Maybe Healing Has Already Come

A few weeks ago I had a headache. When I prayed about it, I heard "Why are you praying about this? It has already been healed. You were healed of headaches a long time ago. You must trust that you are already healed." I felt that this was God speaking to me. Of course, it is right to pray. But, there are times when it is right to stand firm, knowing that as it says in Revelation, "It is done."

When we pray we want to become aware of that universal law - God says I Am all! We want to feel wrapped up in God's love and be conscious that God is Love. When the fear comes that says, "See, you aren't healed," what is your response going to be? If you feel like you have prayed about this and you really understand that this is healed, then consider turning it over to God and knowing that in reality, that is to God, God has done His work and there isn't a problem to be healed. Rejoice that you are healed. Laugh at evil. (Laughing at evil is a sure sign that you are well on your way to healing.)

Let's say that what you are struggling with is actually healed, but you don't see it. You just keep praying day after day, week after week, not realizing that you are healed. Is healing going to come through repeated prayers, or through realizing that you are healed? That's kind of an individual question that you have to go to God with. But, I think you can see that I'm asking the question to broach whether we could be delaying healing by trying to be diligent. You may want to listen, and if you feel that God is moving you to declare victory and keep affirming victory until "you" see what God has done, do it!

By the way, I won't say that I was immediately healed that day. There were several times where the thought came that I still had a headache. Each time I kept affirming that God was good, that His work was done, that I was already healed. I did witness that I was healed and was free from pain. To me it was the Christ, the divine message from God that kept insisting that I was healed.

All the best to you fellow children of God.

The Christ Heals

The Christ heals! Great, what is Christ?

Christ is the Messiah. Christ Jesus was Christ.

Christ was Jesus' identity, his title. The Bible says that we have the mind of Christ. (I Cor 2:16) What it is saying is that we must think like Jesus, act like Jesus.

The Science of Christ better known as Christian Science reveals that Christ is the true idea of God, destroying evil. I have found that listening to God and reading the Bible and a book named Science and Health, there is more and more to learn about Christ. It seems to be an almost infinite topic.

God is like the Sun and Christ is like all the Sun's rays. Without the sunrays, what could you know about the Sun? Nothing!

Therefore, Christ is everything you can know about God. Everything.

Christ is the complete manifestation of Almighty God-good.

Christ is the force of good destroying and eliminating evil.

Christ is the force of good connecting you with God, impelling you moment by moment to do good, to be good, to think good.

Christ is Immanuel - God with us.

Christ is the Comforter - God's permanent healing presence.

Christ is the law of God, the law of Love.

Christ is God's action, God's activity. Christ then is ever-active, good that is ever flowing, moving, being.

Christ is the Son of God, like Jesus was. Christ is therefore the manhood that Jesus' represented. As the child of God, Christ is really your true Godlike identity.

Christ is the love of God.

God is my employer, Christ is who manages me.

Christ is the sum total of everything that is God. It is not God Himself, but it is everything that God causes to be.

Christ, being EVERYTHING that is true, HEALS!

-> Christ connects you to God, so it connects you to others. In the past few months, praying daily about Christ, I have seen many relationships at work improve substantially. Where there used to be barriers, there is frienship. Where there used to be bitterness, there is gratitude.

Infinite Good

Greetings fellow traveler. God-good is infinite good. Wow, I am in awe of the word infinite. I have pondered it a lot trying over time to gain a better appreciation of what it means. At first I thought of it as just infinite in amplitude. But, it is more than that. Infinite is unlimited in space, location and presence. And, what about quality? Can't something be perfectly good? And, the one that I am pondering this morning is infinite expression. In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, there is a passage that says, "All is infinite Mind, and its infinite manifestation." I guess that really struck me as never before as a wonderful revelation. Because God-good is infinite, He/She must be manifested and this manifestation must be infinite.

I think this is very helpful to the human situation. It tells us that where we perceive a lack of health and love, there is actually the infinite manifestation of Love and Mind (intelligence). This manifestation, being infinite, overwhelms our feeble sense of lack and destroys it. We are truly in the presence of God-good. We are truly experiencing that good right now. We can recognize that fact and enjoy the benefits.

