Samekh Yod Tet
“I will say of YHVH, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” -Psalm 91:2
The third Name of God may be used to prepare ourselves both for miracles to come into our lives, and to preform miracles in God’s name. Is anyone sick? Samekh Yod Tet is a mantra for healing.

Yesod
“Thou shalt not bear false witness; blessed are all they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” -Book of the Law of the Lord 1:9/3 Nephi 5:51 RAV, 12:4 OPV
The 10 Sefirot (Hebrew for “emanations”) are the 10 attributes of God in Kabbalah, through which Ein Sof (the Everlasting name of God) reveals Himself/Themselves to humankind. There are a few different ways of using the Sefirot. Some Kabbalists study and grow from attribute to attribute, while others see them as an urim and thummim. As an urim and thummim, the right and left sides create a series of “lenses” for the natural eyes, while the center creates a series of “lenses” for the third or spiritual eye. Through this urim and thummim, God helps us see both the physical realm and the chain of higher metaphysical realms.

The following revelation was given to the prophet David on December 8, 2018 in Miamisburg, Ohio.

We ask members of the Fellowship to read this revelation prayerfully to determine if it should be added to the Fellowship canon in preparation of the vote April 6, 2019.

Binah
“And YHVH Elohim said: Behold, mankind has become like one of us, to know good and evil; and now, Father, I pray unto thee for them… that they may believe in me, that I may be in them as thou, Father, art in me, that we may be one.” –Genesis 3:22/3 Nephi 9:23 RAV, 19:23 OPV

The Everlasting Covenant
“And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.” -Genesis 17:7
When the Lord makes a covenant with is, he makes eternal covenants. For this reason, they are called an “everlasting covenant.” When God made a covenant with Noah that he wouldn’t flood the earth ever again, he made and everlasting covenant (Genesis 9:16). This means he will never break it.
