across a video that was a strong witness to what I shared in my December 18th  blog post. This is that video. It talks about parallels in the Old Testament in connection to our day. If we understand how the parallel played out back then, we can understand how it will play out in our day.

Hope you enjoy!

The Last of the Last Days - What Does that Look Like?

Did we enter the 120th Hebrew jubilee cycle on September 23rd 2017? And if so, what does that mean?

Genesis 6:3 

And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

A Little Preface

A month ago, I watched a video by Dr. Bruce Allen, called "Message of the Third Day" (scroll down to see the video) It stirred my soul and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Today I was reminded of that video and felt inspired to share it here on my blog.

Dr. Allen and his wife are traveling ministers of Still Waters International Ministries. I love how the Lord uses the mouths of 2-3 witnesses to confirm certain truths. I love when the Lord sends witnesses from other faiths to confirm a truth in your own faith. These additional witnesses always add to my testimony,  as I am not one to discount someone's experiences and testimony just because they belong to another faith. I'd like to touch on that a little more before I share the message.

Some often ask, "Doesn't God only use members of the Church to do His work on the earth? If God uses other men to help do His work how come He doesn't lead them to join the Church?"

In response to this question, Elder Orson F. Whitney once said,

"Perhaps the Lord needs such men on the outside of his Church, to help it along. They are among its auxiliaries, and can do more good for the cause where the Lord has placed them, than anywhere else. And the same is true of the priesthood and its auxiliaries inside the Church. Hence, some are drawn into the fold and receive a testimony of the Truth; while others remain unconverted—for the present;...

...God is using more than one people for the accomplishment of his great and marvelous work. The Latter-day Saints cannot do it all. It is too vast, too arduous, for any one people...

...Again I say, the Lord's Work has need of auxiliaries outside as well as inside, to help it along. Because of their worldly influence—which would depart if they connected themselves with the Church—many are kept where they are, where the Lord has placed them, and can best use them for the good of all. (Conference Report, April 1928, p.59-60)"

Ezra Taft Benson said,

"God, the Father of us all, uses the men of the earth, especially good men, to accomplish his purposes. It has been true in the past, it is true today, it will be true in the future." (Conference Report, April 1928, p.59). (Civic Standards For the Faithful Saints," Ensign, July 1972, p.59)

We are not doing God's work for Him, rather God is doing His own work through us! His children are His instruments. God is not limited in choice of instruments. He uses all for His purposes and we are all assisting in His work , whether knowingly or unknowingly. Eventually all that belongs to Christ will be gathered in together in Christ.

When something comes across my path and it feels good, right, and of the Lord - but my logical mind steps in to create doubt, I am always reminded of what happened to the children of Israel as well as the words of Alma 12 that echo loud in my mind and heart.

Alma 12:10

10 And therefore, he that will harden his heart, the same receiveth the lesser portion of the word; and he that will not harden his heart, to him is given the greater portion of the word, until it is given unto him to know the mysteries of God until he know them in full.

You know me, I always give the benefit of the doubt - unless the Spirit gives me a red light. I got the green light on this video, and I think it's because there were many confirmations of things I had recently heard spoken of in stake conference and general conference. Those were the gems that I gravitated to in Dr. Allen's message.

The Day We Live In

If I had time to transcribe this video, I certainly would - there is so much value in this message! Here's a sum of the gems I took away from this video:

• Do you love the promise of the Lord more than the Lord of the promise?
• The era we entered on 9/23/17 is a period of testing and cleansing
• The Lord will do a mighty work that confounds the learned (what does that look like?)
• Are we prepared for what the Lord is about to do throughout the earth as prophesied in the scriptures?
• Are we moved to action?
• "I'd rather error on the side of faith, than succeed on the side of doubt"
• Develop a personal relationship with the Savior right now so you will know Him when He comes. so you will not be deceived.

We learn in Doctrine and Covenants 84:23 about the frustration Moses experienced as he sought to sanctify his people so that they could see the face of the Lord. Moses didn't teach in parables, he taught things plain and simple. The children of Israel did not want to receive these plain and precious teachings, and therefore hardened their hearts against the truth. The Lord was unable to show them His glory as long as they were in the wilderness. Because of their unbelief and closing off their hearts to truth, the Lord took away the greater knowledge and gave them the basics.

