Self Sufficiency is Rejecting Jesus. Revelation 3:17 “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.”

In virtually every book written by OT prophets just before the fall of Judah and Israel, God warned the Israelites to repent of their self-sufficient attitudes. No one responded to the call. God even warned them to change their ways through the prophet Isaiah, but they’d have nothing to do with it – Isaiah 2:11. Share with the Mormon how important it is for us to be humble before the Lord. Being self-sufficient spiritually is akin to tossing God aside! God hasn’t granted self-sufficiency to anyone. If we were to be spiritually self-sufficient, then why did God send His Son and His Holy Spirit?

“Christlike Attributes—the Wind beneath Our Wings” “As we strive to understand, internalize, and live correct gospel principles, we will become more spiritually self-reliant. The principle of spiritual self-reliance grows out of a fundamental doctrine of the Church that God has granted us—agency.” — Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Happy Good Friday Y’all,
Well General Conference 2020 proved once AGAIN just how much the LDS church relies on its selfish self reliance. I guess I was kinda hoping to hear the “one true prophet” say they have plans in place as we speak, to get the much needed medical equipment like ventilators and other medical supplies out to the world. But sadly, NO… fast and pray today and wave a hankie. They could help so much with the 100s of billions of dollars they are sitting on.
