  • 0024: Having the Holy Ghost as a Constant Companion
    Jul 25 2024

    Hi everyone, Paisley Imperfect here! Today, we're looking at the vital role of the Holy Ghost in our lives. Throughout our discussions, the common thread has always been about listening to the Spirit and following its guidance. Today, I want to share insights from President Henry B. Eyring's October 2015 talk, "The Holy Ghost as Your Companion," and explore how we can achieve and maintain the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost.

    In This Video, You'll Learn:

    1. What the Holy Ghost Does:
      • Warns us to resist temptation.
      • Protects us and our loved ones from increasing temptations.
      • Makes what is good more attractive and temptation less compelling.
      • Gives us the power to discern truth from falsehood.
      • Verifies and confirms eternal truths.
    2. Benefits of the Constant Companionship of the Holy Ghost:
      • Never lack knowledge of the truth.
      • Always have strong faith and fullness of joy.
      • Increased power to choose the right.
    3. How to Obtain and Keep the Companionship of the Holy Ghost:
      • Have hearts full of charity.
      • Let virtue garnish our thoughts unceasingly.
      • Act on promptings from the Spirit.
      • Pray in faith and study the scriptures diligently.
      • Additionally, I share a personal experience about how the Holy Ghost tried to protect me from temptation and discuss President Eyring’s emphasis on the importance of revelation and personal testimony, especially in trying times.

  • 0023: Sincere Prayer
    Jul 23 2024

    Hi everyone! In today's video, I talk about my feelings on sincere prayer. After receiving a comment asking for my thoughts on this topic, I felt inspired to share my experiences and insights.

    We'll explore:

    • Why Prayer Works: Evidence from scriptures and personal experiences.
    • Teaching Moments: Stories from my early 20s and 30s, teaching primary and seminary, and the importance of prayer.
    • Personal Struggles: How I dealt with feelings of abandonment and anger during my infertility journey and how sincere prayer helped me through those tough times.
    • Practical Advice: The importance of addressing God with reverence, but also the significance of starting where you are, no matter how clumsy your words might feel.

    I reference powerful talks by Elder Scott and President Kimball, emphasizing that Heavenly Father wants to hear from us, no matter how we address Him. We'll also discuss the importance of listening for answers through the Holy Ghost and trusting in God’s greater plan for us.

    Key Quotes:

    • “Prayer is a supernal gift of our Father in Heaven to every soul.” - Elder Scott
    • “It is essential that we really speak to the Lord, having faith that He will reveal to us what we need to know and do for the welfare of our families.” - President Kimball

    Join me as I share heartfelt stories and practical tips on how to make your prayers more sincere and meaningful. Remember, God is always listening and wants to help you see yourself with all your divine potential.

  • 0021: The Word v. The Sword
    Jul 18 2024

    Welcome back, everyone! It's Paisley Imperfect here. I apologize for not being on camera today—I’m down with a summer cold, and my puffy eyes aren’t exactly camera-ready!

    In today's brief message, we’ll take a quick look at Alma 31:5 and think about how the word of God can be a more effective tool for change than any weapon. With the world facing so many divisive challenges, it's crucial to remember that love and faith can lead us to righteousness and unity.

    📖 Scripture of the Day: Alma 31:5 “And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.”

    Let's imagine if our leaders today echoed Alma's wisdom. Instead of responding to violence with violence, what if we chose to spread love and God's word?

    Key Takeaways:

    • Understanding the power of the Word of God over physical force
    • Reflecting on President Nelson's quote: "Satan delights in your misery"
    • Embracing love as our primary motive in all interactions
    • Inspiring others to come to Christ through love and example

    Thank you for joining me today. Your patience and support mean the world as I recover. I’ll be back on Monday with our regular content. Until then, stay blessed and keep spreading love!

  • 0020: Organically Sharing the Gospel
    Jul 16 2024

    Hi everyone! In this episode, I’ll talk about Elder Dallin H. Oaks' October 2016 General Conference talk, "Sharing the Restored Gospel." Elder Oaks provides practical advice on how we can share the gospel, even if it's our first time.

    Key Takeaways:

    1. Pray for the Desire: Seek the motivation to share the gospel.
    2. Keep the Commandments: Lead by example and attract others through your faith.
    3. Pray for Inspiration: Ask for guidance on how to share the gospel in your unique circumstances.

    Additional Tips from Elder Oaks:

    • People learn when they are ready, not when we are.
    • Focus on inviting others to learn about Jesus Christ, not just the church.
    • Be authentic and show genuine concern for others.
    • Reach out beyond your immediate circle.
    • Plan special sacrament meetings for visitors.
    • Stay connected with people of all backgrounds.
    • Utilize social media to share uplifting messages.

  • 0017: It’s OK. Keep Going
    Jul 9 2024

    Hi everyone, it's Paisley Imperfect here! 🌸 Today, I'm sharing three powerful quotes that I recently found on Pinterest, all focused on our journey to becoming better versions of ourselves. 💪✨

    Elder Holland reminds us that "if for a while, the harder you try, the harder it gets. Take heart. So it has been with the best people who ever lived." It might get tougher before it gets easier, but we can push through!

    President Nelson encourages us to "keep studying the scriptures. Keep doing things that build your faith in Jesus Christ. Notice the wise choices you're naturally drawn to make." Our dedication to faith will guide us to better decisions.

    Brianna Wiest beautifully states, "Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It's going to cost you your comfort zone... but it doesn't matter because the people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side." Embrace the changes and let go of what doesn’t help you improve.

    As we strive to improve ourselves and strengthen our faith, remember that it's okay to leave some things behind. This journey might get challenging, but we are on the right path. Keep studying, keep growing, and take heart! 💖

    Thanks for joining me today. Have a wonderful week!
