Handling The Powers of Heaven

Description

President Ezra Taft Benson taught that righteous Elders have the power to save the Constitution from destruction—but how can they defend it if they haven’t studied it, can’t recognize its enemies, and unknowingly are misusing the powers of heaven—both in the nation and within their own homes—resulting in lost covenants, endangered posterity, and forfeited divine protection?

We’ve forgotten that priesthood power can flow from unity, humility, sacrifice, and obedience—not division or pride. Satan, however, seeks to neutralize this power, and too often he succeeds. Many have lost sight of their identity as Israel, their duty to protect the family, liberty, and the Restoration, and to uphold truth from the prophets and with the scriptures as their guide. Although we profess faith in Christ, we often rely on the government to meet needs that only God can truly provide.

H. Verlan Andersen’s teachings offer a clear understanding of the ‘divine purpose’ of government versus Satan’s counterfeit—and show how these principles apply just as powerfully within the home. We invite families to use this workbook not only to understand the foundations of agency and liberty, but to establish true homes governed by His laws—reflecting the order of heaven. It’s not enough to speak of Jesus Christ and His gospel—we must embody it in every thought, word, and action, beginning in our own homes with Jesus Christ as our authority.
