and he was teaching in one of the synagogues
on the sabbath and behold there was a woman which had a
spirit of infirmity eighteen years and was bowed together and couldn't
always lift up herself and when jesus saw her
he called her to him and said unto her woman thou art loosed from thine
infirmity and he laid his hands on her and immediately she was made straight
and glorified god and the ruler of the synagogue answered
with indignation because that jesus had healed on the
sabbath day and said unto the people there are six
days in which men ought to work in them therefore come and be healed
and not on the sabbath day the lord then answered him and said thou hypocrite
doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his
donkey from the stall and lead him away to watering and not
not this woman being a daughter of abraham whom satan
had bound lo these 18 years he loosed from this
bond on the sabbath day that's the 13th
chapter of luke 10 to the 16th verse
and these cassettes are also in book form
how to use your healing power the meaning of the healings in the new
testament it based upon a class i gave last year
1975 where we discussed the miraculous
healings recorded in the new testament and explained how the same principles
and methods can be applied by every individual
who could be yourself to correct any discordant physical or mental or
financial condition
you can also use it it's written in simple language
it explains how you can help yourself or you can use these great truths
which have which are eternal really but the truth is the same yesterday today
and forever the healing power didn't start a couple
of thousand years ago the healing power was never born will never die
because the healing power is the god presence and god was never born and will
never die healings go on all the time you know the
healings taking place in england by the laying on of
hands by harry edwards many others these things have gone on since as
far back as we can go healing by the laying on offense has gone on for
countless generations practiced in the roman catholic church episcopal church
practiced by spirit spiritualists and many many others
i've seen some remarkable healings performed in that manner
some say they are gifted in their hands or healing hands
of course if they believe that they have this divine gift of healing it has done
unto them as they believe but everybody in the world has the gift
of healing for the infinite healing presence is within you
god indwelled you you may not be using it but it's there
the truth of the matter is that all of us have that gift of healing
that's why you stir up the gift of god within you
it is not a divine prerogative bestowed on the few
because god indwells all men i am god and there is no god beside me
i said dear gods and all of you are sons of the most high
the healing presence is operating within you 24 hours a day
did you ever consider all the cuts bruises and scratches you experienced
when young did you notice an infinite intelligence
at work it formed thrombin in the cut closed it
up gave you new cells formed little bridge
there and the intelligence within you created
new skin a new tissue and the complete healing took place you
had hundreds and hundreds of healing since
you were born this happened in all probability without
you being aware of it the intelligence within is constantly
renewing your body faith causes the healing power to speed
up tremendously so much so that you can experience an
instantaneous healing through expectancy and faith and belief
as a matter of fact a great number of churches of all denomination
denominations practice to lay on offense we are told the woman in the bible story
was healed on the sabbath day many practice the sabbath from a literal
standpoint thinking it is a sin to drive a nail on
the sabbath or do the work of any kind all this of course is absurd some go to
extremes and won't even handle money on the
sabbath all this is absolutely meaningless
the sabbath is an inner stillness an inner certitude
whereby man reminds himself of the availability of the god presence in all
emergencies at all times everywhere it means to rest
in god the sabbath is that inner conviction
that inner certitude of yours at your prayer is answered
it's the interval of time between the impregnation and its manifestation or
objectification and then you are in the sabbath you have
no further desire to pray about it it's the inner silent knowing of the soul
you're walking in the sabbath when you accept in your mind that your prayer is
answered when you meditate and pray and succeed
in reaching the point of inner peace then your prayer is answered you've
reached the seventh day the seventh hour which psycholo
psychologically means the moment of conviction that's
why the seventh hour he was healed is not the seventh hour of the day it has
nothing to do with time it's the point of mental acceptance and
conviction within you that's the seventh hour
your inner conviction that inner church at you
the silent knowing of the soul you're in the sabbath when your heart is aflame
with the glory of the infinite and the certainty certainty of his
response at that moment you will experience an
instantaneous divine transfusion of energy
power vitality and life we must realize that external acts
ritual ceremonies and conforming to rights precepts and
