Becoming More Powerful Priesthood Holders

By doing what the Sons of Mosiah and other powerful missionaries will make us better able to help others.

We can be more powerful priesthood holders by using the Book of Mormon.

We can turn the Book of Mormon into the best read and best applied book in our life

1. Feast upon the words of Christ
2. Apply in our lives all that we learn about Christ
3. Teach the doctrine and principles found in the sacred pages of the Book of Mormon
• we should be able to quote teachings from the Book of Mormon

I will never forget my feelings when, as a young boy in Uruguay, I read this sacred book for the very first time. I did not have to read much in 1 Nephi to experience such a joy that it cannot be expressed with words. It was as if the book was permeated with the Spirit of the Lord and made me feel closer to God.

Once I received a testimony of the Book of Mormon, the natural feeling that followed was a desire to apply the teachings of the book by making covenants.

The purpose of Book of Mormon is not to become a best seller. Nevertheless, we can turn this sacred book into a best-read and best-applied book in our life.

Teach the doctrine and principles found in the sacred pages of the Book of Mormon. We can teach anyone from this book. Can you imagine the additional “convincing power of God” when missionaries and family members quote, read, or repeat by heart the book’s very words?

I know that families will be fortified by implementing the teachings of this great book in their lives. Many of our children will be saved because they will remember, as Enos did, the words which he had often heard his father speak concerning eternal life, and because of this, he came to know that his sins were forgiven through the Atonement of Christ.
