“Building a Life Resistant to the Adversary” by Jorge F. Zeballos

40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 16

TALK: “Building a Life Resistant to the Adversary” by Jorge F. Zeballos

QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:

“But what is truly relevant is that for having followed the divinely designed plans and specifications, that is, the gospel of Jesus Christ, we are still standing. The structure of our lives has not been demolished because of the adversary’s efforts or for difficult situations that we have had to face; rather, we are ready to move forward.”

-Jorge F. Zeballos

SCRIPTURE:

“I, Nephi, having been ​​​born​ of ​​​goodly​ ​​​parents​, therefore I was ​​​taught​ somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many ​​​afflictions​ in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a ​​​record​ of my proceedings in my days.”

-1 Nephi 1:1

INSPIRING QUOTE:

“The Savior Himself, at the beginning of His ministry, ‘was left to be tempted of the devil.’ But Jesus emerged successful from that great trial. How did having an attitude of anti-Satan or anti-temptation serve Him? What made Jesus emerge triumphant from these most difficult moments was His spiritual preparation, which permitted Him to be in a condition to resist the temptations of the adversary.”

–Jorge F. Zeballos

INVITATION TO ACT:

“I pray that we may continue to build our lives following the plans and technical specifications of the divine design authored by our Father and achieved through our Savior, Jesus Christ. Thus, because of the grace that reaches us through the Atonement of our Savior, we will be successful in constructing a life resistant to sin, resistant to temptation, and strengthened to endure the sad, difficult times in our lives. And furthermore, we will be in a condition to access all the blessings promised through the love of our Father and our Savior.”

-Jorge F. Zeballos

A PROMISED BLESSING:

“The Lord always provides us with help when we face adversity, temptation, incomprehension, infirmities, and even death. He has said, ‘And now, verily I say unto you, and what I say unto one I say unto all, be of good cheer, little children; for I am in your midst, and I have not forsaken you.’ (Doctrine and Covenants 61:36)  He will never abandon us!”

-Jorge F. Zeballos

REFLECTION QUESTION:

  • What spiritual strength have I found through fasting?

LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:

NATURE LEARNERS: Note all the references Elder Zeballos makes to things in nature while reading or listening to his talk.

MY THOUGHTS:

It was so good to have the reminder that the Savior answered with scripture. Do I have scriptures ready to give an answer in trying times? Do I have scriptures of comfort to share with a friend or family member in need? Can I recall scripture for myself at a moment’s notice? Scriptures don’t need to be memorized word-for-word. We can recall phrases or teachings from scripture in times of need to bring comfort and assurance or to testify of truth.–Erin
