The Prince of the house of David : J. H. Ingraham

Shalom Family! As I was reading in chapter 8 this morning, I was amazed at how much this chapter was connected to the lesson Elder gave us yesterday. I am writing a few verses and I hope you will feel compelled to read the rest of it 💜💜💜 5 And there are seven qualities of spirit that will allow those in the temporal world to begin to be able to crossover to experience Eden or conditions of the next life and the eternal truth concerning life in the temporal world And those who embark to enter in to acquire and practice these seven qualities of spirit must long to know the truth and be filled with the spirit of love for Anokeesed and the Man that He became and all creation into which He has lovingly placed them And these are the seven qualities of spirit that will join you to the spirits of life in all holy creation and to your fellows and to your Redeemer 6 The first of the seven is you must learn to spend most of your waking hours thinking feeling or speaking to Anokeesed or to Motsah the Lamb And when you are not speaking to Him out loud speak to Him in your mind and think to Him and feel towards Him and with Him And you must love Him with all the capacity of your human soul And you must think of Him as always being present with you as you walk in the way of the activities of life And in this way you must acknowledge Him in all you do and in all the workmanship of your hands 7 And you must keep Him close to you by behaving and thinking in a way that does not compel Him to withdraw the closeness of His Spirit And you must be diligent to safeguard His Presence with you by responding to the ebb and flow of the Spirit to be led by it And the cornerstone of your bonding must be repentance praise and thankfulness 8 And the second of the seven is that starting at an early age you must develop a deep and profound humility in approaching Him And this humility is not self-abasing but a happy and confident exchange between friends And in humility acknowledge the reality of His Soul And you must ever express in your heart that there is not anything you know that He does not know better there is nothing holy you desire that He has not desired first for you in righteousness there is nothing you love that He does not love more profoundly there is nothing good and holy you hope for that He has not already prepared for you or those for whom you hope 9 And any view or perspective you have of anything He can make that view purer truer clearer and more practical And He is your resource for being successful in any endeavor and effective in all your relationships And He knows where you are going before you start out And He knows the intent of your heart in all things And you must.feel responsible for the effect you have upon His tender feelings 1O And true humility is when you are just as comfortable acknowledging in your soul when you are wrong as well as when you are correct when you are good at something or when you are not and when you know or when you do not Be graciously thankful when you are correct and repentant when you are not and true humility will envelop you in your walk with Him And those who are uncomfortable with compliments or who disdain to admit their errors are wanting in their humility
