Sections 25-28

So in section 25 I got a slap in the face.  I have a tendincy lately to be reading something and question and then find out that I cannot have an answer because it has to do with something in the temple.  I cannot compalin any more.  I just can't.  I am not supposed too. 
4 Murmur not because of the things which thou hast not seen, for they are withheld from thee and from the world, which is wisdom in me in a time to come.

Heavenly Father has blessed me with something so importent, but even though I think that I have the right to know, I guess I am not ready to know for that reason.  It will come in time, and when I do get to that time, it will be the time that I am supposed to know what those things mean. 
So for all of us, we shouldn't be mad that we don't know something, everything will work out, in the Lords time.  He knows when we are supposed to know.  I need to prove myself worthy, we all need to prove ourselves worthy and we will find out what we need to know. 

We need to set some time apart for study and prayer in our lives.  Not just some little studying but DEVOTATED studying.  We will learn so much from that.  Open study with prayer and stop and ponder and close with prayer.  We need that habbit to learn more and well it ties in with the above .. the more we work so we can stand taller and have the more knowledge then the closer we get to who we are supposed to be. 

We need to teach by the spirit but not take what we are told as commandment.  He is guiding us and helping us for us.  If we learn something to teach, teach it BY the spirit.  The spirit is the best teacher, and we should let it into our lives and grow and enjoy what peace it brings.  I LOVE THE SPIRIT.  My blessing has so much to do with the spirit and it blows my mind how much I need the spirit in my life and how empty I feel when I dont have it.  It also reminds me of my EFY interview, the question I had, basicly asked why do we need an envornment of revaltion.  We need the spirit to learn. (when we get into D&C 118, I CAN'T WAIT .. it is what I call the education section and it is one of my FAVS.!!!)  If we don't have the spirit then we wont really get what we are leaning and it wont be that big of an impact.  Have you ever had those OMGsh moments were things click?  I know that it was once I finally let the spirit into my life and that is what helps me grasp those concepts I cannot understand or reach. 

THE ARMOR OF GOD
27:15-18

15 Wherefore, lift up your hearts and rejoice, and gird up your loins, and take upon you my whole armor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having done all, that ye may be able to stand.


-put on the armor and do all that you can .. you have to put it all on, you just cant try a little and have just part of the armor on, you arn't doing all you can, if you do this you will be able to withstand satan.
16 Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which I have sent mine gangels to commit unto you;

-STAND UP FOR WHO YOU ARE, don't just sit there and chill out.  Stand for truth, stand for righteousness, know what you are standing for.  I know there have been times that I don't fully know what I am standing up for, and people wont buy that, you need to KNOW the gospel.
17 Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked;

-Hold that sheild up.  Keep the faith that the Lord is there for you, he will protect you, and with your faith, satan can't touch you.

18 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my Spirit, which I will pour out upon you, and my word which I reveal unto you, and be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask of me, and be faithful until I come, and ye shall be caught up, that where I am ye shall be calso. Amen.

-Keep the spirit with you at all times. 

When you wear the armor of God, you WILL be protected. .. but you need it ALL!

The last thing I want to share is in these sections it mentions music. 
25:12 For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads.
The hymns are not just words we are singing.  Hymns are testimonies.  Everytime I sing I am singing to my Heavenly Father.  Hymns are prayers of the heart, and are treated as so by Heavenly Father.  There have been times of me laying in bed and I am just singing my prayer instead of talking it.  Heavenly Father loves music, he is the one who gave it to us.  He doesn't care if you are good or bad, he doesn't, it is the message that is being sent.  Are you singing praises to him? or are you singing the things of the world?  That is what you have to pay attention to.  I could go on for HOURS on my testimony on music.  But for now just know that music was given to us by Heavenly Father, he commanded Emma to make the first hymn book that we might sing unto him.  And again, he doesn't care how we sound as long as it is a song from the heart, our testimony, that we know the words we are singing are true.
