How can I support a dear friend who has invited me to sponsor her in a breast cancer cure walkathon?

We believe with all our heart that prayer can heal any problem, no matter how severe.

Christian Science prayer has healed many cases of breast cancer over the years. Testimonies of healing are available online at http://www.spirituality.com/framework/search_redirect.jhtml;jsessionid=QNWWEJD33R3SFKGL4LYCFEQ?queryText=breast+cancer .

In Christian Science we believe that God is Love. Mary Baker Eddy, who founded this religion, once said: “God is our Father and our Mother, our Minister and the great Physician :”( Miscellaneous Writings 151:13-14) The Bible tells us that God made man in His own image and gave man dominion over every creeping thing. Breast cancer (or any cancer) is one of those creeping things that God gave us dominion over. We gain this dominion over cancer by wholeheartedly believing in the allness and oneness of the power of God’s love, and the nothingness of anything outside of Him.

Since God made us in His own image, and God is purely spiritual, we believe this image can only be spiritual. Disease is material, not of God, and therefore cannot be part of God nor of man. Disease then is a lie about us. If disease is part of us then it must have come from God. The Bible tells us, “Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity:” (Hab. 1:13) This is our authority for telling disease, as Jesus did, “Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me” (Matt 16:23)

When we consistently and humbly align our thought with God’s pure love, we begin to witness healing in all areas of our life. We pray to understand our perfect relationship with God that is always intact. Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy's masterwork, says it this way: “The Christlike understanding of scientific being and divine healing includes a perfect Principle and idea, — perfect God and perfect man, — as the basis of thought and demonstration.” (259:11-14)

So I rejoice that I can support the breast cancer walkathon with all my heart. I can support it with earnest prayer to God for the strength and safety of every participant that walks. I can keep turning to the spiritual fact that God loves His children, and keeps them secure. God gave us life, and he maintains our life. Science and Health states, “Health is not a condition of matter, but of Mind.” Mind in Christian Science is a synonym for God, so health is a gift from God, a gift which is always perfect. The only man God made is pure, perfect, whole, and complete.

This is my fight against breast cancer, and I will fight it with all I have in me.

My Car Needs Met with God’s Guidance

I was driving to my annual meeting for Christian Science Chaplains in Southern California. When I was taking the exit off the freeway to where I was going to be spending the night. I noticed two lights on my dash board. My first thought was this is probably nothing to worry about. I was going to get a hamburger at a local fast food place. It was about to rain and the angel message came do not do this your car might brake down and you will be in the poring rain.

As I continued I stopped quickly at a gas station and the attendant said it was probably my alternator going out. I drove about another half mile or so and made it to where I was spending the night. The problem was it was Friday night and the next day I would be busy all day at my conference. I only would be staying Friday and Saturday. I had to check out Sunday morning. I was about 150 miles away and did not know any garages nor did I have time to wait for my car to get fixed.

However God is always governing. First I was protected because the car could have stopped in the middle of my destination but it did not. I called my wife and she told me two people that were going to the meeting where I was staying... One of them graciously offered to take me to a mechanic she knew just before the meeting we attended. This we did and the car was worked on during my conference and was all fixed and ready to drive home.

God’s love is always with us meeting our need wherever we are. Mary Baker Eddy in her textbook Science and Health states “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need”. (494:10-11)

God is with us every minute and there is always a solution for every problem when we are obedient to be about His business.
