An Elect Daughter Of God

The original intent of this blog was to show the spiritual gifts of following the true gospel of Jesus Christ, and although lately the posts have been leaning a little more toward doctrine, I assure my readers that there is a reason for this.  You see, unless we follow the correct doctrine, unless we have faith in a correct principle, then all the devotion in the world will not amount to anything.  If our faith is centred in false doctrine, we can strive for our whole lives and still not talk with the Saviour face to face in the flesh.  But if we follow correct doctrine, we will actually obtain the results of the Second Comforter.  This is a hard thing for most people to handle, because they like their false doctrines and they don’t want to give them up.  So they find all sorts of excuses to back up their reasons for continuing to follow their fruitless traditions.  But for those readers who are earnestly seeking to actually talk to the Saviour, I offer you correct doctrine that will actually bear fruit. 

One of the false doctrines that I would like to correct is the doctrine where people believe that a woman is a second class citizen in the eyes of God.  This is absolutely FALSE!!!!  This belief seems to be supported by several factions of the Mormon churches that oppress women and do not let them help in the work of the Lord (other than cleaning the house and caring for children).  Now, several Mormon factions say that this is the correct doctrine, but I say, then why does not the Lord support you in that doctrine and visit you in person in your affliction?  Why do you not have the miracles of Jesus happen among you?  Why are you happy to drink the swill that your leaders feed you, when they lie to you and tell you that God doesn’t visit the lowly member anymore? 

As long as you insist on sticking to your false beliefs, your faith is in vain and you will never see through the veil.  You can continue to argue doctrine and seemingly prove your point of view over and over again, but the bottom line remains the same; The heavens are as brass to you.  You are no better off than the sectarians whose only revelation is the false interpretations of scriptures.  They “hear” the voice of God in the scriptures and that is it.  You have reached your limit.  You are limiting yourself.  If you want to come to God, to come to the Saviour, then drop your false beliefs and come.  The way is open.  The way is clear.  Enter in at the strait gate and feast on eternal life; And this is life eternal, to know God in person, to follow His ways.  Repent of your sins, be humble and meek as a little child, be baptized for a remission of your sins, and start your life anew, completely devoted to Christ, and endure to the end, and you shall have eternal life. 

I would like to share with my readers an experience that just happened a few months ago in the autumn.  There is an elderly woman who has lived a very hard life.  She has been through many great and tragic abuses in her life.  Yet she has kept her faith in Jesus Christ and continues to be faithful.  A few months ago, Toni and I had a visit with her.  We visited for a few days, helping with menial things and with things not so menial.  This kindly old lady has been ostracized by several different Mormon churches and has a difficult time getting priesthood blessings and ordinances done.  So while we were visiting she asked, and I dedicated her home and administered the Sacrament, of which she had not had the privilege of partaking is such a long time.  Then she made another request. 

She requested that Toni and I give her a blessing.  Now this is a very old lady, and she remembers the old Mormon ways, ways that are long since forgotten these days, the faith of the ancients.  So Toni, my wife, anointed her head, and I sealed the anointing, and we blessed our elderly sister.  Toni stood on one side of her, and I on the other, and during the blessing, the Lord Jesus Christ came and took the place directly behind her, and her husband who has long since slept, stood in front of her. 

There was no fault in the faith of this elderly woman, nor was there any fault in a woman, Toni, administering to her.  The Lord Jesus Christ Himself came and gave His assent to that blessing.  They are pleased with her and have a place prepared for her.  She is an Elect Daughter of God, and no amount of false doctrine or naysayers will ever take that away from her. 

The gifts of God, and the presence of the Saviour, follow faith in correct principles, and no amount of arguing doctrine will change that.  If this doesn’t seem to fit your interpretation of the scriptures, then you are interpreting them wrong.  For the Lord said: 

“It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am”
 and    
“And these signs shall follow them that believe;  In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” 

So, to the naysayers, if you are not getting the results that Jesus promised, then you are not following correct doctrine.  It is that simple.  

And to the honest in heart, correct your beliefs, follow Him, and seek Him with all your hearts, and you too will soon find yourselves in His embrace.  Don’t give up!  He is real, and He will come to you, just as He promised.

  1. I have been looking up the phrase "Elect daughter of God" and this blog post popped up.

    I read it shortly after you posted it. But has even more meaning to me today.

    Rereading the entire blog as my understanding has deepened and more clarity has come to me as I shed the false doctrine and the fruitless traditions.
