And the multitude did see and hear and bear record; and they know that their record is true for they all of them did see and hear, every man for himself; and they were in number about two thousand and five hundred souls; and they did consist of men, women, and children.
I can know what I know and accept it.
And no tongue can speak, neither can there be written by any man, neither can the hearts of men conceive so great and marvelous things as we both saw and heard Jesus speak; and no one can conceive of the joy which filled our souls at the time we heard him pray for us unto the Father.
My soul is designed to be filled with joy. The only thing that can impede the joy is my choice to focus on the wrong thing. He can help me focus on the right thing if I ask for His help.
And it came to pass that when he had thus spoken, all the multitude, with one accord, did go forth with their sick and their afflicted, and their lame, and with their blind, and with their dumb, and with all them that were afflicted in any manner; and he did heal them every one as they were brought forth unto him.
Whatever is making me feel sad or afraid or angry, He can heal if I ask.

Therefore, go ye unto your homes, and ponder upon the things which I have said, and ask of the Father, in my name, that ye may understand, and prepare your minds for the morrow, and I come unto you again.
If I ask for help, I can understand things.
The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God.
I can see His hand in my life if I look for it.
But if the Gentiles will repent and return unto me, saith the Father, behold they shall be numbered among my people, O house of Israel.
I should do what He asks me, without guilt or shame, even if I've failed to do it previously.
Behold, because of their belief in me, saith the Father, and because of the unbelief of you, O house of Israel, in the latter day shall the truth come unto the Gentiles, that the fulness of these things shall be made known unto them.
Belief is the key to power.
But behold, ye have both heard my voice, and seen me; and ye are my sheep, and ye are numbered among those whom the Father hath given me.
I should take good advice when offered
But, verily, I say unto you that the Father hath commanded me, and I tell it unto you, that ye were separated from among them because of their iniquity; therefore it is because of their iniquity that they know not of you.
I should do what He says.
Behold, I am the law, and the light. Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life.
Don't look at the problem. Ask His help.
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell, and great was the fall of it.
I can withstand storms, He can help me feel peace within them if I ask
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
I should cast the Litany into the fire immediately
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
I should ask for what I want.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient is the day unto the evil thereof.
I should focus on things I can do today.
No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.
I should recognize and obey the source of goodness in my life.
And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works.
"Have" means "do".
Yea, I say unto you come and fear not, and lay aside every sin, which easily doth beset you, which doth bind you down to destruction, yea, come and go forth, and show unto your God that ye are willing to repent of your sins and enter into a covenant with him to keep his commandments, and witness it unto him this day by going into the waters of baptism.
Even when the Litany is accurate, it's never useful. Ever.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If, therefore, the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
I should release the light that is in me.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
The Litany is subtle. I should cut it off when I notice it because it never leads to happiness. I should notice what trains of thought do.
Therefore I would that ye should be perfect even as I, or your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
I should try to be like them
Old things are done away, and all things have become new.
This is a choice. I can choose a new beginnging at any moment
And again it is written, thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths;
I should do what He wants. He will tell me what that is if I ask.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets. I am not come to destroy but to fulfil;
I can have a life that's full of joy. He can help me if I ask.
Feeling fearful didn't help. It never helps.
Feeling sad didn't help. It never helps.
Feeling peace helps. It always helps.
Therefore, go forth unto this people, and declare the words which I have spoken, unto the ends of the earth.
The things I say should reflect well on both me and Him
And after this manner shall ye baptize in my name; for behold, verily I say unto you, that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are one; and I am in the Father, and the Father in me, and the Father and I are one.
I can either be in His name or outside of His name by my actions. He can help me choose wisely if I ask.
Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
I was given a mind to apprehend knowledge. I am able to know things for myself.
Showing his body unto them, and ministering unto them; and an account of his ministry shall be given hereafter. Therefore for this time I make an end of my sayings.
He will give me the comfort I stand in need of, if I ask for His help.
Behold, I say unto you, Yea, many have testified of these things at the coming of Christ, and were slain because they testified of these things.
I can be the coming of Christ by becoming more like Him.
But if not, O house of Israel, the places of your dwellings shall become desolate until the time of the fulfilling of the covenant to your fathers.
The time of the fulfilling is whenever I turn to Him and ask for help. Because He will always keep His part of the covenant.
Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child, him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have laid down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved.
If I'm willing to come, He will accept me and help me do better
Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name.
There is power in His name that I can use to transform my life.
And behold, the city of Gadiandi, and the city of Gadiomnah, and the city of Jacob, and the city of Gimgimno, all these have I caused to be sunk, and made hills and valleys in the places thereof; and the inhabitants thereof have I buried up in the depths of the earth, to hide their wickedness and abominations from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints should not come up any more unto me against them.
I can choose the Litany to be sunk away from me and replaced with His peace.
And in another place they were heard to cry and mourn, saying: O that we had repented before this great and terrible day, and had not killed and stoned the prophets, and cast them out; then would our mothers and our fair daughters, and our children have been spared, and not have been buried up in that great city Moronihah. And thus were the howlings of the people great and terrible.
If I am sorrowing, He will hear my cries and send peace.
And thus the face of the whole earth became deformed, because of the tempests, and the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the quaking of the earth.
I can defeat the draw of the world.
