A Three Nephite Words

πŸŒ€ Chiasmic Structure Centered on the Peacemaker and His Doctrine From the Record of MorrΓ‘oni, son of Moroni – the Words of Tismodel (Timothy), Translated Nephite πŸ“– Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm, Chapter 14 🌿 Ancient Patterns, Living Doctrine The pattern is ancient. It is the language of the Spirit. The prophets knew it. So did the disciples who walked with Christ. And when the Lord Himself speaks… He speaks in patterns. He speaks in power. This is the voice of Tismodel—the translated one. One of the three disciples who never tasted death. A minister across the generations… A witness of the Doctrine of Christ. πŸŒ€ A Chiasm From the Dust This sacred structure in Chapter 14 shows how the Doctrine of Christ is framed—line by line—around the Savior Himself. Here’s how it unfolds: πŸ”Ή A: Tismodel comes among the Nemenhah and teaches plainly the Doctrine of Christ. πŸ”Ή B: He speaks by the power of the Spirit; no one can argue against his words. πŸ”Ή C: He calls out to all the ends of the eart...

Healed Every Whit

πŸ•Š️ Healed Every Whit Even if I still limp a little I’m driving north today, up to Salt Lake, to get my spine checked out. Cervical stenosis. Balance issues. A body wearing thin in places. But before I got too far, I felt to stop and see someone very dear to me—my cousin and his family. Now, these folks… they walk with the Lord. Not in name only. Not in Sunday clothes. They carry His Spirit in their home. You can feel it in the air. You can see it in their children’s eyes. And what happened in their living room today… I will never forget it. πŸ› A Circle of Blessing We gathered in prayer. No show. No script. Just faith. One by one, each child laid hands on me. Then the mother. Then the father. Each spoke words over me—words from heaven. And they didn’t close with an amen. Because the blessing wasn’t ending. It was continuing… multiplying… expanding… like light filling every corner of a once-dark house. It felt like something out of the Book of Mormon— when they say “the tongue cannot ex...

The Remnant: It’s Not Who We Thought

  🌿 The Remnant: It’s Not Who We Thought When I used to hear the word  remnant , I thought it meant the few good Latter-day Saints left before the Second Coming. But that’s not what the scriptures say. The remnant isn’t just those with perfect records. It’s not about temple recommends or church activity. The  real remnant  is something older… deeper… holier. πŸͺΆ Who the Lord Calls His Remnant “And I will gather the remnant of My people… and they shall no more be afraid nor dismayed.” —Jeremiah 23:3 “They are a remnant of the seed of Joseph… and they shall build a city, which shall be called the New Jerusalem.” —3 Nephi 21:23 “The remnant shall return… unto the mighty God.” —Isaiah 10:21 They are the brokenhearted. The cast-off. The ones He has  preserved  for a purpose. Not polished. Not elite. Just faithful in the fire. πŸ“Ί What  The Chosen  Helped Me See Lately, I’ve been watching  The Chosen . And every time the Savior calls someone new to ...

Zion Won’t Come from Headquarters

  🧱 Zion Won’t Come from Headquarters We’ve built a lot of things. Temples with chandeliers. Manuals with footnotes. Hierarchies with handbooks. But I have to ask... Where’s Zion? That city with no poor among them. That people of one heart and one mind. That place where Christ walks among us—not just metaphorically, but literally? I’ve heard leaders say  we’re building it. But I’ve looked around… and I’m not so sure. πŸ—️ The Blueprint Hasn’t Changed Zion doesn’t come from the top down. It never did. God gave us the pattern in  3 Nephi  and in the  Nemenhah . He gave it through  Enoch ,  Melchizedek , and  Moroni . And the pattern never once involved: A worldwide brand A billion-dollar portfolio Or remote leadership from an ivory tower Instead, it always started with people— humble people —being born again. Being filled with the Spirit. Living with no hierarchy but the Lord. πŸ“œ The Book of Mormon Told Us This “And there were no contentions and dis...

The Baptism of Fire: Not Just Symbolic

  πŸ”₯ The Baptism of Fire: Not Just Symbolic I used to think baptism was mostly about water. You get dunked, you feel clean, you move on. But there’s another baptism the scriptures talk about—one that doesn’t happen in a font, or under a steeple, or on the Church calendar. It happens in fire. And it’s  real . 🟣  I learned this the hard way. Or maybe the holy way. It wasn’t in a classroom. It was when I was wrestling. Searching. Studying the Book of Mormon on my mission—coloring the words that mattered most. I still remember: Purple for the Atonement Blue for obedience Red for the warnings Green for the promises The Book came alive. And so did something in me. One night, I felt the fire—not in my head, but in my soul. I was alone. But I wasn’t alone. I didn’t see angels. But I saw truth. And from that night forward, the scriptures were no longer just  words . They were living water. And holy fire. πŸ•Š️ What the Book of Mormon Actually Says “Then cometh a remission of y...

Two Churches Only ------ A Wake-Up Call for the Sleeping Saints

  ✴️ Two Churches Only A Wake-Up Call for the Sleeping Saints πŸ“–  “Wherefore, he that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile… yea, and all those who belong to the kingdom of the devil are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake.” — 2 Nephi 28:19 πŸŒ“ The Lie of the Middle Way Let’s just come out and say it: There are  not three churches. There are not five. There is no “gray zone” or spiritual Switzerland. There are  only two churches. The Church of the Lamb. And the Church of the devil. It doesn’t matter what’s printed on the nameplate. It doesn’t matter if your church sings “I Am a Child of God” or sends out elders two by two. It doesn’t even matter if it once came from God. If it fights  against  Zion, If it teaches  false traditions , If it upholds  priestcraft , If it  rejects  the fullness of the gospel... Then it’s part of the wrong church. And we’ve all been taught to pretend that it’s not. 😴 Sleeping in the Comfort of Fal...

Healing and Deliverance --- What Jesus Came to Do

  πŸ•Š️ Healing and Deliverance Beauty for Ashes. Freedom for Captives. Zion Rising. "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me..." "...to bind up the brokenhearted..." "...to set the captives free." — Isaiah 61:1–3 πŸ”₯ What Jesus Came to Do This passage isn’t just beautiful. It’s the mission of the Messiah. It’s what Jesus read out loud in the synagogue, saying: “Today this is fulfilled.” He wasn’t quoting prophecy. He was  fulfilling it . Right there. For them… And for you. The Nemenhah call Him  Ahmohnayah  — the Peacemaker. “He took upon Him our infirmities, and by the shedding of His blood, the very soul of the earth was healed… And through Him, we also may be healed, in body and in spirit, if we shall come unto Him in sacred manner.” —  Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm , Ch. 11 ⚔️ Love Story in a War Zone John Eldredge reminds us: “You live in a love story, but it’s set in a very dangerous war.” The Nemenhah say the same: “There is war in the land and in the soul, a...
