A healing I had a few winters ago showed me how powerful it is to hold to the fact that identity is purely spiritual. I was serving as First Reader in my local Christian Science church. One Saturday morning I started coming down with symptoms of a heavy cold. I was concerned about being able to read at the service the next morning. It was a beautiful day, and I decided to go for a walk and to pray. The thought came to me that I could take a spiritual stand for my freedom as God's child. The next idea that came startled me: I had the right and the spiritual authority to know I didn't have a cold.

Immediately several questions came to mind: "How could I have the audacity to say that I didn't have a cold when I had all the symptoms? What right did I have to deny these symptoms?" The answer came: "You have the right to know yourself as God's child and only as God's child."

From that moment on, I affirmed that as God's idea I could only be healthy and that my health could not be taken away, because God gives it to each of His children. Evil has no power of its own to take away anything that God gives.
