12/3/13 What is a "True Messenger"?

• Introduction:
• In the temple we hear about "true messengers" I want you to think about the following:
• Who are they besides apostles?
• What makes them true messengers?
• What does being a true messenger have to do with How to Begin Teaching?
• Analyze the Temple Sequence of being a true messenger:
• 1st Visit of the Messengers:
• They are there only to do what the Father has commanded them to do
• They survey the situation of those they are there to teach
• TREASURE UP INDIVIDUAL, BUILD TRUST, DISCERN WHERE THEY ARE IN THEIR CONVERSION PROCESS.
• Remove distractions 
• PROVE PERSONAL QUALIFICATION TO GOD
• They are patient and with the Holy Ghost creates a foretaste of Eternal Life
• GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S TO COME
• 2nd Visit of the Messengers:
• Establish their identity 
• ESTABLISH PURPOSE AND SERVANT OF THE LORD
• Create Environment
• CONVERSION ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE SPIRIT CAN TEACH
• Promise
• you will be lead in the ways of life and salvation. 
• Goal of a True Messenger
• Create an environment of conversion
• Guide the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve to hear the voice of the Father
• Teach only the words of the Father
• Open up the pyramid connection between God and Investigator
• Study:
• PMG p. 3,8,9,92,176,177
• What do you see differently after considering what a True Messenger is from the temple?
• How is the environment created? Look at each of the 3 relationships in the purpose triangle....
• What does this mean for us in our daily ministry? Life? MTC?
• How do you teach this simply without loosing spiritual power with the missionaries? 
• Practice: 
• Practice HTBT with your new knowledge of what you have learned
• Evaluation questions:
• Did you communicate the message of Father? Evidence?
• Was a conversion environment created where the spirit could teach? 
• Invitations:
• Find something you need to change or understand to better become a true messenger? 
• Implement an idea in the classroom to help your missionaries with HTBT?
• Go the the Temple soon!
