If you want the Lord’s help you need the right attitude, motive, and must not retaliate or seek revenge.(35:46) God will support, keep, and preserve us, so long as we are faithful unto Him.(40:45) In 1 Nephi 14, Nephi sees a massive spiritual war in the last days where the saints are contending with an innumerable host. The formula for winning the war is connection with God. He will give us strength, hope, and courage.(46:22) Amalickiah is a type of Lucifer. See how Amalickiah rises to power in Lamanite society.(55:44) In what areas have you come down a little? What are you doing today that you once vowed you would never do?(1:00:07) Moroni was a man of balanced principles. He loved liberty, yet did not delight in warfare. Like Moroni, we need to strengthen and fortify our weaknesses. Even strengths can be our downfall.(1:05:31) Put on new armor to preserve our families. The battle with evil changes and we have to adapt.(1:10:21) We can be happy in a world of uncertainty and turmoil.(1:11:47) The Nephites had all power over their enemies, but they became weakened because of disunity.(1:13:41) Morianton’s maid servant fled to the camp of Moroni.(1:15:00) Contention and dissensions among the people of Nephi brought them down. It is better to prepare and prevent than to repair and repent.(1:19:16) Don’t become what you hate. Unity, following God, and fighting defensively is key for the Nephite victory. Evil has to be chased out with light. → Bryce Dunford’s Institute classes are now available online, sign up here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook
