Testimony of Healing October 7, 1991 Issue

Last year we had a wonderful healing in our family

Janet Wilkerson with contributions from David A. Wilkerson

Last year we had a wonderful healing in our family. Our teenage son, Sean, had a small cut on his finger that he did not mention to me until a few days later, when he came home from school with the finger badly infected. I began to pray about the situation right away. I also called a Christian Science practitioner for him, who agreed to give him Christian Science treatment.

As my husband and I prayed through the night, we felt calmer and were able to see that God is indeed the true Father-Mother of everyone, and that our divine Parent envelops His children in His love. Our Master, Christ Jesus, said, "I and my Father are one" (John). I knew that in reality each of us is inseparable from God's ever-present love. Our entire family endeavored to get a better understanding of God, Spirit, and of man as His spiritual image.

The next day Sean's arm showed symptoms of blood poisoning. The Bible Lesson for that week shared potent truths of God's all-power and total government of His spiritual idea, man. We prayed diligently, knowing that we can all prove that true existence is spiritual; it is not subject to contamination or disease but is wholly pure.