Likewise in our day, many will harden their hearts against truth and light. Modern-day revelation and scripture teaches us that the Lord keeps His promise to manifest Himself to all who will sanctify themselves and be humble.

Doctrine and Covenants 93:1

Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am;

Doctrine and Covenants 35:21

For they will hear my voice, and shall see me, and shall not be asleep, and shall abide the day of my coming; for they shall be purified, even as I am pure.

Doctrine and Covenants 61:38

Gird up your loins and be watchful and be sober, looking forth for the coming of the Son of Man, for he cometh in an hour you think not.

Doctrine and Covenants 88:68

Therefore, sanctify yourselves that your minds become single to God, and the days will come that you shall see him; for he will unveil his face unto you, and it shall be in his own time, and in his own way, and according to his own will.

Doctrine and Covenants 76:117-118

To whom he grants this privilege of seeing and knowing for themselves;

That through the power and manifestation of the Spirit, while in the flesh, they may be able to bear his presence in the world of glory.

2 Nephi 27:22-23

Wherefore, when thou hast read the words which I have commanded thee, and obtained the witnesses which I have promised unto thee, then shalt thou seal up the book again, and hide it up unto me, that I may preserve the words which thou hast not read, until I shall see fit in mine own wisdom to reveal all things unto the children of men.

In Summary

The day that we are living in can best be summed up by John 14:12-13,

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

There are so many wonderful things we get to look forward to as the Lord carries out His marvelous work upon the Earth. I don't think our mind can begin to comprehend what that entails to the fullest. I am excited to be a member of the Church of the Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in what many are calling, "The Last of the Last Days".

Hope you enjoy!

Job 41 and the Leviathan Spirit: Exposing the Enemy's #1 Tactic!

God's plans for each of us individually are too amazing to comprehend. Satan knows this and is doing all he can to thwart those plans. There is one tactic that the enemy has in full force right now, because it is the most successful tactic at deceiving us. Learn what it is, and how to recognize it, so you can be powerful in stopping it's effect over your life!

   

Righteously Seeking God's Mysteries

A recent question was emailed to me this week, and I thought I would share my answer here on my blog, as it might be helpful to anyone else encoutnering the same question.

The question was in regards to my last video message, "When the Lord Knocks." The person expressed her concerns about seeking "outside the box" for spiritual growth.  She added, "I do not have the gift of discernment, and I have learned  that I am often wrong in what I feel are answers and promptings."

My Thoughts

One thing that is difficult for me, is being put in a position to where I am being asked to persuade someone. Unless it is to convince them to buy my children cookies for their school fundraiser, I generally avoid persuasion. I believe that the Spirit should do the convincing. If a person comes to me with doubts or confusion, I tell them to go to the Lord. Pray, ask for the Holy Ghost to be their guide, repent of anything that might be preventing them from feeling the Holy Ghost in their life, ask for wisdom, examine their faith - is it possible their faith is lacking and therefore the Lord is not answering them in the manner that they would like? 

From past experience, I have had friends ask me for what I believe to be true about a certain matter, and then go to another person and ask the same, and then pit our answers against each other. That is not how the Spirit works. When I receive a certain truth from the Spirit, it burns so warm inside of me that I know it is true. When something does not feel right for me, I feel "troubled in the spirit" which is a sensation I feel in the pit of my stomach. I never feel torn, confused, unsure...etc. I just know.  

Because the question that came to me was very sincere and came from a place of desiring to do the right thing, I decided to do my best to share the thoughts and feelings of my heart. 

