One Powerful Promise or Invitation from Every Talk Given During the April 2018 General Conference
What a memorable general conference we had last weekend and what a gift to hear from living prophets and apostles. As you follow President Russell M. Nelson's challenge to study the talks over the next six months, you will draw closer to the Savior and hear messages meant just for you. To aid in your study of this historical general conference, here is one invitation extended or promise given from each talk of the April 2018 general conference.
Saturday Morning Session
M. Russell Ballard
"My brothers and sisters, we have just participated in a solemn assembly, a practice that can be traced back to the Bible when ancient Israel gathered to feel the Lord's presence and celebrate His blessings. We are privileged to live in a time when this ancient practice has been restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith. I urge you to record in your personal journal what you felt regarding this most sacred occasion in which you have taken part."
Brian K. Taylor
"I invite each of us to seek God and His Beloved Son. 'Nowhere,' President Nelson directed, 'are those truths taught more clearly and powerfully than in the Book of Mormon.' Open its pages and learn that God does 'all things for [our] welfare and happiness'; that He is 'merciful and gracious, slow to anger, long-suffering and full of goodness'; and that 'all are alike unto [Him].'"
Larry J. Echo Hawk
"I invite all of us to forgive completely and let healing occur from within. And even if forgiveness doesn't come today, know that as we desire it and work for it, it will come—just as it eventually did for me after my brother's death."
Gary E. Stevenson
"I offer to you my absolute witness that the will of the Lord, for which we fervently prayed, was powerfully manifest in the activities and events of that day."
Lynn G. Robbins
"It would be wise to regularly take an introspective look through that lens to recognize our progress and inspire us to 'press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope.'"
Neil L. Andersen
"We have the privilege as Latter-day Saints to receive a personal witness that President Nelson's call is from God. While my wife, Kathy, has known President Nelson personally for nearly three decades and has no question about his divine mantle, upon his setting apart, she began reading all his general conference talks of the past 34 years, praying for an even deeper assurance of his prophetic role. I promise you that this greater witness will come to you as you humbly and worthily seek it."
Saturday Afternoon Session
David A. Bednar
"I testify that Jesus Christ is our resurrected and living Redeemer. And I promise that He will guide, protect, and strengthen us as we walk in the meekness of His Spirit."
Taylor G. Godoy
"In other words, if we will offer to the Lord the sacrifice of a broken heart and a contrite spirit, immediately the blessings of the great plan of happiness are manifest in our lives."
Bonnie L. Oscarson
"I encourage you young women to raise your hands to volunteer and to put those hands to work when you see needs around you. As you fulfill your covenant responsibilities and participate in building the kingdom of God, blessings will flow into your life and you'll discover the deep and lasting joy of discipleship."
Taniela B. Wakolo
"I invite each of us to ask ourselves, 'What ordinances, including the sacrament, do I need to receive, and what covenants do I need to make, keep, and honor?' I promise that participating in ordinances and honoring the associated covenants will bring you marvelous light and protection in this ever-darkening world."
Devin G. Durrant
"There will always be opposition to holding family home evening. Regardless, I invite you to find a way around the obstacles and make family home evening a priority—and make fun a key ingredient."
Dale G. Renlund
"When we gather our family histories and go to the temple on behalf of our ancestors, God fulfills promised blessings simultaneously on both sides of the veil."
Priesthood Session
Douglas D. Holmes
"Young men, God has a work for you to do. Your Aaronic Priesthood ordination is central to helping His children receive Christ's atoning power. I promise that as you put these sacred duties at the center of your life, you will feel the power of God as never before. You will understand your identity as a son of God, called with a holy calling to do His work. And, like John the Baptist, you will help prepare the way for the coming of His Son."
D. Todd Christofferson
"I cannot adequately express how excited I am to contemplate the increasingly vital role that elders quorums will play in the future. The wisdom, experience, capacity, and strength that will be found in these quorums portend a new day and a new standard of priesthood service across the Church."
Ronald A. Rasband
"Wherever you are and whatever your circumstances may be, we invite you prayerfully, faithfully, and joyfully to accept new opportunities to lead or to be led and to serve unitedly as a body of priesthood brethren."
Henry B. Eyring
"When we are engaged in service to others, we think less about ourselves, and the Holy Ghost can more readily come to us and help us in our lifelong quest to have the gift of charity bestowed upon us."
Dallin H. Oaks
"If fathers would magnify their priesthood in their own family, it would further the mission of the Church as much as anything else they might do."
