This really speaks of today, keep finding them, one after another in the D & C; this  section 39 new, LDS 103. verse  5-7.  

Had the impression that when we came under Covenant; this will begin, as we have previously talked about. 

But verily I say unto you, that I have decreed a decree which my people shall realize, inasmuch as they hearken from this very hour unto the counsel which I, the Lord their God, shall give unto them. Behold they shall, for I have decreed it, begin to prevail against mine enemies from this very hour.  And by hearkening to observe all the words which I, the Lord their God, shall speak unto them, they shall never cease to prevail until the kingdoms of the world are subdued under my feet, and the earth is given unto the saints, to possess it forever and ever.

In the following verses I caught a definition that  I had not caught before; what the Lord means by Chastening.   Section 37, LDS 101, verses 1-5.  It appears that Chastening is what I have come to call; Trial of Faith, was what Abraham and Nephi and etc encountered; Listening choosing the Lord over Babylon or the World.  It is plain to see that many things that some call Chastening are in reality of curses because they did not listen and follow the Lord. 

Verily I say unto you, concerning your brethren who have been afflicted, and persecuted, and cast out from the land of their inheritance—I, the Lord, have suffered the affliction to come upon them, wherewith they have been afflicted, in consequence of their transgressions.  Yet I will own them, and they shall be mine in that day when I shall come to make up my jewels.Therefore, they must needs be chastened and tried, even as Abraham, who was commanded to offer up his only son.  For all those who will not endure chastening, but deny me, cannot be sanctified. 

An amazingly tragic take on research of,   HE TRUTH OF NATIVE AMERICANS BEFORE THE GENOCIDE; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7baWokO4ms  

Of course you will not see this info from the main stream news media an world leaders and scientist; they still have their agenda to hide it for some reason. 

 Here are two very enlightening films, which adds more  to feed the idea that Hebrews were in Egypt and at different times in power.  I have seen little bits here and there in films, but these two piece it all together.   ABRAHAM IN THE BIBLE WAS A PHARAOH IN EGYPT   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy4Cup4D_hQ  

This film should kick in after the last one ends, but just in case, this one is additional   to  the first one.  Bible lies,  Moses is pharaoh Thutmose III   

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0xtWK2lang

These last two films on Abraham and Moses fix a lot of things that seem wrong and explains  bits of research that seems disjointed from what is accepted,  and it fits with the Papyrus scrolls that Joseph Smith bought. 

Interesting, in Egypt we have the word Amun, yet we have Ahman in our records.  It is interesting too, that by DNA tests, the earliest Mummies in Egypt have Celtic DNA, with white skin and red hair. And then we have records in Scotland from a disposed princess of a Pharaoh who fled Egypt and settled  in Northern England, in Scotland. Then there is a statue in Egypt that shows Jospeh with white skin and red hair. To the world it maybe nonsense, but not the Spirit that lies with me.

The Lord has asked me to bare myself and bear witness to the things he has revealed to me; as a Special Witness of the Lord Jesus Christ.  I have known for decades that I was called to be a light to the LDS Wards I have been in for the past 40 plus years; it was only revealed to me of late, that I have as well been a Special Witness of Christ as well.

Over 40 years ago, the Lord prompted me to talk to two men in white shirts and ties, while attending college. When presented with the Book of Mormon, I knew it was the word of God, upon reading on the spot, and the man who brought it forth, Joseph Smith was a true Prophet of God, and that I should join this Church.

 The problem was, the longer I was in the Church, what the Lord was revealing to me through the Holy Ghost, kept coming into greater conflict.    I seemed to have a greater connection to the Spirit and gift of discernment then the LDS Members and leaders I knew.  This at first did not come without great trials, I began to have some doubts about who I was, and increasing health issue from my time in the military, in the late 60s.  But the Lord always assured me, all is well my son, even when the gates of hell seemed gapped wide open.    As my Gifts of the Spirit expanded after my Baptism of Fire, etc., things got worse when I was accused of dealing with witchcraft and black magic by local Church leaders. It was hard to stay the course, but I knew what I knew and could not deny it; I just kept things to myself these decades until more recently.  

Over the years, I always felt guilty for not feeling the Spirit as the Church said I should; and not performing Priesthood blessings and ordinances, that the Spirit did not confirm. Yet, while I did not do all that they said I should do, the Spirit, and gifts of Spirit and blessings kept coming with more clarity and power and usefulness; as a Comforter, in my life.

Step forward to a few years ago, Sean May a local friend began to share light and truth he had gained from the Holy Ghost, from reading Scriptures and from the words of Denver Snuffer. I would like to bear testimony and witness that when I read the first books of Denver Snuffer, I felt the same Spirit that I did when reading the Book of Mormon, etc.  I found the same light and truths that God had revealed to me over the years;   Denver Snuffers words were a Second Witness to what the Lord had shown me over the past 40 plus years.  In most cases, I had the same truths revealed years before I read Denver’s words, but a few times, I received them a week or a day before reading it, in my own separate reading of Scripture, from revelation.  

