Overcoming Through Christ

          "Behold, I give unto you power
                    to tread on serpents and scorpions,
                        and over all the power of the enemy:
                                   and nothing shall by any means hurt you,
                                                                   our Lord and Master said
                                                                            (Luke 10:19)


          Let us fix so firmly in thought that we will
                       never, ever
                                        forget it that --


                Without Christ, we're sure to fail --
                With Christ we shall prevail.


                 Heaven sent,
                     Lovingly meant
                              To comfort me and you.

God's Help With Rain

Last evening, after too many days of very hot, dry weather, everything in need of rain, I felt frustrated with forecasts of none in sight for a long time.

Then two thoughts from Mary Baker Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures helped turn my thinking to God as an ever present help with all things:

God's work is done and it is our task to know this, to pray from the basis of His creation complete right now;

And she writes,  why do we ask for more abundance when the fountain is pouring forth more than we accept.

I of course have put these thoughts into my own words, but they brought such a sense of peace, and conviction that God knew nothing of drought or lack of any good thing, and that His work had been done perfectly (of course).

Then, when I took the dogs out for a walk this morning, was delighted to see the trees dripping!  We   obviously had a nice rain during the night.

Christian Science is such a help in our everyday life.

God's Mind, Our Mind

We are God's and have His Mind,
our thoughts from Him reflected.
Claiming and understanding this, we are
from all false beliefs protected.


There is no inharmony in God
nor in His image, you and me.
Accepting this as gospel truth,
we cannot help  but see
truth do what Jesus proved it would:


Expose mortal mimd's unreality,
                  Strike off mental chains,
                         Make us feel oh so free.


Christ-informed, spiritually enlightened,
we can have now rightful demonstration
of the dominion that belongs to all
as divine Mind's own manifestation.
For man is Mind-created and encompassed--
             held intact and dear--
and there is nothing in God's infinitude
for Mind's idea, man, to fear.

Loving Jesus' Words

Loving Jesus' words

          As I do,

Can help wanting for them

What His Father wants --

        Respect

        Obedience

         Love
   



Do you want this

            for Jesus' words

                                  too?

Healed Through Christian Science

From time to time I may share with my readers testimonies contained in Mary Baker Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.  These healings that came to those in need as they read and pondered the divine truths in this inspiring book can give hope of health regained in someone in need today:

From Madison, Wisconsin (pages 682, 683) -

"From the darkness of physical and weariness into the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and living,--from the darkness of a clouded sight into the light of clearer vision,--from the darkness of doubt and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of good,--this is what a reading of the Christian Science textbook has done for me.

At the time the book was lent to me, I was  teaching in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence  For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come as many more months before a cure could be effected.  At this time, Science and Health was brought to my notice.  I never thought of such a thing as being healed by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant manifestations.  I did not go back to the physician until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the way was more than five times the price of Science and Health I had purchased.) From the time I read the book I taught steadily without losing any time from my work.

Clean Through Christ's Word

"Now ye are clean through the word
Which I have spoken unto you,"
Our Lord and Master said.
It never fails; it never will,
Living Jesus' words,
Putting Gods precepts out front
Changes things for us:
Mental trash gets left by the curb,
Gossip -- harmful to us and to others
Simply falls off.
Sickness-breeding states of thought
Give way to peace on earth, goodwill --
Relationships are transformed.
We feel oh so free,
Just the way our dear Father
Wants it to be.
The Word removes us
From the places
We no longer need to be,
Frees us from those things
We no longer need to do.


We can count on it --
Christ's Word unclutters.


      *John 15:3

Some Thoughts on Proving Truth

A few days ago a woman emailed me saying she had happened onto my blog and found it helpful.  Her problem seemed to be an inability to get healing results from her efforts to know the Truth as given in Christian Science.  As she left no way to get in touch with her, perhaps the following thoughts might be of benefit.

Many times as I've been re-reading the testimonies of healing at the back of Mary Baker Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures I've been struck by this awareness:  since disease is not real, and there is actually no such thing, what all those people who were healed simply by reading and pondering the textbook were experiencing was a false belief.  Laid on them by family or in most cases, by doctors who told them they had this or that disease.  They were impressed by a mortal mind name and description which as Truth dawned on their thought, replaced their fears and misconceptions with divine facts of being--the divine facts which Jesus taught and demonstrated for mankind and which Christian Science makes available to us.

And, a post my husband among last month's entries on July 5th, might also prove helpful to readers -- "Absolute Faith".
