I like this quote from the scriptures: Wherefore, we search the prophets, and we have many revelations and the spirit of prophecy; and having all these witnesses we obtain a hope, and our faith becometh unshaken, insomuch that we truly can command in the name of Jesus and the very trees obey us, or the mountains, or the waves of the sea. (Book of Mormon | Jacob 4:6) Or this one: And I said unto them: If God had commanded me to do all things I could do them. If he should command me that I should say unto this water, be thou earth, it should be earth; and if I should say it, it would be done. (Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 17:50) [comment edited] I think God HAS given us [a very real power in the priesthood]. I like this quote from the scriptures:
