40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 37
TALK: “Miracles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ" by Elder Carlos G. Revillo Jr.
JESUS CHRIST:
“When we accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ and joined the Church, we changed our ways and our culture to align to the gospel. We had to let go of wrong traditions.”
–Carlos G. Revillo Jr.
SCRIPTURE:
“And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual.”
–Mosiah 2:41
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“As we live and obey the principles and ordinances of the gospel, we are blessed, changed, and converted to becoming more like Jesus Christ. That was how the gospel changed and blessed the Filipino Saints, including my family. The gospel is truly the way to a happy, abundant life.”
–Carlos G. Revillo Jr.
INVITATION TO ACT:
“I invite you to bring this miracle into your life. Come unto Jesus Christ and choose to exercise your faith in Him; repent and make and keep the covenants found in the ordinances of salvation and exaltation. This will allow you to be yoked with Christ and receive the power and blessings of godliness.”
– Carlos G. Revillo Jr.
PROMISED BLESSING:
“I testify of the reality of Jesus Christ and that He lives and loves each one of us. I know that His gospel can bring us hope, peace, and joy, not only now, but it will also bless countless others in future generations.”
–Carlos G. Revillo Jr.
REFLECTION QUESTION:
- How has my definition of repentance changed over the years?
LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:
VISUAL LEARNERS: Find photos on “Family Search’” (familysearch.org) of my ancestors who paved the way before me as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
MY THOUGHTS:
Miracles happen as we sacrifice.
The sweet story Elder Revillo told about the Obedoza family in the Phillippines reminded me of a family on my mission.
I served in the Guayaquil Ecuador Missions (yes I was in 3 different missions in Guayaquil in 18 months).
The Avendano family similarly sacrificed greatly to go as a family to the Lima Peru Temple to be sealed eternally. The Lord blessed them and provided a way for them to attend the temple–even when finances did not work out on paper.
What a sweet reminder that as we yoke ourselves to Jesus Christ through covenant–He is bound to provide the means and the way!
