NAIROBI TEMPLE OPEN HOUSE MIRACLES: Interview with Brenda Angle
Brenda Angle is truly a remarkable, covenant keeping, gatherer in Israel. The Lord prompted her to give the Tanzanian people, member and non member alike, the opportunity to attend the Nairobi Temple Open House. Over 2,000 miles away, the task seemed impossible, but Brenda moved forward with faith feeling the help of angels on both sides of the veil. More than 500 men, women, and children were involved in this mighty miracle. God was involved in every detail of this gathering, including bringing hundreds of orphans to the knowledge that God knows them and loves them and that He will bring them back home. The Savior loves all of His Father's children around the world and will bring them back to Him through miracles, manifestations, and angels.

THE SPIRITUAL DNA OF COVENANTAL MOTHERS
Just like physical DNA is handed down through certain genetic traits from our parents, "Our Heavenly Parents also passed along to us what we might call a 'spiritual DNA." (New Era "Your Physical and Spiritual DNA", Aug. 2019). Contained within this spiritual DNA are spiritual gifts, including revelatory experiences that enable us to unite as a family. Lori and Jenni Naegle, are a mother and daughter, who are experiencing and exhibiting similar spiritual gifts, including the beholding of angels and ministering spirits. In this episode Lori and Jenni share some of the many experiences that they have had together and individually. Truly their Spiritual DNA seems to be intertwined in many ways, signaling their eternal relationship between each other, the Savior Jesus Christ and with their Heavenly Parents.YouTube The Spiritual DNA of Covenantal Mothers: https://youtu.be/eCw_rHVMQj0YouTube Thinning of the Veil Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCAA9WnYhYvCp1ffCe-AGUQQ Website: Thinning of the Veil: https://www.thinningoftheveil.com/Book: "Patterns of Revelation": https://www.amazon.com/Patterns-Revelation-Spiritual-Foundations-Hearing-ebook/dp/B0BWGLZ8VXEmail: tia@thinningoftheveil.comSupport the show

"WE ARE WOMEN OF GOD": Sheri Dew, October 1999
Sheri Dew has emphasized, "We are not women of the world. We are women of God. And women of God will be among the greatest heroines of the 21st century." In these latter days covenantal women have been given distinct responsibilities in relation to the children of our Heavenly Parents. In this talk from October General Conference, Sheri reminds all of us to not forget our sacred mission and to stay away from the things of the world that cause us to be distracted away from our purposes here in mortality. Sheri reminds us that as women of God, "We are unique because of our covenants, our spiritual privileges, and the responsibilities attached to both." In these responsibilities we are called to arm ourselves with priesthood power and live so that all of our family on both sides of the veil can return safely home.

PRIESTESS, PROPHETESS, QUEEN OF THE MOST HIGH
Covenantal Women of the Church of Jesus of Latter Day Saints, have been given the promise that they may attain to Eternal Godhood. Women are given spiritual gifts and priesthood power within their roles as a priestess, prophetess, queen, and matriarch to accomplish the work of our Eternal Parents. Their work is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. This episode explores the meaning behind each of these sacred responsibilities and also the doctrine, that as women, we are patterned after our Eternal Mother. Through examining scriptures, prophetic teachings, and doctrinal citations, we find that women are more than we ever could have imagined. Our calling in the last days is to bring our Heavenly Parent's children back to Them through the Gathering of Israel on both sides of the veil, and also to bear Their spirit sons and daughters, giving them mortal bodies. We are treasured daughters and as women of the Kingdom, we are essential and never ornamental. As we rise up and fill the measure of our creation, the Lord will open our eyes and our hearts to the glorious destiny that await all of His beloved daughters on both sides of the veil.YouTube Priestess, Prophetess, Queen of the Most High video: https://youtu.be/PVztsGSIYXwYouTube Thinning of the Veil Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCAA9WnYhYvCp1ffCe-AGUQQ Website: Thinning of the Veil: https://www.thinningoftheveil.com/Book: "Patterns of Revelation": https://www.amazon.com/Patterns-Revelation-Spiritual-Foundations-Hearing-ebook/dp/B0BWGLZ8VXEmail: tia@thinningoftheveil.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinning.of.the.veil/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thinning.of.the.veil/CITATIONS: Joseph F.

SIGNS AND WONDERS UPON THE ISLES OF THE SEA: Conversation with Afiona Faumuina
In the last days it is prophesied that all the nations of the Earth will be gathered even, "upon the isles of the sea". Gordon B. Hinckley describes, "Through ancient prophets the Lord promised that in the latter days He would remember His people upon the isles of the sea." In this episode Afiona Faumuina, describes the miracles, manifestations, and thinning of the veil experiences as her and her sister have sought to unite all Pacific Islanders. From the very first "scroll" that was given to her through miraculous events, to each succeeding miracle, they have created a traveling exhibit with hundreds of scrolls detailing the Pacific Islanders ancestral heritage. Through great sacrifice Afiona has dedicated her life to the reuniting of families on both sides of the veil and in return the Lord has blessed her with many mighty manifestations and great wonders to numerous to count. Temples are now dotting the Islands in fulfillment of ancient prophecy and in preparation for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
