Today's point for the Seventeen points of the True Church is an interesting one.
9. The true church must practice divine healing.
This is a great talk done by Dallin H Oaks about Healing the Sick
He says in one of the points this, "A recent nationwide survey found that nearly 8 in 10 Americans "believe that miracles still occur today as [they did] in ancient times." A third of those surveyed said they had "experienced or witnessed a divine healing." Many Latter-day Saints have experienced the power of faith in healing the sick. We also hear examples of this among people of faith in other churches. A Texas newspaperman described such a miracle. When a five-year-old girl breathed with difficulty and became feverish, her parents rushed her to the hospital. By the time she arrived there, her kidneys and lungs had shut down, her fever was 107 degrees, and her body was bright red and covered with purple lesions. The doctors said she was dying of toxic shock syndrome, cause unknown. As word spread to family and friends, God-fearing people began praying for her, and a special prayer service was held in their Protestant congregation in Waco, Texas. Miraculously, she suddenly returned from the brink of death and was released from the hospital in a little over a week. Her grandfather wrote, "She is living proof that God does answer prayers and work miracles."
Many scriptures teach that the servants of the Lord "shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" Mark 16:18. Miracles happen when the authority of the priesthood is used to bless the sick.
I have a strong testimony of healing the sick and afflicted. With Faith and the Lords will anyone can be healed.
Mark 3:14-15
Mark 6:5,13
James 5:14-15
