I appreciate the opportunity of being here. This is the father of the night in my country. This meeting is a revelation given to the prophet Joseph Smith. To you, speaking to the prophet Joseph Smith. The keys of this kingdom will never be taken from you. Thou thou art in the world.

Neither from the world to come. There is a voice of the Lord, turning to the keys of the kingdom of God. The prophet Joseph Smith holds them, and will hold them, according to this wisdom statement. Now, the prophet Joseph Smith said, If any man preach any other gospel than that which I have preached, he shall be cursed.

And some of you who now hear me shall see it and know that I testify with truth and sin. Then he went on to say, Prophet, it is thought by some that our enemies would be satisfied with my destruction. But I tell you that as soon as they have shed my blood, they will thirst for the blood of every man.

in whose heart dwells the single spark of the spirit of the fullness of the God. The opposition of these men is moved by the spirit of the adversary of all righteousness that is not only to destroy me, but every man and woman who dares believe a doctrine that God has in him. inspired me to preach to this generation. And now there's a picture of your government system. George Smith holds the key to this dispensation in this generation. And if we preach any other gospel, a gospel that he has preached, you will be cursed. And if we do preach it, Satan will seek to kill us, if we even believe it. So there's a picture.

that presents itself to every saint. With this in mind, would it be not better, far better, if we could develop the habit of the Prophet Joseph Smith leading us as safely as possible through this lone and gray world to our final degree of exaltation. With these two pictures before us, That we will be cursed if we teach any doctrine that Joseph Smith cannot uphold because he holds the key to our redemption in connection with Jesus Christ. And that Satan has signified that he will destroy everyone who dares believe that Joseph Smith is God. It looks like that we need the direction of heaven to walk.

In other words, it appears to me that if there is any degree of salvation or fear in hereafter, it will be because we have yielded to the direction of the priesthood of God. And the greater our ability to yield to its direction, the greater... will be its direction to us. For it will feel the force to lead and direct us. It's necessary for us to increase our faith in the Lord. It is because of unbelief that we have been placed under condemnation. So we must begin to believe Joseph Smith, Father Adam, perhaps offered the first and most simplest principle, eluding to taking direction. As he played the drama out for the sake of his children, he offered sacrifices to the Lord. And as the great drama went on, an angel appeared to him and said, Why are you doing this? Why are you offering these sacrifices? The wonderful key that he first gave his children.

I know not. Praised my father a correction. Habit taken correction. And then the prophet, he holds the keys to this distance. Shortly before he died, said, I have made this my rule, that when the Lord commands, I obey. Even though I may not understand why. until long after the event transpired. So he learned obedience while he was here. Jesus Christ learned obedience while he was here. And so the capacity, the desire, and the habit that we developed in yielding obedience to the powers of heaven is the key to our success.

in this life and in this life. And the man or the woman who gains a whole world in knowledge and character, who doesn't develop this capacity and habit, will sooner or later find a crisis that will take them away from the Lord for a very worthy reason. And so to us, this could be our first lesson.

This, well as I do, that we move by habit. There will come a time, near future, when the other brethren, under the direction of the Lord, will sit in certain places, and people will go before them, and say, Brethren, I would give my life if I could just do this. While they're heading to, the brethren sitting before them will bow their head.

Nothing can be done. Because the desire is that the development of character and habit is not the secret. And this is the time that we should get our training. The closer we yield to the powers of heaven, the more the powers of heaven will come closer to us and direct and give up. Because I want to tell you, history is concentrated in God and Jesus.

influence that man might bear is delegated to them from that source. Closer they can assimilate themselves into the character of that priesthood and those brethren who control it, the more power they will be given. So the more we can yield ourselves to the direction of the power of heaven, the more heaven can direct us.

And if the powers of darkness have signified that they have singled us out for destruction, how much more then do we need the direction of heaven to lead and direct us through this life and into the powers and privileges of the other side and any failure on any of your parts? It will not be because you have weakness, which is part of the knowledge of your weakness. It will not be because of your stature, your civility, your style, your conformity. It will be your power, your capacity, the habit of yielding. Through tradition has developed the capacity, as Father Hammond has said, to yield to man and his custom. And we have made it such a habit.

that it becomes natural for us. We don't think the second time of yielding the custom of man. And sometimes we have yielded before we discover the custom indecent. Why? Because of habit. I told you the last meeting. I have seen many a child and adult take a spoonful of food and spit it out. The habit.

