Todd McLaughlin - Learning and Living The Law of Consecration

Todd's website: www.ToAwakeandArise.com.
This is one of the most thoughtful and frank discussions we have ever had, or heard, about the real inner work needed to understand and live the Law of Consecration. Why didn't the early Saints live the Law of Consecration? What happened because they didn't?
How do we know where we stand with God, how we have progressed, or what we need to do to "go the distance" toward Zion?
Sisters of Liberty has A New Class Every Wednesday Morning at 9:30 AM

    This is really moving me to learn more about how I can live the law of consecration. Thank you, Br. McLaughllin I felt the Spirit so strong! For months now I knew I needed something. This gave me hope! I think this is where I am supposed to go and to make my Temple worship more meaningful.

    It is amazing how the depth of truth can be found without going through a hierarchy of teachers. Also the fact that wisdom is scattered among Us. It isn't just the most successful, commercial or public, where you will solve the drought and want for hearing the word of the Lord. How deep is the rabbit hole? I don't think there is a bottom. I hope and pray we can all retain the knowledge that we have been witness to

    Thank you. We appreciate that, and we appreciate anything we all can do to keep "Gathering Israel" and putting forth these materials to consider. We are all "in-process" and we don't claim to represent the Church on anything we publish, but there are so many amazing faithful followers of Christ who have given amazing offerings of research, life-study and sacrifice to our dear Savior's cause. What greater cause is there? ツ

    One important aspect of the law of consecration is that it must be administered by the Bishop. It cannot be lived, as a church, without priesthood authorization.

    The truth of it is Christ has it covered. His grace is sufficient and if you are afraid that your not worthy you don’t trust that Christ has it covered. As soon as we think it is something we can do we then we don’t have faith in him. I’d recommend everyone get into the gospels in the Bible and Paul’s epistles. Spend time in the book of John and let the words of grace spoken in those books.

    Great suggestion. Paul is one of my favorites for fierce faith, and I wanted to have his attitude to praise God in the storms, and count it small. I never realized what a journey of sore persecution and ruin could visit me, my family, business etc. But how could we truly "descend" like the Savior, without seeking to ascend (Jacob's ladder-Earth Schooling) toward the Savior's example. Yes, He completely covers us with His covenant...and we always have a choice to honor our best efforts to honor Him back in our growth, choices, development, thoughts, feelings, and the process of Educating our Hearts His Ways. He does ask us to do hard things sometimes, and He is the most amazing Heart Surgeon too. Why we we be cheated of the process of "Becoming" more like Him? More whole and complete? ツ

    You have a discussion about the return of plural marriage. I think it's quickly coming with the law of consecration, after all that's consecrating EVERYTHING. It's the ultimate sacrifice. It's about giving every faithful woman a husband, not every husband many wives. A hint that it's coming is the fact that in the temple the wording now is ambiguous. It says "husbands & wives" instead of "husband & wife". What's the point of more confusion unless it's because it's coming?

    Enoch and his people learned to live the law, the Nephites and Lamanites learned to live the law, both groups had Christ among them “oft” helping them know how to live the law, the Millennium will be a time we live the law, and Christ will be among us… is it possible to live the law without Christ among us?

    IMO, “Christ” is a pattern not a person. We think that Christ was Jesus’s last name when obviously it isn’t…..it’s Jesus “the christ”. It’s a title, a pattern. When anyone lives with Christ among them, it just means that they are living in accordance with the Christ pattern

    Todd's presentations have helped me so much! I totally get everything he is speaking of. His thoughts on fear holding us back from consecrating ourselves to the Lord was spot on! It was the break through that I needed..I can't thank him enough! His last comments regarding the process of receiving personal revelation.. specifically regarding plural marriage..was another spot on! I have been through this process and the Lord sent me to places I needed to go for info. When I presented Him with the info. his spirit clearly revealed this to me...multiple times. The Lord needs info. to work with before he can reveal if something is true or not. I'd love to know how to connect with Todd if he has a blog or other writings. Love Robert Kay too! Thnx for these presentations.

    A couple points: there is only one way to be saved and that is Jesus Christ. The scriptures say no one else stands at the gate right? The scriptures say it clearly and multiple times that if we put all our trust in Him we shall be saved. Also, Zion, the Kingdom of God is in our hearts. Joseph wrongfully prophesied of this location of Zion multiple times and we’re still going to focus on a physical place here on the earth that will be destroyed in the second coming?

    I agree. The saints trekked across the plains looking for Zion, half of them dying or suffering miserably, and never finding any such physical place because they misunderstood that Zion isn’t a physical place it’s the pure in heart. The kingdom of heaven is WITHIN and “not of his world”. Anyone looking for it “lo here or lo, there” as a physical place in this world deceived. It seems pretty clear to me from scripture. The church’s popular usage of the phrase “building the kingdom of god on earth” seems to be in direct contradiction to the teach8ngs of Christ IMO. I could be very wrong though, I dunno.

    Zion is to be built by the returned 10 tribes. It will be joined by the returned city of Enoch, which is translated and already in the the paradisiacal state.. It will not be destroyed at His coming, but preserved. He will destroy the wicked and cleanse the Earth of all impurities. Zion will have no impurities because one definition of Zion is the pure in heart. Another name for the city of Zion is New Jerusalem. It will be built in a physical place, in Jackson County, MO. Joseph Smith is a true prophet and he made no error.
