Article of Faith #7

#7  "We Believe in the gift of tongues, prophesy,
revelation,
visions,
healings,
interpretation of tongues
and so forth."

This Article of Faith is a lot to do with the miracles that are all around us.  But we believe in these miracles!

"...exhorting all men to come unto God,
the Holy One of Israel,
and believe in prophesying,
and in revelations,
and in the ministering of angels,
and in the gift of speaking with tongues,
and in the gift of interpreting languages,
and in all things which are good;"
Omni 1:25

We can also aquire the gift of revelation for our children and for ourselves.

"But this is not all;
they had given themselves to much prayer,
and fasting;
therefore they had the spirit of prophecy,
and the spirit of revelation,
and when they taught,
they taught with power and authority of God."
Alma 17:3

An example of a healing from the Book of Mormon:

And Alma said: If thou believest in the redemption of Christ thou canst be healed.
And he said: Yea, I believe according to thy words.
And then Alma cried unto the Lord, saying: O Lord our God, have mercy on this man, and heal him according to his faith which is in Christ.
And when Alma had said these words, Zeezrom leaped upon his feet, and began to walk; and this was done to the great astonishment of all the people; and the knowledge of this went forth throughout all the land of Sidom.
(Alma 15:8-11)

And the gift that is well known for missionaries of the church as well as to anyone that is trying to understand and interpret the spirit.

 "And again, to another, the interpretation of languages and of divers kinds of tongues."
(Moroni 10:16)
