Excerpt from Chapter III titled "I Go Forth Adventuring"

When my early discoveries in prayer first came out in book form in The Soul's Sincere Desire, I was besieged by requests from all over the country for prayers for healing of the sick. At first I shrank from asking God to harness his giant Niagara of the Spirit to their little mill wheels of the body. But one day after spending hours over the New Testament it dawned upon me that two thirds of Jesus' reported act were acts of healing, and from that time forward I consented to pray for the body as well as for the soul. But I did lay down one condition— that discipline of the mind and heart and soul should always precede the prayer for the body. For I agree completely with Dr. Loren T. Swaim of Boston who wrote me, "I think there are too many miracles demanded without any real disciplined living or real hard work behind them. When Jesus found the real faith plus the disciplined living and a responsible person, He could cure at once. I think sometimes we have to be prepared to be cured, so that it is really worth while doing it." Having made this discovery and having laid down this condition I at once decided that before I started disciplining others I had better start disciplining myself. This chapter, therefore, shall be the story of how I disciplined myself.

Excerpt from Chapter IX Baths of Healing. This chapter has certain health conditions listed with meditations from the previous chapter titled Rivers of Healing. I copied the information and meditaions for Pneumonia.

Pneumonia: There is no fear or discouragement in heaven, no thoughts of self of any kind. Man's breathing is the spontaneous activity of the love of God and the life of the Holy Spirit, always perfect and joyous, for man is the Son of God and God is always breathing through love made manifest in man. Read 6, 20, 21 22, 23, 33

6. Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part Thou wilt make me to know wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that my heart which is cast down may rejoice. Hide Thy face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Ps. 51:6-10)

"He That Dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High"

20. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty,
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in whom I trust.
Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
And from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his pinions,
And under His wings shalt thou take refuge:
His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

21. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
Though A thousand fall at thy side,
And ten thousand at thy right hand;
It shall not come nigh thee.

22. Because thou hast made the LORD,
Even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee,
Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
To keep thee in all thy ways.
Upon their hands they shall bear thee,
Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.

23. Even because he hath set his love upon me, saith the Lord, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him, and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him,
And shew him my salvation.

Psalm 91

33. Be still, and know that I am God. (Ps 46;10) Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee because he thrusteth in Thee. (Isa. 26:3) Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27) For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy one of Israel; in returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. (Isa. 30:15) My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. (Ex 33:14)
