Resist evil — error of every sort — and it will flee from you.
~ Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 406
If mortal mind comes knocking at the door of thought with suggestions of disease, fears to worry about, or reasons to feel anxious, resist them mightily with spiritual truth until they flee. They will.
There is no power from God backing up fear or disease. They are vanities of mortal mind that flee in the presence of Truth.
Stick with Truth. Side with Truth. Argue Truth’s position. Stand with Truth and Truth will stand with you.
When mortal mind sees there is no audience paying attention to its arguments, it stops talking. It gives up and leaves the premises.
As the apostle James writes, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). Resist evil of every sort, and live free of its influence. It’s a much happier way to live.
AMEN & AMEN. THANK U Evan
A victim does nothing.. by doing nothing he surrenders.
When we resist very thought unlike God, Truth will always be the victor..
A wonderful article to share: Resist, Insist, and Persist by Betty E. Thompson in the June 15, 1957 Sentinel to support what Evan has shared. Thank you for that very timely sharing today Evan.

Here is the link from the Christian Science Sentinel. Thank you, Ellen.
I rejoice in a way when I see evil or thoughts other than God come forth to be seen and dissolved. Sometimes on a national scale. No need to get sucked in. You cannot straighten that ‘snake’.
