Prayer defied doctor's expectations

I made a new friend who visited my church Sunday with family and shared with me an inspiring story of healing.

Several months ago, she was being treated by doctors for a serious health problem. An angiogram into her brain caused a series of severe health problems for this woman, including three strokes, paralysis of her face and front part of her body, and bleeding on the brain. Her case became so severe that the doctors lost all hope of saving her and predicted she would pass on in a day or so. They gave up and quit trying to help her medically.

This woman comes from a close knit family, several of whom practice Christian Science to varying degrees. They were notified and immediately began praying for their dear one the best they knew how. She was in a coma at this point.

She did not die, but continued to live, defying all the doctor's expectations. She came out of her coma, regained her mobility, was restored to strength and fully recovered.

She stood before me beaming with joy and love as she told her story.

She explained that she did not understand how the recovery was happening, but knew something very spiritual was occuring in her life.

She recounted that during this recovery, she experienced a mass purging of darkness from her thinking. She said that all kinds of hate, resentment, and fear from decades of her past melted away. It was an incredible transformation, she impressed me with. She became a whole new person from the inside out, she stated. All the darkness vanished, and she couldn't even identify with it anymore.

As she told me about this transformation, a brother-in-law standing nearby pointed at her and said, "You can see it in her face. She never used to look like this." And she was glowing with joy, love and purity, as she talked to me.

She said that after getting out of the hospital and thinking it all through, she could then see that she had a spiritual healing. The evil inside was wiped out, and the body was freed.

Even to this day, the doctors are befuddled and can't figure out what happened.

And we agreed, the doctors haven't figured it out yet, because they're looking into matter for an answer, and the answer can only be found in thought where the real improvement occurred first.

Glory be to God in the highest! Prayer heals. Never give up! There's always hope, no matter what the doctors say.

Love is the most powerful healer in the world.