So we become teachers of habit. So the prophet said simply, I have made this my habit. Or in other words, in my experience here, Through my trials and sufferings and temptations, I have made it a habit to do whatever the powers of heaven tell me to do, regardless of the cost of my season. Whenever God speaks, I yield. If he didn't understand, he doesn't enter into the picture. Got it. I made it a habit to yield, because I know, finally, Come before the Lord, my son. Have you done all things? Mine did you do. First of all, I aborted the rentals. My presence was the devil talking about. A habit has got the best of it. Now, what kind of habit has got the best of it? It's God's habit of yielding. He stood in my direction. This life of the Lord. Here, the greatest desire to do this is right.

Brother knows that you have developed a wrong habit. So it's for you to know what you do. You know that you have a desire. But you have wasted your time. You do that every day. And it's as if heaven wanted anything but to become heavenly. To be is right. And that's where perfect happiness comes. And if you see anyone in this group who says, I'm so happy.

I can hardly contain myself if that person is saying you're looking at a person who's doing the best they can to yield to the heaven. Conscience is clear. The faith is increased to a clear conscience and to obedience. The unhappy person is a person with a guilty conscience, with a desire to shoulder, to yoke. It's war against one another. That person is constantly unhappy, dissatisfied, wearing a long face, and wondering what the work of the Lord is all about. We do not become slaves because we teach ourselves how to yield the powers and influences of heaven.

We're not placed in slavery because we teach ourselves to be like. This is a road to exaltation, damnation, but to exaltation. And every time this man follows a direction of heaven, he succeeds. But whenever he takes the thing upon himself against the power of heaven, he fails. And the second body, many years ago, turned down to Los Angeles.

The government insisted the Japanese nation is going to declare war on the United States this year. And when it does, you won't be able to get away from your job. They came down here on a great hardship. Another calamity has come upon us. So we want you to return to the body of America. Not just the body of suspect, but the body of suspect that could ever have been.

There was peace with the nation. They didn't think it had strength enough to step upon us. Be and kill us. The eyes of heaven said, this is what's going to happen. And it would have surprised you how many people in the group laughed at it. On the 7th of December, the Japanese nation declared war on the United States. Every man and woman could adapt. He suffered some hardship. In the group, he went as far as to do that.

When father said, go down to find his sister and stay there and get a job in the northern country. Other people in this group thought, I've got money there, I'm social. But these people were being called from California, not being sent down. Two or three more, and two, four, and four, and four, and he sent his money, hundreds of dollars, and five nights of numbering, helping the blind association.

When you come back here and take off your shoe and hand me $500 bill, you're going to ask the people, you're going to ask them for $44,000. Why should certain ability and habit to follow directions? What kind of addiction to faith and argument? If you do that, you'll be happy and you'll succeed. If you don't do it, you'll be tried and tested, and you'll finally meet a crisis. This will become a weak line into the spirit.

Universally, the goodness of man is 50 to 200. Go to see the God in his busy life. So what difference does it make to see him every day? Recognize that he holds the keys to this kingdom and has the administrative authority to take us from looking after him. Inevitable. There is what I have taught. I'm going to say, this is the unhappiness. And so it is with most of the people.

Fear, poor man, faith bringeth happiness and peace. It's this knowledge of wrongdoing that brings fear into the breast of the child. Not faith, knowledge of wrongdoing, that he must face his mother and father, and that in doing so, he must pay the penalty. And so fear bringeth happiness.

torment. You have all been killed and you know that. It is sheer punishment. It brings torment. He does wrong. For he knows he must face and that's what he must do. He knows he must do it. This hour or tomorrow or the next. It is sheer torment. It is sheer that brings torment into the heart of the wife.

For wrong doing, for disobedience. Because she knows it's an inevitable truth. That her husband will find out what she has done. Will ask her to pay the penalty. She insisted. Great, good, pleasant, and happy. Do right what it is. Great will be a happiness. There's a key. Brother, you aren't happiness. There's a key.

