Can you build a fire, using a single match, that’s hot enough to burn a string 18 inches above the ground?

I am a beloved son of God, and He has a work for me to do. I will help others connect with God and Jesus Christ by worthily administering in the ordinances of the Aaronic Priesthood, including baptism and the sacrament.

I am a beloved daughter of heavenly parents, with a divine nature and eternal destiny. I lead, teach, and mentor others courageously by drawing on the power and authority of God and listening to the Spirit.

Priesthood keys unlock God’s greatest blessings for His children. Priesthood keys are the authority God gives to certain leaders in His Church to organize and direct the kingdom of God on the earth. Those who hold priesthood keys direct how the priesthood is used in the Church.

After Jesus’s New Testament Apostles died, the priesthood—the power and authority of God—was lost from the earth. In the early 1800s, God sent heavenly messengers to restore, or bring back, the priesthood. Through the authority of the priesthood and its ordinances, greater access to the power of God is available to all of us once again.
