THIS SUNDAY is Fast Sunday
General Conference is the following Saturday and
Sunday, the 31st and the 1st.
Below is a lesson summary from Sunday's lesson on
sustaining church leaders - perfect timing for General Conference!
Consider to yourself ways that we can sustain our church
leaders - how is it done?
-By seeking a testimony that they are called of God
-By being willing to listen to them (time)
-Heeding their counsel
-Praying for them
-keep the commandments
-Exercise your free agency and CHOOSE to support them!
In the world, leaders are chosen by the most qualified and
most influential people. In the kingdom of the Lord, however, the Lord helps qualify
those that he has called.
What our faith that our leaders have been called of
God is strengthened as we do those things that they have asked of us
(D&C 21:1-4)
Some sisters mentioned specific counsel from the 1st
Presidency of the Church that has strengthened their testimonies:
-Doctrine of the Family
-Counsel to have an Attitude of Gratitude
-Debt Avoidance
**if you are seeking their counsel, read the Presidency
Message found in our monthly Ensign and apply that counsel! Also, focus on
counsel given in General Conference
How about the focus of our Stake Presidency? To have each
member bring someone to church and focus on the Ward Mission Plan
General Relief Society Presidency? Do something
Extraordinary!
Blessings are poured out upon us as we heed the counsel of
our leaders. We find ourselves and our families happier, there is more unity
among us, we find clarity on difficult issues, and we can grow personally in
our testimonies.
Love you all -
The PU2 Relief Society Presidency