Sisters, if you want happiness, there is a peace. And children, if you want to be happy, there is a peace with a father. Habits are yielding, supporting, coming to them, helping. Whether she dies away, she dies with them. This is a happy ending. This is a peaceful ending. Never be happy or satisfied in living upon the earth, knowing...

that my father might come to visit me and reprimand me and make me pay a penalty. If I knew that I had done anything contrary to his counsel, I was in great misery and unhappiness, and fear brought torment to me. And in that torment I could imagine anything. The power of imagination could unravel the torment and make it a habit. What have I done now? This could work on criticism.

The people who have not found this secret, some degree or other, not at all, don't know just exactly how they're going to feel, but they're going to feel the disposition from today. Very simple. What fear has got torment, irritable, waste of time. Why don't you give it up? Why don't you make an effort? He has said, prove the wish. This is what I said, now I challenge you children. Prove me. Now he has said it. Now he has said it. Now he has said it to his wife. Prove me. Now he has said it.

The children prove us here with. We have made the Thomas prove it. And if I could do this and find that it doesn't work out. Great. Stop, children. You're wasting your time anyway. What difference does it make if you waste a few more minutes? Twelve months. It's the right attitude. Condemnation. We can't expect.

Father, full blessings upon you, because we offer a token. Repentance. Your child will have to be placed under condemnation, let us say. And he comes to you and says, Father, Mother, I have decided. I'm tired of this condemnation. I'm going to yield. I'm going to yield. I'm going to yield. I'm going to yield. I'm going to yield.

Nothing changes except that he's put in a day's work. The Father doesn't come to him and grasp him into his bosom and say, Now, son, inasmuch as you have put in a day's work, all that I have is yours. Put in a day's work. Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied? But no great demonstration is made. So what did the boy do? Well, the boy didn't do anything.

and told him that I had repented, and I had put in a good day's work, and they haven't said a thing about it. So he returns to his kick, tragedy, and horror. For we don't rise, but rather we will do. Whatever you know about God's name. For that boy rested his father, and I'll see him later. Every condition is failed, and confidence upon confidence.

I'd rather the pup give yourself a break. Everything you do, you do in connection with the power you expect. Think. Eat. Drive a car. Don't do anything except you do it in connection with those powers. And as they would have you do it. And it will surprise you what the result will be. Nothing valid. Better do nothing other than volunteer in relation to this.

The law of the priesthood that pertains to our actions, socially, financially, economically, and spiritually, politically. The law of the priesthood that pertains to our actions, the conditions, the promises. are predicated upon these conditions, all covenants, contracts, bonds, obligations, oaths, vows, performances, connections, associations, or expectations, Lord's name anymore, cover every phase of life, that are not made and entered into and sealed by the Holy Spirit of Thomas.

No No performances, things that came into life. But we're talking about life after death, to go into the presence of our Father. And anything that we do that's disassociated with the powers of heaven are not valid in the eyes of our Father. That's why he said in one place, anything more or less than this, come up again. Just one minute.

The people of this great celestial life, this world, tend to do the will of empty sentient beings. In this celestial life, tend to do the will of empty sentient beings. And I divorce anything from the path of the law of the esteemed. But the people do not repent and repent quickly. They are not ready to go.

Father, I guess you won't. So what do you want me to do? It's like I can't win my way. I tried it. And I've had lots of trouble. So now what do you want me to do? You've won this fight. I don't know how, but you've won. Now I'm too tired. I don't want fire anymore. So what do you want me to do now? I'm going to kill you. I'm going to do the same thing. I'm going to get the key. I'm going to kill all of them.

No burden, I can accept the fatherland. I want you to learn what his will is. Beautiful church, have a desire to show the capacity to love Jesus and come back. Luke talked to the man and he saw within him the habit and the capacity and the desire to represent him peacefully and to carry on.

And at the big and long day, when he stood up at the gate of the church, he said, Who is our prophet, Joseph Smith? At the big and long day, when he stood up at the gate of the church, he said, Who is our prophet, Joseph Smith? Thank you.
