D&C 109

The Lord gave the saints a commandment that they "...should build a house, in the which house I design to endow those whom I have chosen with power from on high;" (Doctrine and Covenants Section 95:8)

For as he said -

"...I have prepared a great endowment and blessing to be poured out upon them, inasmuch as they are faithful and continue in humility before me." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 105:12)

Merriam-Webster Dictionary described endowment as -

"natural capacity, power, or ability"

Those who visit the temple seemed to be endowed with power or increased ability for they will "...be taught more perfectly, and have experience, and know more perfectly concerning their duty, and the things which I require at their hands." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 105:10)

"...that all people who shall enter upon the threshold of the Lord's house may feel thy power, and feel constrained to acknowledge that thou hast sanctified it, and that it is thy house, a place of thy holiness..." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 109:13)

"...that no unclean thing shall be permitted to come into thy house to pollute it..." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 109:20)

"...that this house may be a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of glory and of God, even thy house..." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 109:16)

I believe that this endowment of power or ability is not a one time thing, but through continual service service in the House of the Lord is an ever refreshing and increase of endowed power and ability. The Prophet prayed that -

"...Those who shall worship in this house may be taught words of wisdom..." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 109:14) by the Spirit. And as they do the shall -

"...go forth from this house armed with thy power, and that thy name may be upon them, and thy glory be round about them, and thine angels have charge over them..." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 109:22)

And -

"...no weapon formed against them shall prosper; that he who diggeth a pit for them shall fall into the same himself;
26 That no combination of wickedness shall have power to rise up and prevail over thy people upon whom thy name shall be put in this house..." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 109:25 - 26)

Here in the last days we have seen great weapons formed by Satan to destroy man. Such weapons include online pornagraphy, online gambling, movies, advertisements, Sunday entertainment, and many other things that were never available previously in the history of man. It is in the blessings of the temple that we are endowed with such power and ablility that "...no combination of wickedness shall have power to rise up and prevail over thy people upon whom thy name shall be put in this house..."

May we be wise and attend the temple oft.
