Loss of Light Among Most, But An Increase Among Others

God has also declared that a gathering and Zion will occur. He has to fullfill His own words from before. God has always wanted a Covenant People to gather and grant divine protection and blessings to, as a group. God needs a group of people in the last days to do what He has always said He is going to do in the Last Days since Adam. To complete the failed mission of the gentile LDS. The same thing that was attempted with Joseph and Hyrum, but failed. Snuffer is being used to forewarn the world for the disasters prior to the Second Coming and also used to begin the last days gathering of all remnants into one. He has been instructed on the failures of the past, to help us avoid them again this time around. People who enter the covenant, become adopted into the House of IsraEL, no longer wandering "gentiles". The "Kings and Queens" of the gentiles will be used to gather in the rest of the wandering biological seed of Israel/Joseph/Lehi. We have a very serious mission. If we do not hold up to our part of the deal as a group, God will use others, or the few among us that will do what He requires and asks. The tares will be filtered out from among the wheat.

The BOM is a warning of what will happen in "this land" of America. Things will get so bad that just as what happened to the Jaredites and Nephites, will occur again in our time. The unrepentant LDS, who do not hear the word of the Lord for themselves that this Covenant Group and Snuffer is legit, will not be granted protection when the natural distaster warnings and severe cleansing of this land occurs. In fact, the Heavens are very bothered that the LDS (where God last interacted with a group on earth in the 1800's), are failing in large part to hear His warning voice through His servants and personal revelation. Even though they agree in LDS temples to look for divine messengers and connect with God themselves, they also agree to utter destruction (or the Judgements of God as it was later altered - but it still fits) if they do not hold up to everything that is intended to be taught to them there. The LDS rejection of what God tried to teach them to look out for in the last days in a temple ritual, is the very trigger for the natural disasters and allowing the wicked to do the cleansing that will occur on this land again. They agreed to it, over and over, each time they stand up and say yes in those temples. All of our scriptures warn to avoid group think failure, and assume all is well. But if they searched intently and understood the scriptures and pondered them deep enough, they would always be watchful of group-think pride and avoid thinking everything is just dandy. An honest comparison to the prophets like Joseph Smith and all those who fill our scriptures, would clearly inform anyone among the LDS what is lacking individually and as a group. The scriptures and temple ritual also informs us all what we are personally lacking. We always talked about applying scripture to ourselves, but we LDS were not actually doing it for the most part.

God is talking with many within the LDS Remnant movement. He has in fact created a Covenant Group, in which some of them (among other literal blood Israelites) can become a part of the last days Zion gathering into one. God has instructed the Heavens to teach and prepare Snuffer for 40 years for the very calling he has already been performing. The Covenant People have been born. The stars/constellations will align Sep 23, 2017 to confirm the birth of such a people, and their gathering responsibilities. And will also warn of the coming darkness and spiritual war that is coming in an evil attempt to devour and destroy these people. Opposition. When God moves, so does His adversary. Adversaries try to win by taking steps to conquer and win before their rival does. As darkness begins to spread over the earth like never before, which was symbolized in the solar eclipse August 21, 2017 (that divine message was given to me in the moment of eclipse totality in Idaho Falls - while I had no intention of thinking anything symbolic of it - just hangin with my kiddos), even so at nearly the same time period, new light and a Covenant people have been born. We will see the gulf. New scripture and greater light/understanding/knowledge will be taught to this Covenant Group to give them more light, as the world gets darker and darker. More spiritual experiences will occur. God blesses those who individually and as a group seek Him, and do what He asks. As the world grows darker in anger and division, including other follow the leader no matter what minded LDS, and as the calamaties become worse and worse... we will see the difference. Others will eventually see it, even if they still won't believe God would do that kind of work outside the mainstream LDS leadership. It's easier to analyze and judge others, but seeing our own issues/errors, is always harder.

