My Third Post Ever
How do you know who is a real servant? I agree and believe in the scripture "For he that receiveth my servants receiveth me". Who is God's servant or who are God's servants? What makes one God's servant? A title? A position?

Re: My Third Post Ever
Yes, these scriptures tell us that God calls servants, it tell us that if we receive God's servants we receive Him, etc. But, how do you know, freedomforall, who is God's servant? Before we follow God's servants don't we need to identify them? What identifies God's servants so that one may "receive them"?

Re: My Third Post Ever
The question at hand, however, is how does one identify who God's servants are? How can I identify God's servants? Or I mean more generally, how can anyone identify God's servants? Is it by title? By position? By what standard do we tell who is God's servant?

Re: My Third Post Ever
God says we can identify His servants by their fruits. God's servants are everywhere. We just have to be able to hear them. In order to hear them we must understand how God speaks. We need to learn to hear and to obey God's voice and then we will be able to hear and follow the voice of His servants.
We can know the truth of all things by the Spirit.
Not title or position makes one a servant of God. Being placed in to a position and being given a title does not make one so. My grandmother and mother raped me repeatedly between the ages of 4-6. They had the title and the position but they abused it. Titles and positions are meaningless unless the inward vessel is clean.
We don't need to reject God's servants just because they aren't speaking from the pulpit at general conference. As we learn to hear God's voice, we will learn to hear His servants, wherever they may be.

Any man not doing all these things you will come to know perfectly.
Good to have this knowledge and follow these instructions yourself, keeping all his commandments, notwithstanding all those who will call you a fool and even worse, they may get angry at you and wish to harm you or even kill you, so be wise but harmless always watchful as Jesus Christ has said.

May God bless you in this search of all his words of great counsel and commandments, that you may feed his sheep and help him in this great work, of redeeming and building Zion. ♡

Sherwin’s post rate represents the ticking of a great clock. The T0CK time interval is longer than the T1CK time interval.
Anyone care to explain why.

Re: My Third Post Ever
If and only when a person speaks by the power of the Holy Ghost or acts under its direction are they acting as a servant of God. Titles and priesthood and positions do not determine whether a person is a servant. D&C 121 tells us that "almost all men" who are called to positions they suppose place them in authority, immediately begin to fight against God and persecute the Saints, ie. THEY ACT WITH TITLES AND POSITIONS AGAINST GOD and not as His servants.darknesstolight wrote: ↑January 10th, 2023, 9:58 am How do you know who is a real servant?

It doesn't take much to be a true servant of God. Jonah had many flaws and weaknesses and perhaps what some would call sins and when he spoke and acted under the direction of the Holy Ghost, he was a servant of God.
Ð&C 68:3-5 speaks about Missionaries but applies to anyone who has the gift of the Holy Ghost.
D&C 50 gives us more insight into this, saying:3 And this is the ensample unto them, that they shall speak as they are moved upon by the Holy Ghost.
4 And whatsoever they shall speak when moved upon by the Holy Ghost shall be scripture, shall be the will of the Lord, shall be the mind of the Lord, shall be the word of the Lord, shall be the voice of the Lord, and the power of God unto salvation.
5 Behold, this is the promise of the Lord unto you, O ye my servants
Realizing a servant is someone acting for God, they must be of God. If they are not of God, then they cannot be His servant.17 Verily I say unto you, he that is ordained of me and sent forth to preach the word of truth by the Comforter, in the Spirit of truth, doth he preach it by the Spirit of truth or some other way?
18 And if it be by some other way it is not of God.
Because they are only servants when acting for God, we can only recognize them by recognizing the Holy Ghost, which requires you to receive of God. There is no other way.
~SeekerD&C 50
19 And again, he that receiveth the word of truth, doth he receive it by the Spirit of truth or some other way?
20 If it be some other way it is not of God.

He and I often exchanged messages and as he was getting old didn't spend much time on Facebook either. He drank a LOT but that was some kind of depression. The guy literally wept for Zion. He tried reaching general authorities, but far as I can tell, they ignored him. He eventually ended up in the outer darkness forum, can't remember why. But you can glean a lot from all his old posts. He was one of a kind.Cruiserdude wrote: ↑January 11th, 2023, 4:39 pmNever knew him but can tell I'd have absolutely loved him. I feel I can picture him speaking out his posts as I read them.....

Re: My Third Post Ever
Because we all live in countless shades of gray. The closer one approaches white, the more repulsive one becomes to those who live in the gray areas. Same with those who approach black. The absolute refusal of the "whites" to be or do anything less than white offends those who pretend to be white. This is one reason the Pharisees hated Jesus. But the righteous are not offended by truth the way Laman and Lemuel were offended by Nephi:Cruiserdude wrote: ↑January 11th, 2023, 5:02 pm ...

1 And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had made an end of speaking to my brethren, behold they said unto me: Thou hast declared unto us hard things, more than we are able to bear.
2 And it came to pass that I said unto them that I knew that I had spoken hard things against the wicked, according to the truth; and the righteous have I justified, and testified that they should be lifted up at the last day; wherefore, the guilty taketh the truth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very center.
3 And now my brethren, if ye were righteous and were willing to hearken to the truth, and give heed unto it, that ye might walk uprightly before God, then ye would not murmur because of the truth, and say: Thou speakest hard things against us.
