Jesus said: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16:17-18)

D&C 35:8
"For I am God, and mine arm is not shortened; and I will show miracles, signs, and wonders, unto all those who believe on my name."
He says ALL. Not some. He will show them to ALL who believe in His name.
He doesn't say He MAY show them. He says that He WILL show them.
What does it mean to believe on the name of Jesus?

“We didn’t come down here to earth just to have medical problems and be fixed by doctors and just go back to return to heaven, we came down here for a spiritual purpose- to overcome sin, to be proven, and tested. And the spiritual purpose is the most important one.”

Tell us exactly when you were in heaven prior to coming down. I think that you are terribly decieved. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

How have you been blessed by hearing or reading of others' spiritual experiences? If you are struggling to feel the Holy Spirit-the Comforter-in your life, take time today to find a quiet place and pour out your honest, unfiltered thoughts and feelings to God. Tell Him what is going on in your heart and in your life. Listen, and be prepared to receive. Act on any guidance that comes. Helps is on it's way. He loves you so much. Also, reach out to the most trusted spiritual person in your life and ask them to pray for you. I promise you, a door will be opened for you. Also, reply to this comment with your favorite verses 🕮 about spiritual gifts🕊!

1 Corinthians 12:4-7 "Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal."

Thank you for your feedback and your prayer! It means a lot whenever someone says they have been helped. I am trying to follow the promptings I'm getting, and even though been nervous in the past to share, I'm taking a leap of faith now because I'm feeling the confidence of the Spirit with me.

Hi Daniel, greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 Wow, what an amazing faithful man you are! Thank you for this video! I prayed the other day and asked Heavenly Father what He would like me to study, and the answer came, spiritual gifts. So I started to do that, and now today, your video pops up in my feed! A coincidence? I think not. Thank you for being a sharp instrument in the hands of the Lord. Oh and a tip for your medical career, study the effects of nutrition, a bad diet is a powerful driver of disease and sickness. Subscribed 👍🏻 Look forward to future videos 😊

Wow, that is amazing to hear! It sounds like you are very in tune with Him and I'm sure you have many experiences of your own you could share regarding spiritual gifts. That's something that has been impressed upon me lately. Behind the strength of so many faithful latter-day saints is a wealth of experiences with the manifestations of the Spirit. They know the truth because they've had so many experiences with God. Not everyone hears the voice of the Good Shepherd, but His sheep do and they follow Him. John 10:27-28 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." That's why I am using the dove symbol. Because His sheep will hear the Spirit's voice and respond. God will confirm truth to them.

And yes, nutrition is so important. If you can have good exercise, sleep, and nutrition, that is like the physical health equivalent of prayer, scripture study, and church. Alma 37:6 "Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise." Exercise, nutrition, and sleep are small and simple things, but they are much more effective from a public health standpoint than having an army of cardiologists and surgeons with scalpels and medications to treat high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. The latter can try to reduce the negative impact of lifestyle choices, but primary prevention through the basics is much more powerful and leads to better outcomes and quality of life.

I could say so many things, but all I will say right now is AMEN to EVERYTHING you shared in this intro. I am right there with you and feel there is indeed a great need for this type of sharing/communication. Most of the "abnormal" experiences I have been blessed with as a daughter of God has helped me beyond measure...but it was very clear they are not just for me. I am to share them to whoever will or needs to hear them. There are very few spiritual experiences (thus far) that I have been told not to share.

@DanielSharonTveten Жыл бұрын

It makes me so happy that you appreciated this and that you also see the need for it. My wife pointed out to me that in the pre-existence we “overcame [the adversary] by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of our testimony.” We need to be raising our voices in testimony and applying His redeeming blood in our own lives in this stage of the spiritual battle as well!

