“God Is in You”

At the time God reverses his end-time people’s circumstances from curse to blessing, what is it that causes their enemies to confess, “Surely God is in you, and no other gods exist!” (Isaiah 45:14)? Is this a reference to the Holy Ghost’s dwelling in them, as when he says, “This is my covenant with them, […]

Praying with the Heart

When Jesus prayed to the Father for his disciples and for the multitude gathered at Bountiful, they prayed to him directly “without ceasing” (3 Nephi 19:23–32). Only when he asked them to cease praying in order to break bread with them and teach them from the words of Isaiah did they stop: “And it came

The Davidic Covenant

The Davidic Covenant—God’s individual covenant with King David and his heirs—came into being in response to Israel’s need for protection against enemies. Although God had promised his protection under the collective Sinai Covenant, it required his entire people’s obedience to his commandments that are the terms of the covenant. That obedience had been achieved during
