When aiming for a healing goal, the key clicks when the power of Truth is recognized as the source of healing.<\/p>\n

Too often, our human minds get tricked into thinking the source of healing is a thing, person, or time. Maybe because it\u2019s easier for the human mind to believe in a thing, person, or time, rather than believe in and understand the power of Truth.<\/p>\n

For example, it\u2019s easier to believe a stove cooked our meal, a blow dryer dried our hair, and a battery charger charged our cell phone. But without electricity, nothing would happen.<\/p>\n

True, our healing may entail a thing, person, or time. It may include rest, prayer, healthier food, exercise, or a better job, however healing comes from the power of Truth.<\/p>\n

Truth is a power. This truth with a big T, is spiritual truth.<\/p>\n

Truth is the power behind<\/a> spiritual truths such as: Spirit is our substance; Life is ongoing; divine Mind is intelligence; we reflect divine Mind.<\/p>\n

The power of Truth, sometimes termed Christ in the Christian faith, is the umph behind healing. While we can appreciate<\/a> things, persons, or time, we don\u2019t want them to distract us away from acknowledging and living the power of Truth.<\/p>\n
