D&C 124 - Come Follow Me with Sam

 Section 124 Quick fire verses vs. 5 - recurring theme from 121 vs 27 etc. - God asks the saints to again build a house to Him, reminiscent of the revelations in section 94, 97, etc. vs 47, 48 etc. - God gives blessings and cursings for following or not following His word. This is a great reminder for us to do as we said, and that the blessings are tied to us following them.

D&C 121-123 - Come Follow Me with Sam

 Welcome! D&C 121 -123 are very rich. There is a lot going on in my life right now, so I don't have the time to do these sections justice. I'm going to give some pointers to help, and hopefully I can come back to this sometime and add to what there is to find. Section 121 section 121 starts out with soul cry. soul cry is a plea that goes beyond flesh and goes beyond emotion or feeling and comes straight from one eternal being to another eternal being. From a soul to a soul, so to speak. When this happens, the universe hears, and feels it. That is one of the reasons these next sections are so rich. By the way, I think everything we do, good or bad, happy or sad, is soul cry to God's ears. Here, God answers with a reminder that He knows what is happening, He is a God of Justice, a God of Mercy, and a God by which all things will flow according to His Order. <- keep this last part in mind for the rest of the section. He says something very interesting in part 3: For God...

D&C 115-120 - Come Follow Me with Sam

 Welcome! Section 115 More temple building! Section 116 Super cool deepish-type doctrine. Anything Ante-Diluvian feels like it was part of the mysteries Section 117 Much like lessons in the Book of Mormon, sometimes it is time to move and time to move now Section 118 It is good for us to gather together and strengthen each other Section 119 Tithing is a law of Holiness and a law of Sanctification Section 120 Organization of the highest councils of the church

D&C 111-114 - Come Follwo me with Sam

 Welcome! Section 111 check out verse 1 'I am not displeased with your coming this journey, notwithstanding your follies'. There is a lot to learn from this. There is also a lot of comfort that God says, just focus on Zion, the rest is going to be okay. Section 112 some other great verses in 2 and 3 - 'there have been some few things in thine heart and with thee with which I, the Lord was not well pleased'. Nevertheless, inasmuch as thou hast abased thyself thou shalt be exalted; therefore all thy sins are forgiven thee. Section 113 Section 113 is another Q&A which I just love! my favorite is vs 7 and 8. There is an important principle. There are many who worship God in their own way across the world. The plea here, from Isaiah is that those people embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ full enough to enter into the order of His priesthood and have the fulness of power to accomplish His work on the earth. The strength of Zion is the Priesthood, the power of God manifest...

D&C 109-110 - Come Follow Me with Sam

 Welcome! This is the first temple dedication prayer of this dispensation!!!! there is a lot to learn here! Section 109 some quick-fire lessons Joseph Smith did a return and report, mentioning the commandments the saints and received and fulfilled saints were blessed with power ask that all who worship in this house be taught words of wisdom out of the best books, seek learning by study and by faith obtain every needful thing speedily repent and return to God when in transgression overcome enemies break the yoke from the necks of God's servants reaffirm the preciousness of souls reference to the blood of the saints crying as a witness to God reminder that kingdom was set up without hands sing hosanna to God and the Lamb (I want to go to that congregation for worship one day ;) Section 110 Section 110 is a recorded witness of one of the most sacred experiences in the Kirtland temple.
