“One of the distinctive features of the Savior’s Restored Church is the presence of prophets,” she said, adding that prophets are called by the Lord to do difficult things.
“The Lord speaks to His prophets, instructing them what to say and do that will bless and protect all of God’s children,” she said. “Therefore, as we choose to follow the prophets, we will be blessed spiritually and temporally.”
Media, social and otherwise, is filled to overflowing with beliefs that are contrary to the teaching of prophets, she added.
“So, how can we protect ourselves amid the war of words that rages all around us?” she said.” I suggest we compare anything and everything we read, view or hear with the teachings of the prophets.”
She invited the congregation to shift their focus for 30 days.
“What would happen to your level of peace, clarity of thinking, joy, experience of love and spiritual prosperity if, for 30 days, you started to question everything the world’s media, and all other sources, offer you — and — instead, prayerfully studied, fully embraced, and lived by every prophetic teaching you could find. What would happen in only 30 days if you chose to follow the prophets with exactness?”
It’s a 30 day blind faith fest. It’s “turn your brain off and just do as you’re told”. Where would humanity be if people didn’t question their leaders? Where would the Church be? The Priesthood ban would still be in place, electro shock therapy for gay members would still be a thing. The finances would still be hidden. Etc etc etc. It’s as if Wendy knows their words and instructions won’t stand up to the scrutiny of members thinking for themselves about what they’re being told…
