So many voices shouting, \u201cLo, here, Lo there!\u201d is not an exaggeration. YET, when we commit ourselves to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and ask for His spirit to be with us (which we do every time we partake of the sacrament), from that point on, it is up to us to follow through with this desire and understand this spiritual power and truly ask for it to be a part of our lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/general-conference\/1984\/10\/spiritual-power?lang=eng\">\u201cSpiritual Power\u201d<\/a> \u2013Devere Harris<\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>\u201cWe can each have access to those great spiritual blessings and that great power used by David and Moses\u2014but there is a price to pay. Let me quote: \u2018There are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen? Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson\u2014That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/scriptures\/dc-testament\/dc\/121.34-36?lang=eng\">(D&amp;C 121:34-36).<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>\u201cNow, brothers and sisters, what were the powers of Heaven? They caused the lame to walk, the blind to see, the dead to rise. And through these same powers the earth was organized. But here is the key\u2014the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness. The key, then, to the future and to the use of these spiritual blessings is personal righteousness.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">We read about miracles all the time in the scriptures, but do we believe in miracles today? Do we believe that through our righteousness we can perform miracles because of the spirit that comes through us? And I\u2019m talking to women here, not men.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">How many journals have we read, by the early sister Saints, of healings, speaking and singing in tongues, and manifestations of the spirit overflowing in Relief Society meetings? These women recognized the spiritual power given to them and their unified righteousness allowed them these never-to-be-forgotten testimonies that God lives and loves them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/general-conference\/1984\/10\/protect-the-spiritual-power-line?lang=eng\">\u201cProtect the Spiritual Power Line\u201d\u2014<\/a>Russell M. Nelson<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">His talk is a warning to us, to not do anything that cuts off our spiritual connection with God. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>\u201cPower, if misused, can cut into the very source of that power.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He states that the unrighteous use of priesthood authority will sever our connection. Women need to understand that they can receive spiritual power because of the priesthood, and through the priesthood, on a very personal level. We all can receive spiritual power through prayer and personal righteousness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Relief Society Sisters and Spiritual Power<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In these talks, we learn that we must recognize that spiritual power exists and that we have full access to it. We also learn that spiritual power comes from personal righteousness, and unrighteousness to any degree will lessen the spiritual power we have access to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There are sisters in our church who don\u2019t understand spiritual power. They think it belongs only to the men. They couldn\u2019t be more wrong. This power is given to anyone who demonstrates righteousness. Personal righteousness can be defined as choosing God and leaving the world behind. When we choose to live by the spirit, we will see its power through miracles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As individuals, this is a wonderful thing. But as entire Relief Societies, this can be monumental.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Women are amazing. We really can do anything. And we like to be involved and make things happen. There are amazing women who join worldly causes, but as Elder Nelson said, \u201cOne can be anxiously engaged in a meaningless cause.\u201d Make sure your cause centers upon Jesus Christ and His purposes, because that is the only worthwhile cause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Many women are non-committal when it comes to getting involved outside of their homes and their families. Again, Elder Nelson points out, \u201cAn electrical appliance <em>consumes<\/em> power. The use of His spiritual power <em>replenishes<\/em> our power.\u201d When we join the cause for Christ our spiritual power will actually increase and energize us and make it so much easier to accomplish the work of heaven, as we turn from the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Heavenly Father has called upon His daughters to gather Israel and He offers us all of His spiritual power to do it. These talks are great motivating talks to further our understanding so we can catch hold, cling, and continue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/scriptures\/bofm\/1-ne\/8?lang=eng\">(1 Ne. 8<\/a>) to use this spiritual power for His righteous purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Think of Deborah. There are prophetesses among us.

I am a wife, mother of six, and grandmother of six. Besides enjoying my research into the history of the Relief Society, I also read voraciously, make art quilts, and volunteer for too many things. I am also working on a Creative Writing degree from BYU\u2019s online program. Most of all, I have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.","sameAs":["https:\/\/reliefsocietywomen.com","Jan"],"url":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/author\/jtolman\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/deborah.jpg?fit=400%2C620&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10678"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10678\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10687,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10678\/revisions\/10687"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
