I've Experienced Miracles.

Have you ever thought "What happened to miracles?" Maybe you do believe in miracles, but have you ever thought of how Christ performed miracles. Healing the sick and afflicted, walking on water... how did he do these things? It may be simple to think but it was just through the power of God. Now you may be thinking well yes, Christ had the power of God BUT not just Christ had the power of God, so did His apostles. And guess what... men today can hold that power to act in God's name. Here's a story of an Apostle who lives today and how he used that power:

"Dr. Russell M. Nelson was in Manzanillo, Mexico, in February 1978, attending medical meetings with the group of doctors he had graduated with 30 years earlier. Suddenly, one of the doctors became seriously ill, suffering from massive internal bleeding in his stomach. Under normal circumstances, any of the physicians in the room could have treated him. But in a remote fishing village with no hospitals nearby, no planes that could fly at night, and no medical equipment, they realized they were helpless as they watched their colleague suffer.
“All the combined knowledge and concern there could not be converted to action to help our friend as we saw his life ebbing before our eyes. We were powerless to stop his bleeding,” Elder Nelson said.
The victim asked for a blessing. Several of the doctors who held the Melchizedek Priesthood immediately responded, and Dr. Nelson acted as voice. “The Spirit dictated that the bleeding would stop and that the man would continue to live and return to his home and profession.” The man recovered and returned home.
“Men can do very little of themselves to heal sick or broken bodies,” Elder Nelson said. “With an education they can do a little more; with advanced medical degrees and training, a little more yet can be done. The real power to heal, however, is a gift from God. He has deigned that some of that power may be harnessed via the authority of His priesthood to benefit and bless mankind when all man can do for himself may not be sufficient.” "

I don't think I could have explained the importance of the Preisthood better myself. It is really a power that is so much more than what we can learn. It's not a degree or an A+ on a test, but something God gives us to make up for those times that modern day technology can't. Woah... seriously. That's most excellent. What even better is because my father has the Priesthood... I've seen these miracles in my own home!
