Today I decided to pick a verse and Study!
The verse I chose is
1 Nephi 11:31 It reads, "And he spake unto me again saying: Look! And I looked, and I beheld the Lamb of God going forth among the children of men. And I beheld multitudes of people who were sick, and who were afflicted with all manner of diseases, and with devils and unclean spirits; and the angel spake and showed all these things unto me. And they were healed by the power of the Lamb of God; and the devils and the unclean spirits were cast out".
Foot Notes
Mark 5:15-20; 7:30.
1st, a "devil" had over taken someone. Christ healed this person and said go forth and tell others what great things I have done for you. This is how I think of people who get mental illnesses. Christ can heal them, so that they can preach the gospel, even if you get struck with a mental illness, don't let it keep you from serving a mission if you still do feel that that is what the Lord would have you do. And if you can't, don't beat yourself up about it, Christ would never want you to do that!
2nd, A woman's daughter had a devil cast out of her. I think of a "devil" as anything that blocks you from having peace, joy, and happiness. Whether the devil in your life is a tragic event, or a sin, allow Christ to heal you.
Mosiah 3:6.
Another word for "devil" is an evil spirit that fills your heart. Christ can replace any evil feeling in your heart with the spirit.
Mormon 9:24.
God's power to heal in modern days, is given to the authority of the Priesthood. Whether this is talking to a bishop to heal your sin, or a Father's blessing when you are going through a hard time. God's power to heal is here on earth through the Priesthood.