Russell M. Nelson
"To all brethren holding the priesthood, I invite you to inspire members to keep their covenants, fast and pray, study the scriptures, worship in the temple, and serve with faith as men and women of God."
Sunday Morning Session
Larry Y. Wilson
"Instead of just listing our problems in prayer and asking the Lord to solve them, we ought to be seeking more proactive ways of receiving the Lord's help and committing to act according to the Spirit's guidance."
Reyna Isabel Aburto
"Like the monarch butterflies, let us continue on our journey together in purpose, each of us with our own attributes and contributions, working to make this a more beautiful and fruitful world—one small step at a time and in harmony with God's commandments."
"My dear brothers and sisters, if you are struggling to find the strength to forgive, don't think of what others have done to you, but think of what the Savior has done for you, and you will find peace in the redemptive blessings of His Atonement."
Claudio D. Zivic
"Whatever our personal situations may be, I testify that our Heavenly Father is constantly saying, 'I love you. I sustain you. I am with you. Do not give up. Repent and endure in the path that I have shown you. And I assure you that we will see each other again in our celestial home.'"
Henry B. Eyring
"I pray with all my heart that you will hear the voice of the Spirit, which is sent to you so generously. And I pray that you will open your heart always to receive Him. If you ask with real intent and with faith in Jesus Christ for inspiration, you will receive it in the Lord's way and in His time."
Dallin H. Oaks
"To protect against the cumulative negative effects that are destructive to our spiritual progress, we need to follow the spiritual pattern of small and simple things."
Russell M. Nelson
"My beloved brothers and sisters, I plead with you to increase your spiritual capacity to receive revelation. Let this Easter Sunday be a defining moment in your life. Choose to do the spiritual work required to enjoy the gift of the Holy Ghost and hear the voice of the Spirit more frequently and more clearly."
Sunday Afternoon Session
Gerrit W. Gong
"Dear brothers and sisters, we belong to each other. We can be 'knit together in unity and in love' in all things and in all places. As the Lord Jesus Christ invites each of us, wherever we are, whatever our circumstances, please 'come and see.'"
Ulisses Soares
"Brothers and sisters, from the bottom of my heart, I testify that the prophets speak by the power of the Holy Spirit. They testify of Christ and His divine mission on earth. They represent the mind and heart of the Lord and are called to represent Him and teach us what we must do to return to live in the presence of God and His Son, Jesus Christ. We are blessed as we exercise our faith and follow their teachings. By following them, our lives are happier and less complicated, our difficulties and problems are easier to bear, and we create a spiritual armor around us that will protect us from the attacks of the enemy in our day."
Jeffrey R. Holland
"Our prayer today is that every man and woman—and our older young men and young women—will leave this general conference more deeply committed to heartfelt care for one another, motivated only by the pure love of Christ to do so. In spite of what we all feel are our limitations and inadequacies—and we all have challenges—nevertheless, may we labor side by side with the Lord of the vineyard, giving the God and Father of us all a helping hand with His staggering task of answering prayers, providing comfort, drying tears, and strengthening feeble knees. If we will do that, we will be more like the true disciples of Christ we are meant to be."
Jean B. Bingham
"As we accept the opportunity to wholeheartedly minister to our sisters and brothers, we are blessed to become more spiritually refined, more in tune with the will of God, and more able to understand His plan to help each one return to Him. We will more readily recognize His blessings and be eager to extend those blessings to others."
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"When we truly behold the Man, we learn of Him and seek to align our lives with Him. We repent and strive to refine our natures and daily grow a little closer to Him. We trust Him. We show our love for Him by keeping His commandments and by living up to our sacred covenants.
In other words, we become His disciples."
Gérald Caussé
"My dear brothers and sisters, are we active in the gospel, or are we merely busy in the Church? The key is to follow the example of the Savior in all things. If we do that, we will naturally focus on saving individuals rather than performing tasks and implementing programs."
Quentin L. Cook
"As individuals, we would do well to evaluate our effort in pursuing missionary work, temple and family history work, and preparations to meet God."
Russell M. Nelson
"I exhort you to study the messages of this conference frequently—even repeatedly—during the next six months. Conscientiously look for ways to incorporate these messages in your family home evenings, your gospel teaching, your conversations with family and friends, and even your discussions with those not of our faith. Many good people will respond to the truths taught in this conference when offered in love. And your desire to obey will be enhanced as you remember and reflect upon what you have felt these past two days."
