Explore how Bible scriptures on healing and the healing power of Mind restore health of mind and body

Faith in God or Alternative Systems of Health

During my last few years of study at the university, I discovered that I could digest only small amounts of food and take very little water. The condition started after I was advised that some food I had eaten was tainted. This made me very afraid that I might unknowingly eat other tainted food.

So whenever I had something to eat, this fear that it was tainted would come to me. Then I would feel an unbearable pain in my stomach and could not retain what I had eaten. I tried different medical treatments, including hospitalization, but they didn’t bring me any relief.

As my condition worsened, I became interested in various methods and therapies of alternative health treatment, products and care to improve my physical health. Despite my diet, physical and mental yoga exercises, meditation, and other alternative health care methods, I continued suffering.
Once when I was taking alternative health treatment in some of the medical institutions, I met an experienced doctor who lovingly said that although he could not help me medically, he could tell me something that would bring my physical health back to normal.

Faith in God in the Scriptures

My doctor, whom I totally trusted, told me that if I would have a faith in God, everything would be possible, including my spiritual healing. Even though we were living under communist rule, it was dangerous even to speak of religion, this doctor was unafraid because he had had so many experiences of God’s care saving his life.

Having grown up under an atheistic government, I was far from any religious background. So it was not easy for me to seek and find a strong faith in the healing power of God. As I had no other choice, I believed what the doctor said to me with all my heart. The doctor explained to me why having faith in God is so important to restore my physical health and harmony. In order to have faith in God, he advised me to explore the sacred Bible scriptures on faith and healing.

This wasn’t easy. As I have lived at that time under the communist government, even mentioning the word “Bible” or “God” was banned. Finally, through my interest in the banned yoga and different practices, I was able to connect with people who smuggled Bibles from overseas to the churches behind the Iron Curtain.

When I purchased the Bible on the black market, I got deeply absorbed in the truthful inspired Bible scriptures. The spiritual ideas in the books of Proverbs, Psalms and New Testament were particularly meaningful to my heart, and my faith in the healing Bible scriptures and the power of God began to grow. I felt immediate improvement in my physical health.

Though I believed in the power of God, it was a blind faith – without understanding. I felt strongly that my long wait healing from God was on the way. But my hidden fears of breaking some material laws, such as eating food that wasn’t fresh or might be going bad, or fear of catching a virus or cold still had a place in my thought. Whenever I ate something, which I felt was not absolutely perfect, I suffered.

Through absorbing and meditating the scriptures in the Bible on healing my faith in the healing power of prayer strengthened. My love and faith for the Bible helped me overcome many difficult situations in that period of my life though my physical health was still greatly affected by my fears.

I kept to a strict diet, did physical and mental yoga exercises, meditation, and applied alternative therapies to improve my general health, but I was under constant fear. I truly believed that if I trespassed material laws, my stomach would suffer or I would catch flu or some other sickness.

I spent eighteen years studying the Bible scriptures and searching for ways to improve my physical health through the Bible’s inspired messages. At last I felt that the healing power of God was more than the power of my faith or hope. I started feeling more and more that my hope in God, which before depended on my blind faith, IS “a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

Around this time, the Nuclear disaster took place, and I was living with my family in the disaster zone. With two small children, my wife and I were concerned about the effects of radiation. Also, the political situation there was very unstable. So we decided to immigrate to Australia.
After we were settled there with our two little girls, I continued to search for healing to be free from any kind of infirmity. To satisfy my spiritual hunger, we visited many different church services, but neither body nor soul were satisfied with those beliefs and we continued our search for truth.

Christian Spiritual Healing – Divine Mind

Once during discussions with my English tutor about God and His omnipotent power, she introduced my wife and myself to the Christian Science teaching. She invited my wife and me to attend a church service, and during that service I instantly recognized and accepted the truths that the Readers were presenting.

I saw clearly in my mind and heart that the spiritual ideas they were reading from the Bible and Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy were not contaminated by any human theories, creeds, traditions and so on. After the service, I was advised to obtain a copy of the healing book Science and Health.

Although I had some questions about how Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures could be a key to the Bible, I purchased a copy. (To order this healing book you can on the page RESOURCES to read online r the Paperback).

At the same evening my wife read one of the testimonies in the “Fruitage” chapter of Science and Health in which someone told of being healed of a similar condition.

