Spiritual Treasures (excerpts)
Every woman and every man who makes covenants with God and keeps those covenants, and who participates worthily in priesthood ordinances, has direct access to the power of God. …
… I invite you to study prayerfully section 25 of the Doctrine and Covenants and discover what the Holy Ghost will teach you. …
Part of this endeavor will require you to put aside many things of this world. …
… You will need to say no to some things, even though they may seem harmless. …
Satan and his minions will constantly contrive roadblocks to prevent you from understanding the spiritual gifts with which you have been and can be blessed. …
… My dear sisters, your ability to discern truth from error, to be society’s guardians of morality, is crucial in these latter days. And we depend upon you to teach others to do likewise. Let me be very clear about this: if the world loses the moral rectitude of its women, the world will never recover. …
I entreat you to study prayerfully all the truths you can find about priesthood power. … As your understanding increases and as you exercise faith in the Lord and His priesthood power, your ability to draw upon this spiritual treasure that the Lord has made available will increase. …
… We regard a temple as the most sacred structure in the Church. … You sisters are vital to the work of the temple, and the temple is where you will receive your highest spiritual treasures.
