Expose Evil, Espouse the Scriptures, Endorse the Gospel!


By riannelson@aol.com | February 23, 2021 | Category Trump

“We believe that no government can exist in peace, except such laws are framed and held inviolate as will secure to each individual the free exercise of conscience, the right and control of property, and the protection of life. D&C 134:2

“Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”

Joseph Smith said: “The Constitution is not a law, but it empowers the people to make laws… The Constitution tells us what shall not be a lawful tender… The legislature has ceded up to us the privilege of enacting such laws as are not inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States… The different states, and even Congress itself, have passed many laws diametrically contrary to the Constitution of the United States…

Shall we be such fools as to be governed by its laws, which are unconstitutional? No! … The Constitution acknowledges that the people have all power not reserved to itself. I am a lawyer; I am a big lawyer and comprehend heaven, earth and hell, to bring forth knowledge that shall cover up all lawyers, doctors and other big bodies. This is the doctrine of the Constitution, so help me God. The Constitution is not law to us, but it makes provision for us whereby we can make laws. Where it provides that no one shall be hindered from worshiping God according to his own conscience, is a law. No legislature can enact a law to prohibit it. The Constitution provides to regulate bodies of men and not individuals.” (Feb. 25, 1843.) DHC 5:289-290 Source: Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith 278

“America has entered troubling times. The rule of law is crumbling. The massive expansion of Federal government power with its destructive laws and policies is of grave concern to many. But what can be done to quell the abuse of power by civil authority? Are unjust or immoral actions by the government simply to be accepted and their lawless commands obeyed? How do we know when the government has acted tyrannically?” The Doctrine Of The Doctrine Of The Lesser Magistrates: A Proper Resistance To Tyranny Tim Brown

My Disclaimer

Read through the following headlines. Don’t watch or click on the link of any at first, just read through them. My eyes have been opened as to the way our world seems so upside down. (I cannot vouch for the accuracy or tone of any of this news). Like you I am reading and then verifying as I go. I just want you to read other information that you may not normally receive. Just today I have read most of the links below from Washington Standard which I had never heard about before, and they seem reputable so far but that could change. I try and read with being guided by the Spirit now days. I feel so strongly that most news is fake or has an agenda, the only thing I can depend on is the Lord, as I search daily for truth.

Satan is real and I am trying to do my part to educate others when I see evil. I always suggest you first read Scriptures and any other material from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which I know is the true Church on the earth. Please receive your spiritual base from Prophets and Leaders of our Church and from Scripture and then from personal prayer to verify other news and information that you read about. I love each of you. I am trying to do my part in helping to inform you of many evils I see. I know the Lord is in charge and we will be blessed as we repent daily and seek knowledge and forgiveness. By no means am I correct on everything I say, but hopefully I am just like you in searching for greater light in this world. Rian Nelson

Evil Government

There is something terribly wrong with our current Government. I still hope in some way that former President Trump, General’s Michael Flynn, Mike Rogers, and Thomas McInerny, Lawyers, Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, and former NSA Director Robert Obrien and other good people can still influence our government in some legal way with no violence. I know the election was stolen by evil people who don’t love America and I feel there are less than 5% of politicians that believe our country was founded by God for the benefit of the Gathering of Israel. I believe 80% of our current government works for themselves and not for “We the People”.
Politicians are becoming more dishonest, more powerful and of course richer. As the scriptures say, “We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion. Hence many are called, but few are chosen. D&C 121:39. I know the Lord is with us and will help this “Evil Government” repent of its ways.

The Banned Bill Gates Documentary: Why He Moved From Microsoft To Vaccines

I have prayed over whether I should share this video on this blog. Originally I was going to share it on my bofm.blog website that I do for FIRM Foundation and Rod Meldrum. Since I have not spoken with Rod about this controversial topic such as vaccines and Bill Gates, I decided to only show this on my personal website which is here at www.worksofjoseph.com. I am the only one responsible for this content. I love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I am a lie long member in good standing, but nothing on this site comes from the church. It is strictly my opinion.

I feel a strong desire to share this information and I feel it is time I stand up and do a better job of exposing evil. I have seen evil and I know the Lord has a plan to help our world combat this evil. I am standing up and I want others to be warned without panicking. The Lord will be our ultimate ruler and I look forward to that day.

I will not go into detail but I will say this. I believe Donald Trump is working hard today behind the scenes to combat terrible evil in this world. It is the Cabal, Deep State, Satan Worship, Pedophilia, Sex Trafficking, our Financial System and our Current Government.

