16 thoughts on “Report of physical healing from prayer”
AJ asked this question yesterday: “Thank you so much, Evan. I will listen more than once! One question… the girl whose ankle was healed… it’s a wonderful healing, of course, but the fact that she changed teachers tells me that the situation between her and her original teacher was not healed. How does one reconcile, or live with situations that are not healed?”
It’s a great question on relationships. Thoughts anyone?
Maybe in this situation, after praying, changing teachers was the best solution for both the student and the teacher.
we don’t determine what the healing looks like. For instance the wise men at Jesus birth were led to return home by another route n not to return n tell the king where the baby was. Error could not use the teacher to get to the student. A spiritual idea has not a single element of error n this Truth removes properly what is offensive. Jesus passed thru a crowd of angry people unharmed. the body is innocent, the student is innocent as is the teacher. Jesus told Pilate he could have no power over him except it be given from above. the battle is not ours, its God’s. etc. etc.
I agree with Marci. Sometimes a demonstration is harmony restored “in place” and sometimes it’s being removed from an inharmonious situation. In neither case should the inharmony ever be regarded as having been real, though.
Thanks J for your question and others for your responses. I remember my mom always declaring that prayer results in either the situation changing or you being lifted out of it. Once our thought has been spiritualized and we realize what is true from God’s perspective, then that is what we experience humanly–either through an improved situation or a being removed from it.
What an amazing healing and discovery of the thought that manifested itself as the immovable shoulder and arm but the healing happened with the restoration of the shoulder and arm ‘s movement to play tennis! A very strenuous and demanding game ! Thank you Evan!
To answer J . Sometimes the healing is separation because a person may not be receptive to the truth ..the separation is the healing …the courage to leave and break that mesmeric thought and environment.
Imho – Sometimes “mortal” mind/thinking is so pervasive, it tries to keep repeating
itself over and over, regardless how many times the truth – Truth of God’s child
is presented in our thoughts and we try to deny the erroneous. I agree, Sheree – it
does take courage to persistently say, “NO!” to mental suggestions that would Try
to continue to influence thought. Advertisements today are a perfect example.
To keep seeing and/or hearing them over and over is a sublimal way of digging in
to or trying to transform our thought if we are not alert to them and “stand porter”
to reject that way of thinking, which is matter based.
They continue to try to make a reality of what we “need” to buy to make us younger,
like a 20 something year old “perfect” model of what to wear, what to put on false
materiality, cosmetics, drugs, etc. to make us a “better” – looking or feeling mortal.
Most ads’ purpose is to detract from the child of God that we are, into believing we are
Lacking something or are not good enough the way we are, but need their mortal
product to make us into the group-think mortality – i.e. following the crowd’s way
of thinking.
Maybe we don’t need a new teacher, but need to listen to the one we have –
one Creator/God, who has made us perfect the way we are as a child of
Father/Mother Love.
Hi Robert, I’m guessing Evan is referring to his Daily Lift from 7/29/25. You can scroll down to “Recent Daily Lifts” from the above link to listen to it.
This was sooo good, Evan! I’ve listened to it and the Sentinel Watch Interview twice! It has helped so much in a healing I’ve been working on! Thank you! Thank you!
Hi Allen, I’m guessing Evan is referring to his Daily Lift from 7/29/25. You can scroll down to “Recent Daily Lifts” from the above link to listen to it.
Many thanks to Marci – Los Angeles, Robyn, L, Sheree and Angel for your loving and insightful responses to AJ. If you missed it, Kay also added a response to AJ on yesterday’s post.
Evan, thank you for your Sentinel Watch with David Brown. It was so good! And love that David Brown asks the questions everyone is thinking. 🙂
I love all the contributions given in response to Evan’s audio chat with David Brown. The demonstration was everything and every person is always in their right place, reflecting divine Principle. On p. 124 of Science and Health Mrs Eddy says,” They belong to divine Principle , and support the
equipoise of that thought-force, which launched the earth in its orbit and said to the proud wave, ‘Thus far and no father.”
Has anyone else been thinking about waves in the past 24 hours? Thank God , Principle, for correct PLACEMENT of ankles, assignments to classrooms, big waves, and everything else.
Evan, thank you so much for the Daily Lift and Sentinel Watch on healing. I heard both yesterday before tuning into SpiritView. I loved the message you and David gave with his questions and your insightful answers and great examples of healings. I also look forward to listening to it over and over.
All the comments, both today and yesterday, are appreciated. Another thing I thought when J’s question was put forth was the fact that God does not always answer our prayers in the way we expect, but he does answer them in the time and way that is best. The answers to that question were well thought out and stated. Thank you all again.

When I click this link I get a Daily Lift by Ethel Baker which doesn’t seem to correspond to the other comments.

Hi Allen,
I fixed the link so it goes directly to my Daily Lift now. Thanks for letting me know.
