Testimonies of Healing

The author increasingly discovered her God-given peace and dominion.

One evening last winter I came home from work with a headache. Instead of addressing the problem through prayer in Christian Science, I decided to just ignore the discomfort until it went away.

The author worked to deny any sense of contamination and continued knowing "that spiritual sense could never be dulled or despoiled" until she experienced healing.

When I read the testimonies in the January 2020 issue of this magazine, I realized it was time to share my own landmark healing.   About five years ago, a small growth appeared on the center of my forehead.

In the book of Acts, we read that “a certain man lame from his mother’s womb” was placed at the temple gate every day so he could spend the day begging worshipers for small gifts (see 3:1–11 ). Jesus’ disciples Peter and John were on their way for an hour of prayer when he asked them for a donation.

A few years ago, I became aware of a growth in one of my sinuses. I prayed about it initially, and then, since it wasn’t something I was aware of all the time, I would pray only when it came to thought.

 I had decided to clean our fish pond. The first step was to fill two large tubs with pond water and transfer the fish and pond plants into them.

By understanding that God is the only cause, the author is able to defuse a threatening situation.

The healing occurred as the author learns to face down any fear or false suggestion that looms in thought.

I was housesitting for one of my former Sunday School teachers, and the kitchen sink had a feature I wasn’t used to. There were several taps—not only the main tap for hot and cold water, but also a couple on the side for soap and boiling water.