It is my deep held belief that a huge change is needed right now that may help bring the truth of the Book of Mormon to more of the world. Less than 1% of the world even know who our Church is and what it is all about. I am hoping to see other nations open up to the preaching of the gospel. I don’t believe the 2nd coming is imminent or right away but of course no one knows, but I believe there could be what I basically would call as a “Second Gathering” or another “Great Awakening” to assist the world in coming closer to the Lord. I am just a man. I don’t claim any supernatural knowledge and am just trying to do my part and destroy evil whenever I can. We need to wake up. May the Lord help us.

I don’t claim that this video is absolutely true, but much in it feels right to me. It just makes sense. I feel as soon as we stop idolizing billionaires, sports stars, Hollywood and other tools of Satan, we may better focus on the One who saved us all, even Jesus Christ.

I hope this video assists you in waking up!

Now for some great News and Warnings from President Benson whom I love.

The Constitution: A Heavenly Banner by Ezra Taft Benson Sept 16, 1986

As you read you will be able to see what has happened to our current government and what we need to do to fix it.

“On the seventeenth day of September 1987, we, commemorate the two-hundredth birthday of the Constitutional Convention, which gave birth to the document that Gladstone said is “the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man” (William Ewart Gladstone: Life and Public Services, ed. Thomas W. Handford [Chicago: The Dominion Co., 1899], p. 323).

I heartily endorse this assessment, and today I would like to pay honor–honor to the document itself, honor to the men who framed it, and honor to the God who inspired it and made possible its coming forth.

SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES

To understand the significance of the Constitution, we must first understand some basic, eternal principles. These principles have their beginning in the premortal councils of heaven.

The Principle of Agency

The first basic principle is agency. The central issue in the premortal council was: Shall the children of God have untrammeled agency to choose the course they should follow, whether good or evil, or shall they be coerced and forced to be obedient? Christ and all who followed him stood for the former proposition-freedom of choice; Satan stood for the latter-coercion and force. The war that began in heaven over this issue is not yet over. The conflict continues on the battlefield of mortality. And one of Lucifer’s primary strategies has been to restrict our agency through the power of earthly governments.

Look back in retrospect on almost six thousand years of human history! Freedom’s moments have been infrequent and exceptional. We must appreciate that we live in one of history’s most exceptional moments-in a nation and a time of unprecedented freedom. Freedom as we know it has been experienced by perhaps less than one percent of the human family.

The Proper Role of Government

The second basic principle concerns the function and proper role of government. These are the principles that, in my opinion, proclaim the proper role of government in the domestic affairs of the nation.

[I] believe that governments were instituted of God for the benefit of man; and that he holds men accountable for their acts in relation to them….

[I] believe that no government can exist in peace, except such laws are framed and held inviolate as will secure to each individual the free exercise of conscience, the right and control of property, and the protection of life….

[I] believe that all men are bound to sustain and uphold the respective governments in which they reside, while protected in their inherent and inalienable rights by the laws of such governments. [D&C 134:1-2, 5]

In other words, the most important single function of government is to secure the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.

The Source of Human Rights

The third important principle pertains to the source of basic human rights.  Rights are either God-given as part of the divine plan, or they are granted by government as part of the political plan. If we accept the premise that human rights are granted by government, then we must be willing to accept the corollary that they can be denied by government. I, for one, shall never accept that premise. We must ever keep in mind the inspired words of Thomas Jefferson, as found in the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…

THE CRISIS OF OUR CONSTITUTION

This, then, is the ingenious and inspired document created by these good and wise men for the benefit and blessing of future generations. It is now two hundred years since the Constitution was written. Have we been wise beneficiaries of the gift entrusted to us? Have we valued and protected the principles laid down by this great document?

At this bicentennial celebration we must, with sadness, say that we have not been wise in keeping the trust of our Founding Fathers. For the past two centuries, those who do not prize freedom have chipped away at every major clause of our Constitution until today we face a crisis of great dimensions.

The Prophecy of Joseph Smith

We are fast approaching that moment prophesied by Joseph Smith when he said:

Even this Nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground and when the constitution is upon the brink of ruin this people will be the Staff up[on] which the Nation shall lean and they shall bear the constitution away from the very verge of destruction. [In Howard and Martha Coray Notebook, July 19, 1840, quoted by Andrew F. Eliat and Lyndon W. Cook, comps. and eds., The Words of Joseph Smith (Provo, Utah: Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University, 1980), p. 416]

The Need to Prepare

Will we be prepared? Will we be among those who will “bear the Constitution away from the very verge of destruction”? If we desire to be numbered among those who will, here are some things we must do:

1. We must be righteous and moral. We must live the gospel principles-all of them. We have no right to expect a higher degree of morality from those who represent us than what we ourselves are. To live a higher law means we will not seek to receive what we have not earned by our own labor. It means we will remember that government owes us nothing. It means we will keep the laws of the land. It means we will look to God as our Lawgiver and the source of our liberty.