With gratitude for infinite goodness and the presence of that goodness,

Prayer for the World's Woes

When the crisis in Myanmar had happened in Myanmar, I prayed about it. A few weeks later a friend of mine who is a Christian Science healer mentioned that more prayer was needed because relief agencies and governments were predicting a wave of disease due to the terrible sanitary conditions. This was a startling thought. I knew I need to renew my prayers, which I did. A few weeks ago I heard that the wave of disease never materialized! I credit prayer, all of our prayers from around the world. I acknowledge that God is the only healer. Yea God!

Over the weekend, I heard an on-the-ground account of conditions for refugees from Darfur. On the way home I thought about what I had heard about women in children being in refugee camps for years in terrible conditions. I prayed to know that Love was there. That the presence of Love was protecting them. I prayed for those that have abused them. I prayed that their hand(s) would be stayed from any more violence, that it was offensive to them. I prayed about the people in government taking money for oil and allowing this to continue. I felt an incredible sense of love and expectancy of a healing breakthrough.

It is done!

Thank you for dropping by.

Are you searching for healing? Friend, if you only knew how loved you by your heavenly Father-Mother, you would realize that everything you are searching for is already yours. If you are in pain, or something is not working correctly, relax and realize that you do not need to regain your health. Realize that what your heavenly Father-Mother knows about you is what is really going on. God knows that you are healed at this very moment. As His child you can experience the healing you desire by realizing that what God knows and sees is what is the Truth, and is what is really going on. Instead of trying to regain health you are already in possession of and expressing health and harmony. It is the Truth. To God, you are well. You may have to let go of fear. That's OK, it never did you any good anyway.

Thanks again for dropping by.

Love Yourself

Jesus commanded us to love our neighbor as ourselves. He said to follow his commandments and follow him.

God loves us. We must therefore love ourselves. We must love ourselves? Does that sound odd? I am not talking about self-love, which does so much evil. I am talking about loving your true self, the child of God. I am talking about embracing your true self, your Christly self.

When you love that Christly self, you are opening your heart to mercy and redemption. If you don't, you are refusing good. It's a form of self-hatred. Let's remove the label of "I don't love myself" and be free!

Have a mighty day!

Is Love Cruel?

Today is good and I'm glad to take a stand that the whole day is good. There is no better way to start the day than to listen for a thought from God. And, God is saying, "Today is going to be a good day. You are going to be with me the whole day." And, like looking forward to spending a day with a big brother or sister, I am looking forward to a day of healing, salvation, and joy. It hasn't always been this way for me. More and more I am seeing that we have an undivided existence from God, from good. And, how effective it is to declare that you are not accepting anything but good. Try it, you will like it.

Would it make sense for divine Love to ask you to do something, say be happy and not give you the means to be happy, the authority and the right to be happy? Would it make sense for divine Love to put it in your heart to walk and then not give you the ability, the means, the Christ authority to do it? Right now, you have a sovereign right to do what God is asking you to do. This means that every obstacle in your path is abolished. Your day is one of the human and divine coincidence. God is - you are. Let's take a walk with God today. It's a good day.

Feeling Sunny?

If you were the Sun, and you looked out how much darkness would you see? None. It's impossible for something that bright to see darkness. Now, think of God as the Sun, beaming forth light and love. What does God see. Of course, light and love.

If you are feeling down, you can always get joy from God. And, I used to work with that model. If I ran out of joy or anything else, I knew God had more. But THEN I realized how limited that was. That model implied that I have a limited supply of good. When a ray of sunlight leaves the sun, does it have to go back and get more light? No. It has everything it needs. So, God, who is Life, Truth, and Love isn't over there or up there. He is right HERE. When I am fully conscious of this, I feel that I am life, truth, and love. God IS, and I am. God is, and you are.

Have sunny day!

Darkness Doesn't Stand a Chance

I love the thought that problems, diseases are dream shadows. When we bring problems into the light of Truth (God), what happens to them? We see them for what they are. Nothing. What is revealed in their place? Well, what is real. In other words, when we look with God's eyes, we see the activity of God, which is Christ.

What conclusions can we reach from this? No problem has any substance at all. Having reached this conclusion, can the elimination of this so-called problem be far away?

All the best to you spiritual travelers,

Life Without Limits

Today was a great day. I got to spend some time with my sister. She was visiting with her husband and son.

