This guide will help you to understand the nature, authority, responsibilities, and blessings associated with the priesthood. We will explore how to use the priesthood to bless your life, your family, and the world around you. We will also discuss how to magnify your priesthood and increase your capacity to receive its blessings.

The Nature of the Priesthood

The priesthood is not a man-made institution. It is a divine power that has been given to us by God. It is an eternal power that was first given to Adam and has been passed down through the ages through the line of prophets and priesthood holders.

The priesthood is a power to act in the name of God. It is a power to bless, to heal, to teach, and to lead. It is a power to perform miracles and to bring about change in the world.

The Authority of the Priesthood

The authority of the priesthood is the right to act in the name of God. It is the power to perform priesthood ordinances and to bless others. The authority of the priesthood is given to those who have been properly ordained and set apart to hold it.

There are two types of priesthood authority: the Melchizedek Priesthood and the Aaronic Priesthood. The Melchizedek Priesthood is the higher priesthood and holds the authority to perform all priesthood ordinances. The Aaronic Priesthood holds the authority to perform certain preparatory ordinances, such as baptism and the sacrament.

The Responsibilities of the Priesthood

As priesthood holders, we have a responsibility to use our priesthood power and authority righteously. We must strive to live worthy of the priesthood and to use it to bless the lives of others.

Our priesthood responsibilities include:

• To magnify our priesthood and increase our capacity to receive its blessings.
• To minister to others and to meet their needs.
• To teach the gospel and to help others to come unto Christ.
• To lead our families and to provide for their spiritual and temporal needs.
• To build up the kingdom of God and to establish Zion.

The Blessings of the Priesthood

Those who faithfully use their priesthood power and authority will receive great blessings. These blessings include:

• Increased spiritual power and discernment.
• Greater capacity to love and serve others.
• Protection from temptation and evil.
• Answers to prayers and guidance in decision-making.
• Miracles and blessings in our lives and the lives of our families.

Magnifying Your Priesthood

To magnify our priesthood, we must:

• Live worthy of the priesthood and keep the commandments.
• Study the scriptures and learn about the priesthood.
• Pray for guidance and revelation.
• Attend the temple regularly.
• Serve others and magnify our callings.

The priesthood is a sacred and eternal power that can bless our lives immeasurably. When we understand and use the priesthood properly, we can unlock its full potential and unleash its transformative power. Let us strive to magnify our priesthood and to use it to bless our families, our communities, and the world.
