Health is a fact of spiritual being. It is the condition in which God and His ideas dwell. Spiritual wholeness, or holiness, which is reflected from God, can't fluctuate or break down, can't lapse into sin and disease, deteriorate with age, or be altered by circumstances.
Because health is God-derived and maintained, it's not at the mercy of mental stress, emotional imbalance, moral contamination, or spiritual deprivation. It doesn't depend on chemistry, climate, or heredity. It isn't vulnerable to chance or accident but is as unassailable and incorruptible, as fixed and certain, as God Himself.
Humanly speaking, we demonstrate this spiritual fact of health by degrees. Becoming more conscious of God as our creator, the source of all true being, we awake to our real stature as the child, or idea, of God. We demonstrate this stature in greater well-being as we progress in understanding and living what is spiritually true. If health were not the fact—if it were not the natural and only possible state of man made in God's image—no one could demonstrate it. Because health is the spiritual fact, even if there appears to be any disturbed sense to the contrary, the human sense of things must ultimately be brought into conformity with that fact through prayer and spiritual growth.
