Testimonies of Healing

I would like to share my deep gratitude for a wonderful experience I had through Christian Science. As a Sunday School student, I learned so much from studying the truths in this divine Science, and it was a great help to me in school and my life in general.

Growing up, I believed that spiritual healing was unique to Jesus and a few of his disciples, and that medical treatment was the only practical option for dealing with illness or accidents. But I had mixed results with medical treatment so was receptive to something better.

During a period of great turmoil in my life following a painful divorce, I was struggling to regain a sense of peace. Newly single, but with a new full-time job and three children under the age of twelve, I was faced with both responsibility and the opportunity for spiritual growth, yet, at the time, the spiritual growth I yearned for seemed all but impossible as I found it difficult to feel connected to God, or to pray, because of the shame I was feeling over my inability to save the marriage.

I started wearing glasses in middle school because I was diagnosed with astigmatism. After graduating from college, I took Christian Science class instruction, which gave me a clearer understanding of man as God’s perfect spiritual reflection, and I realized I needed to challenge a limited, material view of eyesight as something that can be lost or distorted.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to God for a healing I experienced when I was a boy.   Growing up, Christian Science was a very big part of my home life, and my family attended church every Sunday.

With a heart full of gratitude, I would like to share a recent healing. Last year in March, I woke up one Saturday at midnight with severe symptoms of indigestion.

I had a healing a few years ago, which I wanted to share by writing it up. Days went by and I had not written the testimony.

A number of years ago, for no apparent reason I started experiencing acute sleeplessness. Whereas in the past I could fall asleep within minutes, suddenly it took several hours to fall sleep.

A little over a year ago, I was sitting on the lounge (couch) one evening about to listen by phone to the Wednesday testimony meeting of my branch Church of Christ, Scientist, when I felt I was losing consciousness. I was very fearful because I couldn’t hold my head up and needed the lounge to support it.

The first verse of the Bible, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth,” in Genesis 1 , lays the foundation for the truth that Christ Jesus taught his followers, which he demonstrated by healing all kinds of diseases, and ultimately proved by his resurrection. Mary Baker Eddy discovered the Science behind the Master’s words and works, and faithfully recorded her discovery so that anyone can, through study and persistent effort, prove in their own experience the goodness of God, who is all Life.
