THIS IS THE WEEKEND WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!


Lead by LIVING PROPHETS OF GOD

Good Morning, Sisters!!! Doesn't General Conference weekends....have the most incredible "different" feel....than most OTHER WEEKENDS!!!!??? For me...it is like no other....except the weekends I gave birth to a new child or my wedding weekend...(smile) But, truly....I hope all of you...have set these next 48 hours...to be clued to "sit at the feet of "living prophets" of God...

MANY years ago...when our children were quite YOUNG....we gathered our little brood and headed for a REGIONAL CONFERENCE here in Florida...Of course, we kept telling the children they were going to see REAL PROPHETS and APOSTLES....IN PERSON!!!!

After we got everyone settled....and the BRETHREN started to walk onto the stage to sit down...and leaned over to my children and said..."Here they come...there are the APOSTLES"!!! To which, Caleb turns to me IN AWE.....and said..."I can't believe they are STILL ALIVE!" I know they must looked "old" to our children.....but, certainly not THAT OLD....and then....slowly the light bulb went off in my head.....All this time....Caleb was thinking that PETER, JAMES, and JOHN...were coming to our Conference....It never occured to me...he had been envisioning....THOSE APOSTLES...when we were talking about seeing REAL APOSTLES...(smile)

I suppose...in that incident....lies its own message...The WORLD of Christiandom...who love the APOSTLES of the NEW TESTAMENT....reject....there are LIVING PROPHETS/APOSTLES, today.... However, still for many Christians...they simply have not been told or know there are LIVING APOSTLES who are receiving the WILL and MIND of God....What they are missing....but what a BLESSING...for each of us...to TRULY KNOW THERE ARE LIVING PROPHETS OF GOD ON THE EARTH...with the same AUTHORITY as PETER, JAMES, and JOHN....!!! (smile)
It will be a THRILL to know...what YOU learned during Conference...PLEASE, share your thoughts and insights...this COMING WEEK...Starting NEXT Sunday...we will BEGIN with the first address...and see if we can't get through the ENTIRE CONFERENCE before the next one starts...(smile) MY THOUGHTS and PRAYERS...is that we all come away from this Conference filled with revelation for our families...as individuals...and as Saints...
May the Spirit be with all of us this day...
