Healing through understanding your true nature

DAVID L. DEGLER

One day several years ago after I had taken a fall from a low porch, a bone in my ankle was out of place, and it was painful. I turned to God for healing. At the end of several days of prayer there was a moment of spiritual insight that resulted in immediate healing.

What is involved in a healing like this? Understanding man's true nature as the idea of God; understanding the mortally mental nature of the physical body; letting the truths of God and man spiritualize human thought, thus healing the body.

Let's examine each of these. First, understanding man's true nature as the idea of God is fundamental to healing. Christ Jesus taught the true nature of God, explaining, "God is a Spirit." John 4:24. Christian Science explains that God, Spirit, expresses Himself through His creation, man. Therefore man is really of Spirit, not of matter.
