WELCOME

The best advice I can give is from a talk by Elder Oaks: ”Last year a church member sent me a suggestion that someone prepare a book containing all General Authority interpretations of all verses in the scriptures. I replied that I thought this was not a good idea…. What we are seeking to accomplish… is not to magnify the standing of the prophets but to elevate the spirituality of our rank and file members. Like Moses, we declare, ‘would God that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!’ (Numbers 11:29). We encourage everyone to study the scriptures prayerfully and seek personal revelation to know the meaning for themselves.” (Elder Dallin H. Oaks, “Scripture Reading and Revelation”, BYU Studies Academy Meeting, January 29, 1993)

Patriarchal Blessings: Idea on study

I read a few different ideas on how to study your patriarchal Blessing. Evrything form converting it into chapter and verse to color coding and marking.
I have decided to do my own thing and share it here.

I printed out a copy of my blessing with slightly wider margins and at a space and a half between lines.
 I came up with 6 main areas of importance:
  • Pre\Post World
  • Linage
  • Warnings
  • Commandments
  • GIfts of Spirit
  • Opportunities
     Each marked with their own color. I also looked up terms I was unsure of or ones that were repeated to see what the defintion was as well as how the Lord has used it in scripture.








This will be an on going task as i read and study it over and over.
