Devastating Loss Restored
FROM THE BIBLE (KJV,NIV, Message)
Joel 2:21,25 I will (to ,)
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.
I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten,
II Kings 8:1-6
1 Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, "Go
away with your family and stay for a while wherever you can, because the LORD
has decreed a famine in the land that will last seven years." 2 The woman
proceeded to do as the man of God said. She and her family went away and
stayed in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 At the end of the seven years she came back from the land of the Philistines
and went to the king to beg for her house and land. 4 The king was talking to
Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, and had said, "Tell me about all the great
things Elisha has done." 5 Just as Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had
restored the dead to life, the woman whose son Elisha had brought back to life
came to beg the king for her house and land. Gehazi said, "This is the
woman, my lord the king, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life." 6 The
king asked the woman about it, and she told him. Then he assigned an
official to her case and said to him, "Give back everything that belonged to her,
including all the income from her land from the day she left the country until now."
Ezek 34:11 (to ;),16 (to :)
For thus saith the Lord God;
I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and
will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick:
Ps 23:1 (to ;),3 (to :)
The Lord is my shepherd;
He restoreth my soul:
Matt 18:2 (to Jesus),3 said (to ,),11 the
And Jesus
said,
the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Matt 9:18-30 (to ;),32,33 (to :)
18While he was saying this, a ruler came and knelt before him and said, "My
daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live."
19Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.
20Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came
up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21She said to herself, "If I only
touch his cloak, I will be healed." 22Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart,
daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from
that moment.
23When Jesus entered the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the noisy
crowd, 24he said, "Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep." But they laughed at
him. 25After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the
hand, and she got up.
27As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have
mercy on us, Son of David!" 28When he had gone indoors, the blind men came
to him, and he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" "Yes, Lord," they replied.
29Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to
you"; 30and their sight was restored. …. 32While they were going out, a man
who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. 33And
when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke.
John 6:39 (to 2nd ,)
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given
me I should lose nothing,
John 16:15 (to :)
Everything the Father has is also mine.
I Cor 3:21 all
Everything is already yours as a gift

FROM MARY BAKER EDDY'S SCIENCE AND HEALTH WITH KEY TO THE
SCRIPTURES
162:16
Working out the rules of Science in practice, the author has restored health in
cases of both acute and chronic disease in their severest forms. Secretions have
been changed, the structure has been renewed, shortened limbs have been
elongated, ankylosed joints have been made supple, and carious bones have
been restored to healthy conditions. I have restored what is called the lost
substance of lungs, and healthy organizations have been established where
disease was organic. Christian Science heals organic disease as surely as it
heals what is called functional, for it requires only a fuller understanding of the
divine Principle of Christian Science to demonstrate the higher rule.
221:1
I knew a person who when quite a child adopted the Graham system to cure
dyspepsia. For many years, he ate only bread and vegetables, and drank nothing
but water. ….He passed many weary years in hunger and weakness, almost in
starvation, and finally made up his mind to die, having exhausted the skill of the
doctors, who kindly informed him that death was indeed his only alternative. At
this point Christian Science saved him, and he is now in perfect health without a
vestige of the old complaint.
226:22-13
I saw before me the sick, wearing out years of servitude to an unreal master in
the belief that the body governed them, rather than Mind.
The lame, the deaf, the dumb, the blind, the sick, the sensual, the sinner, I
wished to save from the slavery of their own beliefs and from the educational
systems of the Pharaohs, who to-day, as of yore, hold the children of Israel in
bondage. I saw before me the awful conflict, the Red Sea and the wilderness; but
I pressed on through faith in God, trusting Truth, the strong deliverer, to guide me
into the land of Christian Science, where fetters fall and the rights of man are fully
known and acknowledged.
I saw that the law of mortal belief included all error, and that, even as
oppressive laws are disputed and mortals are taught their right to freedom, so the
claims of the enslaving senses must be denied and superseded. The law of the
divine Mind must end human bondage, or mortals will continue unaware of man's
inalienable rights and in subjection to hopeless slavery, because some public
teachers permit an ignorance of divine power, — an ignorance that is the
foundation of continued bondage and of human suffering.
152:5
The author has endeavored to make this book the Aesculapius of mind as well as
of body, that it may give hope to the sick and heal them, although they know not
how the work is done. Truth has a healing effect, even when not fully understood.
136:1
Jesus established his church and maintained his mission on a spiritual
foundation of Christ-healing. He taught his followers that his religion had a divine
Principle, which would cast out error and heal both the sick and the sinning. He
claimed no intelligence, action, nor life separate from God. Despite the
persecution this brought upon him, he used his divine power to save men both
bodily and spiritually.
259:15
If man was once perfect but has now lost his perfection, then mortals have
never beheld in man the reflex image of God. The lost image is no image. The
true likeness cannot be lost in divine reflection.
302:3
It is impossible that man should lose aught that is real, when God is all and
eternally his. The notion that mind is in matter, and that the so-called pleasures
and pains, the birth, sin, sickness, and death of matter, are real, is a mortal
belief; and this belief is all that will ever be lost.
470:21-5
God is the creator of man, and, the divine Principle of man remaining perfect,
the divine idea or reflection, man, remains perfect. Man is the expression of
God's being. If there ever was a moment when man did not express the divine
perfection, then there was a moment when man did not express God, and
consequently a time when Deity was unexpressed — that is, without entity. If
man has lost perfection, then he has lost his perfect Principle, the divine Mind.
The relations of God and man, divine Principle and idea, are indestructible in
Science; and Science knows no lapse from nor return to harmony, but holds the
divine order or spiritual law, in which God and all that He creates are perfect and
eternal, to have remained unchanged in its eternal history.
208:20
Let us learn of the real and eternal, and prepare for the reign of Spirit, the
kingdom of heaven, — the reign and rule of universal harmony, which cannot be
lost nor remain forever unseen.