2. We must learn the principles of the Constitution and then abide by its precepts. Have we read the Constitution and pondered it? Are we aware of its principles? Could we defend it? Can we recognize when a law is constitutionally unsound? The Church will not tell us how to do this, but we are admonished to do it. I quote Abraham Lincoln:

Let [the Constitution] be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling-books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation. [Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln, ed. John G. Nicolay and John Hay, vol. I (New York: Francis D. Tandy Co., 1905), p. 43]

3. We must become involved in civic affairs. As citizens of this republic, we cannot do our duty and be idle spectators. It is vital that we follow this counsel from the Lord: “Honest men and wise men should be sought for diligently, and good men and wise men ye should observe to uphold; otherwise whatsoever is less than these cometh of evil” (D&C 98:10). Note the qualities that the Lord demands in those who are to represent us. They must be good, wise, and honest. We must be concerted in our desires and efforts to see men and women represent us who possess all three of these qualities.

4. We must make our influence felt by our vote, our letters, and our advice. We must be wisely informed and let others know how we feel. We must take part in local precinct meetings and select delegates who will truly represent our feelings.

I have faith that the Constitution will be saved as prophesied by Joseph Smith. But it will not be saved in Washington. It will be saved by the citizens of this nation who love and cherish freedom. It will be saved by enlightened members of this Church – men and women who will subscribe to and abide by the principles of the Constitution.

THE CONSTITUTION REQUIRES OUR LOYALTY AND SUPPORT

I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed his stamp of approval on the Constitution of this land. I testify that the God of heaven sent some of his choicest spirits to lay the foundation of this government, and he has sent other choice spirits-even you who hear my words this day-to preserve it.

We, the blessed beneficiaries, face difficult days in this beloved land, “a land which is choice above all other lands” (Ether 2:10). It may also cost us blood before we are through. It is my conviction, however, that when the Lord comes, the Stars and Stripes will be floating on the breeze over this people. May it be so, and may God give us the faith and the courage exhibited by those patriots who pledged their lives and fortunes that we might be free, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. By Ezra Taft Benson, On March 1, 2009. The Constitution: A Heavenly Banner

Not Always wise to Expose Evil …

Said Joseph, “Our lives have already become jeopardized by revealing the wicked and bloodthirsty purposes of our enemies; and for the future we must cease to do so.  All we have said about them is truth, but it is not always wise to relate all the truth.  Even Jesus, the Son of God, had to refrain from doing so, and had to restrain His feeling many times for the safety of Himself and His followers, and had to conceal the righteous purposes of His heart in relation to many things pertaining to His Father’s kingdom.  When still a boy He had all the intelligence necessary to enable Him to rule and govern the kingdom of the Jews, and could reason with the wisest and most profound doctors of law and divinity, and make their theories and practice to appear like folly compared with the wisdom He possessed; but He was a boy only, and lacked physical strength even to defend His own person; and was subject to cold, to hunger and to death.  So it is with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; we have the revelation of Jesus, and the knowledge within us is sufficient to organize a righteous government upon the earth, and to give universal peace to all mankind, if they would receive it, but we lack the physical strength, as did our Savior when a child, to defend our principles, and we have a necessity to be afflicted, persecuted and smitten, and to bear it patiently until Jacob is of age, then he will take care of himself.” Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith Thursday, a.m. June 27, 1844 The day he was martyred. Page 406

Joseph Smith said:

The Constitution is not a law, but it empowers the people to make laws… The Constitution tells us what shall not be a lawful tender… The legislature has ceded up to us the privilege of enacting such laws as are not inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States… The different states, and even Congress itself, have passed many laws diametrically contrary to the Constitution of the United States…

“Shall we be such fools as to be governed by its laws, which are unconstitutional? No! … The Constitution acknowledges that the people have all power not reserved to itself. I am a lawyer; I am a big lawyer and comprehend heaven, earth and hell, to bring forth knowledge that shall cover up all lawyers, doctors and other big bodies. This is the doctrine of the Constitution, so help me God. The Constitution is not law to us, but it makes provision for us whereby we can make laws. Where it provides that no one shall be hindered from worshiping God according to his own conscience, is a law. No legislature can enact a law to prohibit it. The Constitution provides to regulate bodies of men and not individuals.”
