Word study for clear

1828 dictionary: Open clear from obstruction; as a clear plat of ground; the  way is clear

Free from clouds, or fog; as a clear day.

I like how it says free from clouds because sometimes our mind can be clouded and we have to clear it.  

Jacob 5:65

"And as they begin to grow ye shall clear away the branches which bring forth bitter fruit, according to the strength of the good and the size thereof all at once, lest the roots thereof should be too strong for the graft, and the graft thereof shall perish, and I lose the trees of my vinyard."

I think we need to clear away the bad things in our life so we can have a clear mind.

My thoughts on clear

In order to have a clear mind we must purify our selfs, repent and forgive. Starting with a prayer in my study's helps me have a clear mind.

Knowledge word study

Key words: facts, information and reasoning.

I think in order to have true knowledge we need to have the Spirit guide us in our decisions we should never cease to add to our knowledge. We should use our knowledge of others to help them.

Word study leader

1828 dictionary: "a chief; commander; a captain. One who goes first."

I think in order to be a good leader you need to earn trust and love. We canot be a selfish leader or people will turn from you. Jesus is a perfect example of a leader. You need to make good desisions cause oft times people look up to you. You should never be mean to any one who looks up to you or you will lose their trust. We should not love our influence over others and we should use it for good.

Notes on Seeing with new eyes by Paul A. Cox

We need to notice good things so be alert, and open. We can over come temptations by holding fast to the word of God. Christ and Heavenly Father can open our eyes to things we did not see before. Though some people do good without beleaving the gospel  they miss "a more exelent way". We should never mistake a little truth to be an entire truth.

Wait upon the Lord. Waiting requires patience.

Seek for the beautiful.

Seek the truly beautiful things not things that are fakely beautiful.

We can have science and God.

Science has the great ability to answer how but not so much why.

Decide word study

1828 definition:

DECI'DE, verb intransitive To determine; to form a definite opinion; to come to a conclusion.

We cannot decide how far resistance is lawful or practicable.

The court decided in favor of the defendant.

That's cool cause it kinda tells us how deciding is so important. If we don't decide on something than we'll never come to a conclusion.

Jim Staley video notes: Judging, that goes with decision. Tet means decision, like choice between good and evil. If you don't let go of your anger it will destroy you.

Other study: Heavenly Father expects us to use our knowledge, experiments, and faith to guide our own decisions.                   Counsel with the Lord in all our doings. If we are not sure what the right decision is pray!

Good, better, best. Dallin H. Oaks: Just because some thing is good is not a sufficient reason for doing it. The things better than good are what we should focas on. Don't be in to much extra curricular activity.

How will focas help me make the right decisions? Cause if we really focas on something it should come clear what the right thing to do is!

Armor of God Nov week 3

Find something in your life that you want to change. Teasing. 
As you take read the chapter, take note of what you need to do to help you make this change. Find something spiritual to replace it. If I tease confess it.
What does it have to do with remembrance? We need to remember to put Christ and Heavenly Father in the center of our lives so we can repent more easily. 

Word study on remember.

The biblical concept of remembrance:

We need to remember Christ in all things.

We need to remember his commandments. 

1828 definition.  

1. To have in the mind an idea which had been in the mind before, and which recurs to the mind without effort.

We are said to remember any thing, when the idea of it arises in the mind with the consciousness that we have had this idea before.

We should remember our good things we have been taght.

The Holy Ghost can help is remember the Savior. 

Notes on To always remember him (elder D. Todd Christopherson.)

We should strip everything out of our lives and put it back together with the Savior as the priority. Frequent prayer and scripture study help us remember Christ. Remembering the judgement day to come can help us make right choices.

Just cause we have forgotten something in the past does not make it gone
