Heber C. Kimball
May 1868
"After a while, the gentiles will gather in Salt Lake City by the thousands, and this will be among the wicked cities of the world." He said:
"A spirit of speculation and extravagance will take possession of the Saints, and the results will be financial bondage." He said:
"An army of elders will be sent to the four quarters of the earth, to search out the righteous and warn the wicked of coming events. "All kinds of religions will be started, and miracles performed that will deceive the very elect, if such a thing were possible.
"Persecution comes next, and all Latter-day Saints will be tested to the limit." Many will apostatize, and others will stand still, not knowing what to do. "Before the temple reaches the square, our brethren will be imprisoned until the penitentiary shall be full, and some of them will be removed to other penitentiaries. "Mothers would weep for their husbands, and children would cry for their fathers. Some would die, and sorrow would fill the hearts of the Latter-day Saints. "When the temple roof is on, the persecution will lessen, but when the temple is completed, the power of the Evil One will be shut out."The prayers of the Saints will then be heard. The sick will be taken there and healed."The Spirit of God will rest upon the people, and work for the dead will be continued night and day." "The judgments of God will be poured out upon the wicked, to the extent that our elders from far and near will be called home ; or in other words, the Gospel will be taken from the gentiles, and later on will be carried to the Jews." "The western boundaries of the State of Missouri will be swept so clean of its inhabitants that as President Young tells us, 'when we return to that place there will not be as much as a yellow dog to wag his tail.' "Before that day comes, however, the Saints will be put to the test that
will try the very best of them. "The pressure will become so great that the righteous among us will cry unto the Lord day and night until deliverance comes." In 1856—that is seventy-four years ago—a small group of friends convened in the house of the Lord, called the Endowment House. The
conversation was about the isolated condition of the Latter-day Saints.
"Yes," said Brother Heber, "we think we are secure here in the chambers of these everlasting hills, where we can close the doors of the canyons against mobs and persecutors, the wicked and the vile, who have always beset us with violence and robbery, but I want to say to you, my brethren, the time is coming when we will be mixed up in these now peaceful valleys to that extent that IT WILL BE
DIFFICULT TO TELL THE FACE OF A SAINT FROM THE FACE OF AN ENEMY AGAINST THE PEOPLE
OF GOD."Then is the time to look out for the great sieve, for there will be a great sifting time, and many will fall. "For I say unto you there is a test, a Test, a TEST coming." He further said:
'This Church has before it many close places through which it will have to pass before the work of God is crowned with glory. "The difficulties will be of such a character that the man or woman who does not possess personal knowledge or witness will fall. If you have not got this testimony, you must live right and call upon the Lord, and cease not
until you obtain it. "Remember these sayings:
The time will come when no man or woman will be able to endure on borrowed light. Each will have to be guided by the light within themselves. If you do not have the knowledge that Jesus is the Christ, how can you stand?"

#GeneralConference is six days away. Here is a summary of what President Susan H. Porter said in his message during April 2026 general conference. ‘I invite you to pray to Heavenly Father and say, like Jesus did, “Here am I, send me.”’

From President Oaks’s first address to the members of the Church after becoming the prophet—
"One of the many reasons you will need the CONSTANT influence of the Holy Ghost is that you live in a season in which the adversary has become so effective at disguising truth that if you don’t have the Holy Ghost, you WILL be deceived.
Many obstacles lie ahead.
The distractions will be many.
Even active members may sometimes have concerns about some historical, doctrinal, or social issues connected with the Church.
I want to help all our members overcome present or future doubts. Whatever those doubts, the way to overcome them is to get closer to our Savior Jesus Christ.
1. STRENGTHEN OUR FAITH IN HIM.
Strong faith requires more than strong desire. It means daily trying, one step at a time, with prayer and scripture study.
2. INCREASE OUR HUMILITY.
Increased humility draws us closer to Jesus Christ. When we are humble, we can more clearly hear the Lord’s voice.
Like faith in God, humility is a master virtue, given to help us learn other virtues necessary for us to become what our Heavenly Father and His Only Begotten Son created us to become.
Humility is NEVER accusing nor contentious.
Humility is repentant and seeks not to justify its follies. It is FORGIVING others in the realization that there may be errors of the same kind or worse that we ourselves commit.
To have humility is one of the POWERFUL commandments we have been given to guide us in our mortal journey. It prepares us for our appointed meeting with our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Take care not to become distracted.
HUMILITY, FAITH, and TRUST in the Lord are the remedies for wavering.
3. SEEK HELP FROM OTHERS.
Remember, “to survive spiritually,” you will need the “constant influence of the Holy Ghost.”
An ABUNDANCE of speculation and false information in podcasts and on social media surrounds us.
Some may protest or question the truth of Church doctrine without knowing or even understanding the fulness of that doctrine.
Don’t be persuaded by false or inaccurate information. Discuss your concerns with faithful, well-informed friends and ALWAYS take those concerns to the Lord.
Seek friends and associates who are STRIVING TO FOLLOW THE LORD— friends and associates with whom you can feel the Spirit and with whom you can reinforce your faith.
SURROUND YOURSELF with people who believe.
PROTECT yourself with the weekly renewing of your covenants by partaking of the SACRAMENT and with consistent efforts to live according to those sacred covenants.
Those who have been endowed should include regular attendance at the TEMPLE.
In sum, stay on the covenant path. These simple practices will protect and strengthen you.
4. BE PATIENT.
We are all a work in progress. We are all at different places on what President Nelson called “the covenant path.” We need to be patient with one another and, occasionally, even with ourselves.
Hold on to the first article of faith, even if something else is uncertain. And while you wait, wait upon the Lord, which includes trusting in His timing as well as in His promises.
And while we wait, we should busy ourselves with SERVICE .
Again and again, Jesus taught and demonstrated the power of service to others.”

