Lo Here, and Lo There
“I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong, and the personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in His sight: that those professors were all corrupt; He said: They draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; they teach for doctrines the commandments of men: having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.” -Avahr 6:33-36
When Joseph Smith Jr. walked into the grove to pray, after reading James 1:5, he had a miraculous experience. We do not know exactly what occurred, but we do know that he had a revelation. The different versions of this vision or revelation may be studied in Appendix 1 of the Book of Avahr. The thing they all have in common is that he was told not to join any of the denominations he had explored. Why not? And does this revelation mean that all churches were evil? And if they were, are they still today?
Turning Inward to Serve Outward
In Mormon Kabbalah, your relationship with God is very personal. No one else can create it for you. It cannot be inherited, borrowed, or performed outwardly without inward reality. True religion begins when you choose to turn your heart toward God.
The Role of the Teacher in the School of the Prophets
In the School of the Prophets, the role of a Teacher may feel very different from what many people are used to in traditional religious settings. Instead of focusing on strict rules or telling people exactly what to believe, the Teacher helps guide others in learning how to seek God for themselves.
The Seven Steps of Mormon Kabbalah
Mormon Kabbalah offers a simple but profound pattern, a series of spiritual steps that describe how the soul transforms, grows, and participates in God’s work. These steps are not rigid stages, but a living path.
The Path From Fall to Ascension
For those just beginning to explore Mormon Kabbalah, one of the first things you may notice is that its teachings about spiritual growth can feel very different from what you may have learned before. In many religious and mystical traditions, the goal is often described as rising above the world. Many spiritual paths speak of leaving behind the struggles of mortal life and ascending into a higher, more spiritual state. The physical world is sometimes seen as something to escape. Mormon Kabbalah offers a very different vision.
Conference 2026: Love Thy Enemies
Centered around the challenging but transformative theme of “Love Thy Enemies,” the 2026 Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ in Christian Fellowship is a spiritually uplifting, inclusive, and deeply personal religious experience. This video offers a beautiful collection of heartfelt talks, testimonies of healing, and exciting updates about the future of the movement.
The Individual and the Sacred Community (with a Video)
Mormon Kabbalah does not choose between the individual and the community. It teaches that both are sacred. The individual soul is precious, and the spiritual community is precious. When the two grow together, they create something far more powerful than either could create alone.
The Stick of Joseph and the Stick of Judah
The Book of Mormon speaks about an ancient record closely connected to the house of Israel: the Plates of Brass. Because these records were originally part of the Josephite tradition preserved in Jerusalem, they represent an important link to their scriptural heritage.
Why the Plates of Brass Now?
One of the recurring promises found in the Book of Mormon is that God preserves sacred knowledge and reveals it in His own time. The book teaches that many truths, teachings, and prophetic writings have been hidden throughout history. God’s knowledge will not be lost forever, but carefully preserved until the moment when they can bless future generations.
Revelation to Brent and the Teachers
And now I would speak to the Teachers of the Fellowship: It is the role of the Teachers and the School of the Prophets to watch over the Church: Teachers are to watch over the Church always, meeting with the members oft to strengthen them and to ensure there is no iniquity, hard-heartedness, lying, backbiting, or evil speaking among them.
The Levitical Priesthood
My people and my friends, I speak unto you today to bring clarity to things that are holy before me, to end disputes and debates, and to make clear my will in these, the last days…
