Testimonies of Healing
I have always been a person of faith, but in my youth I rejected all religions because they did not answer my basic questions about God and life. I didn't understand the Bible, either, or the applicability of its teachings to our daily life.
I've Learned through my study of the Science of Christianity over the years that my nature is actually spiritual, not material. Because I've always believed that we're essentially spiritual beings, made in the likeness of universal intelligence, I understood that in the true, or real, sense of being, there can be no pain—that it's actually illusory or hypnotic.
Each spiritual healing I've had gives me more confidence that God is the only healer, and that since I'm His spiritual "idea," I have control over disease or anything unlike God, who is good. In 1990, I found a lump under one arm.
About seven and a half years ago, I started experiencing a hardness and persistent pain on one side of my chest. My first thought was that it was an incurable condition I'd heard a lot about on the news.
A few years ago, a doctor whom I'd been seeing repeatedly for many years for a recurring problem diagnosed me as having chronic urinary tract infections. Although he prescribed antibiotics for the condition, taking them always caused more problems for me, and I became very afraid both of the infections and the drugs.
Late one night, my two-year-old son fell from bed, catching his arm between the bed frame and mattress. When I reached him, I saw that his wrist was bent at an odd angle.
When my daughter Christine was 15, she went out with her friends one Friday night. I'd planned to watch a movie, but then felt like I needed some quiet time with God instead.
When I was six weeks old , my mother became very ill. A doctor said that there was nothing more he could do and that she would die.
Some years ago , I was somewhat confused about spirituality. I wanted to find God.
One Labor Day , I started to mow the lawn with my old lawnmower. Because the grass was pretty high, I removed the front guard.
