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.

Speak Gently 2 comments
.
Speak gently to the erring ones,
They must have toiled in vain;
Perchance unkindness made them so;
O win them back again.
Speak gently, ’tis a little thing,
Dropped in the heart’s deep well;
The good, the joy that it may bring,
Eternity shall tell.
(Hymn 315 – verses 2 & 3 from the Christian Science Hymnal)
