Testimonies of Healing

My expression of gratitude for Christian Science is long overdue. When I was a child, my young sister’s quick healing of polio was the beginning of my mother’s serious interest in Christian Science.

The Bible abounds with accounts of the triumph of Spirit over matter—accounts so wonderful that they may seem unbelievable. Indeed, how can we fully grasp the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who were thrown into a fiery furnace without being consumed by the fire? And what’s to be said of Daniel, who was thrown into a den of lions and pulled out the next day without a single scratch? Christian Science explains that occurrences like these, which contradict the apparent laws of matter, are not miracles that belong to a bygone era, but demonstrations of the higher law of Spirit, God, which is always in operation.

Several months ago, on a Friday or a Saturday, I began experiencing debilitating pain and immobility in one arm. The discomfort kept me awake at night.

One evening in May 2019, I moved my leg in such a way that the very sharp pain I felt suggested that I had either torn or pulled a muscle.   Rather than dwell on the accident, I thought back to the readings I had just heard from a Church of Christ, Scientist, testimony meeting, which included the following citation: “To begin rightly is to end rightly.

Several years ago, a condition developed in one of my hips that made walking difficult and limited my ability to do simple things like tie my shoes. I couldn’t comfortably lie in bed on either hip because of intense pain.

Christ Jesus said, “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” ( Luke 12:32 ). Mary Baker Eddy wrote, “Take heart, dear sufferer, for this reality of being will surely appear sometime and in some way.

I have studied this life-transforming divine Science since I was a child, and over the years I have witnessed and experienced countless proofs of healing through prayer. Many of these healings have come about quickly.

This author shares three experiences where church aided her spiritual growth and brought healing.

Our youngest daughter has always been full of tremendous energy. From the time she learned to crawl she rarely sat idle.

This testimony is submitted with great gratitude to Christ Jesus for what he taught us about the omnipotence of our all-wise, all-good God, and to Mary Baker Eddy for showing us that the healing Jesus did can be done today. I am also profoundly grateful for Christian Science practitioners and teachers, who selflessly help others in their times of need.
