TODAY'S THEME
Before giving you the opportunity of viewing a very informative, brief and fast moving recap video of the messages of the 180th Annual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I give you the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Savior that he gave us through his prophet, Joseph Smith, whom He chose to be an instrument in His hands in blessing us with the re-establishment of His true church early in the nineteenth century.
D. and C. 1: 29 And after having received the record of the Nephites, yea, even my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., might have power to translate through the mercy of God, by the power of God, the Book of Mormon.
30 And also those to whom these commandments were given, might have power to lay the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity and out of darkness, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth, with which I, the Lord, am well pleased, speaking unto the church collectively and not individually—
31 For I the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance;
32 Nevertheless, he that repents and does the commandments of the Lord shall be forgiven;
33 And he that repents not, from him shall be taken even the light which he has received; for my Spirit shall not always strive with man, saith the Lord of Hosts.
34 And again, verily I say unto you, O inhabitants of the earth: I the Lord am willing to make these things known unto all flesh;
35 For I am no respecter of persons, and will that all men shall know that the day speedily cometh; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand, when peace shall be taken from the earth, and the devil shall have power over his own dominion.
36 And also the Lord shall have power over his saints, and shall reign in their midst, and shall come down in judgment upon Idumea, or the world.
37 Search these commandments, for they are true and faithful, and the prophecies and promises which are in them shall all be fulfilled.
38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.
39 For behold, and lo, the Lord is God, and the Spirit beareth record, and the record is true, and the truth abideth forever and ever. Amen. (emphasis added)No mortal man dictated those words to the young, uneducated, Prophet Joseph Smith nor did he make them up. They were given by direct revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ to him, His first prophet in this dispensation of his Gospel which is taught in His re-established Church on many occasions , but particularly during the General General Conferences of His Church.
You may have possibly availed yourself of the guidance I provided in my Post 39x that was published just before General Conference was held, which could have helped you in tuning into the Annual General Conference of the Church on either Saturday, April 3rd or Sunday, April 4th. If you did I'm sure you were inspired by what you were taught in the Conference speeches.
However, whether you did or did not view any of General Conference, I now give you the opportunity to view a video the LDS Church has just produced which very effectively summarizes and connects the key points the Lord Jesus Christ inspired his living prophets and apostles and other Church leaders to harmoniously emphasize in their conference addresses.

Here is a video which is very inspiring and an excellent re-cap of the General Conference that was held early this month.

After finding a pen and a piece of paper for note-taking (if you so desire), you will be ready to view this video:
It is just several seconds short of ten minutes in length.
I promise you that you will be able to see that His Church is doing exactly what our Savior said it would do in verse 38 in the scripture at the head of this post which I have highlighted!
