3/9/23 Institute Notes

Women with an issue of blood. Band of blue, tassels- reminder of covenants

Jesus is also making her new status as clean also. 

12 years with no resolution.

Focus on the situation at hand and don't anticipate the future pain.  

Yet prepare for the future.

God is in control. Let Him do His work.

Fear unreported sin but otherwise if keeping covenants and repenting, have faith and courage.

The crowd was not permitted to be at the sacred event of the healing of the daughter of Jarius. Same thing in the temple. Faith in the ordinances. Belief that they are true and that the consequences will happen.

President Howard W. Hunter: "Whatever Jesus lays His hands upon lives."

"If we are to follow in the footsteps of the master, would we ever ignore the needs of our fellow men."

President Nelson: Knew President and Sister Kimball inside and out. Unfortunately ill with high fevers. Woke up feeling need to go to meeting. Fevers had gone away. Opening prayer had been that they would attend. 

Try addressing the situation in a different way. He saw the faith of the friends who carried the man sick with the palsy. 

You need to have confidence and be comfortable with being different. The confidence comes through faith in Jesus Christ and covenant keeping.

The Savior needed rest. He had a place to rest. We also need to rest and create environments where there can be spiritual renewal. A place to commune with God.

Goal is to not just be active but to be a consecrated disciple of Jesus Christ. I can not on my own. With God all things are possible. Don't forget to ask God. 

"Whom say ye that I am?"