Also, I love that you also feel the burden placed upon you to share what you have received. Elder Eyring says he received a very similar prompting: O Remember, Remember October 2007 “He smiled, spoke softly, and then rushed past me into the darkness to go on with his work. I took a few steps toward the house, thinking of what he was doing for us, and just as I got to the door, I heard in my mind-not in my own voice-these words: ‘I’m not giving you these experiences for yourself. Write them down.’ “I went inside. I didn’t go to bed. Although I was tired, I took out some paper and began to write. And as I did, I understood the message I had heard in my mind. I was supposed to record for my children to read, someday in the future, how I had seen the hand of God blessing our family.” www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2007/10/o-remember-remember?lang=eng

@@DanielSharonTveten I can't tell you how many "witnesses" I am receiving about "The Word" and "words" in general. It's just amazing. This is telling me I need to dig in A LOT deeper. On a personal note, I have always struggled with "speaking with my own voice" due to various abuses and attacks of the adversary throughout my life. Now, because of the love/mercy of my Heavenly Father, I am being shown the worth and value of MY voice. We all have a voice that needs to be heard - especially when it comes to helping build the kingdom of God. You mentioned your wife was speaking of the pre-existence. We know we made promises. We know we "knew" things about coming here. But what I learned about myself about 5 years ago after years of abuse/depression/CPTSD...is that the adversary knew about me. He knew about the "potential" of my voice. He DID NOT WANT ME SPEAKING. And because of that he tried his best to take me out and almost succeeded. I am NOT special. These types of attacks are happening to many. It is an interesting process to go through to say the least. What I do know is this. I was NEVER alone. My Savior has me. Through every moment. And ironically, what the adversaries tried to do only made me stronger in the end. Like a Star Wars Jedi knight, I am more powerful now than ever before.🤗 The trick is on them. Because now, "I know things". My faith and testimony are unshakeable. There is NOTHING that could be "done to me" that would make me deny my God. I know that is a lofty statement, but I think of those in the Book of Mormon who had to watch heinous things done to their loved ones for not denying God and Christ. I am now in that camp. I can be in that camp because of the pure knowledge and trust I have in my Father and Savior Jesus Christ. Every voice matters. We need to fight for our voice. It is indeed a battle of good and evil. And THAT is why we need to share spiritual experiences so that people know they are REAL. They happen. They can be prayed for and expected. It is a promise to us if we are striving to do good.

So appreciate the reference to "Stand Forever". One of the greatest talks ever given by a general authority and is in correlation with Elder Eyring's 4th stage you were referring to earlier in the presentation. You're doing a great work here. BTW, I'm sure you're related to our area's former mission president (TX San Antonio Mission), President Tveten. He's a great man.

This is completely off topic, but I just felt to tell you that my daughter leaves for her full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in just a few short hours!!! 😢❤ She's going to Leeds England and will be in the Preston England MTC for about 3 weeks. They recently lengthened her time there to be among the very first Missionaries with a new curriculum that includes more temple study and attendance, focusing more on Eternal principals including eternal families. She shares my same last name. 😊

I enjoyed listening to this podcast. I found it inspiring and will share thoughts as they come to me. I have always felt that I was kind of average. (My high school GPA was 2.0. looking back I realize that much of that had to do with how much I applied myself 🤣) But there are blessings that have come with that. Consider our sense of hearing. if it was 10 times worse, it would make conversation difficult. If it were 10 times better, we probably would not be able to go to sleep. Perhaps it keeps me humble or at least it should. Thanks again Daniel.

@DanielSharonTveten Жыл бұрын

You are totally right that GPA has a lot to do with simply how diligent you are in school and how much you value trying to get those grades. I have a brother who is doing semi-professional floorball and starting with a professional team next year. He is really smart, but he values the floorball more which makes sense to me.

Preach the gospel, you can't ask for sign gifts, they ended before Paul died. This is false doctrine and you would know this if you STUDIED the Bible. Why do you need sign gifts in the first place? You are part of the church that lost its first love, get in that King James Bible and study. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Sign gifts were for the first century apostles, not some end time circus.
