READ THIS PARTI'm pretty sure every missionary in the Taiwan Taipei mission is going to write about the same thing because we all witnessed an incredible event this week.
Todays spiritual thought is about how God is the same yesterday, today and forever:
When Elder Cook spoke to us this week, I received a very strong personal confirmation that he is a prophet of God. He is no ordinary man. The only other time I have received a spiritual confirmation with this level of clarity is when President Nelson was set apart as the President of the church! The only way I can describe it is that I got chills and the words "this man is a prophet of God" came clearly and suddenly to my mind. God speaks to His children through the Holy Ghost! God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
In his address to us, he shared a very special witness of Jesus Christ. When he bore testimony of him, it was clear--everyone who was in that room can testify--that Elder Cook truly knows Jesus Christ is alive, and that he is our Savior. It reminded me of this scripture in 2 Nephi 26:
13 And that he manifesteth himself unto all those who believe in him, by the power of the Holy Ghost; yea, unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, working mighty miracles, signs, and wonders, among the children of men according to their faith.
God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
The words of this scripture are still true for us today!
God can work miracles, give us signs and wonders, and even manifest himself to us in the same way He has always done. The things that happen in the scriptures are real! Things have not changed!
One of the miracles and marvelous works of this day is the Gathering of Israel.
I am so incredibly grateful to be in a place where I can, in step with the Apostles, obey Christ's divine call to feed his sheep. This was his final message to His Apostles after he was resurrected--I think its easy reduce that divine call to being a part of the scriptures or to being something Christ said to his Apostles only, but God is the same yesterday, today and forever! The call to feed the Lords sheep cries out from the dust and should ring in our ears today!
I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer, and that He lives. He is the same yesterday, today and forever and has called us to feed His sheep! I bear witness of these things and invite all to remember what is actually important in life, and act. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
