One of the interesting things that was taught in the Priesthood Leadership session of Stake Conference over the weekend had to do with Priesthood Power. I've heard for much of my life the term magnify the priesthood. We were taught that this is false. The Priesthood is the Power of God given to man. It is the power of God and we cannot, as men, magnify that. We cannot make the Priesthood bigger then it already is. Nothing can. It is the Power of God. When a man received the Priesthood his is given the authority to act in the name of God. Priesthood Authority and Priesthood Power are two completely different things.
So, we cannot make the Priesthood any more powerful than it already is. All we can do is increase our Power in the Priesthood. This is done through purifying our lives. As we draw nearer to our Heavenly Father and are worthy and pure, our power in the Priesthood will be increased.
