Spirit animates your life
For the lesson titled "Spirit" from January 30-February 5, 2012
This Lesson makes the important distinction that only the Spirit of God, good, has reality, power, and influence, while evil doesn’t. Science and Health teaches that “there are evil beliefs, often called evil spirits; but these evils are not Spirit, for there is no evil in Spirit” (Mary Baker Eddy, p. 206, cit. 18).
Filled with this Spirit, Jesus Christ was anointed by God to “preach good tidings unto the meek; . . . to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives” (Responsive Reading, Isaiah 61:1). Jesus’ healing of the woman who “had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years” (Luke 13:11, cit. 18) was just one example of many where he healed the sick through the power of Spirit.
