Free from any evil influence

Beginning on page 158, we have the recounting of a healing of an eating disorder which involved a young girl’s extraordinary loss of weight.   It is told by the girl’s mother. This arresting statement stood out to me: “So I continued to pray, recognizing that our daughter was actually God’s child – always perfect, pure, and free from any evil influence” (my emphasis).  How good to see this truth pointed out.  And how clearly we are shown the mesmeric effect this error claims to affect, when we read of the breakthrough on page 159: “Suddenly one morning, our daughter woke to discover that her face and body were returning to normal.  She was also herself mentally and said she felt as if she had awakened from a dream.  She was happy and free for the first time in a year.”
