After you have been baptized, and learnt the gospel, then We just need to endure to the end. And the patriachal blessing will help you to do that.

I have had a similar experience with my Patriarchal Blessing. It has been wonderful for me to see its promises and warnings unfold in my life.

Yes, I appreciate him too.

Yes, this quote from President Eyring was eye-opening to me as well. After I heard this quote, I made a copy of my blessing. I then highlighted in yellow everything that I considered to be “comforting” and highlighted in pink everything I considered to be “warning”. I discovered there is much more warning in it than I had previously understood.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Patriarchal Blessings. My own Patriarchal Blessing experience has been a wonderful journey as well, full of things I didn't understand as a younger person but has greatly helped me as my life progressed. I know the difference between manipulation and the true article. I have experienced a great deal of both in my life. There will always be those naysayers wanting to cast doubt, which reminds me of one of my favorite quote sentiments: "A person with an opinion can never undermine a person with experience".

ty, it's so true, for me also I was so excited after being baptized as a 21 yr old in 1973, and exactly, they are moved by the spirit and a very detailed blessing was given to me, spot on over and over and over, what a thrill it was. Watching millennials now leave the church, I don't think many of them really thought on that blessing they received.

Unfortunately for most of those close to me that have had a patriarchal blessing it is the opposite. The blessings they got were vague and general. Nothing special at all.

When I was given my Patriarchal Blessing, I was given the names of the spiritual gifts I had. Not knowing there were words, to describe my spiritual experiences. While things our Heavenly Parents had previously shown me, were confirmed. In a way I knew, could have only been Heavenly Inspired. And I found out that not only am I a Stick of Judea through my Jewish Mother. I am.... a Stick of Ephraim through my Direct Bloodline. A Unicorn and Lion, like on Britain's Queen Elizabeth's Family Crest.

seriously!! acting agent's of the devil? My patriarchal blessing was nothing but nonsense.

@@rabbithole2015 We will see.......

@@kdgeorge580 We will see what?

Casting out doubt and fear can be difficult for people. Focusing on Christ seems like a great place to start.

My patriarchal blessing has had many things in it that I really didn't understand completely until a specific time or event came in my life for it to be fulfilled. After so many experiences with this happening and helping me through times in my life, I now know it is true and I should pay attention.

The church is true. Stop listening to anti Mormon propaganda, it’s Satan

I’m right there with ya

You can always change to become your best friend instead of your worst enemy, but of course it takes work and consistency. Do what it takes. Start now. It is worth it.

Im actaully stating that my blessing warns me that I should keep the commandments 3 or more times. Im warned... Im my own worst enemy

@@ChildePC When we're down, the adversary hammers at our character via self doubt: "I was meant to be the great candy thief I was warned not to be... I'm a glutton by design and I'll never be better". This lie is saying "don't try". Warnings help us either avoid trouble -OR- at very least recognize that he knows us... to help us learn to listen more over time. If the moment we hit a wrong note, we stop practicing, we'll never improve. The way to improve is to keep practicing, to stay at the bench and stick with it.

Its never to late magnify blessings. Its never null if you are still alive and worthy.

Its not from the new testament, its from the old testament. He mentions that in HIS blessing, the patriarch giving the blessing quoted or used verbiage from the new testament chapter of 1st Corinthians, one of his favorite scriptures, indicating that each patriarchal blessing is personalized and different and proves that the Lord actually knows each and every one of us, as he is our Creator.

It's an old testament tradition, however the LDS church hijacked this practice, branded it and made it more accessible to the members, the problem is that even they themselves no longer believe it, they discontinued the role of Patriarch in 1979. I would recommend studying real church history and not the narrative that the church wants people to believe

@@FFM115 Thank you. I thought it was just a practice loosely based on the old testament blessings given by father to son. The LDS church is full of unbiblical practices and beliefs. Best to stick with solid scripture and doctrine.

The old testament. In Exodus after Moses build the temple in the Wilderness. Aaron Moses brother was called to be a patriarch, then Daniel and then David so on. The new testament speaks mostly about teachings like how to be a good person. Kingdom of God. Other stuff.

@@gabrielarivas586 Thanks for your reply, appreciate it. Don't know if you're LDS or not but to anyone who is, I recommend checking out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ea16fJOQ2Z6sfWQ.html May God bless and guide you.

This explanation from ChurchofJesusChrist.org: "During the October 1979 general conference, the office was discontinued due to the increased number of local stake patriarchs." Do you see this change as a problem? history.churchofjesuschrist.org/blog/a-history-of-patriarchs-and-patriarchal-blessings

Did you appreciate the blessing?

@@ChristianEternalism I appreciate Him every day

@@prov25two66 Was it Jesus that blessed you?

@@ChristianEternalism every day

@@rabbithole2015 indeed it was/is!

I realize things have been tough this last year with covid restrictions. Now that things are opening back up, I would suggest attending all single adult activities whenever they are available, staying the whole time, and getting to know as many people as possible.

No one claims the Church is perfect, without mistakes. Here is a list of quotes from Church leaders admitting so: www.quotempole.com/quotelist/6E ... Are you expecting perfection from imperfect men?

A Patriarchal blessing is not just for this life.

In the next life I plan to be gay then too

Thank you for your comment. You bring up a good point that I think many others who have watched this video and posted comments might also misunderstand. A Patriarchal Blessing does NOT contain things that MUST happen (as in the corrupt philosophy of predestination which denies free will). A Patriarchal Blessing is CONDITIONAL, listing POTENTIALITIES that MAY happen depending on our own choices. God always respects personal agency. Anyone who doesn't want "a bride and many children" should never be forced to do so, even if a blessing offers that potentiality. The "Patriarchal Blessings" page on ChurchofJesusChrist.org describes the conditional nature of Patriarchal Blessings, such as this quote: "Only by following the counsel in a patriarchal blessing can one receive the blessings contained therein."

