Praying for Ancestor Names That Need Temple Work | 3 Latter-day Saint Testimonies (LDS)

Send us Fan MailHow do you know which of your ancestors need temple work — and can you really receive a specific name in prayer? In this Latter-day Saint (LDS) testimony episode, Tia Smith shares three listeners' experiences of asking Heavenly Father who on the other side of the veil needs help, and receiving specific, verifiable answers. One sister prayed for a name, received only a first name, returned in faith to ask for more, and was led to an ancestor who was ready to receive her endowment. Another — feeling overwhelmed and not ready to ask for a new name — was prompted instead to revisit names she had already worked on, and found a sibling whose ordinances were still undone. A third received two names in prayer, doubted they could be related to her, and discovered both were her kindred dead with work still waiting, even though the family believed everything was already done. Woven through all three is one invitation: offer a sincere, intercessory prayer to learn who needs help beyond the veil, then act on the answer in faith. You don't have to be a professional genealogist to take part in the gathering of Israel and find the ancestors who need temple work.Q: Can I really receive a specific ancestor's name when I pray about family history?A: Multiple listeners in this episode testify that they did — praying to know who on the other side of the veil needs help, receiving a name or impression, and then confirming it on FamilySearch. Tia Smith teaches that if you receive only partial information, you can return to Heavenly Father and ask for further light and knowledge, as one sister did before being led to an ancestor who was ready for her temple endowment.Q: What if I feel too overwhelmed or unqualified to do family history work?A: This is one of the most common feelings, and the episode addresses it through a listener who wasn't ready to ask for a new name but was prompted instead to revisit ancestors she had already worked on — and found a sibling whose ordinances were undone. Tia Smith testifies you don't have to be a professional genealogist; the invitation is simply to ask, in faith, who needs help.Q: My family says all our temple work is already done — is that true?A: Not always. In this episode a listener received two names in prayer whose family believed everything was complete, yet ordinances were still waiting to be performed. Tia encourages members to verify on FamilySearch rather than assume, because names that surface in prayer often lead to relatives — or their posterity — who still need help.Q: How do I start asking who needs help on the other side of the veil?A: Tia Smith's standing invitation is to offer a sincere, intercessory prayer asking Heavenly Father which of your ancestors need their temple work done, and then to listen for and act on the answer. The three testimonies in this episode show that answer can come as a name, an impression, or a prompting to look again at work you've already begun.▶️ WATCH & LISTEN🎬 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thinningoftheveil🌐 Website: https://www.thinningoftheveil.com🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinning-of-the-veil/id1753511394🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6jWCfMHkZXwnSwy2b98J4M🎵 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a0a45561-d4c2-46d3-af8d-a1e967a21a25📖 BOOKPatterns of Revelation — Spiritual Foundations for Hearing God's Voice: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BW36MG9B📱 CONNECTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinning.of.the.veilFacebook Group (Gathering of the Gatherers): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1429562078443774Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thinningoftheveil💛 SUPPORT THE SHOWVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/thinningoftheveilPayPal: https://paypal.me/thinningoftheveil✉️ Have you had a thinning of the veil experience?