In my video "When the Lord Knocks" I talk about the importance of having an open mind and an open heart while on the journey of spiritual progression. I also stress that it is vital to have the gift of discernment while on this journey. You would never go on a lengthy hiking adventure into the deep mountains without a compass and a map (GPS). The Holy Ghost is our compass. If we struggle to feel the Holy Ghost in our daily lives,  or we struggle to trust those promptings, as I mentioned in my video - it is much safer to walk the valley trails

Many times, I have used the Apostle Paul's analogy of milk and meat. In Paul's visit to Corinth, he addressed several church-related problems to the people in his first letter to the Corinthians. The main problem was a carnal one, and was evidence of the church members' spiritual immaturity. Some in Corinth had not only aligned themselves to certain teachers (Paul, Apollos, Peter), they were also causing contentions and divisions in the church by arguing which of these preachers was the most spiritual and best to follow (verses 3 - 23).

The heading to 1 Corinthians 3 reads: Milk comes before meat in the Church



1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

The word "milk" in the above scripture (Greek gala, (Strong's Concordance #G1051) means the basic, elemental teachings of true Christianity first learned by new converts. The word "meat" comes from the Greek word Broma (Strong's #G1033) and means "the more solid, complete and deeper spiritual doctrines of the Gospel".

The apostle Paul felt that trying to teach the church the deeper truths of God would be a waste of time so long as they continued to indulge in petty debates over which teacher was the greater teacher.

I see this happening quite often lately on social media. Members of the Church squabbling over which blogs, podcasts, authors, and even church leaders are "on" or "off track". Through their differing of feelings and opinions they become exhausted and overwhelmed as divisions are created. People become consumed in "being right" or by their fears of "being wrong". The fear of being wrong is so powerful that many find it easier to avoid anything all together that is not from a conference talk or the Ensign. 

In my video message and quite often here on this blog, I share a video from lds.org called "We Are Not Gods Only People" by Samuel Hislop. His message promotes having an open heart and open mind and being willing to learn from those who are not of our same faith. That they too, have experiences and words that can offer great value to our lives. But again, if you don't have the gift of discernment, how will you know which words, experiences, and teachers are going to enhance your journey? You need that gift to discern what is truth and what is error. What's important that the Spirit needs you to know pertaining to your individual mission and life experience, and what is going to be a waste of your time. Only you can know what the Spirit is telling you in regards to a green light or a red light. It might be the right timing in your life to learn some beautiful truths or mysteries, or you might not be ready and you are feeling something steer you away. 

The awesome truth is, everything we need to know for our salvation can be found in the scriptures - there is great peace and comfort in knowing and believing that.The basics of the gospel that we get on Sunday, in church magazines, and from conference talks are powerful. The basics can even be life changing! The gospel is pure & simple and should never be complicated.The basics are essentially the milk. They are all that the Lord has allowed to reveal as a whole to His church at this time. We know that there is much more truth that can be and will be revealed ( ex. the sealed portion).

Elder Richard G. Scott said in October 2007 conference,

"The best way of finding truth is simply to go to the origin of all truth and ask or respond to inspiration. For success, two ingredients are essential: first, unwavering faith in the source of all truth; second, a willingness to keep God’s commandments to keep open spiritual communication with Him. 

Try as I might, I am not able, even in the smallest degree, to comprehend the extent, depth, and stunning grandeur of what our holy Heavenly Father, Elohim, has permitted to be revealed by the scientific method...

... Were we to penetrate further into the mysteries of the most fundamental makeup of creation, we would come to the limit of our current understanding..there are yet more of Father in Heaven’s creations to be understood by the scientific method.

...The Lord said unto Enoch: Behold these thy brethren; they are the workmanship of mine own hands, and I gave unto them their knowledge, … and … gave I unto man his agency;

“… There are many worlds …, and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them.”


A knowledge of truth is of little value unless we apply it in making correct decisions. Consider for a moment a man, heavily overweight, approaching a bakery display. In his mind are these thoughts: The doctor told you not to eat any more of that. It’s not good for you. It just gives you momentary gratification of appetite. You’ll feel uncomfortable the rest of the day after it. You’ve decided not to have any more. But then he hears himself say, “I’ll have two of those almond twists and a couple of those chocolate doughnuts. One more time won’t hurt. I’ll do it just once more, and this will be the last time.”

The Lord knows if we are in a place to correctly and righteously apply the knowledge He gives us. This is known as wisdom. If we are not prepared to receive new knowledge and truth, and we lack wisdom, then it's for our own protection that we refrain. Instead, we should pray that the Lord grant us wisdom and help us prepare for further light. 

