I can not recommend this more than I do right now. We need to build Zion. Ask the Lord what you can do to build this effort. I’m going to add some good quotes on the topic to this thread. #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim https://twitter.com/JPBellum/status/1286395366040940545
Where is Zion? Where the organization of the Church of God is. And may it dwell spiritually in every heart; and may we so live as to enjoy the spirit of Zion always! - Brigham Young #ChurchofJesusChrist #deznat #HearHim
The purpose of our life should be to build up the Zion of our God, to gather the House of Israel, bring in the fulness of the Gentiles, restore and bless the earth with our ability and make it as the Garden of Eden, 1/2

store up treasures of knowledge and wisdom in our own understandings, purify our own hearts and prepare a people to meet the Lord when he comes - Brigham Young 2/2 #ChurchofJesusChrist #deznat #HearHim
we have been commanded to gather ourselves together, to come out of Babylon, and sanctify ourselves, and build up the Zion of our God, 1/2 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
by building cities and temples, redeeming countries from the solitude of nature, until the earth is sanctified and prepared for the residence of God and angels - Brigham Young 2/2 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
Do we realize that if we enjoy a Zion in time or in eternity we must make it for ourselves? That all, who have a Zion in the eternities of the Gods, organized, framed, consolidated, 1/2 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
and perfected it themselves, and consequently are entitled to enjoy it? - Brigham Young 2/2 #ChurchofJesusChrist #deznat #HearHim
When we conclude to make a Zion we will make it, and this work commences in the heart of each person. When the father of a family wishes to make a Zion in his own house, he must take the lead in this good work, which it is impossible 1/2 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
for him to do unless he himself possesses the spirit of Zion. Before he can produce the work of sanctification in his family, he must sanctify himself, & by this means God can help him to sanctify his family - Brigham Young 2/2 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
The Lord has done his share of the work; he has surrounded us with elements containing wheat, meat, flax, wool, silk, fruit, and everything with which to build up, 1/3 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
beautify and glorify the Zion of the last days, and it is our business to mould these elements to our wants and necessities, according to the knowledge we now have and the wisdom we can obtain from the heavens through our faithfulness. 2/3 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
In this way will the Lord bring again Zion upon the earth, and in no other - Brigham Young 3/3 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
There is not one thing wanting in all the works of God’s hands to make a Zion upon the earth when the people conclude to make it. 1/3 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
We can make a Zion of God on earth at our pleasure, upon the same principle that we can raise a field of wheat, or build and inhabit. 2/3 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
There has been no time when the material has not been here from which to produce corn, wheat, etc, & by the judicious management and arrangement of this ever-existing material a Zion of God can always be built on the earth - Brigham Young 3/3 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
Everything connected with building up Zion requires actual, severe labor. It is nonsense to talk about building up any kingdom except by labor; 1/2
#ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
#ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
it requires the labor of every part of our organization, whether it be mental, physical, or spiritual, and that is the only way to build up the Kingdom of God - Brigham Young 2/2 #ChurchofJesusChrist #Deznat #HearHim
