Testimony of Healing August 26, 2013 Issue

No more prostate cancer symptoms

Bruce Higley

This testimony is long overdue, but I hope it will bless others. This healing happened at a time when, in addition to a full-time job, I had taken on what proved to be a very time-consuming, voluntary responsibility, which I took very seriously and that felt like the equivalent of a second job. I was so engrossed in giving my best effort to this responsibility that I didn’t notice I’d become increasingly disappointed and resentful about certain circumstances in my life. 

Then one day in the break room at work, I happened to sit down in front of a magazine that was open to a full-page drug advertisement listing in bold print the symptoms of prostate cancer. As I inadvertently scanned this list, I realized I’d recently begun to experience most, if not all, of those symptoms. Since I’d had many healings through Christian Science, I decided not to seek a medical diagnosis, but my symptoms matched that list and were often painful to the point of distraction. 

I’ve found Christian Science to be an effective means of health care all my life, and as a member of The Mother Church and a Christian Science branch church, I think it’s important to mention that there is no church rule about members seeking out, or not seeking out, medical attention. I haven’t considered medical means when I’ve been faced with challenges because my experiences with Christian Science have consistently proved that trusting God’s love and care is not ignoring a problem, but the safest and most effective solution. In the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy writes: “Scripture informs us that ‘with God all things are possible,’—all good is possible to Spirit; but our prevalent theories practically deny this, and make healing possible only through matter. These theories must be untrue, for the Scripture is true” (p. 232). So I felt sure this condition could be healed in the same way Christ Jesus healed, which is thoroughly explained in the Christian Science textbook.