ordinances of some organization or church is not
real religion or true worship a man may observe all
the rules and regulations of his church and at the same time violate all the
laws of god in his heart he could go to church every
day of the week and yet be very unreligious
we must become aware of the fact that the only change that matters
is the internal change the change of the heart where you have
actually fallen in love with spiritual values
for religion is of the heart not of the lips
your religion is what you do it's your life is based upon your actions
it's based upon your relationship with people for the word religion means
re-back and lead you by bind are you bound
to love to peace or harmony to joy or you're bound to the source of all life
which is gone are you bound by the conviction that you
honor the infinite in the land of the living
and that you believe in the goodness of god in the land of the lord
the joy of the lord which is your strength and that the will of the
infinite for you is a greater measure of life love truth and duty
something transcending your fondest dreams
if you have that kind of belief or conviction you have a wonderful religion
because when you have fallen in love which means an emotional attachment to
spiritual values then all fear enemies and sickness will
fall away when you walk in the conscious of peace
help happiness and good will you are in the sabbath all day long
you're in the sabbath when you feel and know that it is impossible for your
prayer to fail you are an unmoved undisturbed calm
serene and tranquil because you are carrying in your subjective mind a
divine impression a subconscious embodiment of your ideal
you know that there is always an interval of time between the subjective
embodiment and the objective manifestation
your inner certitude and imperturbability
is the sabbath and it was on the sabbath day
that she was healed
the ruler of the synagogue mentioned in the bible
means ruling thought or prevailing worldly
viewpoint our opinion it means the dominant id in your mind
uh i have a cassette by the way the wonders of the master thought you ought
to listen to it it tells you all about this ruling
thought in your mind and what it does to you
the ruling belief that conviction the synagogue is your mind
where the aggregation of thoughts feelings moods and opinions gather
jesus is always available which means that you're looking at your desire
you are really looking at jesus or your solution biblically speaking
or that which saves because if you were in prison freedom would be your savior
if you were very sick health would be your savior
if you were lost in the jungle the guiding principle within you would lead
you out for there is no man to lead you out
there is no man to save you and if you're hungry
food is your savior like the people now in guatemala
well american planes and of course doctors and nurses food
and all these things are going there they're lost out there in the jungle and
these helicopters will bring them food and water
and things they need and of course that saves their lives
and they probably get an injection too for prevent fevers and things of that
nature the woman who has the infirmity means
the feeling of weakness the depressed state of consciousness the
subjective belief in some crippling disease
the word woman means emotional nature the subjective side of life
whatever our disease it represents a negative pattern of thought
charged with emotion in our subliminal depths
the ruler of the synagogue represents the fear thoughts the doubts and
arguments which come to your mind trying to
dissuade you to turn away from the belief
in the one power which can do all things there is an argument in your mind and
you must psychologically slay these hypocritical thoughts by asking
them where they came from where does fear
come from it's a thought in your own mind does it belong there is there a
principle behind it is it just a shadow in your mind
is there a principle behind these thoughts
you have are they not shadows the fears also have no heavenly
credentials say where they come from what is the
source are they true did you ever sit down and
ask yourself the things you believe where they come
from are they real are they true are they logical
unreasonable unscientific do they insult the intelligence of a ten-year-old boy
who's studying a little chemistry or physics
so find out the origin of them and say will not believe anything that does not
conform to the eternal truth for truth never
changes it's the same yesterday today and
forever it has no label you can't put any label on truth
for god is truth i am the truth i am the way i am the life your own god
within you is the truth always the same yesterday today and
forever truth doesn't change take your attention away from the false
beliefs of the world and they die of neglect feast and gods
almighty power accepted imagine that you're being healed now
do this as often as necessary and you will experience the sabbath
or the fullness of acceptance then you will rise and walk
through the power of the almighty because you pictured yourself walking
doing all the things you would do you know the spirit can't be paralyzed
and then you say through the power of the almighty i'll walk for god walks and
talks in me it is then the sabbath day for you
