How powerful is God's word? What is the priesthood? How powerful is that priesthood? We scratch the surface of these questions to try to gain a better understanding of what power we have available to us if we just have the faith to use it. From the creation to today there are countless examples before us demonstrating these two powers that really are synonymous with each other. Examining these leads us to looking at how God's word and priesthood are the key to either our salvation or our destruction depending on if we choose to be on the Lord's side, or just off to the side.
Thanks for all of your support.

“The heavenly Priesthood will unite with the earthly, to bring about those great purposes; and whilst we are thus united in the one common cause, to roll forth the kingdom of God, the heavenly Priesthood are not idle spectators, the Spirit of God will be showered down from above, and it will dwell in our midst. The blessings of the Most High will rest upon our tabernacles, and our name will be handed down to future ages; our children will rise up and call us blessed; and generations yet unborn will dwell with peculiar delight upon the scenes that we have passed through, the privations that we have endured, the untiring zeal that we have manifested, the all but insurmountable difficulties that we have overcome in laying the foundation of a work that brought about the glory and blessing which they will realize; a work that God and angels have contemplated with delight for generations past; that fired the souls of the ancient patriarchs and prophets; a work that is destined to bring about the destruction of the powers of darkness, the renovation of the earth, the glory of God, and the salvation of the human family.”
