Our God-given and God-powered Dominion Leave a comment
These readings are from the Bible (KJV) and from the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and are an exploration of our God-given and God-powered dominion.
.
Divine Love blesses its own ideas, and causes them to multiply, — to manifest His power. Man is not made to till the soil. His birthright is dominion, not subjection. He is lord of the belief in earth and heaven, himself subordinate alone to his Maker. This is the Science of being.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p517: 30)

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
(The Bible – Proverbs 3: 5, 6, 13-18)

.
In patient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error, — self-will, self-justification, and self-love, — which wars against spirituality and is the law of sin and death.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p242:15)
You Are Beautiful (Really!) Leave a comment
These readings are from the Bible (KJV) and from the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and are on the topic of True Beauty.
.
Beauty is a thing of life, which dwells forever in the eternal Mind and reflects the charms of His goodness in expression, form, outline, and color. It is Love which paints the petal with myriad, glances in the warm sunbeam, arches the cloud with the bow of beauty, blazons the night with starry gems, and covers earth with loveliness.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p247: 21)

Forgiveness – A Quality of Love Leave a comment

Skin Cancer Disappears Leave a comment
A member of the Christian Science community in Canberra offered this proof of the healing power of prayer.
In 2017 a sore appeared on my forehead and would not heal. Sometimes it was soft and moist and other times hard and scaly.
I became concerned because of all the discussion in the media and more generally about skin cancer.
I’ve had many healings by praying as I’ve been taught in Christian Science and wanted to rely on prayer for healing in this case.
In the Christian Science textbook Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, she writes on page 476 When speaking of God’s children, not the children of men, Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you;” that is, Truth and Love reign in the real man, showing that man in God’s image is unfallen and eternal. Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God’s own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick. Thus Jesus taught that the kingdom of God is intact, universal, and that man is pure and holy.
I prayed to get a better understanding of this perfect man and his purity and holiness. However, the idea kept coming to me that I also needed to read Science and Health from cover to cover, as many people have been healed by doing this. I kept praying, but delaying reading Science and Health and the sore did not heal.
During a 2023 holiday in South Africa, I decided that I needed to have this sore seen to. So, when I returned to Canberra I went to see a doctor. The doctor said it was a skin cancer and needed to be cut out, and because of the position on my forehead I would need plastic surgery. I decided that I did not want to go down this path but wanted a healing through prayer, so I began to read Science and Health, and sometime in early 2024 the sore disappeared.
I’m very grateful for this healing and to Mary Baker Eddy for Science and Health and this wonderful healing religion – Christian Science.
