How in the world can I know what you know?

Have you ever heard someone's testimony and wished that you could say the same things with such conviction?

Well, I will be the first to admit that I've wished that. I've asked myself, "How do they know that with such conviction? I want to have an experience that will give me a strong experience that brings about a testimony like that." All the while that I was wishing for a strong conviction like my neighbor's testimony, I didn't realize that I already had one.

In the Book of Mormon, Alma the younger has an amazing experience where he is visited by an angel. He is struck dumb, and can't speak for days. During these few days, he experiences the pain and suffering of all his sins and the glory and relief of the atonement of Jesus Christ. In Alma 5:44-47 he says:

45 And this is not all. Do ye not suppose that I know of these things myself? Behold, I testify unto you that I do know that these things whereof I have spoken are true. And how do ye suppose that I know of their surety?

 46 Behold, I say unto you they are made known unto me by the Holy Spirit of God. Behold, I have fasted and prayed many days that I might know these things of myself. And now I do know of myself that they are true; for the Lord God hath made them manifest unto me by his Holy Spirit; and this is the spirit of revelation which is in me.

 47 And moreover, I say unto you that it has thus been revealed unto me, that the words which have been spoken by our fathers are true, even so according to the spirit of prophecy which is in me, which is also by the manifestation of the Spirit of God.

So after all these magnificient experiences that Alma had, the one that made the difference, that truly made his testimony was the manifestation of the Holy Ghost. As small as the feelings of the spirit may seem, I know that those feelings make all the difference in the world to me. That is how I know what I know. I haven't seen a vision. I haven't spoken with angels. But I have felt the presence of a member of the Godhead - the Holy Ghost. And I believe that is the greatest miracle of all.

Dios esta preparandonos

Yo y mi companera estamos preparandonos por 

"La Noche De Talentos" 

En el estilo de la rama de Rohnert Park IV.

Estamos planificando para las decoraciones, la comida, las invitaciones, etc. Queremos que los miembros de la rama disfruten esta noche de diversion, comida, y entretenimiento. Pero lo que queremos mas es que todas las personas en el mundo puedan disfrutar de la acompania del Espiritu Santo, y el refugio de su Salvador, Jesucristo. Aunque parece un poco extrano, esta sencilla noche de diversion es una herramienta para invitar a todos venir a Cristo, su Iglesia y sentir su espiritu. 

 Alma 16:16  Y no había desigualdad entre ellos; y el Señor derramó su Espíritu sobre toda la faz de la tierra a fin de preparar la mente de los hijos de los hombres, o sea, preparar sus corazones para recibir la palabra que se enseñaría entre ellos en el día de su venida,

Pero, ellos no van a venir sin una invitacion. Dios necesita nuestra ayuda. Nosotros somos las manos de Cristo, y necesitamos usarlas. Yo se que hay personas que estan preparadas por cada uno de los miembros de la rama. Dios esta preparando alguien para que nosotros la invitemos a Cristo. Es nuestra responsabilidad buscar estas personas.

2 Nefi 32: 5  Porque he aquí, os digo otra vez, que si entráis por la senda y recibís el Espíritu Santo, él os mostrará todas las cosas que debéis hacer.

Oren. Por favor, oren para que todos puedan ser guiado por el espiritu a las personas que estan buscando la verdad. Oren, y presten atencion a los sentimientos del espiritu santo. Tengan confianza que Dios tiene a alguien listo para ustedes. Tengan fe que el espiritu va a ayudarle encontrar estas personas.


Yo se que esta Iglesia es verdadero. Yo se que no hay coincidencias en esta vida. Dios tiene un proposito en donde estamos, con quien estamos, y cuando estamos. Yo se que todos necesitan el evangelio restaurado para que reciban la vida eterna. Nosotros lo tenemos. Ahora, necesitamos compartir nuestro gozo con los demas.
