Christian Healing

Why is Christian healing so rarely thought of as a possibility? People usually turn to God when there is nowhere else to turn to. Why don’t we turn to God first?

It seems as though healing was an essential part of Jesus’ mission and preaching and teaching “salvation”. Salvation was not only the saving from sinful thoughts and activities, which cause us to feel separate from God, but also from physical illness and disease.

It seems as though half of Jesus’ mission has been lost. Christianity isn’t following exactly what Jesus taught or what the early disciples established as the Church.

The Church was full of activity and life, self-forgetfulness and love, and the healing of physical ailments as well as the putting off of the “old man” and putting on the “new man”.

So entrenched are we in materiality that we are unwilling to rely on Spirit, which is our creator, for life, health and happiness.

The biggest difference in what seems to be going on is the belief that God created matter. God never created matter and could never create it because it is limited, imperfect, subject to failure and destruction. How could the infinite, all perfect God ever create matter? It is impossible; it is the opposite of God’s very being, existence, and nature. Spirit created all in it’s own likeness (see the first chapter of Genesis). Therefore all has been created spiritually, including mankind. We are already whole and complete and inseparable from God. And in Christian or spiritual healing we are simply realizing that fact. And realizing that God, divine Mind, absolutely governs and controls every function of the body because all life, activity and being is actually in Spirit and is spiritual. Therefore there isn’t a faculty of life that doesn’t have its substance in Spirit and can therefore never be disrupted, obstructed, or destroyed.

We must awake from the belief that we live in a material world. As we do this, as we realize that we “live, move, and have our being” in God/Spirit, limitations will just fall away; peace and happiness will be calmly felt; and health will be stable and secure.

Christian/spiritual healing must be realized and recognized in health-care. Insurance companies and government must allow the fulfillment of Christ’s mission and activities. We must realize there is something bigger and greater at work than ourselves. God is the creator, not man. The fulfillment is not another savior, but man in the image and likeness of God/Spirit; and reflecting God’s divine and spiritual nature; reflecting God as the spiritual creator.
