Power was a common theme this week for me!
First of all I have been thinking about and studying about Priesthood Power and how one can obtain more. One way is through obedience. Christ was exactly obedient to the will of the Father and He was therefore able to complete the Atonement (Matt. 26:39) Something so complex to understand in its entirety.
Gratitude also brings power. It shows you can't rely on yourself. It shows you how much you have been given. It helps you become humble and submit to serve. You see others differently. You see in a small way how God sees them.
Our power went out this week in our apartment. No power for 2 hours. The Spirit taught me during those two hours. Here are some of the impressions I received.
•Am I physically prepared if the power was out for 2 weeks? Enough food and water?
•Just like we weren't expecting the power to go out we won't know when Jesus is going to come again
•Am I spiritually prepared if Christ came today? (Romans 13:11-14, Alma 5:26-40)
•Repentance is everything
I learned another valuable lesson about the dear Sisters in the church and the role we play in working together in the work. My companion and I were trying to plan a meeting with three Sister missionaries. There was an issue that we were trying to solve but no matter what we tried we could not seem to find a solution. During this moment I realized one of the Sisters had not said a word for the entire duration of the meeting. I asked her if she had any impressions. She did. As she shared the Spirit testified to all of us present that this was the answer to our problem. It was a miracle. How grateful I am for the Spirit and worthy instruments who follow its whispers.
Much love!
