Our safety lies in repentance. Our strength comes of obedience to the commandments of God.

Fighting for Freedom
In the Book of Mormon, we have many wonderful examples of soldiers who fought for their freedoms, their lands, their families and for all things which are righteous and good. Captain Moroni is one of those. He was an incredible man who fought for his God.
The scriptures record in Alma 48:17 “Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.” I typically think of his great courage to eradicate the untruths and evils of his day but he displayed much more than just courage.
Verse 18 of the same scripture says “Behold, he was a man like unto Ammon, the son of Mosiah, yea, and also Alma and his sons, for they were all men of God.” Here is a handful of men now who were soldiers of faith in their day. They sought out truth and righteousness and weren’t afraid to do all things in their power to build up the kingdom of God.
Verse 19 says “Now behold, Helaman and his brethren were no less serviceable unto the people than was Moroni; for they did preach the word of God, and they did baptize unto repentance all men whosoever would hearken unto their words.”
Great Men
As I think about the greatness of these men, I grow a little emotional. We too have great men and women of faith who are forging the way of righteousness, who are walking in the footsteps of Moroni and his companions. Exemplary men and women are now raising their families in the paths of truth and virtue.
They are serving in the church faithfully. They are meeting the needs of those around them They are sharing their time and talents in the building up of the kingdom of God.
There are young men and young women around the world who carry the mantle of authority to preach and baptize, who aren’t afraid to stand up for what is right and fight for good with the strength of their testimony. These amazing people wear a small badge near their heart that bears the holy name of Jesus Christ. These soldiers of faith receive their training and go out in their regiments on rescue missions across the globe. Never in the history of the world, has there been so many righteous soldiers spread through the entire world.
His Rock
President Eyring recently commented, “The Lord told His leaders of the Restoration, and He tells us, that when we stand with faith upon His rock, doubt and fear are diminished; the desire to do good increases. As we accept President Monson’s invitation to plant in our hearts a testimony of Jesus Christ, we gain the power, the desire, and the courage to go to the rescue of others without concern for our own needs.”1 This explanation perfectly describes a soldier of faith.
When I was at the Provo Missionary Training Center, the Church was celebrating the sesquicentennial anniversary of the pioneers’ arrival in the Salt Lake valley. All of us in the MTC had the unique and wonderful opportunity to leave the grounds and go to the BYU Stadium as surprise performers in the special musical performance. We joined the choirs inside, running onto the field as we sang “Called to Serve and “Faith in Every Footstep” with all the energy of our hearts. This was a moment I will never forget. As I looked out into the crowd, I saw tear- filled eyes and hands clasped over hearts. We were united in the great spirit of the Lord that touched us all. As we missionaries walked back to the grounds of the MTC, our voices joined together in “We’ll Bring the World His Truth.” In that moment, we were literally an army of Helaman, a sea of representatives of the Savior and very literally soldiers of faith. What a beautiful and unforgettable moment that I was blessed to experience.
Walk as Soldiers of Faith
Wherever we are, if we walk with the Lord, we walk as soldiers of faith, forging our paths and leaving a legacy of righteousness in our wake. May we carry on in this great work.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor AGBON to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor AGBON, WhatsApp Number :+2349058797761

I recently recovered 260,870 Crypt0currency that had been stolen from me in an investment scam. After months of effort I worked with a cybersecurity specialist, Brunoe Quick Hack, and law-enforcement partners. Together we traced the transactions, secured evidence, and executed a lawful recovery strategy that returned the funds.
This experience taught me three things: act quickly, preserve all records, and work only with verified recovery professionals and authorities. If you’ve been scammed, document everything and contact both reputable cyber-recovery experts. Ema-ill>>BrunoeQuickHack (at) Gmail.com >>Whats-APP +(1)-70578-42635….
