God’s Declarations that Joseph Smith Lied

21 July

There are times in life when we become aware the Lord is orchestrating events around us, and this becomes even more apparent when we start walking with Him. Today we’re looking at a number of verses in His word where God reveals He resides inside His believers. No doubt, for each verse listed below there are numerous others!

For the sake of time and space, we’ve listed but a few of the times God reassures us that He lives inside of us. What comfort that’s brought to me countless times!

The flipside of this is the tragedy that some people don’t have the same luxury because they’ve bought into lies of others in whom they’ve placed their trust.

The Mormons, my beloved people, have done just that by following a man who decided to hate the Bible, and therefore, God Himself as well. It’s clear in the writings of his own prophecies from a false god that his goal was to lead people away from the Lord, not to Him.

I was reminded of how empty my everyday life was before I became a Christian after speaking with my mother not long ago. Long story short, she obviously wasn’t aware Jesus could calm her nerves during times of distress. Oh be still my heart…

We thought it’d be good to have a few verses on hand to share with your Mormon friends/loved ones. Be sure to point out how often God reassures us of His Holy Spirit residing inside of us – and remember beloved – unbelievers can already see there’s something different in your life than their own.

Above all things, we pray it brings glory to Him, and the Mormon people will come to a saving knowledge of Christ Jesus and Him crucified.

Be blessed!

—Doctrine and Covenants 130:3, 22 “John 14:23—The appearing of the Father and the Son, in that verse, is a personal appearance; and the idea that the Father and the Son dwell in a man’s heart is an old sectarian notion, and is false. 22 The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us.

—Galatians 1:15-16 “But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood.”
