A very historic and sacred event in history was commemorated this weekend. In June 1978 the Priesthood was extended to “every worthy male” member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I remember that prophetic day. I would have been 12 years old. My mother picked me up from school and told me that it had just been announced that day that “all worthy male” members of the church could be ordained to the Priesthood. I specifically thought of the large congregations of faithful Latter-day Saint members in Africa who had been praying fervently for this day. I remember feeling goosebumps from head to toe. I knew that I was now a living witness of this life-changing event.
I add my witness. I firmly believe this was a revelation coming directly from Jesus Christ to His living prophet on earth, at that time Spencer W. Kimball. President Kimball then declared these prophetic words to every child of God upon the earth. I felt the Holy Spirit confirm this to my soul. It was a day of miracles that I will never forget.
Heaven opened every door, and calls for all to enter in.
I rejoice in the beauty of the Gospel.
We are united in our diversity and strength as brothers and sisters!

I am a Child of God, and He has Sent me Here, Has given me an earthly home, with parents Kind and Dear” – Hymn 301
One of the most important core beliefs of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that each human being is a child of God. We lived as a spirit son or daughter with our Heavenly Father before this life, and we will return to live with Him after this life. (more…)
