How do the Scriptures provide physical healing as discussed in General Conference recently?

"How do the Scriptures provide physical healing?" First, I wanted to go back to the General Conference address you were referencing. For anyone interested, it comes from Elder Richard G. Scott's, "The Power of Scripture" from the October 2011 General Conference. This is the paragraph where this thought is referenced: "Pondering a passage of scripture can be a key to unlock revelation and the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Scriptures can calm an agitated soul, giving peace, hope, and a restoration of confidence in one’s ability to overcome the challenges of life. They have potent power to heal emotional challenges when there is faith in the Savior. They can accelerate physical healing." I'm not sure if your question was like Mary's, "How shall this be?" or like Zacaharias', "Whereby shall I know this?" My hope is the first--because that's how I went about answering it, trusting that Elder Scott's words were true, and then finding supporting evidence for it in the Scriptures. Start with Doctrine and Covenants 88:15, "The spirit and the body are the soul of man." Based on THAT definition of what is the soul, this is what I found: 2 Nephi 4:15-16 15 And upon ^athese I ^bwrite the things of my soul, and many of the scriptures which are engraven upon the plates of brass. For my soul ^cdelighteth in the scriptures, and my heart ^dpondereththem, and writeth them for the ^elearning and the profit of my children. Jacob 2:8 (word of God heals the soul--really like this one), Omni 1:26, and then I also really like Matthew 8:8 in connection with John 1:1. If the "Word" is Christ--which it is--and Christ can heal--which He can--then the WORD, or His Holy Scriptures--can also heal. In Matt 8:8, the word brings the physical healing. This power created the worlds and the people in it. It stands to reason it could also heal them. I hope that helps with your question. Thank you for asking it! I enjoyed researching it out and appreciated the opportunity.
