The Ministry of Health and Healing
The humblest workers, in cooperation with Christ, may touch chords
whose vibrations shall ring to the ends of the earth and make melody
throughout eternal ages.
Heavenly intelligences are waiting to cooperate with human
instrumentalities, that they may reveal to the world what human
beings may become, and what, through union with the Divine, may
be accomplished for the saving of souls that are ready to perish.
There is no limit to the usefulness of one who, putting self aside,
makes room for the working of the Holy Spirit upon the heart and
lives a life wholly consecrated to God.
All who consecrate body, soul, and spirit to His service will
be constantly receiving a new endowment of physical, mental, and
spiritual power. The inexhaustible supplies of heaven are at their
command. Christ gives them the breath of His own Spirit, the life
of His own life. The Holy Spirit puts forth its highest energies to
work in mind and heart. Through the grace given us we may achieve
victories that, because of our own erroneous and preconceived opin-
ions, our defects of character, our smallness of faith, have seemed
impossible.
To all who offer themselves to the Lord for service, withholding
nothing, is given power to attain measureless results. For these men
and women, God will do great things. He will work upon their minds
[83]
so that, even in their mortal state, there shall be seen in their lives a
fulfillment of the promise of the future state.
“The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them;
And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;
It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice,
Even with joy and singing. ...
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Then the lame shall leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the dumb sing.
For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness,
And streams in the desert.
The parched ground shall become a pool,
And the thirsty land springs of water. ...
A highway shall be there, and a road,
