A testimony I read in the book "Spiritual Healing in a Scientific Age," by Robert Peel. A C.S. couple decided to adopt a new born baby, against the prognosis of the doctors, who had diagnosed the child as having no chances for survival, with brain damage and a very sick body.
I just write it down from memory. So now what? Instantaneous healing? No, they slugged it out, 24/7, for many years, and the child kept improving and healing, bit by bit, victory after victory, until the healing was complete when it is was a teenager. Their unflinching trust in God, good, brings tears to my eyes.
I don´t know if it has any bearing on Adam and fallen man, but I just need to share it.

Re: a testimony
Such are who come with their whole heart; to know and love God. They didn't care how long it took because their motive was pure; just to seek God. It touches the heart!

Re: a testimony
To me this beautiful healing definitely has something to do with the lesson, Adam and the Fallen Man. The Doctor was looking to matter which "could afford him no aid", thus he gave up. Fortunately the parents did not accept this lie and relied totally on God for help. In Science in Health on page 444 line 9 we read, "Step by Step will those who trust Him find that, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." The healing of this child is proof positive our God will never fail us! These trusting parents knew this and I am sure were so grateful for the "step by step" progress they were seeing. Thank you for sharing this Florence.

Re: a testimony
The thanks goes to Jacob who started this thread! I was expressing how it touches me and the good it does in showing how one who comes to find God and trust Him keeps going even when "the storm keeps roaring."
Hymn 148 says: The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me
And can I be dismayed?
Your gaze is on something more precious, understanding God and seeing your true self which has none of what error is presenting(in belief).

Re: a testimony
The couple in the Testimony certainly didn't live in the" Adam dream" and give me courage to be more "pure in heart" in order to see God lived in such an awesome way as they demonstrated. This testimony also makes me humbly lower me head.