There is nothing besides God. As expressed in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. "... nothing is beyond the range of infinite Truth." We have complete dominion over anything that comes our way.

Let's remember that all cases are healed. We are not waiting for healing. We are honoring healing now. "Now is the accepted time."

Love,

Dan

Certainty of Good

Today was precious. The pressure fell away as I realized that I am not the do-er and you are not the do-er. There is only on do-er, that is the I AM.

Infinite good is the I AM. And as He/She is I AM -- you are. What ever I AM is, you possess! That means that since God is Love, you are the individual expression of infinite Love. You are not seeking love, hoping for love. You are not seeking healing, hoping for healing. You have them, you are them. They flow to you and from you. God is not out there, but HERE. Therefore you cannot be separated from God.

Expect healing and have a wonderful day!

A New Perspective on Healing

As a child of God, healing is your original state, your current state, your permanent state. You are healed. The human ego must give up its plaintive fairy tale. So you are not returning to wellness, are you? The son/daughter of God is whole. You are whole of the belief of plague, the belief that you have been wounded, that there are unavoidable evils, incurable diseases. You are whole. The son/daughter of God is healed, and the human MUST come into line with that grand fact of Spirit.

You cannot be held back by fears, or opinions. Not even your own!!! The Christ present is present.

By Gunnar Wennerberg
They go in Thy strength, and they speak in Thy name,
With power of Thy promise forth faring,
AND DURING THE BATTLE VICTORY CLAIM, —
Their trust in Thy truth is their daring,
Salvation to all men declaring.

Freedom from Joint Pain

This is just a little healing. But, it illustrates the principle behind healing mentally.

On Sunday morning, I woke up and one of my joints, my left thumb, was painful. I have learned through trial and error, that when you first notice symptoms, that it is very important to decide right at the beginning whether you are going to take on the problem or not. A question I ask myself whether is whether I am going to treat the problem as a reality or as a belief. You can feel free to substitute your own words. Instead of belief you could use the word dream shadow, illusion, suggestion. Use whatever word works for you.

I made a decision that I was not going to treat this swollen joint as a reality. I had to really ponder that again and again. It didn't take long, but it did take perseverence not to believe what I thought I was seeing and believing. When I felt that I understood that this swollen joint was a dream shadow, I moved on. It wasn't until the next day I noticed that it was completely resolved.

In a book Science and Health, it says that disease is not something to be seen or felt. This is the Principle behind this healing I had.

With love!

Feel Free From Pain

Faced with while running 12.5 miles today, I knew that God didn't experience pain. Why would God-good suffer, or allow suffering? So, I decided to reject pain as a fantasy of the human mind. When faced with pain, I asked myself, "Why would you take on that belief of pain?" Really, this can be applied to any challenge!!!

This was amazingly effective. Every time pain occurred in thought, I recognized it as a suggestion that I didn't have to accept? Where did this suggestion originate? It doesn't matter. Why did I have to reject it so many times? It doesn't matter. What happened as I reflected on this during my long run was a I gained a sense of God-given freedom. So, although prayer is effective at relieving pain and promoting health, I wasn't using prayer as much as I was learning more about God and my identity.

Love to the world!

Stop Hurting

A simple thought carried me through my day today. I realized that nothing has ever hurt the supreme Being. So, nothing has ever hurt us or one of our loved ones. This is an antidote to pain. I mean this heals. Pain is unreal. The law of Love exempts us from pain. This lifted me up today.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Stressed?

Are you feeling stressed? That feeling seems to be going around. Is it because we have too much to do? Or, is it because we are just stressed?

I do not have the answers to these questions. However, I know that Jesus calmed the storm by saying, "Peace, Be Still!" I pray that simple prayer regularly for myself, our world, and for people that call me seeking healing.

When I pray, "Peace, be still!" what I am saying is this:

God, what are you seeing? OH! You are seeing peace? wonderful, soothing peace? Wow, I see it now. I see that this is not just mere comfort. I am yielding to the divine view, the divine reality. This world is not tied in knots. It is not at war. It is in accord with You. It is heaven. [Jesus said, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. He meant that it is not far off. It can and should be experienced now.] Thank you, Father-Mother God. Now, I am at peace, too.

God bless you everyone.
