NEW! 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. This is a Bible-based lecture.

 

Description for lecture committee (not for invitation):  This lecture includes 5 healings in which Bible verses were the key in the cure.  The audience will participate in discussing Scriptural names for God and the qualities related to these synonyms.  A list of specific healing Bible verses will be given along with helpful passages from Science and Health.  This lecture explains Christian Science theology regarding baptism, salvation, and original sin in a fun way that newcomers enjoy and understand.  A theme throughout the lecture is the gifts of God--that spiritual sense is a gift which everyone has and can use to heal.   We discuss what to do when pray doesn’t seem to work.  This lecture is good for newcomers of other denominations as well as people unfamiliar with the Bible.  Christian Scientists will gain specific ideas to use in their own healing and see ways to explain Christian Science to others.  This lecture is Bible-based and having Bibles to read is essential.

 

NEW!  Texting God: Effective Short Prayers

Description for lecture committee or invitation:  This lecture is a family lecture, perfect for ages 8 to 88!  The lecture describes how to use short effective one word prayers: Help! ThanksJ  No!   Practical prayers in the Bible and Mrs. Eddy’s writings are discussed and included in a take-home handout. What are the  keys to make your prayer more effective? Healings of altitude sickness, sinus headache, debilitating disease and more are included.  We’ll also discuss wordless prayer- the prayer of love.  This lecture is for all ages, is interactive, Bible-based and has plenty of in-depth practical healing truths for Christian Scientists dealing with chronic or acute problems.  If you’ve sponsored one of my lectures before, this is an excellent follow-up!

 

The Possibilities of Prayer

Excerpts for invitation/poster… Healings of unemployment, ear ache, broken arm, and cancer.  You can pray effectively.  Discover answers and how to pray effectively for yourself and others!  Anyone can be healed through the power of God. Hear specific ways to pray.

 

Description for lecture committee (not for invitation):  This lecture is all about how to pray!  We talk about spiritual reasoning, spiritualizing thought, and the blessings of in-depth study of the Bible and Science and Health…all in simple language that the public can understand with a little humor describing prayer using an analogy of helicopters and machetes.  This is a practical, in-depth lecture on how to pray through difficult challenges.  There are 6 stories of healing including how a man changed his life after losing his job and family, a healing of cancer, etc.  The lecture ends with an inspiring discussion of the Beatitudes which engages Christian Scientists as well as newcomers.  Everyone will come away with a deeper understanding of prayer that heals.  This lecture is also available in Spanish.

                                     

God is Speaking to You       

Excerpts you can use for invitation/poster…  Hear 9 real stories of people protected and healed by God. Healings of stroke, difficulty walking, kidnapping avoided and more.  God speaks to people in prison, in a movie theater, in a junkyard, anywhere!  Anyone can listen to God—teens, homeless folks, prisoners, adults.  God is speaking 24/7 and you can hear it!   I know prayer works because it saved me from being abducted when I was 10 years old.

 

Description for lecture committee (not for invitation):  This lecture has 9 compelling examples of healing including healings of stroke, a chronic debilitating illness and averting suicide.  Stories include a homeless man, a woman in prison and 5 dramatic experiences of kids and teens.  This lecture specifically discusses how to tell the difference between God and your own wishful thinking, how to tune in to God, how to pray effectively, and what gets in the way of healing.  This is a nuts-and-bolts lecture for general audiences who want to know how to pray and heal, and for Christian Scientists who want fresh inspiration to heal chronic problems.  This lecture is very kid friendly.

 

The Christianity of Christian Science     What is Christian Science?

Description for lecture committee (not for invitation):  This is a classroom lecture for university or graduate school levels, although it can be adapted to high school.  It is appropriate for religion classes, sociology classes and other classes where there is an interest in the Bible basis of Christian Science and its practical application to the healing of sin as well as sickness.  There is a practical section on how to pray.  This lecture requires that the church be willing to provide Bibles and Science and Healths for each student during the talk.  It is helpful if the books are available for the students to take if they desire.  This lecture was well received at the University of Central Florida in a sociology class, in a Catholic education program for adults, in Vanderbilt Divinity School graduate class and undergraduate religion classes.

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
