The Savior Healed a Young Man

          In Matthew 17, verses 14 to 21, It talks about an occasion where a man comes to the Savior and asks him to heal his son who is having mental issues. This man had previously asked the Savior's disciples, but none of them were able to heal his son from his mental illness that was besetting him. When the Savior heard this he responds in verse 17 "...O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me." After the Savior spoke these words to his disciples, he healed the boy of his infirmaries.
          After the Savior healed the boy, his disciples asked Him why they were unable to heal the boy, but he was. The Savior tells them that they weren't able to heal the boy themselves, because of their unbelief. He told them that in order for them to have been able to heal the boy of his illness, they would have needed three things. They would have needed faith that they could do it, they needed to fast to be in tune with the spirit, and they needed to pray to receive guidance. Hear are some other scriptures that let us know what it is that we need to do to be able to do miracles:

• 3 Nephi 18: 20- If we pray and ask in faith for a righteous desire, It will be given to us.
• Doctrine and Covenants 50:29- If we repent and are pure in heart, we can do many things in the name of the Lord.
• Doctrine and Covenants 42: 48- If we have enough faith we can be healed by the Lords power if it is the Lord's will.
