Healing of malaria symptoms
For two weeks I was feeling weak and not wanting to do anything. The symptoms were those associated with malaria. When I started to pray about this, things improved and I continued my normal activities.
Two weeks later, I got up one morning and set about my usual activities, including going to the school where I was helping students prepare for their final exams. While I was in the classroom, I started to feel the symptoms again. I denied in prayer this mental suggestion, because I recognized that I was being tempted to believe in the existence of disease, and that this temptation was like the talking serpent in the third chapter of Genesis—a liar! I knew God didn’t make disease, and therefore, disease was not real and could not be a part of His creation. I prayed and worked to take a stand against this aggressive claim of malaria. I had had other healings through prayer in Christian Science, so I wanted to rely on God in this situation, as well.
The next day and evening were very challenging with various symptoms. I continued to turn to God in prayer, and the thought came so strongly that disease and related symptoms are errors; they’re not of God.
