Spiritual Healing--Sermon Summary

This sermon was not recorded, so I will summarize it in more detail than usual.
  • Keep in mind that Christ Jesus self-professed mission was to bear witness to Truth. In every healing miracle of Christ Jesus, there was one constant: The so-called disease left and the Body remained. Why? Because there is no truth (reality) in disease, but the BODY IS REAL.
  • Your BODY is not only real, it is constituted of the Substance of God's Presence. There are many religions that say the body is not real, but this is not in keeping with Jesus' ministry or his miracles.
  • God's will for you is PERFECT HEALTH.
  • Remember the denial from the Unity textbook Lessons In Truth: "Pain, sickness, poverty, old age, and death cannot master me because they are not real."
  • Disease is like a smoke alarm that alerts you to get out of the house. Disease is an alert telling you to move up higher in your understanding of God's Presence and Power. When you are clear on this, you never approach body disease at the level of the body; instead, you approach it from the level of God awareness.
  • Spiritual healing is the only healing that has nothing to do with the body in practice, but has everything to do with the body in effect.
  • Stop talking about your disease. Stop identifying yourself with it. Stop identifying yourself with the prognosis. (I know that's a hard one, but you ARE THE POWER that can do this).
  • The right prayer for any seeming disease is: "God, in this seeming situation (name it if you want to),what is it about your Presence and your Power that I need to understand?"
  • You may not get your answer right away. Nevertheless, keep at it until you get your answer. You will know when it is your answer. The fears and the tears leave when the answer "arrives." At this point, you are no longer concerned about the seeming disease. Your revelation is your Truth, and the disease is revealed to be a lie.
  • STAND BY YOUR REVELATION. This will be easier than you think, because truth is no longer a mere speculation.
  • Simply put, spiritual healing is the knowing and showing of God's wholeness right where disease seems to be. You take care of the knowing and the knowing takes care of the showing.
