Behold, A Royal Army

Here is a bright arrangement of "Behold, A Royal Army".

"[T]he city of Ammonihah had been...in part rebuilt; and because the Lamanites had destroyed it once because of the iniquity of the people, they supposed that it would again become an easy prey for them." (Alma 49:3) Satan knows our weaknesses. We know our weaknesses. We know we've fallen through at one time or another by one, or many, of our weak points in life; physical or spiritual. Pornography, laziness, depression & anxiety, faith struggles, faith in the power of repentance, faith in tithing, becoming or remaining worthy of a temple recommend, building and maintaining healthy relationships, eating challenges, faith in the prophets and apostles as divinely ordained and direct leaders of the Church. The list is endless...But the defeat in us isn't; not with Christ! Proverbs 4:13 says, " I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." (See also Alma 26:12, Ether 12:27) In Alma 48, (link at bottom) we can learn from Moroni's character. What an incredible man he was! Moroni stayed close to Christ and actively sought His guidance on the issues he had at hand in his life. From reading this, I found three simple steps we can take so that we, like Captain Moroni, can reach victory through Christ 1)Recognize our weaknesses Alma 48:7–9 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/alma/48?id=p7-p9&lang=eng#p7 2) Turn to Christ for help. Repent as needed, be open to be healed & ask for help and guidance Alma 48:15–16 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/alma/48?id=p15-p16&lang=eng#p15 3) Strengthen Stakes and enlarge borders. Alma 49-50 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/alma/49?lang=eng You and God know your weaknesses and where you can improve. Strengthen yourself spiritually. Pray, search the scriptures, keep the Commandments and you can be stronger, wiser, and more in tune with the spiritual guidance to protect you in all aspects of life. God is always ahead of Satan. God will give you direction ahead of the game. I know that when we trust in Christ, we can find victory over all obstacles!
