Curing the Incurable

Description for lecture committee (not for invitation):  This lecture is all about handling fear and utilizing the law of God to heal disease.  We will discuss five specific ways to remove fear and how removing fear results in healing.  We explore 7 specific spiritual laws of God that are effective in healing so-called incurable disease.  The emphasis is on prayer and healing not on problems.  Healings of tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lump in breast, cancer, accidental drinking of household chemicals, effects of a serious auto accident, anorexia, heart condition, and polio are mentioned or described in depth.  A handout provides Bible references and references from Science and Health for use during the lecture and to take home.  Rather than superficially addressing an array of arguments in an hour, this lecture focuses on handling fear specifically and illustrates in a comforting, practical way how handling fear heals.

 

The Healing Power of the Bible  

Excerpts you can use for invitation/poster... The Word of God can heal you! Healings of unemployment, a tumor, abscess tooth, and more.  The Bible is an open book.  The Word of God heals today.  Examples of healing Bible verses and effective ways to pray.  Unlock the healing power of the Bible and discover your gifts.

Handle animal magnetism in your lecture planning!

Mrs. Eddy wrote the letter quoted below to Alfred Farlow.  I’ve found it invaluable in praying daily for lectures. 

“I request that you pray once everyday for the principal editors of the principal periodicals in your city and for the clergymen in your pulpits.  The lying influence sent forth to deceive our clergymen and our pressmen would, "if possible, deceive the very elect."  This must be met with a counteracting influence through prayer.  Let Truth be heard above error, and God will bless your efforts.  Jesus saith, "All things are possible to him who believeth."  Ask other members of your Church to do likewise, each day to pray as above, and pour in the truth that destroys the error."  Setting the Course p22,23

 

Alfred Farlow’s comment on another occasion reminds us how to handle apathy and opposition….

"The only way we can stand the test under fire of the opposition that is brought against us in these days is to cling to the Bible…. The Christian people of the country will stand by us if we stick to our Christianity." Ibid

Setting the Course: Alfred Farlow and the Mission of the Committee on Publication, published by the Committee on Publication 1993