Hear it for yourselves. Intellectually and spiritually SEE and HEAR what is occurring now. I searched these things for years before they began, before I ever knew about Snuffer, and knew they were coming soon. Just not this soon. I fear my own lack of preparation and connection. Despite that which I know I still lack, we still have a mission to perform. The same mission the LDS failed to do in the 1800's. God has set His hand a second time to complete the mission in preparation for the Second Coming event. Everything is lining up. Eventually, it will take some serious cognitive dissonance (avoidance/ignoring reality) to reject what will occur among this Covenant Group

New Covenant People Are Born Sep 2, 2017

Quoting Denver Snuffer from the Conference:

"The spirit of God is withdrawing from the world. Men are increasingly more angry without good cause. The hearts of men are waxing cold. There is increasing anger and resentment of gentiles. In political terms, it’s rejection of white privilege. Language of scriptures description of the events now underway calls it the end of the times of the gentiles. This process with the spirit withdrawing, will end on this continent as two prior civilization ended, in fratricidal and genocidal warfare. For the rest of the world, it will be as in the days of Noah in which, as that light becomes eclipsed, the coldness of men’s hearts is going to result in a constant scene of violence and bloodshed. The wicked will destroy the wicked. The covenant, if it is kept, will prevent you from losing light and warmth of heart as the spirit now steadily recedes from the world. The time will come, when you will be astonished at the gulf between the light and truth you will comprehend and the darkness of mind of the world. Be charitable and patient and labor to reach others. They will judge you harshly, but nevertheless be kind to them. They are going to grow to fear you, but that’s only part of how darkness responds to light. Give them no reason to fear you. The time will come for us to gather, but between now and then be leaven. Preserve the world. Be salt. Preserve the world. Even if it hates you."

Doctrine of Christ Conference

March 18th – 19th 2017 — St. George, Utah, USA

 

The website at DoctrineofChristConference.com is being updated with the following information on February 27, 2017

 

 

About this Conference

 

The idea for this spring conference came after the September 2016 Boise Doctrine of Christ Conference where an amazing thing happened – people said they felt something entirely new and different there. For the first time, after so many years of hearing about Zion and reading about Zion, some of us found real hope that we really can learn to love each other enough to live together in a city of peace.

 

That's what the Doctrine of Christ Conference in Boise gave us, and that's what we pray that the St. George Doctrine of Christ Conference will become to those who gather there this spring. Every detail of what we have planned and sacrificed in order to make this conference happen is to invite our Lord to be present, again, and to feel that sweet spirit of fellowship that makes life worth living.  

 

Who we are

 

We are a few friends and believers in the Doctrine of Christ as taught in The Book of Mormon. We are not a formal organization or fellowship.

This conference is non-denominational and is not affiliated with any organized religion. There is no specific group hosting this event – we're all just individuals contributing our time and effort to make this happen. The heavy lifting for the web site, and technical help with sound and recording comes from some of the Boise folks who did it before and are kind enough to do it again so we don't have to reinvent the wheel. We thank them sincerely.

 

Location

 

We chose Southern Utah for several reasons. One is for the sheer beauty of the place. Another good reason is the warmer spring weather in the Southern Utah area. But proximity to our friends in California, Arizona and Nevada was most important to us, since St. George is about halfway between them and our North Idaho and Canadian friends. Having this conference at the crossroads will, we hope, make it a little easier for those who were unable to make the drive to Boise. God brought us together, we want to stay together. 

 

Spring break is a tough time to find room at the inn in this area. Hopefully, if you haven't yet booked a room you can still find a place nearby in the surrounding areas of Mesquite, La Verkin, Hurricane, Cedar City, or Parowan.

 

Please make your reservations ASAP.

 

With what we anticipate being shared in the presentations at this conference,

and also the spirit which will attend it, we encourage you to expend any effort to come if you are impressed to do so, in spite of difficulty. There is a place provided at the end of this page for you to request help, or to provide help for those who are requesting lodging, but please be aware that options are very limited. The organizers are few in number but will do what we can to assist. 

 

The timing and the date of this conference

 

Spring Equinox is a time each year when light begins to overcome the darkness

of winter. This is the perfect time to gather again with old friends, to make new friends, and to rejoice in the light of new revelations coming forth in our day. The conference presentations of Saturday March 18th, and Sunday March 19th will provide a natural transition into the actual day of Equinox: Monday, March 20, 2017.

 

The planners had originally envisioned organizing a conference sunrise service at the Parowan Gap Monday morning, but have decided instead to focus all logistical time and resources on the speaking and Sacrament sessions of the conference. We leave it to individuals and families to create the Parowan Gap sunrise experience on their own. Maps of Parowan Gap and other interesting local areas will be available at the welcome tables at both venues, and drive directions are provided below.    

