How you have already helped the heavens to open in your lives

I want you to remember all the times you went to the temple before they closed down. There are many people in the spirit world whose temple work was done because you went to the temple for them.

Many of those people who you did their temple work for, who passed away long ago, are in the spirit world doing the work of the Lord. They do that in many different ways, and one of them includes watching over people they are assigned to here on earth. 
 
As I have seen the civil unrest that has come close to home for me, it has occurred to me that these angels of God are not idle.  It is my opinion that one thing these spirits do, with the power of God, is to help protect the Covenant saints who helped ensure their salvation. And the power they and we are endowed with is stronger than the hate we see in the world.

 

It is my opinion that there are many, many millions on the other side of the veil who watch over us, who seek to protect us during this unrest.  It is my opinion that some of the spirits helping the Lord bring peace to people's hearts are these spirits we have done temple work for.

So reach out in prayer.  I did a post about the First Presidency's invitation to pray on my other blog.  And there is much we can do to continue to help.  We can also spend more time in the scriptures or watching gospel videos.  We can also do the work of the Lord through Family History, indexing, Spreading the Gospel, or now, strengthening our families.

For those who are with us are more than are against us. And the power of God makes that possible. 

Testimony and Invitation
I know God lives, that Jesus is the Christ. I know the power of God on this earth is the only thing that can bring peace. You have helped with that, and I encourage you to continue to do so, so you may feel the Lord's peace during these troubled times. 

More importantly, as we seek it out, we will receive the revelation we desperately need, as our prophet has counseled.  And we will find the peace of Christ in these tumultuous times.

If you have never done Family History on Family Search, I've done a 10 Minute Quick Start Guide on another post.
