HOW IS HEALING ACCOMPLISHED?
III. THE FUNCTION OF THE TEACHER OF GOD
2 To them God’s teachers come, to represent another choice which they had forgotten. 2The simple presence of a teacher of God is a reminder. 3His thoughts ask for the right to question what the patient has accepted as true. 4As God’s messengers, His teachers are the symbols of salvation. 5They ask the patient for forgiveness for God’s Son in his own Name. 6They stand for the Alternative. 7With God’s Word in their minds they come in benediction, not to heal the sick but to remind them of the remedy God has already given them. 8It is not their hands that heal. 9It is not their voice that speaks the Word of God. 10They merely give what has been given them. 11Very gently they call to their brothers to turn away from death. “Behold, you Son of God, what life can offer you. 12Would you choose sickness in place of this?”
Alternative
In the previous paragraph, Jesus tells us that we cannot change the patient’s mind. Now he tells us how we can help. As a teacher of God, we stand for the truth and for the Alternative. We do not come to heal the sick, but simply to remind them of the remedy God has already given them and our certainty that they are still as God created them. We do this not with our hands or our voice. Our mind calls to their mind through the truth that is in both. We are symbols of salvation.
Essence
This is how I pray for people. I see the following characteristics in my brothers:
- Who they are.
- That pain and sickness are not real.
- That this is not God’s Will for His children and so it cannot be.
- Flawless children of God.
- The truth in their mind blazing into life, guiding them, comforting them and healing any remaining confusion in our mind.
- The essence of who we are and know that we are joined in perfect communion within the Mind of God.
I merely give what I have been given.