John H. Vandenberg said in his April 1978 conference What is Truth,  

"Jesus said, 'Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.' Those who are “of the truth” are those who sincerely seek after it. All of mankind should be seekers after truth for it is the supreme essence of their lives.

...“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed."

This reminds me of so many I know who want to seek but are afraid to find. They just don't feel confident in their discernment. Sometimes they catch wind of an interesting truth, but then go shopping for opinions about it. It feels good and right, but they are afraid to trust what they feel. They toss it around on social media or among family and friends to get their take and opinions.They become persuaded by whomever is the most convincing or credible.These members of the church seem to blow with the wind. They aren't tuning in to what the Spirit is trying to teach them. They prefer to be taught by the opinions of man.   

In reference to righteous desires of God's children to seek the mysteries, Elder W. Mark Bassett said in October 2016 conference in his talk For Our Spiritual Development and Learning,

"Jacob’s words teach us that we cannot successfully “pry at the plates” or force the mysteries of God to be revealed unto us. Instead, the mysteries of God are unfolded unto us only according to His will and by the power of the Holy Ghost.

...In order to understand the mysteries of God, or those things that can be understood only through revelation, we must follow the example of Nephi, who said, “Being exceedingly young, nevertheless being large in stature, and also having great desires to know of the mysteries of God, wherefore, I did cry unto the Lord; and behold he did visit me, and did soften my heart that I did believe all the words which had been spoken by my father.”6 The Lord Himself further explained that Nephi had exercised faith, sought diligently with lowliness of heart, and kept His commandments.7


Nephi’s example of seeking knowledge included (1) a sincere desire, (2) humility, (3) prayer, (4) trust in the prophet, and an exercise of (5) faith, (6) diligence, and (7) obedience. This method of seeking is in great contrast to my “prying at the plates,” or trying to force an understanding of things meant to be revealed according to the Lord’s timetable and through the power of the Holy Ghost.

In this modern age, we have come to expect that knowledge can and should be obtained immediately; when information is not easily known or accessible, it is often dismissed or mistrusted. Because of the abundance of information, some unwittingly give more credibility to available sources with an unknown origin rather than relying on the Lord’s established pattern for receiving personal revelation." 

If seeking the meat results in evaporating the milk, then we should not be seeking the meat. The milk goes with the meat. When this happens, we have lost balance in our lives. And when we lose balance we let go of what we feel threw us off. I have seen many people who are on this path right now. They sought the meat, while forgetting about the milk. They got carried away in the excitement of learning the mysteries and made that priority in their lives. Instead of asking the Lord what His will was concerning their journey of seeking, they bypassed Him altogether and sought anyways. When they realized their life was out of balance, they felt lost and became afraid and translated that fear into the need to avoid the meat all together. They used their personal experience and fears to translate a general message that all people should avoid seeking the meat for their own protection and safety.

I have not been a fan of this message. I believe with all my heart that what the Spirit teaches one, may not be counsel for another. We are all at different spiritual levels. This was even spoken about by Elder Oaks and Elder Ballard at the recent YSA Face to Face. They said that because all church members are at “different levels of spiritual intellect” they would try to find a middle ground with their answers as to not offend or confuse those who are at a lower level. They asked that the higher spiritual intellect members not be offended by their basic (milk) answers. I found that very interesting as I have not heard general authorities talk that way before.

I could attest to this. From my experience I have come across some mystery seekers who were easily offended by those who opposed their messages. That offense came from a place of fear and turned into a greater fear. Fear that they had made a mistake, or done something wrong…etc. The Lord doesn’t use fear. Fear is a tactic of the Adversary. The Lord gently guides us. The Spirit is a still small voice that beckons us. We feel compelled to learn something, share something, repent, or change, but not from a spirit of fear. We feel compelled out of love and humility. We keep our counsel from the Spirit personal – unless prompted to share with others. Our personal counsel is not meant to be counsel for all the members of the church. It is unique to our own weaknesses and shortcomings.

