Jesus Christ has the power to deliver me.
From Come, Follow Me :
What experiences have helped you trust that God can and will deliver you?
“I wish to bear witness of God’s power of deliverance. At some point in our lives we will all need that power. Every person living is in the midst of a test. … Two things will be the same for all of us. They are part of the design for mortal life.
“First, the tests at times will stretch us enough for us to feel the need for help beyond our own. And, second, God in His kindness and wisdom has made the power of deliverance available to us.” Henry B. Eyring, The Power of Deliverance
When we turn to God with full purpose of heart and pray for His help, having a spirit of repentance and humility, we can access His power of deliverance. The Lord always wants to lead us to deliverance through our becoming more righteous. That requires repentance.” See God’s Power of Deliverance.
In the video below, Steven Jezek describes how he was able to feel the Spirit again, overcome addictions, and get baptized because of his experiencing indexing.

“...as we participate in family history and temple work today, we also lay claim to “healing” blessings promised by prophets and apostles. These blessings are also breathtakingly amazing because of their scope, specificity, and consequence in mortality. This long list includes these blessings:
If you have prayed for any of these blessings, participate in family history and temple work. As you do so, your prayers will be answered. Dale G. Renlund, Family History and Temple Work: Sealing and Healing

The Lord provides prophets, seers, and revelators to benefit mankind.
From Come, Follow Me :
Today, we sustain the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as prophets, seers, and revelators. How have they been “a great benefit” to you? (Mosiah 8:18)...How can you, like Ammon, speak boldly about the need for prophets, seers, and revelators? (see Mosiah 8:13–18). For example, what could you share with your family or on social media…?”
“We have some tight places to go before the Lord is through with this church and the world in this dispensation, which is the last dispensation, which shall usher in the coming of the Lord. The gospel was restored to prepare a people ready to receive him. The power of Satan will increase; we see it in evidence on every hand… Now the only safety we have as members of this church is to do exactly what the Lord said to the Church in that day when the Church was organized. We must learn to give heed to the words and commandments that the Lord shall give through his prophet, ‘as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me; … as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith.’ (D&C 21:4–5.) ” Harold B. Lee, Click here for the full talk.
What are prophets teaching today about the gospel of Jesus Christ that could keep you safe in today’s world?
President Nelson: “My dear brothers and sisters, the assaults of the adversary are increasing exponentially, in intensity and in variety. Our need to be in the temple on a regular basis has never been greater. I plead with you to take a prayerful look at how you spend your time. Invest time in your future and in that of your family. If you have reasonable access to a temple, I urge you to find a way to make an appointment regularly with the Lord—to be in His holy house—then keep that appointment with exactness and joy. I promise you that the Lord will bring the miracles He knows you need as you make sacrifices to serve and worship in His temples.” Becoming Exemplary Latter-day Saints
See the above activities in “Jesus Christ has the power to deliver me.”
Share your testimony of the gospel on social media, as our leaders are doing. Copy your posts and make them part of your personal history.
Elder David A. Bednar counseled church members to share "messages that are authentic, edifying and praiseworthy—and literally to sweep the earth as with a flood."

My choices can influence generations.
From Come, Follow Me :
As you read Mosiah 10:11–17, identify how the actions and attitudes of previous generations of Lamanites affected the generations that followed. What does this suggest about how your choices may affect others—for good or bad—including people who are not yet born?
To create an opportunity for those you love to be influenced by your testimony now and in the future, you can preserve a hand-written document by uploading it as a photo, and you can record your personal witness of Jesus Christ on FamilySearch using the Audio app or the Record My Story feature on FamilySearch Discovery. You can also share the document or audio recording with others via facebook, email, etc. by tapping the "Share" symbol.
Recording can be done individually or in a family setting or with others. You may want to help young children write or record what they feel about Jesus.
Your testimonies may contain the very words that will help family members strengthen their own testimonies.
