Hello again. This time I am posting on my blog extra early because I am going to be really busy the next couple of weeks.
This scripture block is about a man who was healed by Christ after Christ’s disciples weren’t able to heal him. After he heals the man, Christ tells the disciples why they couldn’t. He said they didn’t have enough faith, and they didn’t fast or pray.
3 Nephi 18:20 “And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you.” This proves that prayer is essential if a miracle is to occur.
Doctrine and Covenants 50:29 “And if ye are purified and cleansed from all sin, ye shall ask whatsoever you will in the name of Jesus and it shall be done.” This teaches that in order for a miracle to happen you have to be pure and cleansed from sin. It also says that prayer plays a key role.
Doctrine and Covenants 42:48 “And again, it shall come to pass that he that hath faith in me to be healed, and is not appointed unto death, shall be healed.” And here we see that faith is also a key role. If we don’t have faith, it won’t happen.
So in summary, the three things we need to have in order for a miracle to occur are faith, prayer, and fasting.
