New Video: Blessings of the Priesthood

Saturday May 16, 2009
The Church has a new Mormon Messages video about the "Blessings of the Priesthood." The video quotes Elder Robert D. Hales, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, who says:
"Through the blessings of the priesthood, we can be equipped with 'the whole armour of God, that [we] may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil' (see Eph. 6:11–18). This protection is available to every one of us....

"The priesthood is the power of God, which is given to man to act in His name. The priesthood of God is timeless" ("Blessings of the Priesthood," Ensign, Nov 1995, 32).
I know the priesthood blesses us to be able to put on the armor of God and is the power of God given to righteous men, such as His prophets, to serve all of mankind.
