Joseph Smith, Jr: Prayer and Personal Revelation

Thomas S. Monson: To Each Must Come Death
As surely as the sun rises in the east every morning, each of us will face the day when we shuffle off this mortal coil and report to our God. At this time we will be greeted by loved ones and ancestors who have carefully watched our progress on earth. It will be a time of great rejoicing, if we are able to return and report that we lived up to our divine potential to the very best of our ability. If we can say we took advantage of this mortal probation and developed our skills, talents, knowledge and education, developing our spirits as fully as possible through the study and internalization of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, then we have done what we were sent here to do.
Joseph Smith, Jr – Lectures on Faith
In Joseph Smith, Jr.’s “Lectures on Faith” he teaches many powerful lessons, one of which is:
What is This Thing Called Death?
Gordon B. Hinckley, the 15th called prophet of these modern times, wrote a poem several years ago that I just heard for the first time today. The words are so heartfelt, and because I’ve felt death so recently, it hit me particularly hard.
Lorenzo Snow: The Holy Ghost
Baptism is something that is common to many Christian factions across the globe. Many favor the “sprinkling” method, while other Christians, like Mormons, use the “immersion” method as was the baptism of Jesus Christ.
Thomas S. Monson: Life Goes On
President Thomas S. Monson, the sixteenth called prophet in these modern times, teaches the children of God through stories. With an unfailing gentle voice, sweet and tender spirit, a godlike love for each of our Father in Heaven‘s children, he teaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ through story.
The Salvaging of a Nation Begins At Home
In 1996 President Gordon B. Hinckley, the fifteenth called prophet in these modern times, sat down with reporter, Mike Wallace in an unprecedented interview. They discussed a variety of topics, but in particular, Mr. Wallace asked about the state of the nation.
John Taylor: The Value of Education
President John Taylor, the third called prophet in these modern times was an highly educated man. He was introduced to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, referred to as the Mormons, while still living in England. After joining the Church he traveled to America and was with the saints (Mormons) during their travails as the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ gained a foothold in the world once again. He was in the Carthage jail cell when the prophet, Joseph Smith and his brother, the patriarch, Hyrum were assassinated by a mob with their faces painted black. He was critically wounded by that same mob, during that same event, and lay near death for weeks.
John Taylor Testifies of Joseph Smith
John Taylor, the third called prophet of these modern times, has a unique testimony of Joseph Smith, Jr., the prophet of the restoration. President Taylor was in Carthage Jail with Joseph and Hyrum Smith when the mob, faces painted black, charged the jail and assassinated the prophet and patriarch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as the Mormons.
Harold B. Lee: The Way to Eternal Life
What is the difference between eternal life and immortality? Each of Heavenly Father‘s children, every single person born into mortality, and yes, that includes you, will be resurrected regardless of their level of righteousness. This was assured by our Savior, Jesus Christ, when He broke the bands of death and arose in that garden tomb as our resurrected Lord and Redeemer. That is immortality.
