Emily Fuller Delivered from Convulsions Through Priesthood Power

Nancy Naomi Tracy documented a remarkable deliverance from convulsions in the early days of the Church in New York. Nancy recorded: 'A young lady, Emily Fuller by name, had joined the church and came from another branch to visit for a few days. She was at Brother Blaksley's and was suddenly taken ill and went into convulsions. She grew worse. Her frame was racked with cramping. It took three or four of us to keep her on the bed.' When local elders could not reach them immediately, Nancy's husband rode 14 miles to bring Elder Ducher. Nancy wrote: 'She was in great agony when he came in. He knelt down and prayed mightily for strength and power that he might rebuke the destroyer and bid him depart. He arose and went to the bed side, laid his hands upon her head and clothed with the authority and power...' Emily was immediately healed and delivered from the convulsions that had wracked her body. This healing testified of the Lord's power to deliver from spiritual and physical bondage.
