God's law defeats cancer

Predictions of disease are not the final word. Diagnoses are not the final word. The final word is God's, and it is healing.

Some time ago when I turned on the TV, I was greeted by an advertisement recommending that men should have themselves tested for prostate cancer. It predicted that 18,000 Australian men would be diagnosed with prostate cancer and 3,000 would die in the next twelve months.

From my study of Christian Science, I’ve seen that these kinds of pronouncements, while often well-intentioned, plant the seeds of fear in thought. This fear leads people to accept the predictions of disease, and sometimes to become ill with it themselves. 

Christian Science makes clear that since each of us is actually spiritual, sickness of whatever kind is a mistaken belief. It is based on the physical senses’ claim that life is in matter. From the many healings I’ve had over the years, I’ve learned that this claim is a lie and can be disproved through understanding the laws of Christian Science.
