In a BYU-Idaho devotional address, Randy Parkinson, event coordinator at BYU-Idaho, told students they would receive blessings of power, peace and healing as they receive ordinances and enter into covenants.
Parkinson said that living a covenant life gives you power and courage.
He shared an experience from when he was a student at Brigham Young University. He said he woke up one night to three thoughts from a dark presence, break up with the girl you are dating, leave BYU and leave the church.
Parkinson asked for his father to give him a priesthood blessing. He said he continued on the covenant path, eventually meeting his wife at BYU and was able to enter into future ordinances and covenants.
