What does Nephi’s priesthood power tell us about Nephi and about others who wish to attain this power?

Thomas R. Valletta

“I know of a great man who held his dead son in his arms, and said, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power and authority of the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood, I command you to live.’ And the dead boy opened his eyes.

“This great brother could not have possibly done that had he been looking at a pornographic piece of material a few nights before or if he had been involved in any other transgression of that kind. The priesthood has to have a pure conduit to operate” (Featherstone, “Self-Inflicting Purge,” 66).