Yes, sure, But I did not “choose” to be gay.

How come? Haha

Matthew 10:34-36... The Church will always have those in favor of and in opposition to it.

How so? What denominations do you include in "the Christian religion"?

yeah, President Eyring is just making up stories to make people feel good. Good one.

Along with the many negative attacks in this comments section, there are many positive statements from people (including myself) sharing what a wonderful thing a Patriarchal Blessing is. What sources are you expecting beyond the statements from those of us who have actually had a wonderful experience with Patriarchal Blessings?

@@arscheerio It is not because you don't believe them to be true that it means that they aren't.

Proven to be untrue on KZfaq, yep, vast right wing conspiracy, solved...also on youtube. It's not witchcraft anyway. Blessed be.

President Nelson has quite a few stories that ended up being false. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Paul Dunn can agree with me on that.

Please explain. The Eternalism perspective believes God is a part of the universe. Elder Orson Pratt: "The true God exists both in time and in space, and has as much relation to them as man or any other being. He has extension, and form, and dimension, as well as man. He occupies space; has a body, parts and passions." www.quotempole.com/quote/7WF

@@ChristianEternalism Indeed.

I re: to the "It's not God, it's the Universe" --I'm not sure that's an argument in disfavor or in favor. But as it's phrased, we probably agree. Should join the church if you're not already a member. We love new investigators 🍎

@@ChristianEternalism so you're saying it's fine to replace God with universe

@@ryantippins3300 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH man...I don't know if you did that on purpose but,,, good one

That has not been my experience. Have you actually received a Patriarchal Blessing?

@@ChristianEternalism yes and it was all rubbish the stake patrich got even my name wrong, my linerage as my granparents were jewish, got my responsibity for my calling incorrect mixed it up with another calling, anyway ward calling is temporay as it was! Only thing it said was i wd get married .well most people do anyway. So there you go .1st step to bern suspicious about the reality of the so called priesthood!!@

Do you have your patriarchal blessing?

@@ChristianEternalism I do.

What made you change your mind to believe that Elder Eyring is manipulative and Patriarchal Blessings are fortune telling?

@@ChristianEternalism a lot of things have helped me to reach these conclusions. For starters, with patriarchal blessings. The patriarchal blessings use the same tactics as any fortune teller or person who acts as a "mentalist." They provide overtly generalized "predictions" that could be true for just about anyone. All it takes is some general knowledge of the target, such as someone who is raised in the church. Eyring's example of his patriarchal blessing in the video is a perfect example of this, about how he will have a family someday. It is a pretty safe bet that just about everyone raised in the church will have a family at some point. Lots of blessings promise temple marriage or serving a full time mission. When those things don't happen then there is always an excuse that some of the "predictions" are meant in an eternal sense, as an deflection. Further, members are counseled to strive to work toward and strive to be "worthy" of the promises in the blessing. This is actually a situation where a self-fulfilling prophecy is created. It is called a Pygmalion effect, when someone thinks that something will happen, they consciously or unconsciously make it happen through their actions or inactions. As far as Eyring using his emotional inflections to manipulate his audience, it is easy for me to see a pattern. Often in the church emotional expression is used to create a similar response in the audience. This is because humans for the most part are empathetic, good, and kind people. If you laugh, others around you will laugh. If you cry, others will try to console you and will mirror your emotions. You can try this yourself, it is observable in any context. In the church we are told that our emotional feelings are the spirit talking to us. We call this the feelings of the spirit. The problem that I find is that I feel those same feelings in lots of other areas. I feel those feelings when standing before a beautiful mountain lake, readying a beautiful poem, or watching an inspiring movie, or music. Just because I feel these good feelings with these things does not mean that everything is a message from god or the spirit. Emotions are easily manipulated and are really a chemical process in our brain. As a member, I have often heard it said that people who have depression can't feel the spirit. Why is that? and how cruel is that for a god to deny someone who is really down and in a dark place to not be able to feel the spirit. Those are people who need to feel love, but can't. Eyring is a master at using his voice inflections. If you are wanting to know the types of examples of this, feel free to watch this KZfaq video of Eyring at fireside. It outlines all the different techniques he uses. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msmUpM1knMzGh6M.html

@@ChristianEternalism I appreciate your genuine request for more information.

Have you received a Patriarchal Blessing?

Christian Eternalism really?

No? ↑

Praying for you!

@@danielrasmussen2487 pray for those who lie and deceive

That's nothing new.

Putting a hand on an arm. You are soooo right. SCANDALOUS!!

If that's the case, I've been touched inappropriately by half the men I know.

Lol it's just out of care. When you are feeling the spirit and you're next to someone, you wanna reach out in pure love.

@@LuxuryPads90 Yeah. I had several bishops like that. So caring it left me with an anxiety disorder.

How

Learn to spell so we can understand better.

Brilliantly Spiritual

Yes, my blessing told me I would have sons and daughters. First four children, 2 boys and 2 girls. That sounds very much like a cold reading from a psychic, they can tell the future like that. Seriously, you don't know much about how this works if that's how you feel. A man literally meets you, puts his hands on you and speaks. You can't really get a cold reading.

@@drewhanna9057 of course you can. You don't understand the law of large numbers. You don't know how many others were told things that didn't happen.

@@drewhanna9057 and that so called blessing is a safe guess for an LDS woman

@@oriolesfan61 I'll give you that what I mentioned is a 3/8 probability, so not super safe, but not a huge stretch. But also, a cold reading? It's still sounds pretty silly to say. At the end of the day, I have seen so many miracles in my life personally, that even if the Lord didn't approve of this church, I know that He would understand why I thought He did. That's the best I can do, and I am fine with that.
