President Nelson Conference Message

“Overcome the World and Find Rest,” October 2022

1. Wonderful days are ahead. In coming days, we will see the greatest manifestations of the Savior’s power that the world has ever seen.
2. Between now and the time He returns with “power and great glory,” He will bestow countless privileges, blessings and miracles upon the faithful.
3. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest!
4. Making and keeping covenants makes life secure.
5. The reward for making and keeping covenants is heavenly power, power that strengthens us to withstand our trial, temptations and heartaches.
6. The Savior overcame the world and entreated each of us to do the same. As you truly repent and seek His help, you too can rise above this present precarious world.
7. Overcoming this world means overcoming the temptation to care more about the things of this world, than the things of God, giving away our favorite sins. Your resistance to sin will increase, and you will grow to love God and Christ more than you love anyone or anything else.
8. We overcome the world by yielding to the enticing of the Holy Spirit.
9. Overcoming the world does not happen in a day or two. It happens over a lifetime of living the doctrine of Christ.
10. As we live the higher laws of Christ, the Savior lifts us above the pull of this fallen world to find true happiness.
11. Power, possessions, popularity and pleasures of the flesh are not true happiness.
12. Christ alone has the power to lift you above the pull of this fallen world through keeping covenants.
13. Making covenants with Christ does not make life easy, but it brings power, the power of Christ.
14. Pres. Benson: God can make more out of our lives than we can.
15. Take charge of your own testimony. Nurture it by finding the truth. Don’t pollute it with false philosophies of men.
16. As you make strengthening your testimony your highest priority, watch for miracles to happen in your life.
17. His plan: Find rest by overcoming the world, then keeping covenants, asking God to
18. Each day, record the impressions that come as you pray.
19. Follow diligently the instructions you receive in prayer.
20. Spend more time in the temple which teaches you how to rise above this fallen world.
21. The Gathering of Israel is the most important work today.
22. Part of gathering Israel is establishing Zion.
23. As you let God prevail in your life, you will overcome this world and find rest by drawing upon His power.
24. The prophet blessed all of us to care more about the things of God than the things of this world, and to bless others you love.
25. Because Christ overcame the world, we can also.
