Testimonies – Late Fall 2011 / Early Winter 2012

I found the remedy to a severe attack of nasal congestion when I sought a greater and fuller understanding of God. – Anne

 

Because I am a spiritual idea emanating from the Divine, I can choose to act like it; I can make decisions from this fact then watch it order and harmonize my life. – Kim

 

When I had an abnormal bodily function which was alarming to me, I chose to acknowledge that God was in control of my whole being.  It gave me peace to know God was taking care of me.  The bodily function returned to normal. – Janice

Testimonies – Late Summer / Early Fall 2011

When severe stomach pain erupted, I turned to Science and Health for healing truths about my spiritual nature and relationship to God.. The marginal note at the top of p.304 reads “Man inseparable from Love.”  I accepted that statement with my whole heart and the pain vanished instantly. – Debbie

I was healed of apprehension about a family trip when I decided to spiritualize the trip and see the presence of God in all things. – Anne

I am loving the deeper spiritual understanding I am gaining by reading Science and Health. – Ruth

When our daughter was sick and vomiting, she was disappointed that her friend could not come over to play.  I asked her when she thought she would be well, and she said maybe tomorrow, so we talked about God loving her to the max right now and within a half hour she felt well, could keep food down and had her friend over to play. -   Sally

Twice I was in danger of losing my home because of the actions of another family member, but when I remembered that I had shown principle and dedication in paying off my home, I knew I could not lose those qualities. I turned things into thoughts. The first legal action and the later lien were both removed and my home was secured. – Amy

A relationship problem was healed with the realization of one Mind. –  Tom

I was able to prove that I could never be outside of God’s care when I was healed of injuries from a fall while hiking in the mountains. – Mary Anne

Instead of being upset that my car wouldn’t start, I was grateful my car was at home and had not died on the highway.  After getting it started and to a garage, I was told there was a gas leak. I felt protected. – Janice

The cause of a communication problem was immediately revealed after praying to God with a heartfelt plea for the Truth to be revealed. – Ruth

A very challenging family situation was resolved in various ways quickly and harmoniously when I gained a better understanding of spiritual oneness and saw each family member as one with God. – Anne

At the close of a Wednesday evening church service, I received a call from the nursing home that my mother showed all the symptoms of an imminent heart attack. I drew on the healing truths I had just heard in the service to stay calm and focus on God’s care and love for each of His children. When I got to the hospital, her signs had stabilized and no heart attack developed. – Chuck

My sons were laughing at a picture of me in a wheelchair looking grumpy and called me over to the look at the picture.  “When did that happen?” I asked. I had completely forgotten an incident a year ago at Disney World where I had severely injured myself and had to use a wheelchair for two days.  To me, forgetting the incident was an indication of the complete healing that followed.  Not even the memory remained. – Anne

I learned about handling feat from two incidents with my children.  When my daughter fell down the basement stairs in her walker, I was terrified but calmed my thought when I saw she was alright.  But calming thought is not healing although it can contribute to healing. Later, when the same daughter got food stuck in her throat and could not breathe, I turned to God wholeheartedly because I could humanly do nothing at that point.  The food dislodged maybe 10 seconds later for no apparent reason. Handling fear is releasing fear and turning to God. – Kim

Testimonies – Late Spring / Early Summer 2011

I was healed of dizziness and fainting when I gained a better apprehension of God. – Anne

 

A change of thought about a co-worker healed a deteriorating relationship and resulted in unprecedented cooperation and congeniality. – Chuck

Pages 91-92 of Science and Health lifted a burden from my thought. -  Kim

 

My life schedule was re-ordered and matters were resolved when I put God, Spirit, in control and quit telling God how to take charge of my life. – Anne

 

My glasses had been missing for a week.  I finally remembered where they were when I realized that God puts every idea in its right place.

 

My aging dog, already unsteady on its feet, was attacked and maimed.  I was tempted to take it to the vet because the symptoms looked so scary, but I decided to stick with God’s help alone.  Within three days, my dog was healed and walking normally.  – Kim

 

I felt the extravagance of Love when a friend painted a picture for me as a way to express love and support. – Sally

 

I knew that dizziness and imbalance were not true about me since they are not true about God who is a firm foundation. The first chapter of Genesis states we are made in God’s image; we reflect His goodness and qualities, so I knew that I rightly express grace, dignity and balance.  –Rita

 

I was healed of resentment and frustration on a trip when I began to more actively express Christianity, forgiveness and a universal sense of Love.  – Anne

 

I was healed within hours of a sore throat, ear ache and upset tummy by thinking of  God’s allness and love for all mankind.

