So you have a body. So what?
Joseph Smith taught, “We came to this earth that we might have a body and present it pure before God in the celestial kingdom. The great principle of happiness consists in having a body.”
Does having a body help you experience the great principle of happiness? Or does it sometimes seem like the body is holding you back, such as when you know you really should get up and do something, but your body says, “Nope. I’m too tired. We’re not going anywhere.”* What about times like that? What about when you feel discouraged, depressed, or emotionally drained? How do you find happiness then?
In today’s episode, Karen and three coaches discuss “Warrior Chemistry”, the powerful response we can train our body to have that can neutralize the adversary’s attempt to control us through his whisperings. The body, rather than being what holds us back, can actually be a great tool to help us overcome negative emotions and gain power over the adversary. The body, when trained, can actually help us become more like the Savior.
Elder Scott Whiting, in the October 2020 General Conference, taught that changing takes practice and requires the help of the Savior: “You will need to commit to exerting meaningful effort...our efforts to obtain these attributes will require heartfelt pleas for His divine assistance.”
We attest that it can happen! We have all experienced the power that accessing Warrior Chemistry can bring into our lives, and we’d love to share with you how you can have it too. Join us, and realize even more what a gift it is to have a body.
*(We’ve talked in previous episodes about the source of those comments! It’s not really the body, but our one enemy, Satan. Elder Klebingat taught: “...he (Satan) will seek access to your heart to tell you lies - lies that Heavenly Father is disappointed in you, that the Atonement is beyond your reach, that there is no point in even trying, that everyone else is better than you, that you are unworthy, and a thousand variations of that same evil theme.” (October 2014, “Approaching the Throne of God With Confidence”)