“I promise you that as you consistently give the Lord a GENEROUS portion of your time, He will MULTIPLY the remainder.”

I have seen this over and over again in my life! The more time I give to the Lord, the more my capacity increases, and the happier I feel!
His promises ARE SURE!

You know I used to say I could be talking to someone famous and I would never now it. Well it happened. Barry Corbin was in our town last summer. I did not know who he was. I thought he was just a rancher from Texas. So I sat down next to him and started talking because my dad side of the family came from Texas. We were talking about sheep and goats. 😂 people started Gathering around talking to him about movies which of course I still didn’t quite understand. But while he was there, my husband said why don’t we get a picture? 😂

During President Nelson’s time as the prophet, there were several themes that came up again and again. He often framed them as SPIRITUAL warnings rather than predictions of specific disasters.
DO NOT TAKE YOUR TESTIMONY FOR GRANTED.
He warned members that they can’t simply rely on someone else’s testimony, urged them to “take charge” of their own testimony: work for it, nourish it, and feed it truth. He specifically warned against allowing false philosophies to weaken it.
DO NOT EXPECT TO SURVIVE SPIRITUALLY WITHOUT THE HOLY GHOST.
He warned that “in coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without” the constant influence of the Holy Ghost. This was connected to the enormous volume of competing voices, philosophies, information and social-media messages confronting people.
DO NOT LET THE WORLD DROWN OUT REVELATION.
He repeatedly warned about confusing the “voices” of the world with the voice of God and taught members to develop their ability to receive personal revelation.
He emphasized that information should be evaluated carefully, including considering the source and its motivations.
DO NOT LET POLITICAL, CULTURAL, OR OTHER IDENTITIES REPLACE YOUR ETERNAL IDENTITY.
He specifically pleaded with young adults not to replace the three identities he identified as fundamental: a child of God, a child of the covenant, and a disciple of Jesus Christ.
DO NOT ABANDON THE COVENANT PATH.
From the beginning of his presidency, Nelson repeatedly warned members about drifting away from covenants and urged them to remain on the covenant path. He said, “I urge you to get on the covenant path and stay there."
DO NOT NEGLECT REPENTANCE.
He pleaded with members to experience the strengthening power of daily repentance—continually doing and becoming a little better.
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE ADVERSARY'S INCREASING INFLUENCE.
He explicitly taught that “the assaults of the adversary are increasing exponentially, in intensity and in variety.”
He connected this warning to the need for greater spiritual protection, particularly through temple worship and covenants.
DO NOT NEGLECT THE TEMPLE.
He warned that the world’s increasing spiritual pressures made temple worship more—not less—important. He said, “Our need to be in the temple on a regular basis has never been greater.”
DO NOT BECOME SPIRITUALLY COMPLACENT BECAUSE OF DIFICULT TIMES.
He frequently spoke about the increasingly challenging spiritual environment in which Church members would live. His answer wasn’t to retreat in fear, but to increase faith, revelation, covenant keeping, temple worship and reliance on Jesus Christ."
BE PREPARED FOR THE SECOND COMING.
This became increasingly prominent in his later presidency. He taught that temple worship, covenants and spiritual preparation would help members prepare for the Savior’s return.
Looking across Nelson’s presidency, his warnings seem to become increasingly focused on SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT.
There is an important distinction: Nelson generally didn’t present these as warnings that Church members should panic about particular POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, or GEOPOLITICAL events.
His recurring warning was that the world would become increasingly SPIRITUALLY CONFUSING and that disciples would need greater personal revelation and spiritual strength to navigate it.
One thing that stands out is that his warnings were remarkable consistent.
He repeatedly warned that the SPIRITUAL ENVIRONMENT would become more difficult and that members would need:
Personal Revelation.
The Holy Ghost.
Covenants.
Temple Worship.
Discernment.
and
A FIRM Relationship with Jesus Christ.
(grok summary of Pres. Nelson’s priorities)
We CANNOT underestimate the adversary! Without the help of Jesus Christ, we are no match for him.
Greater personal revelation.
Greater spiritual strength.
“I PLEAD with you to increase your spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”
Russell M. Nelson
