Last conference God spoke through one of His chosen Prophets, President Boyd K. Packer, who gave a warning to those who are beginning to choose the wrong side of the battle! The talk given stated the absurdity of wanting to vote to change the laws of gravity, and the FACT that we cannot do such a thing! Of course you know that people who heard the talk and chose to jump on the side of the Devil, are now crying out against President Packer as well as the Latter-day Saint Church.
Granted we have all been given agency to choose what we will do, but we do not have, nor can vote out, the good or bad consequences of said choices. We read in the book of Moses, fourth chapter in verses 1-4 the following: "AND I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying—Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.
But, behold, my Beloved Son... said unto me—Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever. Wherefore, because that Satan ...sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him... also, I caused that he should be cast down; And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will,
Lucifer the fallen is still fighting that same fight, and those that by their agency choose to become offended at the word of God, as spoken by President Packer, may not even recognize what they are doing! Fox13.news has been, perhaps without even knowing it, serving the devil by continuing to stir up contentions amongst the Son's and Daughter's of God. Great they are getting higher ratings, but in so doing they are also choosing to serve Mannan, or the World, more than choosing to serve God our Father.
Brothers and Sisters we need to not be offended by the Word and rather seek new understanding and a different center, even the center of Jesus Christ and His ways. He paid the price for our sins, but He cannot save us in our sins, only FROM our sins, which means we need to recognize them, confess them, and seek to change (repent) them.
In truth we are not able to overpower the devils by ourselves, we need God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost for help there.

"Cleansing the inner vessel" -Boyd Kenneth Packer
Doctrine and covenants 1:38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.
Moses 4:1-4 (above)
Luke 16:13 ¶ No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot
serve God and mammon.
Alma 11:37 And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.
Some slight word modifications have been used in Moses's words, but the meanings have not been changed and the others are as written in the King James Bible, Book of Mormon, D&C, and Pearl of Great Price link HERE)
