When Joseph Smith dedicated the Kirtland Temple, he said the first word that came to his mind was "Thanks". But why? He and the Saints had built the temple through "great tribulation" and "out of our poverty". This act of faith, however, was about to unlock a cascade of blessings that would change the world forever.

Summary: Join us as we dive deep into the dedicatory prayer of the Kirtland Temple (D&C 109) and the incredible heavenly visitations that followed (D&C 110). This isn't just a historical event; it's a blueprint for spiritual growth and power in our own lives.

In this video, we'll explore: How the temple is a place of God's holiness, where all who enter can "feel thy power" and "grow up in thee." The incredible promise of being "restored to the blessings" when we "speedily repent and return" to the Lord. What it means to be "clothed upon with robes of righteousness" and "armed with thy power" as we go forth to share the gospel. The profound moment when the Lord appeared and manifested Himself "in mercy." The powerful restoration of the "keys of this dispensation" by Moses, Elias, and Elijah, which unlocked the gathering of Israel, the Gospel of Abraham, and the sealing power. The Kirtland Temple dedication was just "the beginning of the blessing". Discover how these restored keys and blessings continue to roll forth "in great power and majesty" to fill the whole earth.
