Testimonies of Healing

Sometime in the spring of 2016, I experienced digestive problems for about a week. I had been praying about it, and on Friday night went to bed feeling happy and healthy.

I am grateful for the dozens of demonstrations of God’s presence in my life resulting from my study of Christian Science, and I believe it is time I submit a testimony in gratitude.   When I graduated from UC Berkeley, I enlisted in the Peace Corps in the Fiji Islands.

The author identified herself as a disciple of Christ and recognized her only purpose was to “love God and keep His commandments.”

I am a composer, conductor, and pianist. The week before a big concert, where I was to conduct an orchestra and seven solo singers, intense symptoms of an ear infection appeared in my right ear.

A number of years ago, I served a term as Second Reader in my branch Church of Christ, Scientist. Each Sunday I read to the congregation the scriptural portion of that week’s Bible Lesson-Sermon from the Christian Science Quarterly.

Attendance in the Christian Science Sunday School taught me that having even the tiniest seed of understanding of God as Spirit, and of man as His spiritual image and likeness, has the power to heal and does heal. During those years I experienced quick healings of chickenpox and menstrual cramps.

Years ago my weekly schedule included several part-time jobs, and each of them involved physically demanding tasks. Near the end of one workday, I accidentally knocked over a bucket of soapy water, and while cleaning up the spill, I slipped and fell onto the wet tile floor.

Years ago, I felt mentally abused by my boss. Everything I did on the job was questioned, including my motives and methods.

This author’s healing experience helped prepare him to become a new parent.

This author learned that healing is about seeing ourselves as God’s expression clearly. As we allow thought to be transformed by divine Truth, the body naturally responds by evidencing normal health.
