WE WILL NOT AGREE WITH WHAT GOD NEVER CALLED OUR CHILDREN
IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH…
AND WE WILL NOT AGREE WITH WHAT GOD NEVER CALLED OUR CHILDREN.
The world says accept it.
GOD SAYS JESUS STILL HEALS.
The world calls them autistic.
GOD CALLS THEM SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
The world says healing is harmful.
GOD SAYS HEALING IS THE CHILDREN’S BREAD.
“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’).”
Galatians 3:13 NKJV
Jesus healed them all. That includes autism.
(“When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.” Matthew 8:16 NKJV)
We will not bow to a culture that tells us to embrace what Jesus paid to redeem and heal.
IT’S ONLY CRAZY UNTIL THEY ARE HEALED.
During Autism Acceptance Month, I've reflected deeply on the balance between societal views on autism and my faith’s teachings. Many embrace acceptance, which is important, but I also believe in the power of healing as portrayed in scripture. Healing, as seen in biblical accounts, is not just physical but spiritual and emotional as well. Jesus healed many, demonstrating God’s ongoing love and grace. In my personal experience, choosing to see children first as sons and daughters of God, worthy of love and healing, shifts the perspective from limitations to possibilities. It's empowering to hold onto faith that God's healing is accessible and relevant today, just as it was in biblical times. While the world labels with diagnoses, we can choose to see beyond and hold onto hope that Jesus still heals in many forms. This perspective invites us to pray fervently and believe in miracles, while also supporting acceptance in society — not as a final endpoint but as a step in recognizing the full identity of children, including their spiritual worth and potential for healing. Embracing both acceptance and the belief in healing can bring a more compassionate, hopeful approach to autism. Moreover, joining communities that share #thebloodoverautism or #jesusstillheals has provided encouragement and strengthened my faith. It reminds us that healing is a continuous journey, involving prayer, love, and trust in God’s plan. Healing might look different for each child, and faith allows space for that mystery while standing firm in God’s promises. Acceptance and faith in healing are not mutually exclusive, and together they inspire a more complete narrative for those walking this journey.
