The Holy Spirit does not work by chance, and healing that is of Him always works. Unless the healer always heals by Him the results will vary. Yet healing itself is consistent, since only consistency is conflict-free, and only the conflict-free are whole. By accepting exceptions and acknowledging that he can sometimes heal and sometimes not, the healer is obviously accepting inconsistency. He is therefore in conflict, and is teaching conflict. Can anything of God not be for all and for always? Love is incapable of any exceptions. Only if there is fear does the idea of exceptions seem to be meaningful. Exceptions are fearful because they are made by fear. The “fearful healer” is a contradiction in terms, and is therefore a concept that only a conflicted mind could possibly perceive as meaningful. T-7.V.5:1-10

Jesus never condemned people for sinning, but He often would chastise them saying “Oh ye of little faith….” In the above passage Jesus tells us that when we work through the Holy Spirit healing always works. The barrier and obstacle interfering with healing is fear. When the healer is fearful, the healer is conflicted. When Carl Jung was asked if he believed in God, Carl is reported to have said something like “No, I don’t believe in God. I know there is God.” When we know, there is no room for belief. Belief at this point of knowing is irrelevant.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Truth is found in knowing, and knowing comes from the Holy Spirit. This knowing is an experience not an intellectual understanding. As St. Paul wrote in his letter to the Corinthians, “If God is with you, who can be against you?”
Today it is suggested that we be aware of our fears which interfere with our healing and master them and overcome them with the help of the Holy Spirit.
