We Believe Strongly.....

Brian and I were asked to write our testimonies down to give to the Priesthood before we could get married.

We were at a youth conference sitting on the back stairs and writing them down. Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, Baptism, Sacrament, Jesus Christs Atonement.... etc... then we came to Owen A Allred holding all the keys of the priesthood. We could not say we had a testimony of that. We tried but the best we could put down on the paper was "We believe strongly...." Neither one of us had a testimony of that so we could not say we did. That was our Truth! We chalked it up to "You're not ready for that yet" and moved on.

Besides... when we got married I'm SURE we would receive that testimony! Can we say.. empty shell... Again???

I feel to mention here, again, how we can't trust our Feelings when it comes to God. Feelings can deceive and Satan knows how to manipulate them.  We have been warned throughout the bible about this very thing. 

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

¹³ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
¹⁴ And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
¹⁵ Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Proverbs 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

 Jeremiah 10:23  O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

 To know whether or not some teaching is true, we should search the Scriptures daily, not pray for an emotional experience.

 Acts 17:11These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
