Hi Jong_Kim, I have no idea who Art Bulla is, but I'm quite sure that
he could no more extend your lifespan then he could extend your height.


11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same
Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how
shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they
hear without a preacher?

15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring
glad tidings of good things!

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath
believed our report?

17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

(New Testament | Romans 10:11 - 17)

A prophecy of the One Mighty and Strong:

7 ¶ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good
tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that
publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

(Old Testament | Isaiah 52:7)

That is, Art Bulla is the One Mighty and Strong to the salvation of Ephraim
and Manasseh, even Messiah to the house of Joseph the son of Jacob, who was
renamed Israel. This truth as well as any other is satisfactorily discerned
only by manifestations of the Holy Ghost. To the natural man, however, it is
but foolishness. I have received this heavenly witness and continue to
receive it to this day, so I testify of it unto you.

11 And if it is that ye hearken, saith the Lord, and are obedient unto my
servant in these things which he shall command thee in my name, saith the
Lord, by the Authority Of The Holy Priesthood Which Is After The Order Of
Melchizedec, then it is that the second death shall have no power over thee.

12 And it is that if ye are obedient, saith the Lord, in all things, then it
is that ye shall be redeemed also from the fall and dwell with me and my
angels in regions of bliss and light forever and ever.

13 And it is that the first death, which is the death of the body which is
physical, shall not have power over thee at all.

14 For it is that ye shall become quickened by me and by my power, saith the
Lord, which power is after the Order of an Endless Life.

15 For I the Lord thy God am the creator and Father of all life and all life
is in me, that thy body, O man, is changed and quickened that it shall never
die, if it be that ye are obedient unto me through him whom I have appointed
and ordained unto this power through the ministration of messengers or
angels from my presence, saith the Lord God of Israel, as anciently.

16 And this is according to the pattern of that which I the Lord God did
unto Enoch and the City thereof as recorded in the eleventh chapter of the
Book of Hebrews by the hand of my servant Paul, who is now with me, saith
the Lord, in the might and power of my glory which is beyond the mind of man
to comprehend in the fulness thereof.

17 Even so. Amen.

Revelations of Jesus Christ 43:11-17

5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not
found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had
this testimony, that he pleased God.

(New Testament | Hebrews 11:5)

19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye
take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn,
and the day star arise in your hearts:

(New Testament | 2 Peter 1:19)

Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Four 1839-42 Pg.170:

The Doctrine of Translation

Now the doctrine of translation is a power which belongs to this Priesthood.
There are many things which belong to the powers of the Priesthood and the
keys thereof, that have been kept hid from before the foundation of the
world; they are hid from the wise and prudent to be revealed in the last
times.

Consuming less ( e.g. less food, drugs, water, air, etc. )
is the only way you could live a bit longer... not much of a choice, eh ?

Journal of Discourses, Vol.9, Pg.372, Heber C. Kimball, February 9, 1862:

Our tea is adulterated, our ginger and pepper, and almost everything that we
have to purchase is treated in the same manner, and I think we may safely
conclude that this is an adulterous generation, and by their evil practices
they are bringing upon themselves swift
destruction. They have commenced the work of their own extermination, and
who can help it? No one, except the Almighty.

Journal of Discourses, Vol.13, Pgs.153-154, Brigham Young, November 14,
1869:

.... when dinner time comes, don't pile the table full of roast meat, boiled
meat and baked meat, fat mutton, beef and pork; and in addition to this two
or three kinds of pies and cakes; neither urge the children, the father and
every one at the table to eat and gorge themselves till they are so full
that when night comes they will want a doctor. This will do for a change.
....

The Americans, as a nation, are killing themselves with their vices and high
living. As much as a man ought to eat in half an hour they swallow in three
minutes, gulping down their food like the canine quadruped under the table,
which, when a chunk of meat is thrown down to it, swallows it before you can
say "twice." If you want a reform, carry out the advice I have just given
you. Dispense with your multitudinous dishes, and, depend upon it, you will
do much towards preserving your families from sickness, disease and death.

If this method were adopted in this community, I will venture to say that it
would add ten years to the lives of our children. That is worth a great
deal.

65 For, behold, I will gather them as a hen gathereth her chickens under her
wings, if they will not harden their hearts;

66 Yea, if they will come, they may, and partake of the waters of life
freely.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 10:65 - 66)

Journal of Discourses, Vol.8, Pg.227, Brigham Young, October 21, 1860:

I drink, and I drink again, and am I still dry? I am at least still
prepared for more; and the more I receive in my understanding, and the more
my mind expands for the things of God, the better, seemingly, I am prepared
to receive more and more.

