The True definition of agency is simply: The ability to do good.
It is a fruit of the Lord’s atonement. There is nothing negative about it. Everyone has Choice, even the adversary, for he chooses how to carry out his purposes. He wanted no agency, therefore he denied himself that privilege. We all get what we want. Let us all be better agents with our agency, to act, and not be acted upon.
Mercy, Grace, and Agency
“We cannot earn our blessings, simply because we are not able to do anything good without Jesus Christ. His blessings come after we do our part, yes, but it is only by His grace in the first place, that we can do these things.
First, His mercy stops our downward fall, offering us the gift of repentance, which is another fruit of the atonement. Then, His Grace, our great enabler, gives us the ability to do good and move forward. Truly then, everything good comes from God and Christ.
Finally, when at the judgement bar, after all our very best efforts, coupled and performed with Christ’s grace, it is still not enough. We are then only blessed and saved by the grace of Jesus Christ, as we are accepted of our Father, as Jesus Christ pleads our case before Him.” Hence the prophetic quote, “…we are saved by grace, after all we can do.”
Being Prepared – Self, vs. God Reliance
“All blessings, temporal, spiritual, emotional, mental, intellectual, social, physical, and financial, come from God. Acknowledgement of Him in all these things is of utmost importance. For as we exercise the truth of gratitude in our relationship with Him, our lives will improve, and our blessings will flow. We must not forget to rely wholly on Him, in the pretense of being “self-reliant,” for all good things come from Him, and not from ourselves.”
Earth, Time, & Good vs. Evil
“Our mother earth was created to save and exalt mankind. She is our foundation. Her battles against sin, war, and pollution, are as real as ours. Her works and fruits, are a testament of her love and praise for us, and God. Praise be to our God and our Mother Earth, Eden, and all our Lord’s creations upon her, for were it not for these, we, nor the atonement, nor the plan of happiness, could ever be brought to pass. Praise be to our Father God, and Savior Jesus Christ, for organizing this most marvelous plan of exaltation. For their loving grand design, upon our mother earth, and of having father time as the great separator, and Jesus Christ as our Holy Savior, within the safety of our wonderous probationary journey.”
The Worth of Souls, Eternal life, and Exaltation
“You are of unprecedented worth and value! Your life doesn’t just matter, you are central to God our Father’s plans, works, designs, and blessings for His children, and righteous purposes. Your eternal life, exaltation, families, and glory are more majestic, resplendent, dynamic, and wondrous, than you can even possibly imagine! You will be like God, living His lifestyle! How unspeakable shall be your blessings!”
Personal Revelation
“The three P’s of Revelation: Preparation, Pondering, and Prayer. Be spiritually ready to receive revelation, by living the Lord’s commandments. Allow quiet moments for the Gift of the Holy Ghost to work on, and qualify your heart and mind to be ready to receive your answers. Then, specifically ask for the things you need, and the answers to your soul. The Lord will bless you, and answer you in the way and timing, and in the right way for you.”
Symbolism vs. Symbols – To Teach The Ready
While it is true that symbols can help teach people things according to their readiness, it is also true that symbols, although meant to teach the truth using symbolism, it is also true that at the very center, core, and reality of these truths, which are given symbolically, is the very, actual, and literal truth.
