FAITH IN CHRIST


A friend told me the following: It happened while I was bishop of the ward. A good friend, I’ll call him Ron, experienced a serious accident at age 42, that crippled his leg and forced him to walk with a cane. He and his wife had come into my office so that we could set his wife apart in her new calling. After we had done so, I suddenly felt impressed to give Ron a healing blessing. He said he wanted to be healed and confessed that he had faith in Christ’s power to do so. Stating his full name and under the power of the Priesthood, I commanded him to be made whole.


By the time the blessing was completed, we were all weeping. As he arose from his chair, the pain in his leg was gone. He gave me his cane as a gift. Not long after, our youth group went on a hike up the side of a mountain. Ron led the way, feeling no discomfort and without his cane. To me, it is a testimony of the power of the Priesthood of God.