 

The venues  

 

As we first contemplated organizing this conference and searched for locations, the impression came to go big or go home. We knew we needed to plan for at least a thousand people, probably more since general press releases will go out in Las Vegas, St. George and Salt Lake City. There are many considerations for a group this size, especially families with small children. The Cox Center for the Performing Arts seemed perfect. There's seating for 1,200, an easy access location, good parking, clean accessible restrooms, and great acoustics for speakers and recording. There is a carpeted foyer for toddlers to roam, and piped sound and video to the foyer for any overflow crowd.

 

The Cox Center is on the campus of Dixie State University and therefore alcohol is not allowed on the premises. It's a great place for speakers, but we found that there was just no way to do a conference Sacrament service there. 

 

We wanted to be able to provide a place where the Sacrament with wine could be served, so we had to rent a separate "wine friendly" place. That's the reason there are two venues. The Hilton Garden Inn was chosen because of proximity to Cox, and because the ballroom seats about 400.  If needed, we can provide two Sacrament services, one after the other, to accommodate all of those who would like to take the Sacrament at this conference. The earlier Sacrament will start at 6:00 pm, and a second Sacrament service may be available at about 8:00 pm if there are those who were not able to take the Sacrament at 6 pm. Families with small children may want to attend the earlier Sacrament meeting.  

 

The Hilton charges a $5.00 per bottle (or per canning jar) "corkage" fee for any wine brought from outside, so we are asking that families please do not bring your own wine to this Sacrament meeting. All wine and grape juice will be provided.  

 

We have secured the Hilton from 8 am to 10 pm Saturday as a general meeting and gathering place. After the last Sacrament there will be time available for socializing at the Hilton until 10 pm. Although a welcome table will be available and there will be greeters there off and on during the day Saturday, the Hilton is not available to us on Sunday. 

 

When we got the actual cost figures for renting the Cox Auditorium and the Hilton Garden Inn we were nearly overwhelmed. We were trying to figure out how in the world we could possibly do this when a donor stepped up and provided the cash contribution which enabled us to secure both places under contract. Of course that person wishes to remain anonymous, but we hope that when he/she is sitting there in the audience surrounded by all of us experiencing the blessing of being able to witness this event, the magnitude of the effect of that generosity will warm the heart and soul of our donor.

 

There are significant costs associated with any large event like this. We're not out of the woods yet and are doing our best to cover the remainder of the costs of the venues, all the Sacrament bread and wine for 800 people, program printing, etc.

 

We could sure use your help to cover these costs. Anything you can contribute is needed. On the web page at DoctrineofChrist.com is a place to contribute, if you can. Please know that after basic conference costs are covered 100% of all extra funds will go directly to those in need of financial assistance.

 

Saturday morning baptisms

 

We have scheduled 9:00 am for baptisms at Ivins Reservoir, in order to allow time to get back to St. George, dress, eat lunch and make it to the Cox Auditorium for the start of the Saturday conference at 1:00 pm. But baptisms can of course be any day or time which you prefer.

 

There are other places around the area for living water baptisms. One warm springs pool is close by has a steep trail down to it. (See notes at the end for detail.) Maps and information will be available at the welcome tables, and from contacting the Born of Water web host directly yourself, which we encourage you to do if you have any questions. That link is listed on the website.     

 

Ivins Reservoir is about 12 miles from St. George, and is easily accessible for baptisms at any time. It's a public place, so there may possibly be others there, but that's not very likely at 9 am in March. The water is quite refreshing (OK, really cold). There are no public restrooms but we're planning for a tent to be there for changing and dressing. If you think you may want to be baptized, please bring your own extra towels. Someone with authority from Jesus Christ will be at Ivins Reservoir at 9:00 am to baptize you if you have not brought someone yourself. (There will not be anyone standing by at other baptism sites besides Ivins.) Information on how to get to Ivins Reservoir is posted on the web site.

 

The Speakers and the Program

 

After a lot of prayer, and our willingness to let the Lord indicate who the speakers should be - each one of the speakers became an obvious choice to contribute their particular perspective on an aspect of The Doctrine of Christ.   

 

Their topics and speaking order will be listed in a later update. For now we have confirmed the following as speakers; Rob and Quintina BearChief Adolfo, Denver Snuffer, Karen Strong, Jeanene Custer, John Pratt, Chris Hamill, and Paul Durham. There may be others to come. 

