True strength resides in the soul of someone who faces adversity and does not run away. Life can be hard and requires courage of wise people. Courage is a mental quality. We all have it, even if it is not obvious at first. Psychological courage can set the foundation for the rest of our lives. God gives us the ability to possess an uncommonly potent soul and gain highly formidable abilities as a result of the soul’s power. Prayer gives of the equivalent to the power of many souls which comes in handy in situations that test one’s spiritual fortitude and grants spiritual abilities. When we place our faith in God, our soul is unable to be bound by anything and lives free without being held by back another force on Earth. When we increase our faith it God, this strengthens our soul and gives us the power to possess massive levels of life energy. Growth allows us to become stronger and also allows us to become more aware of our abilities, wisdom, and intuition. When we become more aware of our beneficial characteristics, we create mentally strong habits that allow us to view life with more optimism, grace, and thoughtfulness. Our greatness resides within our ability to recover. Now the strong soul, having adjusted itself in these hours of patience, may use its meticulously garnered power to build assets, which include a healthier body and mind, more accomplishments to our names, self-reliance, and more credibility. There will be reward given by God for our efforts of enduring and being faithful. #RandolphHarris 1 of 7

Those who never give up on God and keep in mind God will never gave up  on them, the Lord will help them in their time of need. Spiritual substances and material things can interact because God represents both and connects them. Human perceptions are an effect of God’s real vision. Spiritual and material things are both real because God represents them; material things are real in a further sense, as phaenomena substantiata, insofar as God represents them as real. This divine representation is the cause of the real existence.  The soul knows more than the person knows, and is wiser than the individual. Becoming truly self-aware and conscious is dependent upon our ability to listen and to gain the intelligent wisdom of our own body, mind, and soul. They will help to inform us about our true nature, so that we can consistently improve our internal coherence and strengthen our moral character. One may elect to be a useful soul, a strong soul, a good soul, a beautiful one, a truthful soul. To occupy all the chambers is to be well balanced and fitted to love. Authentic spirituality empowers us to bring the light of the Spirit into darkness and retain direction and truth in the face of confusion. “Let the light so shine that they see good works and God your father,” reports 3 Nephi 12.16. Spiritual power emerges from embracing our soul and taking ownership of its power. However, we live at a time when people do not know, let alone nurture, their spiritual life and nature, but also remain unaware of their soul or deny its existence entirely. #RandolphHarris 2 of 7

Many people who do not know their spirit, may attend and be absorbed by their intellectual purists, their emotional life, or basic survival drives. They may not recognize the blessings  God has in store for them. Our spirit enables us to acquire inner peace, genuine love, and real meaning—as well the gifts of the spirit. Spirituality transforms us by allowing us to participate in that which is sacred—that which is holy. We are designed to experience the divine. “Course of the Lord is one eternal round,” reports 1 Nephi 10.19. All of humanities powers are derived directly from God. We are not incurably maimed by sin. Our nature is perfected, not taken away by the grace of God (gratia non tollit naturam, sed perfecit). When we connect to God, the growth of our soul leads us to fulfillment through awareness and conviction. In holiness we participate in the good, the truth, the absolute; we take part in the awesome mystery of God’s force. Holiness is distinct from simple good feelings and virtues; in holiness, as a contract with God, we are transformed by participation in the Lord’s presence. “And it is requisite with the justice of God that people should be judged according to their works; and if their works were good in this life, and the desires of their hearts were good, they should also, at the last day, be restored unto that which is good,” reports Alma 31.3. #RandolphHarris 3 of 7

The cause of fear is a lack of knowledge. Therefore, knowledge is the antidote to fear. God is the direct source of all knowledge. The stars, the cosmos, our solar system and all the planets, nature, the human soul, all come from the divine. In 2015, a study was published that found 58 percent of patients reported significant interest in discussion spirituality with their clinicians. Such discussion can be medically useful, as they help patients to engage more in the treatment process. Further, in another reports, belief in God was associated with a significant reduction in depressive symptoms during treatment. Sometimes stresses and life bring us closer to God because it seems that no one can help. When we focus on God, daily, our stresses slowly decline, and with more of a focus, we may manifest God in our lives and be delivered from the situations that we consider unpleasant. Sometimes it seems some people do not have support and ask for help, and do not get it or it is very slow coming, so they turn to God to give them the patience to endure the situation and look forward to it being resolved. Many people think that society is so open and that people are so willing to help, but that is not always true. That is why religion teaches us that we need to depend on God, and not people. The idea with manifestation is that we attract what we focus on, so if we focus on God everyday and do our best to be righteous, our situations should totally improve. #RandolphHarris 4 of 7

Patience may be exercised as a virtue, and is then the result of will, and not an emotion. As such it is an ornament of the Christian, and assumes the character of an entire resignation of our own will in misfortune, and a readiness to leave all with God; or it is the resignation we feel, when we must suffer wrong, and cannot obtain justice; we then prefer suffer to doing wrong. A different species of resignation, not in any way a virtue, is sometimes manifested by warriors, who seeing themselves surrounded by a host of enemies, throw away their weapons, speak not, move not, ask for no favor, but suffer themselves to be hewn down, or take captive. “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose,” reports Romans 8.28. Such resignation is an expression of pride, a Godly fortitude. This is an emotion, that arises either from our relation to the supernatural or to the natural. “If we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts know the mind of Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will,” reports Romans 8.25-27. If we are faithful, the same sociality which we enjoy here in this life will be forever with us in the World to come, in eternal glory. #RandolphHarris 5 of 7

When we believe that God is just and holy, that nothing sinful can endure his presence, the feeling connected with this belief will be a religious awe; when we are convinced that the divine will is sacred and inviolable and that all duties are impose upon us by it, the feeling will be a moral one. To set before human’s eyes the mutual relation between protection and obedience, of which the condition of human nature, and the laws of the divine require an inviolable observation. This relation requires the absolute submission of each individual to the dictates of an arbitrary sovereign, of that great Leviathan, or rather (to speak more reverently) of that Immortal God, to which we owe our peace and defense. “And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8.30-31).” The soul enters the World in a state of involution, and its destiny is to unfold and manifest what it contains. Whenever one great manifestation has been made we learn good works, and to be meek and gentle in heart; for this allows us to find rest in our souls. We are given to understand that there will be no disobedience in the celestial kingdom. It is therefore vitally important that we keep the commandments with exactness and not just almost. #RandolphHarris 6 of 7

Being led by the Spirit is vitally important because this is the Lord’s World and he runs it. We must have the Spirit of the Lord or we will not know how to perform. Therefore, faith in a real sense is power—power to act and perform without actual knowledge. The Lord’s formula for receiving the Spirit, then, is to get on our knees and communicate with him. Tell the Lord what we are going to do—make commitments with him—outline our program—and then get up off our knees and go and do precisely what we have told God we would do. In the doing, the Spirit comes. Surely, in action, the Spirit comes as the Lord has promised. The Lord knows we will make mistakes. That is why Savior suffered for our sins. The Lord wants us to get back on our feet and strive to do better. There is joy in the presence of the Angels of God over one sinner who repents. To all who inhabit this beautiful Earth, God lives. The ordinances which are in the scriptures posses the blessings of the sealing power’s reach into the spirit World. It is the sealing power and our knowledge of it which changes and transforms our family life here and our expectations for the joy of family life in the World to come. The thought and the hope that we can have eternal relationships carries us through the trials of separation and the loneliness which are part of mortal existence. That assurance changes forever and for the better of all our associations in families. #RandolphHarris 7 of 7
