"Ye are swift to do iniquity but slow to remember the Lord your God.
Ye have seen an angel, and he spake unto you; yea, ye have heard his
voice from time to time; and he hath spoken unto you in a still small
voice, but ye were past feeling, that ye could not feel his words;
wherefore, he has spoken unto you like unto the voice of thunder,
which did cause the earth to shake as if it were to divide asunder. And
ye also know that by the power of his almighty word he can cause the
earth that it shall pass away; yea, and ye know that by his word he
can cause the rough places to be made smooth, and smooth places shall
be broken up. O, then, why is it, that ye can be so hard in your
hearts? Behold, my soul is rent with anguish because of you, and my
heart is pained; I fear lest ye shall be cast off forever. Behold, I
am full of the Spirit of God, insomuch that my frame has no strength."
1 Nephi 17:45-47
"O that ye would awake; awake from a deep sleep, yea, even from the
sleep of hell, and shake off the awful chains by which ye are bound,
which are the chains which bind the children of men, that they are
carried away captive down to the eternal gulf of misery and woe. And
now that my soul might have joy in you, and that my heart might
leave this world with gladness because of you, that I might not be
brought down with grief and sorrow to the grave, arise from the dust,
my sons, and be men, and be determined in one mind and in one heart,
united in all things, that ye may not come down into captivity; Awake,
my sons; put on the armor of righteousness. Shake off the chains with
which ye are bound, and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from
the dust."
2 Nephi 1:13,21,23
"Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently
and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you."
Doctrine & Covenants 88:63
"And it came to pass that after Aaron had expounded these things unto
him, the king said: What shall I do that I may have this eternal life
of which thou hast spoken? Yea, what shall I do that I may be born
of God, having this wicked spirit rooted out of my breast, and receive
his Spirit, that I may be filled with joy, that I may not be cast off
at the last day? O God, Aaron hath told me that there is a God; and
if there is a God, and if thou art God, wilt thou make thyself known
unto me, and I will give away all sins to know thee, and that I may
be raised from the dead, and be saved at the last day."
Alma 22:15,18
"And konw ye that ye shall be judges of this people, according to the
judgement which I shall give unto you, which shall be just. Therefore,
what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as
I am."
3 Nephi 27:27
"For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God;
yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their
labors. And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many
witnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate
the day of your repentance until the end; for after this day of life,
which is given to us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not
improve your time while in this life, then cometh the night of
darkness wherein there can be no labor preformed."
Alma 34:32-33
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but
to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light
of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do
men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light
so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify
your Father wich is in heaven."
Matthew 5:13-16
(Are you his people too? ^_^)
"And all those who were with me did take upon them to call themselves
the people of Nephi."
2 Nephi 5:9
If you look at the first letters in each promise ... A ask, S seek,
K knock, you'll see that the letters spell ASK. I have a testimony
that if we do ask, seek, and knock that Heavenly Father will be right
there to help us with any of our needs. I've tried it and He is
there! He always keeps his promises to us and the blessings will come
if we just do our part. - Sister Kinney
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it
shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he
that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
Matthew 7:7-8
