"... There arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. ` And they came
unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold,
the same baptizeth, and all men come to him."
John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven…He that
hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true."
(John 3:25-27 and 33).
I humbly and gratefully bare you my testimony that the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which for a very long while was
lost to the earth through the martyrdom of apostles and the deceptions of man (called the dark ages), has been
restored, for the final time, to the children of men. I know this is true because the Holy Spirit has born testimony
to me that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true church and that Joseph Smith was divinely
called to be the prophet of this last dispensation and that he was instructed to translate a record of "other
sheep": "And other sheep
have I, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one
fold, and one shepherd" (John 10:16). This
record is known as The Book of Mormon - Another Testimony of Jesus Christ. This book does not replace the Bible
but only stands to testify of the truthfulness of it and to clarify some precious things that may have been lost
through the ignorance or craftiness of men.
I believe the same organization that was found in the church
that Christ himself organized is found in this church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists
and so forth. I know that a prophet is necessary to receive the words that our Heavenly Father wants his church
to receive: "Surely the Lord
GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." (Amos 3:7). I know that we are lead by our Savior, Jesus Christ, through a living prophet
today. I testify that Jesus Christ is the redeemer of all mankind and that if we sincerely repent of all our sins,
obey the commandments and ordinances of the gospel all our days, we will be worthy to return to Him and our Heavenly
Father when we leave this earth. You are all my brothers and sisters and my heart aches for you to receive this
same testimony that we may all come back together in our Father's House when we leave here.
The Lord has given us each a mandate. (commandment). Please
read Luke 22:32: "When thou art converted strengthen thy brethren".
Brothers and Sisters, if you are true seekers of the Light
of Christ, I pray that you will consider these things prayerfully and I promise you, the Lord will reveal to you
that these things are true!! This is my solemn testimony and I give it in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Prayerfully submitted