 

All conference speakers will be recorded, and their talks will be made available on the Doctrine of Christ Conference website at a later date. Where possible, transcripts of talks will also be made available. Denver Snuffer's talk may also be available on his website in audio and transcript form at a later date.  

 

All conference prayers will be by invitation. Various musical numbers will be presented, as detailed in the printed programs which will be available at the welcome tables. There will also be congregational hymns. Testimonies at the Saturday Sacrament meeting are by inspiration and invitation. Because of time restraints there will not be an open testimony mic at this conference, but hopefully the time will soon come when that is possible.   

 

Although starting times of each session are fixed, as noted below, we have reserved additional time at both venues in order to make the ending times flexible enough to accommodate the spirit of whatever is being presented. Be aware that ending times may go over what is posted.

 

Both Chris Hamill and Denver Snuffer will have Q and A time in the speaking schedule.  3x5 cards for writing your questions for both Chris and Denver will be available at the welcome tables. A submission button tor questions for Denver will be active on the Doctrine of Christ website shortly.

Recent Sunday Studies

Some Mental Brain Storming From Sunday:

There are important things that Snuffer hinted about in The First Three Words (found in the book Essays: Three Degrees or in the link below), trying to help us realize we need to "see" where we are.

Add that to a prior discussion about the need of being fore-ordained with "priesthood" prior to coming here (or it's like ordaining a sack of flour), and the "Noble & Great" degree talked about by Abraham. There seems to be different degrees or levels of spirits that come to mortality based upon prior progression/failure ("3 degrees"). Another part caught my curiosity, when Snuffer said something about Ham's wife Egyptus not aware about being caught up into a city of Enoch like the others did (Snuffer also references this comment to Moses 7:22 and Abraham 1:22-23)... though all 8 stayed in the ark to continue the mortal experience after a major cleansing. Also important is the need to be "Complete", by having a certain promise and an eternal relationship... even prior to ascending to the Lord's Presence (a Throne Ascension). If some who come into this life are not even able to hold priesthood based on their not passing/keeping their first mortal estate, not having it fore-ordained before this life according to Alma... then we must presume that not all can have greater things that require priesthood as a foundation, like C&E promises, some sealing authority, eternal relationship and throne ascensions(seeing the face of God). I pondered about the Lord and the crumbs to dogs comment to the lady who wanted healed (and He eventually does heal her), and Him coming only to work with IsraEl (the family of God), etc. Which brings to mind why some are placed in the mortal circumstances that they are, who gets certain opportunities. And what about the talk about some cursed lineages not holding priesthood in the past (I mean why are some spirits placed into those lineages -or other harsh living environments- in the first place, and how long do such curses continue - 3 or 4 generations after that family ceases the carried on error or at the time of Christ's Atonement?)... prior to and after dividing up "priesthood" into 3 different levels; or Joseph or Brigham doing some kind of marital re-arrangements; which later morphed into Brigham selfishly thinking a man with more priesthood can have the wife (if she so chooses) of a husband who has lesser (or none at all I would assume falls into that). What if there is something to matching up spouses on similar progression level/degrees that BY later altered for his selfish benefit? Can a Terrestial degree (second estate) person have an eternal union with someone Telestial (first estate) in the same mortality? The Noble and Great already obtained C&E, Eternal Sealed Relationships, etc before coming here, and then have those things restored or re-confirmed to them here (like Denver said about Joseph Smith in 1832 in the Mission of Elijah)? Who could even non-pridefully accept, let alone declare openly, to "see" that they were among the Noble and Great in the first place, even if true? Then think about plural wives of prophets in the Bible (even Denver discusses in PTHG and Mission of Elijah of the two rare reasons it can be lived and how Joseph progressed for being obedient to it though he personally found it morally wrong) and what ever actually occurred in Joseph Smith's history. Maybe we can better see when such things might be a necessity.

Gets the wheels turning. Had some further inspiration and instructions (more stuff I find hard to digest). Then reading NT and other writings seemed to shed more light later that same day. 


We gotta have the proper foundation to really understand. The full gospel is complex. Anyway, back to publicly debating little things online like some arguing about saving for a Temple to redeem Zion... good grief, what's it gonna be like when gathering occurs, actual temple building, temple ordinances, sharing, etc.
