"What you are is what you have done with the WHY you are."
-Raymond Charles Barker.
Why am I doing Isagenix? I do it because it has made me feel better and more alive than I have every felt in my life!! Why do I want to sell or share Isagenix? Because everyone can benefit from it!! It has so many good things to it!! I feel I need to! It is helping me to change into the person I want to be. It is helping me gain new friends, get out of my comfort zone and experience things I never thought I would do. I want to inspire people I want to have people I can count on and let them know they can count on me! I want to help people live a healthier lifestyle or boost their healthy lifestyle. With the Lord all things are possible. I need to do this!! I have to support my family and grow mentally, physically, and spiritually. If I can just have the spirit with me I can do this!
Reading Jacob chapter 4 I need to take counsel from the Lord. Do not search "beyond the mark" it will just be confusing and we could not understand it at this time. Seek not what man wants, seek the Kingdom of Heaven.
- •Jacob’s writings provide us with an important insight into the law ofMoses and the Old Testament. In Jacob 4:5 we learn that the Old Testament prophets prior to Jacob’s time knew of both Christ and the Father as distinct individuals and appropriately worshipped the Father in Christ’s name. Jacob’s words indicate that the law of Moses was far more than simply a law of strict commandments and legal codes, as some modern scholars claim. The law of Moses testified of Jesus Christ and led the righteous to sanctification through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Jacob 4:5. Worship the Father in the Name of Jesus Christ
- •President Marion G. Romney (1897–1988) of the First Presidency explained what it meant to “counsel the Lord”: “Now I do not think that many members of the Church consciously urge the persuasions of men
- or their own counsel instead of heeding the Lord’s. However, when we do not keep ourselves advised as to what the counsel of the Lord is, we are prone to substitute our own counsel for His. As a matter of fact, there is nothing else we can do but follow our own counsel when we do not know the Lord’s instructions” (
“Seek Not to Counsel the Lord,”Ensign, Aug. 1985, 5). - •While serving in the Seventy, Elder Dean L. Larsen explained that the Israelites in ancient times “got themselves into great difficulty” because they “placed themselves in serious jeopardy in spiritual things because they were unwilling to accept simple, basic principles of truth. They entertained and intrigued themselves with ‘things that they could not understand’ (Jacob 4:14). They were apparently afflicted with a pseudosophistication and a snobbishness that gave them a false sense of superiority over those who came among them with the Lord’s words of plainness. They went beyond the mark of wisdom and prudence, and obviously failed to stay within the circle of fundamental gospel truths, which provide a basis for faith. They must have reveled in speculative and theoretical matters that obscured for them the fundamental spiritual truths. As they became infatuated by these ‘things that they could not understand,’ their comprehension of and faith in the redeeming role of a true Messiah was lost, and the purpose of life became confused. A study of Israel’s history will confirm Jacob’s allegations” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1987, 11–12; or
Ensign, Nov. 1987, 11). - •Elder Neal A. Maxwell explained how “looking beyond the mark” can be avoided today: “This incredible blindness which led to the rejectionof those truths spoken by prophets and which prevented the recognition of Jesus for who he was, according to Jacob, came ‘by looking beyond the mark.’ Those who look beyond plainness, beyond the prophets, beyond Christ, and beyond his simple teachings waited in vain then, as they will wait in vain now. For only the gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us of things as they really are and as they really will be” (“On Being a Light” [address delivered at the Salt Lake Institute of Religion, Jan. 2, 1974], 1).
