The Power of Spiritual Momentum
Excerpts
Momentum is a powerful concept. …
Today, I would like to suggest five specific actions we can take to help us maintain positive spiritual momentum.
First: Get on the covenant path and stay there. …
… The covenant path is the only path that leads to exaltation and eternal life.
Discover the joy of daily repentance. …
… Repenting is the key to progress. Pure faith keeps us moving forward on the covenant path.
Please do not fear or delay repenting. …
My third suggestion: Learn about God and how He works. …
… The antidote to Satan’s scheme is clear: We need daily experiences worshipping the Lord and studying His gospel. …
Suggestion number 4: Seek and expect miracles. …
… Few things will accelerate your spiritual momentum more than realizing the Lord is helping you to move a mountain in your life.
Suggestion number 5: End conflict in your personal life. …
… Exercise the humility, courage, and strength required both to forgive and to seek forgiveness. …
… If forgiveness presently seems impossible, plead for power through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ to help you. As you do so, I promise personal peace and a burst of spiritual momentum. …
As you act on these pursuits, I promise you the ability to move forward on the covenant path with increased momentum, despite whatever obstacles you face. And I promise you greater strength to resist temptation, more peace of mind, freedom from fear, and greater unity in your families.
