8. Helaman 16:7-8
7 And as they went forth to lay their hands
on him, behold, he did cast himself down
from the wall, and did flee out of their
lands, yea, even unto his own country, and
began to preach and to prophesy among
his own people.
8 And behold, he was never heard of more
among the Nephites; and thus were the
affairs of the people.
9. 3 Nephi 1:2-3
And Nephi the son of Helaman, had departed out
of the land of Zarahemla, giving charge unto his
son Nephi, who was his eldest son, concerning the
plates of brass, and all the records which had been
kept, and all those things which had been kept
sacred from the departure of Lehi out of
Jerusalem.
Then he departed out of the land, and whither he
went, no man knoweth; and his son Nephi did
keep the records in his stead, yea, the record of
this people.
10. 3 Nephi 1:5-7
But there were some who began to say that the
time was past for the words to be fulfilled, which
were spoken by Samuel the Lamanite. And they
began to rejoice over their brethren saying, “Behold
the time is past and the words of Samuel are not
fulfilled; therefore, your joy and your faith
concerning this thing has been in vain. And it came
to pass that they did make a great uproar
throughout the land and the people who believed
began to be very sorrowful, lest by any means
those things which had been spoken might not
come to pass.
11. 3 Nephi 1:8
But behold, they did watch
steadfastly for that day
and that night and that day
which should be as one
day as if there were no
night that they might know
that their faith had not
been in vain.
12. 3 Nephi 1:9
Now it came to pass that there was
a day set apart by the unbelievers,
that all those who believed in those
traditions should be put to death
except the sign should come to
pass, which had been given by
Samuel the prophet.
15. 3 Nephi 1:15-17
And it came to pass that the words
which came unto Nephi were fulfilled,
according as they had been spoken;
for behold, at the going down of the
sun there was no darkness; and the
people began to be astonished
because there was no darkness when
the night came. And they began to
know that the Son of God must shortly
appear; yea, in fine, all the people
upon the face of the whole earth from
the west to the east both in the land
land north and in the land south, were
so exceedingly astonished that they
fell to the earth.
16. 3 Nephi 1: 26
“And thus the ninety and second
year did pass away, bringing glad
tidings unto the people because
of the signs which did come to
pass, according to the words of
the prophecy of all the holy
prophets.”
17. 3 Nephi 2:1
And it came to pass that thus passed away
the ninety and fifth year also, and the people
began to forget those signs and wonders
which they had heard, and began to be less
and less astonished at a sign or a wonder
from heaven, insomuch that they began to
be hard in their hearts, and blind in their
minds, and began to disbelieve all which
they had heard and seen—
18. 3 Nephi 2:11
And it came to pass in the
thirteenth year there began to
be wars and contentions
throughout all the land; for the
Gadianton robbers had
become so numerous and did
slay so many of the people,
and did spread so much death
and carnage throughout the
land that it became expedient
that all the people, both the
Nephites and the Lamanites
should take up arms against
them.
19. 3 Nephi 3:6-8
Therefore I write unto you, desiring that ye would yield up unto
this my people, your cities, your lands, and your possessions,
rather than that they should visit you with the sword and that
destruction should come upon you.
Or in other words, yield yourselves up unto us, and unite with
us and become acquainted with our secret works, and become
our brethren that ye may be like unto us—not our slaves, but
our brethren and partners of all our substance.
And behold, I swear unto you, if ye will do this, with an oath, ye
shall not be destroyed; but if ye will not do this, I swear unto
you with an oath, that on the morrow month I will command
that my armies shall come down against you, and they shall
not stay their hand and shall spare not, but shall slay you, and
shall let fall the sword upon you even until ye shall become
extinct.
20. 6 ways to defend
against temptation
Scripture Defense
3 Nephi 3:12 Do not fear man
21. Do not fear man
“The fear of man lays
a snare but whoever
trusts in the Lord is
safe.” Proverbs 29:25
How might fear cause
someone to give in to
temptation?
22. Idolatry. When we care about what man thinks more than what God
thinks, we turn people into idols that we worship—seeking to please them in
order to earn their approval or respect.
Apathy. Fear man and you’ll quit taking risks because of the potential for
embarrassment or failure. If an endeavor is unlikely to succeed, you’ll never
take the chance. In other words, you’ll never do much of anything.
Dishonesty. It’s tough to speak truth into someone’s life because the
truth can be painful. If we fear somebody’s response, however, necessary
words will remain unsaid because we care more about ourselves being liked
than we do about keeping the commandments or speaking the words of God.
Decision Paralysis. When we live out of fear rather than out of
the convictions God has given us, we spin in circles unable to move forward .

24. Phillip Brooks
O, do not pray for easy
lives. Pray to be stronger
men! Do not pray for
tasks equal to your
powers. Pray for powers
equal to your tasks! Then
the doing of your work
shall be no miracle. But
you shall be the miracle.
"Going up to Jerusalem", Twenty Sermons
(1886), p. 330.

of the Bridegroom—For
behold, verily, verily, I
say unto you, that I
come quickly”
(D&C 33:17–18).
Editor's Notes
Our Father in heaven does the same thing to you and to me that I used to do to my father’s guitar. He allows our lives to play out and throughout the process trials, temptation, and tribulations come along, each of which turn the screws and wrench the stings of our hearts a little bit tighter. And on occasion this process continues until we are certain that we cannot take anymore and that the very next temptation or trial will cause us to snap and to break. But to our Father in Heaven this is not a game…..
You can hear the mocking tone of the people and I am trying with my family to hold on to my faith and it is being stretched tighter and tighter as first friends and then family begin to give up and join the unbelievers.
What do you think we would have done as a family sitting on our front porch watching sunset. Maybe today we would say as we watched the sun disappear behind the mountains and then the darkness would settle in. Maybe tomorrow we would say. And then the next day we would watch as the sun set and the darkness came. I believe that all of us in this room know what it is like to have hopes raised and dashed and raised and dashed? With every setting sun it seems like the strings of the heart would be tightened.
While none of us has ever had our life threatened because of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ we all know what it is like to have our faith stretched to the breaking point. We have had bills we can’t pay, children who wander, friends and loved ones pass away, and serious illness that won’t quit. When you have been at this point, when your faith has been stretched to the limit, what has kept you from giving up and joining the unbelievers?
Imagine this time. The sun is setting, the moon has risen and instead of getting darker it is getting lighter, as light as noonday. If you listen carefully you can hear that sound. It is the sound of rejoicing, of weeping, the sound of people falling to their knees, of song, of faith being stretched to the breaking point and then finally being released.
