Pages 57-65

We have power to govern all things, both temporal and spiritual, the kingdoms of the world and the elements and storms and powers of the earth.

Here Elder Bruce R. McConkie has listed several things over which the Holy Priesthood has power. They will be discussed in the following order in this chapter:

1. The elements and storms and powers of the earth
2. The kingdoms of the world
3. All things, both temporal and spiritual

Since this power actually encompasses “all things” and is as broad as one can conceive, it should certainly be better understood and respected.

1. Power over the Elements, Storms, and Powers of the Earth (the performing of miracles)

Herbert Lockyer, author of All the Miracles of the Bible, stated that the Bible is a book of miracles, and whenever God had dealings with man, there were miracles. They were used to convey understanding, knowledge, assistance, and comfort.