 

I was heading home after a month spent in South Carolina but struggled with feeling I lacked a true sense of home after the death of my husband.  Through prayer, I realized home is not a place but a mental concept and I carry it with me wherever I go. – Sally

 

I gained a more spiritual sense of morality from study of the weekly Bible lessons. I was praying to remove a character trait in myself that I believed I had inherited from my Dad. Then I saw that attributing a false trait to him was not “honoring my father and mother” as the fourth Commandment requires.  If the character trait did not reflect God, then it was never true about him or me. – Debbie

 

My dogs were protected from attack by an aggressive dog when I affirmed that one Mind – God – is in control and cannot be challenged.   – Amy

My wife realized she was missing an expensive earring but we claimed that nothing in God’s kingdom is out of place. Two days later, she walked directly over to a pile of leaves on the street where my son lives and saw the tip of the earring sticking out. –Chuck

On the morning I was to leave for a month’s absence, I discovered a leaking sink in my kitchen and a dead battery in my car.  Instead of irritation, I felt protected by God’s love; the leak did not cause damage while I was gone, and I was not driving in the mountains when the battery died.  I am so grateful to know of God’s love for each one of us. – Sally

God’s love provides everything we need, so I was able to locate a part when my furnace went out, even though the store where I eventually found the part said it was not in stock when I initially called. I just felt impelled to go there. – Amy

3/23/2011

When I entered my first 5K race, I looked around and felt I was the one of the oldest runners there.  But as I ran, I held to the phrase, “the infinite range of thought” from Science and Health and it freed me from every thought of limitation. God always supplies us with exactly the message we need, and  I was happy to finish 3^rd among the women. – Amy

I woke up to pray in the middle of the night because of a physical difficulty, but I was so tired I just wanted to go to sleep. But then I realized I was being asked to “wake up” to a spiritual sense of truth about myself, so I stuck with the prayer and elevated my thought out of a material perspective.  In the morning, I was fully healed. – Tom

I am grateful for the spiritual ideas found in the Daily Lift on www. spirituality.com  -  Sylvia

I was healed permanently of a knee problem through the prayers of a fellow church member knowing that perfection is God’s plan for every part of man’s being.

 

The story of Abraham and Isaac who reunite after years of estrangement, resentment and fear, helped bring healing to my marriage years ago.  I am grateful. – Lorrie

 

I was healed of a foot and knee injury resulting from clumsiness when I came to the realization that, as a spiritual idea of God, I could not be the cause of harm to others or to myself. -  Anne

 

I was healed of a sore throat and fever when I realized that what God made – perfection –was stronger than the discord in my life.

 

After falling asleep at the wheel on a long drive south,  I realized the need to keep my activity always under God’s control instead of my personal control. Understanding this truth, I had a safe trip back to Ohio. -  Ernie

 

When a young competitive diver hit her head on the diving board, I found peace in remembering she was always at one with her divine Father/Spirit and nothing could injure her in God’s kingdom.  She returned to her diving in a week.  – Anne

 

Alarmed by powerful winds and the sound of sirens going off in the distance, I found peace in remembering God’s power was greater than the wind’s. – Sylvia

 

 

 

Testimonies – Fall 2010 / Winter 2011

On three occasions unusual ideas occurred to me that made no practical sense so I ignored them.  In each instance, had I listened, I would have benefitted. I call these “angel thoughts” that come quietly to direct us.  The next time a thought like this occurred to me, I listened and made business arrangements with perfect timing and unexpected benefits. – Anne 1/12/11

 

In doing Bible research, I discovered that “Amen” has two meanings:  “let it be” and/or “so be it.”  The first, indicates our yielding to God’s will; the second acknowledges His authority.  – Kim  1/5/11

 

When the car my daughters were driving broke down and again when I locked my keys in the car, I found solutions and felt protected once I turned my thought to God. – Sylvia  12/15/2010

 

After a fall which injured my foot, the excruciating pain drained away quickly once I acknowledged that I could never be outside of God’s loving and complete harmony.  I am grateful for a quick healing. – Jim, 9/22/2010

 

While I was out to lunch, I began to feel unwell and wondered if I had eaten something bad. Then I rejected this idea as invalid; as God’s reflection, I could not be ill unless God was ill – an impossibility! In 15-20 minutes, I felt fine. -  Rita 12/29/2010

 

This summer, I thought I would have to put my house on the market to be able to meet payments on a business property I had been trying to sell for three years.  But I held tight to the idea that God never puts no unjust demands on His children; His demands are eternal and legitimate. Suddenly I received an offer and sold the property. – Amy  12/29/2010

 

Hurrying to prepare dinner for guests, I carelessly stuck my  bare hand in the oven to remove a hot tray and badly burned my hand. Immediately I turned my thought to God and rejected the idea that all my loving preparation for these guests could be spoiled. God’s harmony would not allow it.  By the next morning, I could not tell which hand had been burned. – Amy, 1/12/2011

 

One evening while caring for my granddaughters, I came down with an intestinal bug and was concerned the condition might be contagious.  In the middle of the night, I went to www.spirituality.com where I read of a woman’s healing of pneumonia after she recognized the truth of a Bible verse from Jeremiah:  Heal me, O Lord and I shall be healed; save me and I shall be saved, for thou art my praise. (Jer. 17:14). Jeremiah, she realized, understood that God was bigger than any problem. I found healing in this thought also.  I was fine the next morning and neither of my granddaughters became sick.  – Debbie, 1/12/2011
