Do this, and you will, in the due time of the Lord, arrive in his presence

"The second comforter is the great personal appearance of Christ to those who enter the holy order. While in his glorious company, He will lay his hands upon our heads and ordain us to the new and grand order.

How can mortal men and women arise to an accomplishment which is so wonderful that it could only reside in the human human psyche by virtue of powerfully revealed truth? The answer is supremely simple.

Begin where you are. Take the Holy Spirit for your guide. Be faithful in all things. Be fearless and constant in obedience as you are able, constantly moving towards the light. Do this, and you will, in the due time of the Lord, arrive in his presence.

24. That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth that light, and continue with in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day. (D&C 50:24)

The "perfect day" will dawn when we become perfect by the continual reception of light, which grows brighter and brighter within us until we are like unto God, purified and worthy. Then, all darkness will depart and the pure in heart will see God.

Such a powerful and incredible outcome to mortality! We will be changed into the Christ pattern (which is godliness), to be ordained to the holy order (of Enoch and Zion), and be sent forth by the will of the Father, through Jesus Christ, his son, to become and build Zion.

Then in the next verse the promise of power in the priesthood is given. We shall ask whatsoever we will in the name of Jesus and it shall be done!

28. But no man is possessor of all things except he be purified and cleansed from all sin.

29. And if you are purified and cleansed from all sin, ye shall ask whatsoever you will in the name of Jesus and it shall be done.

And in that state of righteousness, with our hearts and souls, mind and might dedicated to Christ, with the fullness of priesthood power, as members of the holy order, as citizens and practitioners of Zion, we shall not ask amiss because we know the will of Christ with perfect clarity.

Then, we shall have this greater priesthood power that Moses exhibited when he divided the Red Sea, which Enoch employed to move mountains and protect his people; which Christ used to walk upon the water and raise the dead, and which all the righteous of every dispensation have enjoyed when they climbed the mountain of unbelief and arrived at the face of God.

Those who do surmount this one grand priesthood precipice will become a member of an eternally elite and exclusive order of those who have been ordained under the hands of God in mortality. They will be members of the holy order after the Son of God."

John Pontius, "The Triumph of Zion", p. 176-177
