Power Phrase

President Russell M. Nelson

"Rejoice in the Gift of Priesthood Keys"

April 2024 General Conference

Each of the following phrases is found in President Nelson's April 2024 General Conference talk:

Priesthood keys give us the authority to extend all of the blessings promised to Abraham to every covenant-keeping man and woman. 

Temple work makes these exquisite blessings available to all of God’s children, regardless of where or when they lived or now live.

The sealing power is supernal evidence of how much God loves all of His children everywhere and wants each of them to choose to return home to Him.

Priesthood keys restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith make it possible for every covenant-keeping man and woman to enjoy incredible personal spiritual privileges.

...the temple spiritually empowers you and me to meet the challenges of life in these last days.

...the temple is “a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God.”

[D&C 109] is a promise about what will happen to those who serve and worship in the house of the Lord. 

They can expect to receive answers to prayer, personal revelation, greater faith, strength, comfort, increased knowledge, and increased power.

Time in the temple will help you to think celestial and to catch a vision of who you really are, who you can become, and the kind of life you can have forever. 

Regular temple worship will enhance the way you see yourself and how you fit into God’s magnificent plan

...in the temple we may “receive a fulness of the Holy Ghost.”

...all who worship in the temple will have the power of God and angels having “charge over them.” 

How much does it increase your confidence to know that, as an endowed woman or man armed with the power of God, you do not have to face life alone? 

What courage does it give you to know that angels really will help you?

...“no combination of wickedness” will prevail over those who worship in the house of the Lord.

Understanding the spiritual privileges made possible in the temple is vital to each of us today.

Nothing will help you more to hold fast to the iron rod than worshipping in the temple as regularly as your circumstances permit. 

Nothing will protect you more as you encounter the world’s mists of darkness. 

Nothing will bolster your testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement or help you understand God’s magnificent plan more. 

Nothing will soothe your spirit more during times of pain. 

Nothing will open the heavens more. Nothing!

The temple is the gateway to the greatest blessings God has in store for each of us...

... the temple is the only place on earth where we may receive all of the blessings promised to Abraham.
