THINNING OF THE VEIL

As we seek to make our calling and election sure, we must first enter into covenants with God by proper priesthood authority. Next we must continue proving faithful at all costs, obeying every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, and then we will hear those supernal words of exaltation through the more sure word of prophecy. The Holy Spirit of Promise, another name title of the Holy Ghost, has power given to ratify and justify all contracts, vows and obligations that we enter into.  We with our ancestors are given the opportunity for this ratifying seal to be placed upon us, thus sealing us up unto eternal life.

A key event in making one's calling and election made sure is obtaining that "knowledge" through the more sure word of prophecy. Through a heaven sent revelatory experience we can know our standing before the Lord. Bruce R. McConkie explains that this is having the "day of judgement advanced". This episode discusses how we can obtain this heavenly pronouncement. There are patterns in scriptural accounts of various individuals who did indeed receive this more sure of prophecy. As we study the patterns and clue into the phrases that we should be listening for, we will be more able to recognize this singular event in our own lives. God is no respecter of persons, and all are invited to come unto Him and make our calling and election sure.YouTube The More Sure Word of Prophecy: https://youtu.be/8NlXveoRDWMYouTube 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.comCITATIONS:Doctrine & Covenants 131:5-6Russell M.

Calling and Election is a doctrine of the priesthood that is misunderstood by many. While we are invited to make our Calling and Election sure, we are confused at how this process plays out in our individual lives. First, we must understand what "calling and election" even means. As we learn about the principles involved, the laws that must be obeyed, and the refining process that's required, the way forward is a lot more clear. Understanding the doctrine of calling and election is one of divine guidance and heavenly help.  The journey to having one's calling and election is not out of reach and can be attained to in mortality. In fact the path forward to this supernal blessing lies within the our covenantal relationships with God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. This episode is Part 1 of a 3 part series that explores this less often studied eternal doctrine.

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf has commented that in relation to our Priesthood Power that, "our actions suggest that we live far beneath this potential." How do we even begin to understand what our potential is in relation to our priesthood power? What are the doctrines of the priesthood that we struggle to identify and implement? How do we increase priesthood power in our lives to the extent that we know all things? This episode is an introductory step in starting to understand this covenantal relationship with God that includes so many unimaginable promises and blessings. God promises with an oath that we can have the powers that He possesses. As we study the covenant of the Priesthood we will begin to understand the eternal and immutable promises available to all who seek for further light and knowledge relating to this glorious subject.

Julie and Michael are married spouses that both have their previous spouses on the other side of the veil. How does one continue to grow their previous covenantal relationship with their former spouse who is on the other side of the veil? And how to they continue to grow their current relationship with each other in this side of the veil? Both Julie and Michael have had thinning of the veil experiences that have helped them both to maintain and grow their current relationship with each other and also continue to build on their relationships with their previous spouses. Truly the work of the Gathering is miraculous as relationships of all kinds are healed as ordinances are performed. When covenants are made we can be assured that love continues on through the veil even after a loved one departs. Heaven is so much closer than we can ever imagine.

The power of the priesthood that exists within the covenantal relationship of the Patriarchal Order is not well understood. This episode discusses the doctrine of the Patriarchal Order, the importance and relevance of the priesthood within that sacred order, and the power we develop as we expand that order to include our ancestors. The Gathering of Israel is all about recovering those familial relationships that we once knew and held sacred within the walls of our Heavenly Home. Repeating the familial patterns and practicing the laws of the Patriarchal Priesthood we literally bring heaven closer to us as we strive to live as our Heavenly Parents. The veil thins as we become the righteous posterity that was promised to Adam and Eve, thus fulfilling the prophecies given to our first parents.

Jeremiah prophesied that in the last days there will be fishers and hunters of men who will seek and sacrifice all, that God's children will be gathered. He also prophesied that the miracles of the Gathering of Israel in Moses's time would be eclipsed by the miracles of the Gathering in the Last Days. This episode studies the miraculous events of both and reviews the characteristics of the fishers and hunters that were taught in a recent Liahona article by President Russell M. Nelson. Our thinning of the veil experiences should echo the revelatory experiences of Moses's. As fellow Gatherers, we will see the same pattern of deliverance as the ancient Children of Israel, testifying that the Lord is the GREAT I AM.

Each story in this episode is taken from real viewer's Thinning of the Veil experiences. Each experience is unique and miraculous in their own way and truly astronomically impossible without the power of God. Our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ, have promised the greatest manifestations. You can be a part of these greatest, astronomically impossible, manifestations, if you choose to help Gather Israel.

Have you ever been asked by the Lord to do seemingly impossible things? Colette Hokanson's spiritual impressions have taken her all around the globe. Each time, the Lord uses her to bring about His work in miraculous ways. Because the Gathering of Israel is so important in this last dispensation, those of us involved in His work, will see some of the greatest manifestations of God's love and power, being manifested in our lives. If we will ask the Lord who needs help on the other side of the veil, and walk forward in faith, not knowing before had the things that we should do, He will send us to places and heights that we never imagined or thought possible.YouTube I'll Go Where You Want me to Go Part 1 Video: https://youtu.be/c1n8z2X6boEYouTube "I'll Go Where you want me to Go Dear Lord" Bekah Sorensen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E95oN-RF6UoYouTube 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
