After moving to Nauvoo, Benjamin Brown experienced a serious affliction that troubled him greatly. When Joseph Smith learned of his condition, the Prophet administered a blessing to him. Through this blessing, Brown was miraculously healed of his affliction. This direct healing through Joseph Smith himself became a powerful personal testimony to Brown of the Prophet's divine calling and the reality of priesthood power in the restored Church. The experience strengthened Brown's faith and his commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ and the leadership of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