It got my hackles up a bit recently, when I discovered that some men, what men, had redone our Scriptures which we will be required to vote on, I think maybe I was still too raw from dealing with the LDS Church; then as well, found out Denver Snuffer has a new name and we have a chance to come under Covenant.  The hackles against it did not last long, I asked the Lord and was told to bow beneath the rod, even as Christ, honored the Father.  I felt a bit out of place I guess, as I have always had a very personal 24/7 relationship with the Lord’ but he told me,” Don’t worry my son, Denver Snuffer has come to prepare the way for Zion.”

My friend Sean May, I am glad he is in tune with the Lord, when he was at the last Remnant Conference, he felt impressed to pick up a set of the new Scriptures for me. When he handed them to me, the Lord told me quite forcefully, dispelling any doubt, “My hand has been upon this work, do not take it lightly; the impression was, those who ignore this, their salvation hangs in the balance; I knew at that time, the new Scriptures where good.

As this all settled in, added by much prayer; the Lord bore witness to me, that everything Shadowed in the Book of Mormon on the coming of Zion, and what Denver Snuffer has revealed to us; this is the only course things could take.

I bear testimony of the truth of these things, directed by Christ; as another Witness and Voice of this renewed latter day work.  Being a humble follower of Christ, a son in Israel, and a Remnant seed of Nephi, etc.; by revelation.

My parting words would be from 1 Nephi 13; these verses seem to fulfill the prophecy; of new scriptures; that needed to come forth.  

 40 And the angel spake unto me, saying: These last records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles, shall establish the truth of the first, which are of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken away from them; and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved.

41 And they must come according to the words which shall be established by the mouth of the Lamb; and the words of the Lamb shall be made known in the records of thy seed, as well as in the records of the twelve apostles of the Lamb; wherefore they both shall be established in one; for there is one God and one Shepherd over all the earth.

42 And the time cometh that he shall manifest himself unto all nations, both unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles; and after he has manifested himself unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles, then he shall manifest himself unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews, and the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.

I David Louis Johnson, declare these truths as a Witness, directed by our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen

One cannot advance without faith in correct principles

D & C   84:
54 And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received—

55 Which vanity and unbelief have brought the whole church under condemnation.

56 And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all.

57 And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written—

For the Lords Sheep who hear his voice, they will again have the opportunity  in 5 months, to come under Covenant; now that we again have a servant of the Lord on the Earth, with the High Priesthood to make such sealing and covenant in our behalf. 

3 Nephi 21:

1 And verily I say unto you, I give unto you a sign, that ye may know the time when these things shall be about to take place—that I shall gather in, from their long dispersion, my people, O house of Israel, and shall establish again among them my Zion;

2 And behold, this is the thing which I will give unto you for a sign—for verily I say unto you that when these things which I declare unto you, and which I shall declare unto you hereafter of myself, and by the power of the Holy Ghost which shall be given unto you of the Father, shall be made known unto the Gentiles that they may know concerning this people who are a remnant of the house of Jacob, and concerning this my people who shall be scattered by them;

3 Verily, verily, I say unto you, when these things shall be made known unto them of the Father, and shall come forth of the Father, from them unto you;

4 For it is wisdom in the Father that they should be established in this land, and be set up as a free people by the power of the Father, that these things might come forth from them unto a remnant of your seed, that the covenant of the Father may be fulfilled which he hath covenanted with his people, O house of Israel;

5 Therefore, when these works and the works which shall be wrought among you hereafter shall come forth from the Gentiles, unto your seed which shall dwindle in unbelief because of iniquity;

6 For thus it behooveth the Father that it should come forth from the Gentiles, that he may show forth his power unto the Gentiles, for this cause that the Gentiles, if they will not harden their hearts, that they may repent and come unto me and be baptized in my name and know of the true points of my doctrine, that they may be numbered among my people, O house of Israel;

7 And when these things come to pass that thy seed shall begin to know these things—it shall be a sign unto them, that they may know that the work of the Father hath already commenced unto the fulfilling of the covenant which he hath made unto the people who are of the house of Israel.

8 And when that day shall come, it shall come to pass that kings shall shut their mouths; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

9 For in that day, for my sake shall the Father work a work, which shall be a great and a marvelous work among them; and there shall be among them those who will not believe it, although a man shall declare it unto them.

10 But behold, the life of my servant shall be in my hand; therefore they shall not hurt him, although he shall be marred because of them. Yet I will heal him, for I will show unto them that my wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil.

11 Therefore it shall come to pass that whosoever will not believe in my words, who am Jesus Christ, which the Father shall cause him to bring forth unto the Gentiles, and shall give unto him power that he shall bring them forth unto the Gentiles, (it shall be done even as Moses said) they shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant.
