Mission Prep Class 5: Miracles and Angels Are Your Right!
In this episode, we dive deep into the enduring truth that miracles absolutely 100% still happen today—just as powerful, just as big. Drawing on scriptures and personal experiences, we discuss how the condition for a miracle is faith.
You'll learn why, as missionaries, you have a right to these miracles to perform the Lord's work of leading souls to Christ. We address common questions about why miracles might seem less frequent today, explaining that God is an unchangeable God of miracles as affirmed in Mormon 9:19-20.
We explore God's purpose in miracles, which is twofold:
•
To show His power, demonstrating that if He can grant physical salvation, He can certainly save our souls from sin and death.
•
To demonstrate His involvement and love in the lives of His children, showing that He is aware of our situations and willing to act. Miracles are powerful tools to build faith in both investigators and missionaries themselves.

Missionaries are encouraged to pray for miracles and seek them out with intention.

We reveal three clear principles that are the conditions upon which missionaries can "call down the powers of heaven" to witness or be a part of miracles to lead souls to Christ:
•
Aligning your will with God's will: This means seeking His will through scripture study and understanding that His will is to lead souls to Christ. When you speak moved upon by the Holy Ghost, you are speaking God's will and word.
•
Having sufficient faith: This faith can be simple, trusting that God can do what you ask, even if your ideas seem humble or "dumb" like the Brother of Jared's glowing stones. Faith is also expressed through obedience.
•
Humility: Missionaries must be humble in their efforts.

Throughout the episode, you'll hear incredible, faith-building stories:
•
Ancient miracles like Moses parting the Red Sea, the fiery flying serpents, and Samuel being saved from arrows.
•
A story of a promise blessing made to an investigator to help him find a job if he kept commitments, emphasizing the power of a missionary's word when aligned with God's will and faith.
•
Lauren's deeply personal account of fasting and praying with "all the energy of your heart" for a mother and daughter to return, culminating in their baptism in her final week.
•
Shawn's experience with Victor Ivanovich, a "cool-looking dude" who, through an unexpected encounter, was brought to the gospel and later baptized, despite initial setbacks.
•
Lauren's first mission transfer story of cancelled lessons leading to a miraculous divine appointment with a woman seeking help to overcome addiction.

As 2 Nephi 26:3 states, God "manifesteth himself unto all those who believe in him by the power of the Holy Ghost...working mighty miracles...according to their faith". This episode powerfully testifies that if you go out with faith, humility, and alignment with God's will, you will see miracles!
