Testimonies of Healing

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.

About a year ago, just a week before I was to begin my second Christian Science nursing course, I went to the beach to have fun with my younger sister’s family, who had come to Cameroon on vacation. When we arrived at Kribi, a large resort town and seaport, we headed to the beach to swim.

When my son Jeff passed away about a year and a half ago, he was not a practicing Christian Scientist and was under medical treatment. He was interested in Christian Science, having been raised in a home where Christian Science was practiced, but he never fully accepted its teachings to the point of practicing them for himself.

I am so grateful for the many wonderful healings my family and I have had in Christian Science through prayer. The following healing that I would like to share proved to be one of the most important turning points in my life.

When my oldest daughter was about four years old, a skin disease appeared on her face. Since I was raised with Christian Science and had seen many healings in my life by understanding my spiritual identity as God’s child, I felt comfortable praying about this situation.

When the author realized he could only reflect the Mind of Christ, his sense of love and peace increased, and he experienced healing.
