Protection and Direction



Elder Bednar at the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple Dedication testified that the temple would give us protection and direction. The last two new in the Salt Lake Valley Draper and Oquirrh Mountain appear to be fortresses. Both are surrounded by iron fences and build square and out of rock. The fence at Draper has two themes in the fence one theme is a spear pointed up. It does appear to be protection.
I know the Lord protects us and the Holy Ghost warns us so we may be protected. I feel that we can ask Heavenly Father to have light and angels surround us—like our homes, our cars, our kids, any way we travel bikes, boats, kids cars especially (Please sent light and angels around Whitney and the new car to her she got yesterday. Please protect her and the car. Please sent light. Thank you. Please bless Jed and Brad as they are in Virginia dn New York in cars and planes and need to make a very important decision about where Jed will go to school and be for at least two years. Please surround them with light and the spirit of the Holy Ghost and angels. Thank you Father in the name of thy son Jesus Christ, Amen) I do believe in –more depend on constant prayer.)
Temples provide us with special clothing that brings with it protection from Satan in all forms—accidents and sin.
Temples provide direction. Each individual may receive inspiration to guide them. This inspiration seems to flow more easily in the temple.
Temples are places of learning and keeps providing another level of learning. It seems to me there are two directions the temple takes us at the same time.
Temples take us upward meaning we become better individuals. We learn to love each other more. Temples are a place of service after making covenants and receiving ordinances ( we give and we receive atom pattern) for ourselves we do these same coveants and ordinances for the deceased. The sealing ordinance is in effect for children born to that couple so sealing also goes forward and by children coming to the temple when they become adults the sealing power may continue generation to generation.
We move in both directions of the square angle.
