spiritual law that says to the grave, “Where is thy victory?”
What if the lungs are ulcerated? God is more to a man than his lungs; and the less matter we have, the more immortality we possess. Spirit constructs a better body, when it has conquered our fears of matter.
Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition that is to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith and the purer our love. The apostle says, “There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear. . . . He that feareth is not made perfect in Love.”
If the lungs are disappearing, this is but one of the beliefs of mortal mind. Mortal man will be less mortal, when he learns that lungs never sustained Life, and can never destroy God who is our Life. When this is understood, man will be more Godlike.
When you have more faith in Truth than you have in error, — because you understand it, — more faith in Spirit than in matter, more faith in God than in the doctor, then no material condition can prevent Truth from healing the sick and destroying error.
Change your material belief by your spiritual, and understanding and Spirit will form you anew. You will never fear again, — except to offend God, — and will never believe that lungs, or any portion of the body, can destroy Life.
The evidence of man's immortality will become more apparent, as mortal trusts are given up, and the immortal facts of being are admitted. What I have stated is proved by my own recovery, and the recovery of many others, upon the sole basis of Christian Science.
