Mormonmom… Not off topic at all. Miracles are manifested through ones faith and belief that through God/the Universe/themselves/etc.. all is possible. ANYONE can have the power to preform a miracle. I think the priesthood is just a nice tool to channel this power easily because holders of the priesthood for the most part have the necessary belief as a result of “receiving” this power.
By the way… Observant… I loved your post on power vs. authority.
