In the Space of Not Many Years | David A. Bednar | October 2024 General Conference
Elder David A. Bednar speaks at the 194th semiannual general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held on October 5-6, 2024.
If we are not faithful and obedient, we can transform the God-given blessing of prosperity into a prideful curse that diverts and distracts us.

I’ve listened to this about 5 times and today is the first time I heard/recognized his admonition to make our “Mark” the Lord Jesus Christ. In combination with his warning to not sell our birthright I think he is alluding to those Second Coming prophecies of those who take upon themselves the Mark of the Beast. The subject being Pride helps me to personally conclude that to avoid the mark of the beast one must avoid pride. To take upon ourselves the Mark of our Savior one must be humble, faithful, and obedient.
I Love Prophet Revelator The word of God is true.

13:39 i don’t have to think i might be afflicted by pride. I know i am. Every time i think might have licked it, i find another way i am l prideful.
Such a special talk. I have watched it many times. Each time i feel instructed to move forward. Love Elder Bednar.
@anitapulsipher I hadn’t thought of that before but it makes sense that Pride is hugely a part of that for many.
Pray for me to reject all forms of pride
A warning for us!
The righteousness or morality of the Lamanites exceeded the Nephites throughout much of the book.
I joined the church 37yrs ago as a 33yr old, the Lord has always been a part of my life, as hard as I tried to destroy my life he has been saving it. I see in the scriptures my life, a prodigal, boastful, proud, etc, etc. As a lost soul 37yrs ago I plead with the Lord to save me, he did and he keeps saving me. I have tried my pathetic best to live the gospel of Jesus Christ, I see that in every moment of my life He continues to bless me. I really don’t know why, I am a wretched being. Less than the dust that obeys him so perfectly. But I have come to know that he loves me more than all the world’s he has made. My Lord the Prince of peace even the God of mercy. And I know He loves you just same, oh how blest are we all.
He is so fab ❤
❤ Apóstolos de Senhor Jesus Cristo são inspirados a receber revelações.
Elder David A Bednar admoesta continuamente a igreja ao livro de Mórmon e aos sinais das profecias diante dos olhos fazendo prova do Senhor.
The Holy Bible clearly says to have no other gods before me. that includes treating people like gods. The scripture of the Holy Bible should not be twisted or changed for personal purposes. tho i where
Wisdom found only here
I wonder if any of the prophets & apostles will reference Alma chapter 10 in this coming conference.
"And now behold, I say unto you, that the foundation of the destruction of this people is beginning to be laid by the unrighteousness of your lawyers and your judges."
Seems like it would tie in well with Elder Bednar’s last talk and what has been happening in judicial branches all over the world.
Come back all you saints that wandered off! It’s still great here, and better every year! Temples abound by the Lord’s grace. Be a part of this work!
Amen❤
Elder Bednar a very powerful man
Thank you so very much Elder Bednar.
This is so direct and profound. Definitely for our day. ❤️
His promise at the end is stunning! Truth from a prophets mouth. The scriptures truly are for our day!
I was a member of the RLDS Church.
The early saints also predominantly over time lived in an era of sound money or gold and silver so banks were limited in credit creation or creating new currency out of thin air. Read Murray rothbard book us monetary history on YouTube.
The eccleszzz who is lds pushed Keynes and fiat currency essentially. They claimed it was a gold standard but the centralbankis privately owned paying a 6%divicend and never audited. The U.S. declared bankruptcy in 1971 and now each new mortgage creates new currency into existence. And in 2020 reserve requirements for banks went to zero which Lacy hunt said ended fractional reserve banking. When you can rob by inflation or creating endless new currency out of thin air obviously that’s going to promote materialism and the illusion of wealth on paper and greed and endless war. Few people ever talk about it and Christian church’s evade ever talking about it. Idk if they’re forbidden from talking about it. Eccleszzz who is lds pushed or helped get the rock rolling in this direction to save his bank in the Great Depression so idk if that is why they never talk about it idk.
He can’t see what needs to be seen most about the church, esp. the leaders and their exceeding great riches and poor decisions. He has always been condescending & self righteous in his own right and admits the church cannot go astray. He’s very self deceived. Read 2 Nephi 28 & Mormon 8 concerning our church. Please awake Bednar before it’s too late. As Jesus quotes Isaiah in Matt 13, "Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."

Excellent!
I was in checkout line at costco the other day and the thought came to me that Moroni saw exactly this!
I felt an oppressive sense of shame for our day wash over me.
A true leader speaks with clarity, and their followers should listen intently. In the time of Samuel the Lamanite, the Nephites became "hardened, impenitent, and grossly wicked" due to their pride, wealth, and sense of spiritual superiority. They believed their prophets and apostles justified their arrogance and divisiveness.
Today, similar issues persist. Some who claim to be saints are intoxicated by spiritual superiority, wealth, and pride, showing apathy towards those striving to grow. They unwittingly assume roles they cannot accept, as foretold in ancient records that now reflect our modern times.
Elder Bednar wisely warns us:
"We always must be on guard against a pride-induced and exaggerated sense of self-importance."
Such attitudes have distanced the LDS faith from other Christian communities, Restoration branches, and numerous Tribal Councils worldwide.
If one’s ambition is akin to Gollum’s obsession with the ring, focused solely on oneself as more special and demanding the removal of everything others hold dear, then they risk hearing the words, "I KNOW YOU NOT," from the very one whose name they replaced with their own "Latter-Day Saint Self Importance" title
Wake up, the sun is rising.
I just reread President Benson’s talks “Beware of Pride” just two weeks ago, so this was a great companion to that talk.
I love this talk. I love Elder Bednar. I love President Benson. President Benson spoke to me on my mission in California.I was about 100 feet away from this beloved Prophet of the Lord. He seemed to glow with the Light of the Lord as he spoke. I felt the Holy Spirit of God speak to me concerning his words. I have a profound testimony that the Book of Mormon is the word of God! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
There’s a great book by an LDS author that shows that there is perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account concerning the garden of Eden. It’s called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books and Benchmark Books.
It’s not often you get a good warning filled with encouragement. It’s motivating
Very greatful for their counsel and lessons of truth the Lord wants us to heed their loving wise counsel
My Patriarchal Blessing counsels me to be a "student of the scriptures". I have witnessed first-hand the blessings that have come from following that counsel. ♥♥♥

The Holy Bible clearly says to have no other gods before me. that includes treating people like gods. The scripture of the Holy Bible should not be twisted or changed for personal purposes. this is where this church is apostasy. you cannot venerate a man nor change Scripture which is exactly what this group does. Read the bible on your own and God will show you the way! you cannot follow a man and God. please turn away from the book of mormon and the path of destruction you are on.

Elder Bednar simply spoke of things as they really are. If you want to know what is coming in the next 5-9 years, read the Book of Mormon: it will tell you in a language so plain, ye cannot err. The Book of Mormon consists of 531 pages. It covers a time span of 3000 years if you include the Jaredite history. 219 pages focus on a 124 year period called the reign of the judges. That’s 41% of the entire book that focuses on that specific time period. (Alma 1 – 3 Nephi 10) As Elder Bednar stated that points specifically to our time. We are in the tail end of that time.
no
Not primarily a historical record? Then why does it say that is what it is on the introductory page? It says that it’s the historical account of the ancient inhabitants of the Americas. And goes on to say that the American Indians are the principal descendants of the Lamanites.
What a great talk.
Late 80s I got to shake Benson’s hand at Nauvoo after a dedication he did. What an experience as a youth.
Goated talk.
I once served a mission for the LDS church. I Later became a Christian.
One of my favorite talks.
