A sure word of prophecy

on 1—Healing Power and Its Source

Nature the Servant of God

The material world is under God’s control. The laws that govern all nature are obeyed by nature.Everything speaks and acts the will of the Creator. The clouds, the rain, the dew, the sunshine, the showers, the wind, the storm, all are under the supervision of God, and yield implicit obedience to Him who employs them. The tiny spear of grass bursts its way through the earth, first the blade, then the ear, and then the full corn in the ear. The Lord uses these, His obedient servants, to do His will.—Letter 131, 1897. MM 7.1

Christ the Life and Light

Christ, who created the world and all things that are therein, is the life and light of every living thing.—Testimonies for the Church 6:182. MM 7.2

In Jesus is our life derived. In Him is life, that is original, unborrowed, underived life. In us there is a streamlet from the fountain of life. In Him is the fountain of life. Our life is something that we receive, something that the Giver takes back again to Himself. If our life is hid with Christ in God, we shall, when Christ shall appear, also appear with Him in glory. And while in this world we will give to God, in sanctified service, all the capabilities He has given us.—Letter 309, 1905. MM 7.3
