Do you feel like your sins are unforgivable, or that you're not doing enough? What is the power of the Melchizedek Priesthood, and how did it get its name? D&C 106-108 offers answers that will bring peace to your soul and deepen your understanding of the Lord’s kingdom.
Summary: In this episode, we explore D&C 106-108, beginning with two lesser-known members, Warren A. Cowdery and Lyman Sherman. Their personal revelations provide powerful insights into scrupulosity and toxic perfectionism. We'll learn how to "let your soul be at rest concerning your spiritual standing" while still being "more careful henceforth".
Next, we dive into the organizational and doctrinal revelations of D&C 107. We will uncover the true nature of the Melchizedek Priesthood, its authority to "administer in spiritual things" and the incredible blessing to "enjoy the communion and presence of God". We'll also explore why the "Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God" was renamed out of "reverence" for God's name, and how this applies to us today. The section on the organization of quorums, including the First Presidency, the Twelve Apostles, and the Seventy, will help us understand the unique blend of hierarchy and democracy in the Lord’s Church. We'll examine the principle of unanimous decisions and the attributes required for righteous counsel.
Finally, we'll look at the powerful, prophetic gathering at Adam-ondi-Ahman, where Adam gave his last blessing and predicted all that would befall his posterity. This lesson is a profound reminder of the Lord's mercy, the power of His priesthood, and the sacred history that connects us to our first parents.
