Testimony of Healing November 7, 1988 Issue

How grateful I am to be able to testify to the healing power...

Alice Swain Bailey

How grateful I am to be able to testify to the healing power of God as revealed in Christian Science. This spiritual law of healing has shown me that God is "a very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1), and it has brought me increased spiritual growth. The teaching I received in a Christian Science Sunday School laid a firm foundation upon which to build in the following years. The practice of this Science has helped me make business decisions. It has also contributed to a more steady, normal life, free of extremes.

One day a number of years ago I noticed a swelling and sensation on my cheek. Soon there was evidence of an unhealthy growth. I called a Christian Science practitioner and requested prayerful assistance. The practitioner asked me to reach out for a clearer understanding of my true selfhood as the pure reflection of divine Spirit. This encouraging passage from Unity of Good by Mrs. Eddy was pointed out to me, and I pondered it. It states (p. 60): "Christ cannot come to mortal and material sense, which sees not God. This false sense of substance must yield to His eternal presence, and so dissolve."

I was also helped by recalling a testimony in the Christian Science periodicals. The testifier spoke of being healed when she had realized that divine Love is a law of dissolution to any and all abnormal secretions, retentions, or deposits, and that it is also a law of purification, restoration, and harmony to one's body. How strengthening it was to realize that divine Love, which is ever present, is acting as a law of healing in every situation.
