Drawing Upon the Power of God in Our Lives
Elder Kelly R. Johnson, a member of the Seventy with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, reconstructs an experience with his children while they were all home working in the yard. His daughter went inside the house and used an empty microwave oven to time her 30-minute piano practice. But without anything inside the oven to absorb the high-powered energy of the operating microwave, a near crisis of a self-destructing appliance required the family to respond quickly to avert disaster. Elder Kelly compares this phenomenon to what can happen if we don’t have genuine substance within ourselves and neglect to utilize God’s power and be prepared for challenging times.

Who knew that he was trained to be a firefighter in Boise.
This was actually both spiritually profound and absolutely hilarious 😂 Thank you for this inspiring video 🙏
As a Catholic I say AMEN. Wonderful video.
This is a great analogy of how we need to fill ourselves with the light of the gospel or we'll go down in flames.
This is so powerful and funny all rolled into one. Thank you for this timely reminder.

Kirby is great isn't he.
Me too I am the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints I like this church
Awesome! If we each have strong faith in Jesus Christ, miracles will follow. The greatest miracles Christ did weren't giving sight to the blind, or even raising the temporal body back to mortality. They were his suffering for our sins, and afflictions, followed by, his death, and Resurrection. This enables us to live forever with him and our loved ones! Eternal life truly is a miracle!
I've heard of this story before, but I have NEVER interpreted it like this. Thank you for sharing this with us. This was very inspiring thank you.
Great message and so cool to see Kirby!

My wife sent this to me and I started listening to it in the background while working in the garage and I thought, "why would she send me this video when I remember this story from general conference?" Then I decided to watch it again a little later and as soon as I saw kirby I knew that was really the reason that she sent it to me.
Hahahaha! Love this re-enactment! Great message and great video
This is one of the best church videos ever! It was entertaining and memorable.
The Spirit hit hard at the end of this, amen, amen, amen

Or maybe she just started smelling the smoke since that thing was pretty crispy by the time she went to check in it .
Thank you for that. A very important principle here. Amen 🙏

Very good video, although, am I the only one concerned that the burning microwave was thrown into a pile of dried leaves?
Sorry, totally random, but what else was the Mom in. She looks so familiar, but I can’t place other movies she’s been in.

Another thought: When the child was looking at the dad smugly ( 1:43 ). It reminded me of a scriptures. Heveanly father was protecting Daniel from the flames of hell. It surprised me, but yeah.

I would like to bear my testimony that I know this church is the true church of God. I have seen his power today so much more than I have ever seen ever. Watching the last part of the video after pausing it for who knows what today is why I am writing this. He HAS A PLAN. HE KNOWS WHY I MADE THESE NOTES. I HAD NO IDEA. I HOPE THIS TOUCHES SOMEONE HEART TODAY. Yes I am venting in KZread comments, shut up. ❤️❤️ I love y’all pls be safe pLSASE DONT TRUST STRANGERS. PLSAZE PLEASE PLEASE. Oh my gosh. TRUST TRUST. I am speaking through the Holy Spirit And my experiences today. :)) Good night everyone.

** Facts i didn’t even notice I said TRUST YOUR PARENTS gosh 🦿🦷🦷 my parents know what they doing ❤
Mom or dad should have gone inside to listen to her practice, encourage her, keep her company, keep her focused. I can see so many angles to this scenario. The Holy truths you speak of are good , I'm just not seeing the parallels you are making however.
I finally overcame a challenge recently. I was in a relationship where I was commanded to put all of my time into it, but never actually receive any myself. I kept paying for things that I wasn't asked if it was ok to spend my money like that. I was threatened, that if I ever told their secrets I would have my throat cut. And they treated my daughter like trash, as if she was second rate compared to my son. And while we were growing up, they made me talk to a third party about my sexual thoughts. And that was creepy and beyond unsettleing. But here I am today, in the healthiest relationship of my life. My two babies are treated as equals. All the money I earn is used to keep my new family safe and comfortable. And my wife loves us, and cares about all of us with all her heart. Crazy how leaving the lds organization has made everything better. Skol!
Now she's really not going to be allowed to go play