In my upcoming weekly video message I talk about a sister who contacted me and shared her notes from Elder Bednar who had recently spoken at her stake conference. She quoted Elder Bednar and wrote,

“New things will be revealed that have never been revealed in our time.” Twice during his talk he said,  “For those that have eyes to see let them see, for those who have ears to hear let them hear.” Almost like he was commanding it while he was giving his talk. 

Elder Bednar didn't appear to expand on how these new truths would be revealed but my spirit felt that we can always receive truth individually from the Lord if we ask and if it's His will to reveal it to us. Scripture teaches us that the greater truths have been kept hidden as the Lord's people are not ready for it (as a whole). 

We know from scripture that anytime someone has prayed to know truth with righteous desires, God has always answered. Joseph Smith, The Brother of Jared, Nephi, Enoch, and many others have gone directly to the Lord and asked for more than just the milk. They desired the meat. The meat are the mysteries of the Kingdom of God. The gospel is the good news, the message that teaches us and prepares us to enter into and live in the Kingdom of God. The mysteries are the ways of the Lord and how His Kingdom operates. A wonderful knowledge to behold, but not essential for salvation.

Whether we learn them here in our life (through an NDE, a vision, or dream), or we learn them after we cross through the veil - eventually we are given that opportunity to receive the fullness of that knowledge. Not everyone desires that knowledge in this lifetime, and not everyone is prepared to receive it, and that is okay. If you are continually striving to learn from the milk - it will fill you with life. It is fear that causes digression and spiritual death. Fear of seeking, and learning. It's fear that overrides trust in the Holy Spirit. If we feel prompted to learn something, or seek something, but fear stops us - we are stunting our own growth, and for our own protection will no longer received those promptings if we are not being obedient to them. 

That was the premise of my video message.Through the gift of discernment we can override fear and exercise trust. My blessing tells me I have been given the gift of discernment and that I will be in a position to bring many souls to my Savior. Through my videos and blog posts, the Spirit has been my teacher and shown me what to learn and what to share and what to avoid or not share. It has been a great blessing in my life. I've had the privilege of experiencing many souls come unto their Savior through what the Spirit has led me to learn and share.

My blessing also talks about the importance of moderation in all things. I believe that many fall short in this area. Many become obsessed with a certain truth or principal they have learned until it consumes them. They eat, sleep, and breath the mysteries and forget about the basics – the milk. They forget to serve, to love, be parents, and to magnify their church callings.

For the most part, people only know me through what they see in my videos or blog. But it's important for you to know that I don’t spend the majority of my day seeking the meat. I spend it playing with my kids, cooking, cleaning, working on fun projects, shopping, and living a normal life. That’s why I also have the family vlog videos, to show people who I am the majority of the time. I record a positive message for my Happy Lady vlog once a week, and its whatever I’m prompted to share. I type up my notes right before I make the video – but that is all the time I put into it. Just once a week. Because of this I find balance in my life and I feel joy and peace.

I feel I am on the right track as I feel so blessed and because what I have been guided to learn has only strengthened my testimony of what I already know to be true. It doesn’t take away from it, change it, or consume me. Many people fear expanding outside of the box because they fear their own weaknesses. They fear they will be led astray, or they will lose their testimony or they will become obsessed. Again those are fears, and fear will never accompany promptings. The Holy Ghost does not operate from fear. Fears and doubts may come later, and I have learned that is a common tactic of Satan. He watches as we receive promptings and new knowledge (line upon line) that will allow us to learn and grow. He always swoops in to put a stop to it by using fear and doubt. This leads to confusion. Confusion is a tool of the enemy. I talk about this is my new video this week.

God brings clarity. When something feels clear, it is of the Lord. When we hear truth, followed by loud doubts and fears entering our mind, we need to ask where that confusion, fear, and doubt is coming from. The Lord gives us clear answers. Yes and no. Move ahead, or stop. He never says “Wait. I’m not sure. Hold on. I’m confused.” He doesn’t change. He is firm. He is absolute. He is the same tomorrow, today, and yesterday.

In the YSA Face to Face, Elder Oaks talks about this. He addresses a question about how can we tell if something is our own thoughts or coming from the Holy Ghost. I highly recommend you listen. 

