Nephi moments prior to slaying Laban
When asked to give blessings, we as
priesthood holders listen to the spirit and pronounce a blessing as the spirit
dictates. But, what happens when the spirit prompts the individual giving the
blessing to say something so improbable, that there is no possible way that it
can be real? Remember, Nephi encounter the same situation. The spirit whispered
to him to kill, when all his life he was taught it was wrong to kill. Understanding
this, what promise did the Bishop who blessed the sick child of Brother Joseph
Freeman state? Joseph Freeman was the first man of African descent to receive
the priesthood after the 1978 announcement by President Spencer W. Kimball.
This blessing to the sick child was given prior to the 1978 announcement.

On her head and internally
January 18, 1840. Saturday: Went to see
Sister Lea and found her quite insensible. Brother Woodruff prayed and rebuked
the fowl spirits. We anointed her head and gave her some oil inwardly. I then
prayed and rebuked the pain. After washing her forehead with rum she appeared
better and we left her.