Through the inspired truths of Christian Science and my deep study of the Bible scriptures, I started to realize that in a harmonious universe–which is governed by God or divine Principle–there is no place for any moral or physical law that could give reality to disharmony or disease.

In proportion to my growing spiritual understanding of the truth that “the power of Christian Science and divine Love is omnipotent” and that “it is indeed adequate to unclasp the hold and to destroy disease, sin, and death,” my physical health improved.

Gradually I realized that divine Mind emanates and expresses only harmony and health, and we can experience that harmony if we allow His pure and high ideas to be present in our consciousness. No disharmony or disease could be expressed through me as I am spiritual, made in God’s likeness. It follows that I can express only good thoughts that come from the one divine Mind.

Through the years of my spiritual adventure to find a healing through alternative systems or health treatments, I have found that without having faith in God it is impossible to please God.

Christian spiritual healing or Christian Science claims with divine authority and proofs that to get permanent healing I needed also to understand God correctly. My digestive problems instantly disappeared when I replaced my incorrect beliefs about food with an understanding that my being is the reflection of the divine healing Mind, which cannot suffer.

I also learned that everlasting Love is good and the only Cause. So then my body is the reflection of that good spiritual Cause: omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient Mind. These spiritual truths healed me, and I have been free of that disease for many years.

Healing of Dasha

One day my wife, being in our daughter’s place, called her doggy, Dasha, for a walk. Such a decision always had been met with a great joy from Dasha. However, that afternoon Dasha’s breath was very irregular, and her eyes were full of sadness. When my wife wanted to cuddle Dasha, the dog started screaming.

Evidently, extreme pain was present there. The next day was going to be so busy for our daughter so my wife offered to bring Dasha to our place. When Dasha was brought to our home next morning, she was not happy as usual. It was obvious that healing of Dasha

Mostly, she would be greeting us by dancing on her back legs. She did not allow us even to pat her neck. Dasha was breathing heavily. She could not raise her head up to greet us. Her tail is an indicator of happiness and this day it hung down. Dasha did not greet me, and she did not lie down next to me, as had always occurred before. Dasha just walked around me, breathing with great difficulty.

When I tried gently to touch her neck, she screamed, as she had done the evening before. It was clear that Dasha needed emergency attention. I did not have any experience praying for animals, though I remembered some testimonials about animals’ wonderful healings. My heart was with that lovely dog, but I still was not sure how to pray for her. Then, different ideas started occupying my consciousness. I reasoned that animals are created in God’s image, as man is.

Suddenly, the liberating thought that ” All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation” illumined my mind. From that spiritual fact, I continued reasoning that God, Mind, made animals good. So our doggy also should reflect the health, goodness and perfection in her life. Realizing this eternal truth and watching that Dasha still suffered, I called to God with all my soul. I began talking to Dasha, declaring the truth about our doggy as God’s creature. I said to Dasha with divine authority, “Dasha, God formed all creatures good including you, and therefore you are free from any discords!”

I’ve learned in the divine Science of Mind that there cannot be any inharmonious actions or mental malpractice in the perfect, all-present God where all His creation exists. So I’ve started fervently denying in my mind that any abnormality could have a place in Dasha’s being. There could be no power to take a hold of Dasha. Those thoughts became so obvious to me because of my study of the Science of Mind, described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures written by Mary Baker Eddy. Some spiritual principles of how to pray are also described in the article The Art Of Prayer.

As Dasha was still wandering around, I steadfastly continued to utter the previously mentioned truths about Dasha’s being for another 10 minutes until her breathing calmed and she sat quietly in the corner. With great joy and happiness I praised God for that first step of healing. I still was holding to the truth that no disharmony could enter God’s creation and that all creations, including Dasha, dwell harmoniously in the Kingdom of Heaven.

In a few minutes, Dasha was already lying calmly. Later, when I stood up, Dasha as usual joyfully ran up towards me, lifting up her head and letting me shake it. Her tail was up again. Being ready for her breakfast, she ran quickly to be fed.

That Dasha’s healing brought another harmonious outcome. After walking Dasha, I found that sometimes she experienced problems with breathing. After that prayerful treatment that morning, she comes freely home after walking, without a sign of heavy breathing. I glorified God for that healing and for learning that animals, like children, are also so receptive to spiritual truth and healing.