It’s pretty easy to keep  my messages positive. I try to bring peace, clarity and happiness into all my videos and posts. I don’t speak to a general audience because I feel that the Lord leads those who need to hear my messages to them. I cannot speak for others however, and something interesting I have noticed is that there has been a common occurrence happening among some recent vloggers and  podcasters that has caused many of their listeners to say, "Wait...I am now confused." 

These teachers/mentors are generally very emotional and passionate people by nature. One day they are passionate, emotional and in tears about something they believe to be a new amazing truth that has changed their life and then the next day, they are equally passionate, emotional and in tears about how that same truth was actually deception. It can seem very confusing. Strong emotions can easily be mistaken as the Spirit and therefore truth. This is addressed in the recent YSA Face to Face. When I feel the spirit teaching me truth, I feel peace and calmness and I really hope that translates into my videos.

In the October 2017 conference, Elder Bednar said in his talk Exceeding Great and Precious Promises,

"We easily can be overcome by the routine and mundane matters of mortality. Sleeping, eating, dressing, working, playing, exercising, and many other customary activities are necessary and important. But ultimately, what we become is the result of our knowledge of and willingness to learn from the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; it is not merely the sum total of our daily pursuits over the course of a lifetime.

The gospel is so much more than a routine checklist of discrete tasks to be performed; rather, it is a magnificent tapestry of truth “fitly framed”26 and woven together, designed to help us become like our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, even partakers of the divine nature. Truly, we are blinded “by looking beyond the mark”27 when this overarching spiritual reality is overshadowed by the cares, concerns, and casualness of the world.


As we are wise and invite the Holy Spirit to be our guide, I promise He will teach us what is true. “He will testify of Christ, [and] light our minds with heaven’s view” as we strive to fulfill our eternal destiny and become partakers of the divine nature."

The Lord gives us the basics but it's up to us to "knock and have it opened unto us". The Lord will not force knowledge upon us. The Spirit guides as to what to seek for and where to find it. Elder Bednar said, "But ultimately, what we become is the result of our knowledge of and willingness to learn from the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost;...we are wise and invite the Holy Spirit to be our guide," What we become is our exaltation. What we are exalted to after making covenants with the Lord, is a glory based on the amount of  Light we were willing to receive due to our obedience to the Holy Ghost.

Staying on the gospel path should always be our priority and focus. Just like I mentioned, you can't seek the meat when straying from the milk. You need both. The iron rod is the personal revelation in our life. It's the word of God for us individually. We have to be obedient to it. With our gift of discernment we can trust where the Spirit leads us. If there is something we are to learn that will really benefit us on our journey or confirm a truth, we must trust the Spirit. 

The Spirit will not prompt us to learn the mysteries if we have strayed from the gospel path. We must hold tight to the iron rod, in order to receive those promptings. "Outside the Box" doesn't have to mean "outside the church" or "outside the gospel" or "outside the doctrine" - it simply means seeking and knocking with an open mind and open heart and moving higher and brighter line upon line. Trusting where the Spirit might lead you, wherever it may be. We can still move forward on the gospel path but do so from a higher perspective. Our comfort bubble keeps us lower to the ground, it puts limits on us and minimizes our perspective and view. Going outside the box is like putting on stilts and seeing further down the path from a higher perspective. We are still on the gospel path, but that greater knowledge has lifted us to a new perspective that enhances our view and and our experience while on the path. 

An example of this in my own life, are the times I have purchased books from Deseret Book in which I learned mysteries not detailed in the scriptures or doctrine. However, they did not take away from the gospel or doctrine, nor teach anything contrary to it. They added to it. They confirmed what I already knew to be true. 

A specific example of this that comes to mind was a collection of Near Death Experiences I bought in the early 2000's from Deseret Book. The NDE's were collected from people all over the world and from different religions and time periods. They spoke of beautiful things and beings that people saw in the spirit world. They spoke of how things operated in the Spirit wold. Things that would not be spoken of in a conference talk, over the pulpit, nor in a Sunday school or Relief Society lesson. However they did not discount the gospel or knowledge we have from the doctrine. They supported it. That was the premise of the book. How God can uses people's experiences outside of the Church to be an additional witness to the revealed truth we already have. One account from the 1800's spoke of three kingdoms of glory in the brightness of a star, moon, and sun. The man was not a Mormon and this was prior to the Church being restored. It was a beautiful witness. I was left feeling edified and peaceful from my reading.