Journal of Discourses, Vol.17, Pg.177, John Taylor, October 9, 1874:

Let us drink a little more deeply of our religion, it leads us to God, it
opens up a communication between us and our Father, whereby we are enabled
to cry "Abba Father."

Journal of Discourses, Vol.3, Pg.355, Brigham Young, June 15, 1856:

We must be possessed of the spirit that governs and controls the angels, we
must have the same spirit within us that our Father in heaven is in
possession of.

That spirit must rule you and me, it must control our actions and dictate us
in life, we must cling to it and imbibe it until it becomes a second nature
to us. We are accustomed to saying second nature, but in reality it is the
first nature that we had, though sin has perverted it. God planted it there
as the predominant principle, but our giving way to temptation has
frustrated the plan and driven it from us.

How easy it is for people to understand and do the will of God, if they will
throw off their unrighteous traditions and let truth stand for truth, light
for light, and let that which is of God be received as such.

Of course, all choices, all changes are purely virtual;
as true randomness couldn't possibly exist.


Journal of Discourses, Vol.8, Pg.125, Brigham Young, July 15, 1860:

Do not gather to yourselves false notions. When you imbibe that which is
not true, it tends to darken your understandings.

Journal of Discourses, Vol.7, Pg.204, Brigham Young, July 31, 1859:

The principles of eternal life that are set before us are calculated to
exalt us to power and preserve us from decay. If we choose to take the
opposite course and to imbibe and practise the principles that tend to
death, the fault is with ourselves.

Journal of Discourses, Vol.8, Pg.125, Brigham Young, July 15, 1860:

Whomsoever you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are. Do
not obey the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eye, and the grovelling
grasping after property.

Journal of Discourses, Vol.10, Pg.323, Brigham Young, July 31, 1864:

When men have the privilege of hearing the plan of salvation from the mouth
of an inspired servant of God, and they reject it, I will promise them that
if they have ever possessed any portion of the Holy Spirit, it will depart
from them and sevenfold more darkness will ensue to the mind of that person
than is the lot of all to suffer in a state of nature, unenlightened by the
inspiring rays of the Holy Spirit.

Journal of Discourses, Vol.4, Pg.283, Brigham Young, March 15, 1857:

Elders of Israel and Bishops, be fathers, and take a course by which you
will win the affections of the people. How? with your silken lips? No, no;
but with the fear of the Almighty. Do you know that men and women of God
love truth? They do not love sophistry, it is an abomination to them. When
men are smooth as oil, with a smile always upon their countenances, as some
Elders have, to gain an influence, the love people have for such men is
rotten, is without foundation; and in the day of trouble, when they need a
foundation in their people, they will find that it will fall to the ground,
and that the people will pass by them and say, "We do not know those men."
Let your influence and your power be gained by the power of the Lord
Almighty, by the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven, and see that you have
within you a well of water, springing up to everlasting life. Then when
your brethren and sisters come around you they will drink at that fountain,
and say, "We are one with you."

20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying
in the Holy Ghost,

21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord
Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even
the garment spotted by the flesh.

(New Testament | Jude 1:20 - 23)

Journal of Joseph W. Musser:

September 28, 1938. ... Brother Peay also told of hearing Joshua Jones of
Provo tell of hearing Brigham Young say, "The time will come when this
people are led onto the very brink of apostacy." Jones made an entry of it
in his Journal. The speech was made in the Old Bowery at Provo. Learned
through Lorin C. Woolley, that his father, John W. Woolley,
attended the above meeting, and upon arriving home at Centerville he told
Lorin and his mother of the incident. He related it thusly: "President
Young, being filled with the Holy Ghost, said, 'The time will come when this
people will be led onto the very brink of hell by their leaders, then the
one mighty and strong will come to set the house of God in order.'"

6 Yea, thus saith the still small voice, which whispereth through and
pierceth all things, and often times it maketh my bones to quake while it
maketh manifest, saying:

7 And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord God, will send one mighty and
strong, holding the scepter of power in his hand, clothed with light for a
covering, whose mouth shall utter words, eternal words; while his bowels
shall be a fountain of truth, to set in order the house of God, and to
arrange by lot the inheritances of the saints whose names are found, and the
names of their fathers, and of their children, enrolled in the book of the
law of God;

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 85:6 - 7)

1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious
beauty [is] a fading flower, which [are] on the head of the fat valleys of
them that are overcome with wine!

2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of
hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing,
shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:

4 And the glorious beauty, which [is] on the head of the fat valley, shall
be a fading flower, [and] as the hasty fruit before the summer; which [when]
he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

5 ¶ In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a
diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,

6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for
strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

(Old Testament | Isaiah 28:1 - 6)
