I just thought I’d share a lovely healing that happened. A visitor to a lecture in ShreveportLA last spring called me to pray for her daughter who was suffering from severe depression and suicidal. The woman who called is a clinical psychologist and works with depression but couldn’t help her daughter and feared for her life. She had remembered the lecture and decided to call me as a last hope. I shared a few truths including there is a law of good, God operating in your life and prayed. She’s called back several times to tell me what remarkable things have happened.
They stayed up all night with their daughter that first night, and in the morning she said she saw a glimmer of light. Within a day or so the depression had lifted. She felt she could rely on God as good. The mom waited several days to call me to make sure the change had really happened, which it had.
The brother was so impressed he wanted to hear more about Christian Science, which the mom shared with him the same truths. He said those truths turned his thought around and he regained the faith that he had lost when he went to college. He works with abused children and said this truth would help the children he worked with.
The mom is going out to buy Science and Health. She said that I had no idea how far reaching an effect this spiritual truth was having, and that she was so grateful for the lecture.

Warrenton-Leesburg VA lecture
Warrenton-Leesburg VA
Buchanon Hall
The Possibilities of Prayer
On a warm sunny Sunday afternoon in the middle of Virginia horse country near exclusive Upperville, folks poured into Buchanon Hall. The hall was packed with extra chairs being set up until the start of the talk. There were children and infants listening to the lecture and playing on the lawn outside. The doors were open so some kids and adults rotated between listening and supervising play. Some of the sponsors said it was the largest crowd they’d ever had at a lecture, around 130. Six Science and Healths were sold and lots of free literature taken. Visitors and others talked with me for an hour afterward, sharing their experiences and how the ideas from the talk helped them. This church arranged a radio interview which was aired before the lecture. The interviewer was exceptional, asking interesting and probing questions which brought out substantive replies. The interview will be posted soon on my website www.elisemoore.com under Washington DC radio interview.

Omaha fruitage
Fruitage – Omaha
The Possibilities of Prayer
They had 50 seats set up but immediately set up another 25. Almost all the seats were filled with a carload coming from Sioux City Iowa, and a van of people coming from the local homeless shelter. There were a number of children, perhaps 6 or more of Sunday School age. Two of them came to and participated in the lecture prep. This branch has a member who works at a social service agency and is developing a children’s program on their good qualities. She especially enjoyed the lecture. Several of the homeless folks specifically thanked me for the lecture and began to take notes during most of it. Most of the attendees were taking notes and reading along in the Bible when we were reading Bible references. There was a lot of participation from the beginning when I asked about how everyone prayed. Visitors and members alike shared ways in which they prayed. They really got into this. Lots of free literature was taken including materials in Spanish. The church gave a Science and Health to each of the homeless folks who came. There was a lot of enthusiasm at this lecture. It touched some people who were tearing up at the end and while talking to me. Love is meeting the needs of each one of these dear ones. A special treat for me was that two pupils were there. One whom I haven’t seen for 6 years drove 3 hours one way. It was so foggy when he started in the morning he almost turned back, but then decided he really wanted to attend the lecture. The fog lifted, physically and mentally. We had lunch together and he was seeing how he could make the time and priority to begin reading the Bible Lesson again, and perhaps even attend church. The Christ at work!
The other student drove even further but seemed satisfied that we couldn’t have lunch together.
It was a lovely event full of inspiration. The church members made a comment that this was the largest attendance for a lecture prep as well. Almost all the members attended.

Ideas from lecture help in legal case
Thank you again for the lecture. It was extremely clear and understandable and helpful1 My husband was nodding his head at different points and I thought that was neat.
Anyway, later on that evening I was talking to one of my friends who I had invited to the lecture. She hadn't come because she was getting ready for a deposition of her client that was to be held first thing Monday morning. The other side and his attorney appeared to be engaging in deceptive activity and even though my friend's client was the aggrieved party, my friend was very concerned that it was possible that if her client got emotional that the deposition would be messed up and justice might not be done.
My friend asked me to pray for her. I thought immediately as she was asking me, "how should I pray?", and the words came to mind "be not afraid of their faces" I agreed to pray for my friend and asked her if that phrase had any meaning for her and she said no. I thought it was from the Bible and I looked it up and was amazed at how appropriate it and the following verses were as I don't remember reading it before. I called her back and read it to her. We talked briefly about it, I prayed with the ideas in the passage- Jeremiah 1:1-7 or 8 I think and thought about the last two beatitudes. When I felt ok I stopped and went to bed. In the morning, I was grateful that what I knew the night before was still true.
My friend told me last night what had happened- she said the ideas in the Bible passage calmed her down and she finished getting ready- which involved prayer on her end also. The next day, her client was very nervous and scared- in this case the father is attempting to take their child from her and his parents are giving him money for lawyers- my friend shared the bible passage with her and she calmed down.
The deposition went so well that the other side said they decided they were going to drop the case and try to settle. The two attorneys are now working on a settlement. The other side's attorney lied to my friend once already so she is preparing for trial just in case but she was absolutely thrilled as to the outcome of the deposition and definitely credits prayer with that outcome. We talked more about the beatitudes, and about what you mentioned regarding those last two. We both enjoyed the conversation and I know she feels more confident.
This was a wonderful experience for me too. I have been wanting to know how to pray more effectively and I feel like my prayers are being answered. I have plenty of opportunity for prayer every day so I am practicing machete v helicopter- so far very helpful!
Thank you again!

Huntsville TX prison
Your sentinel article on breaking the hold on addiction is really outstanding. We had our service at the Prison and one of the Prisoners had read it and was talking about it. You met him when you lectured here in Conroe, Texas last January. It is the Huntsville Prison in Huntsville, Texas.
[Note: Another prisoner heard excerpts from your lecture from those who attended. He's now become interested in Christian Science after his release from prison.]
The law of good operating in our lives, that you make so clear in that article, are so useful and supportive of anyone who is seeking to know God better and bring these laws into focus to use.

Spanish lecture in Irving TX
Fruitage – Irving Texas
Thursday Sept 16, 2009
Spanish Senior Center
Irving TX
La Oracion Efectiva y La Salud
More than 20 Spanish speakers gathered to hear this lecture. There was an amazing Christ atmosphere. The audience participated, took notes and was intensely focused on the message. Afterward several people shared healings with me that they have had through the power of God, including healing others. This group already knows the power of God to heal and many of them pray daily for themselves and others. They were very interested in additional spiritual ideas and Bible references. At the end, 29 Science and Healths and Bibles were taken, as some people wanted to bring the books to friends or relatives who weren’t able to attend.
Prior to the lecture, the chair sent me this note…
I just visited with Yolanda (the director of La Voz Del Anciano) on the phone. She said this talk from you couldn't come at a better time. Their group is going through some very stressful and difficult situations and need comforting.
They've had to move out of their building and have temporary quarters at the nearby Recreation Center. And sadly one of their clients has passed away, and then last week there was a serious senior bus accident in which one lady was killed and others injured.
I shared with her that no one is ever separated from the love of God, not even after death. Life continues and we're always in God's loving care. She nearly cried. She was so grateful and said she should call me often.
This was a very successful event in terms of reaching newcomers with the healing Christ message. Everyone present will tell at least 2 other people about Christian Science and an inspiring thought. That means that more than 70 Spanish speakers will hear about Christian Science and Christ healing through the efforts of the church and the lecture.