God's mysteries are available to all who ask and are on the gospel path. He works in mysterious ways and a lot of time exceeds my own expectations. I've learned not to put limits on Him. If he sends me to a book, a YouTube video, a podcast, or a person - I've learned there is usually something in that He wants me to learn. Whether it's one sentence in a book, one experience shared in a video, etc. I feel the Spirit confirm to me what it is each time. We learn many beautiful things in the temple about truth being spread throughout the Earth and one day it being circumscribed into one great whole. The Holy Ghost (our compass) guides us to those truths that a spread abroad through our gift of discernment. 

Lastly, concerning seeking the mysteries, I had been fasting for and pondering a couple days ago about many of the gifts I have been given and some of which have to do with my hands such as my gift of writing which involves typing, and other gifts etc. I was pondering on how I have relied on my gift of discernment to learn more about these gifts and how to righteously use them. I was also pondering on how to best share this message of it being okay to seek mysteries that are aligned with God's will for us. 

While pondering and praying, I began to feel this powerful energy hit my hands and pulsate down through my elbows and back out through my hands. It pulsated back and forth and everything in my hands and arms tingled with warmth. This is the 5th time this has happened to me in the last couple years while pondering on this mystery. 

I asked the Lord, what did this mean? How come every time I pondered on this topic, I feel this energy come into my hands and arms? Insomuch that my thumbs would lock to my fingers like magnets and I cannot pull them apart until the vibrating stops. Have I done something wrong, is there something wrong with me physically such as a mineral deficiency?  Or, is this from the Lord. Is it something good? While asking, I felt peaceful about it and felt the Spirit tell me, "Have patience, and more will be revealed to you soon."

This morning I was awakened at 3:30 am. There was a bright light pulsating in my room. It lit up the entire room. I had this feeling that I needed to go into my prayer closet. So I did. Once there, I felt prompted to pick up where I had left off in my scripture reading. So I did. And as I began to read in Doctrine and Covenants Section 8, I received the answer to my inquiry from the Lord and the final and powerful summary for this blog post message.

The heading reads;

Revelation comes by the power of the Holy Ghost; Knowledge of the mysteries of God... come by faith.

I inserted my name into the scripture and read, 

1  Lindsey  you [shall] receive a knowledge of whatsoever things you shall ask in faith, with an honest heart, believing that you shall receive...

2 Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.


3 Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground.

7 Behold, there is no other power, save the power of God, that can cause this gift of Aaron to be with you.

8 Therefore, doubt not, for it is the gift of God; and you shall hold it in your hands, and do marvelous works; and no power shall be able to take it away out of your hands, for it is the work of God.

9 And, therefore, whatsoever you shall ask me to tell you by that means, that will I grant unto you, and you shall have knowledge concerning it.

10 Remember that without faith you can do nothing; therefore ask in faith. Trifle not with these things; do not ask for that which you ought not.

11 Ask that you may know the mysteries of God... and according to your faith shall it be done unto you.

12 Behold, it is I that have spoken it; and I am the same that spake unto you from the beginning. Amen.

I felt warmth cover me from head to toe as I read this. I felt the Lord say, "Have no fear my daughter. You are on the right track. Because of your faith and obedience, you will be given wisdom to prepare you for what I have planned for you. There is so much to learn and so much more good for you to do, but do not be in a hurry. In my own due time I will reveal to you according to your needs and desires, the things that pertain to the plans I have for you. It will continue to come line upon line and the Holy Ghost will  continue to be your compass."

I believe that these words can apply to all of God's children. With righteous desires to seek, God will reveal to us according to His will. I believe it pleases Him when we desire the meat. It pleases Him when we ask. He has so much He wants to share. 


I testify of this in Jesus' name amen.
