40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 11
QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:
“Through the power of the Holy Ghost, my patriarchal blessing helped me understand my true eternal identity—who I really was and who I could become. … I knew that I was known and loved by my Heavenly Father and my Savior and that They were personally involved in my life. This helped me desire to draw closer to Them and increase my faith and trust in Them.”
–Randall K. Bennett
SCRIPTURE:
“…that my servant Hyrum may take the office of Priesthood and Patriarch, which was appointed unto him by his father, by blessing and also by right; That from henceforth he shall hold the keys of the patriarchal blessings upon the heads of all my people.”
-Doctrine and Covenants 124:91-92
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“I pray that members who have not yet received their patriarchal blessing will prayerfully seek to know when they are ready. I promise that if you prepare spiritually, your experience, like mine, will be sacred to you. I also pray that those who have already received their patriarchal blessing will study it and treasure it.”
–Randall K. Bennett
INVITATION TO ACT:
“A person who receives a patriarchal blessing should treasure its words, ponder them, and live to be worthy to receive the promised blessings in this life and in eternity.”
-General Handbook as quoted by Randall K. Bennett
A PROMISED BLESSING:
“I testify that patriarchal blessings do provide inspired direction from Heavenly Father. I bear my witness of the living reality of our Father in Heaven and His Son—our Savior, Jesus Christ—who know us, love us, and desire to bless us.”
-Randall K. Bennett
REFLECTION QUESTION:
How has my patriarchal blessing helped me throughout my life?
