Product Description
by Denver C. Snuffer Jr. (Author), Restoration Archive (Editor)
This volume contains lectures and other important material including the Prayer for Covenant, and the Answer and Covenant that were received from the Lord and first offered to the Gentiles during 2017, which year marked not only the establishment of the Lord's Covenant again on the Earth, but also the initial completion of the project to recover, correct and canonize the Book of Mormon as Scripture.
We face the same test as all others have ever faced from the days of Adam down to the present. The conflict is perpetual, and the same battle continues from age to age. Humility is absolutely required to progress. The more we think we understand, the less willing we are to receive more. Joseph Smith said, "It is the constitutional disposition of mankind to set up stakes and bounds to the works and ways of the Almighty" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 320). He also said, "I never heard of a man being damned for believing too much but they are damned for unbelief"(TPJS, p. 374). No matter how much you believe you know, humility allows you to learn more. We must voluntarily continue to progress; if we don't, we accept voluntary damnation.
Joseph was a restorer. The moment Joseph and Hyrum were killed, the world began to lose light. The pace at which light is now being lost among the various Christian sects has accelerated. But a new restoration has begun, and a new dispensation of the gospel has opened. Whether the light now offered to us will achieve anything more than came in Joseph's time remains an unanswered question. The Lord cannot force us to receive Him; He can only offer. We must accept.
The Book of Mormon gives a blueprint of the necessary steps for the Gentiles to take for them to become numbered with the "remnant" of the Lord's people and entitled to possess the promised land as their inheritance. The acceptance of the Book of Mormon as a Covenant and a standard by a small group of believers on September 2, 2017 and the first offering of the Lord's Covenant the following day went largely unnoticed by the rest of the world. Although the work of the Father had already commenced by that time, the greater part of the Gentiles had, and continues to have, little interest in it. They are not and will not be numbered among the Lord's remnant people because they refuse to receive the Covenant.
We are all allowed to pursue a relationship with God apart from others. There is no associated obligation to join or support any church. Baptism in preparation for receiving the Covenant, as well as the administration of Covenant itself, are offered to everyone free of charge, worldwide. Everyone is entirely free to reject anything offered by the Lord. There is no compulsion. If you are not persuaded to take the step, then don't take it. Any reservation will only lead to difficulties later. Everyone should make their own prayerful decision about whether to accept the Covenant.
I invite you to carefully review the material contained in this volume. Should you decide you would like to accept the Book of Mormon and receive the Covenant yourself, instructions on how to do so are contained in this volume.
