A wonderful healing

Jan Mullen

One evening last year, five days after I attended a wonderful meeting of Christian Scientists, I walked upstairs to my bedroom feeling perfectly well. But as I was undressing, I was hit hard with symptoms of pain and nausea. I crawled to the bathroom and was lying on the floor, too weak to call for help. But I was able to keep prayerfully refuting these symptoms.

I was very direct in addressing what Mary Baker Eddy termed “animal magnetism,” with its false insistence that sickness and evil are real and more powerful than good (see Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 103). I argued against this supposed power and strongly affirmed that I would not be controlled by its lies; that I was under divine Love’s control, and nothing unlike Love could touch me or separate me from the truth of God’s care and love. I knew that God is the only power.

Then the thought came to me that I should call my husband or someone else to pray for me. But it didn’t seem that I could do that. I said out loud: “God is here. I have everything I need right now. Nothing is going on but good. God loves me, and I have now every good gift from Him, including perfect health. All of these are true thoughts, angels, coming to me from the one divine and loving God, who is wholly present and perfect, infinitely kind and all-powerful. I will never believe this evil picture of discord has a connection with my thought or life, because God is my only Mind, and He is only good.”
