Speaking notes:
Do you have a magic feather?
The Disney movie Dumbo is about an elephant that can fly.
Here’s the scene where he gets the confidence:
Later Dumbo learns the truth. The feather is not magic.
There is a phenomenon called the placebo effect.
You can have the benefits of a drug even without taking the drug.
Your belief will create the outcomes.
Drug trials – placebo even creates side effects.
Placebo is a fake drug. It’s a magic feather.
It’s your belief and expectation that produce the results.
Now that you know this I want you to listen to a commercial for a patch that is said to give you pain relief.
Commercial
I believe this patch is a magic feather.
Your belief and expectation is what gives you the the pain relief.
Midievel times – “relics” (bones of the saints, wood from the true cross of Jesus)
The same effect – a placebo.
Clarification: I believe in divine healing. I’ve experienced it myself and seen others healed.
God’s power is real.
But God also created us in his image. And God put a power at work inside us that brings about what you expect and what you say.
This is where the power of the placebo effect comes from.
And the truth is that you don’t need a patch or a pill to access the placebo effect.
