Rise in the strength of Spirit

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    “Rise in the conscious strength of the spirit of Truth to overthrow the plea of mortal mind, alias matter, arrayed against the supremacy of Spirit.” (citation 14)
    “…rise to the true consciousness of Life as Love,…” (citation 15)
    “Rise in the strength of Spirit to resist all that is unlike good.” (citation 16)

    “Rise” – to leave the place of sleep; to ascend, move upward; to get up to an erect posture; to swell in quantity or extent; to shine forth. (Webster, 1828 Dictionary)

    I love these statements from Science and Health. We’ve been taught here that these are not passive statements, but commands of God given to us through Mrs. Eddy. The only way we can fulfill these commands is by turning whole-heartedly – consciously – to God, Spirit. This turning to God, Spirit, wakes me from the sleep of mortal mind, lifts up and inspires my thought, enables me to stand in my true stature as God’s idea, swells my thought with all the power of Truth, and thus God’s healing power shines forth. These promising and encouraging commands of Truth help me hold on, and turn whole-heartedly, to God in every situation. I thank practitioner for turning me often to these commands, and thank you to the writer of this Lesson-Sermon.
