I am surprised and uncomfortable with the assumption of the necessity to resign oneself to status quo when it is a child who is needing healing, especially with learning issues. An older person, facing a grave illness, usually as a result of a lifetime of wrong choices will pursue healing -- with vigor -- through medicine, through improved lifestyle, and through miraculous means. Some retired people follow Benny Hinn around. RVs camp like a city around his meeting places. Okay, but what happens when their grandchild appears to have some trouble? Why be resigned then? This lie: "it is only genetic" rears up and people bow down. Poppycock! It doesn't even make sense. Oh, cancer is just genetic. Why then is there a significant increase in the younger population? Why are there geographic patterns? Oh, autism is ... well you just can't help it. Why then is there an increase from 3 in 10,000 children in the 1950s to 1 in 166 or more today? Rubbish! And even if something is genetic -- so what? Is God not about the genes?
I'm finding the parents of children with special needs need to hear about the possibility of healing. I am finding even my dearest sisters in the Lord, whom I would most expect to know about healing, need to be reminded about healing. I am finding I need to publish this with all the force I can. So, I will be posting about healing.
Be invited to write back. Thanks. SS

God always wants to heal you. We know this from Jesus work on the cross, his death and resurrection.
“Surely/ firmly/truly, we know that He bore our sickness and carried away our pain.” Isaiah 53: 4 (translated literally from Hebrew)
Not only is this plain Hebrew, but also we know this is the correct interpretation of the Isaiah scripture, for it is quoted in Matthew, clearly in the context of healing:
Matthew 8:16&17
And when evening had come, they brought to Him any who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill
17 in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, “He himself took our infirmities, and carried away our disease.”
We know also from I Peter 2:24: “By His wounds you were healed.” The context is indeed, total healing, not just bodily, but the wider of the chapters is one of complete practicality. Peter is dealing with common, everyday matters, not things that could be figurative or vague. It is evident that Peter is alluding to Isaiah 53 : no guile, relived not again and then in v 24 “ who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed, v 25 For y were as sheep going astray, but are now returned unto the Shepherd and the Bishop of you souls.
We are completely made whole. Bodily healing is included in our overall healing.
It is a sure, and firm word, witnessed to by three scriptures.
And by many many who have believed and received.
Take your stand on the sure word of God. Every word is sure. Your salvation is sure, if you have receive and believed. Now received the rest of your salvation, the rest of your healing, the salvation of your body.
It is the plain word of God, witnessed to and explained – clearly and succinctly. Therefore I recommend simply sitting and soaking in these verses. Why keep arguing when God has spoken? The thing to do is to bring mind into alignment with what you should now know. Reread, meditate, study out these scriptures. Satisfy yourself. I think you will find it clear.
