Joshua at the age of 3 he was diagnosed with autism then he was healed. today's date 18 April 2003

Dear Pastor Jerry:
I am so glad this forum is here so that I can give God the glory for what he has done!
(please forgive me for it being so long and the grammer and spelling errors. I am typing most of this with my daughter on my lap)

Our first born son came into our arms on Sept. 22, 1999.   His name is Joshua Daniel. He was a normal baby except for some colic issues and seemed stressed all the time. At 15 months old he begin to change. He withdrew into himself. The words and ways to communicate that he used before, now seemed to fall away. Now all he did was grunt, drum on furniture and other toys. He stopped looking us in the eyes. I dug into research. I learned a lot about Autism, and it's connections with Vaccinations and enviromental polution. He was never vacinated so I knew that wasn't a issue with him. At the age of 22 months, he still wasn't saying a word, nor playing with toys. He was in his own world. The only thing that seemed to draw him out a little where Gaither Vocal Band music Videos and the Brookland Tabernacle Videos we had. He would sit there for hours... literally HOURS and drum on his little toddler drum to the music. He was quite good I might add.   At two years old his little sister was born and I was hoping this might help him as well, to have a playmate. The doctors and therapists didn't give me much hope. But our hope was in the Lord! Every night I would put Joshua to bed with a story and song and a prayer for his healing. Then one night I felt impressed from the Lord to start thanking Him for healing Joshua. And that was during some of the worst parts of his behaivior. It was becoming somewhat violent. The tantrums would last over a hour and a half.   And there would be no consoling him. I would bind everything I knew to out of him, I often cried with him. For those of you who know what it is like to be at home all day with a toddler, let alone one with special needs, I am sure you can relate.

Well, one day, my pastor called me up. He told me he was in prayer for us that morning and told me that Joshua was going to be just fine. I wish I could tell you I was filled with tremendous faith, but at that time I wanted to know if I was going to go crazy during this time or not!

When Joshua turned 3 years old, we had him evaluated so that he could go to a special pre-school in our area. He was far below all the "norms" averaged 15 to 24 months in almost all skills.   But at bedtime I kept thanking God for his healing. one night I looked him in the eyes and without really knowing why I said " Joshua, you are a normal little boy!" Just then he jumped out of bed and began screaming at the top of his lungs! I knew I had hit on something. So I positioned myself to spiritual warfare prayers. And did something else that made a lot of people upset and cofused. I canceled all his therapies and appoinments for that winter.

Joshua will be 4 this September. And in the last 7 months, he has started talking in sentances, he looks me in the eye, and calls me Mommy! (he did that for the first time a month after I stopped his therapy) The drumming which used to be 99% of his play has now dropped to maybe 1 %. He plays with toys now alone and with other children, loves to imagine things, builds with his blocks, all in all he is a normal little boy!!

I just had him evaluated again by the school district and they say his scores are so improved, they are wondering how accurate the last test they gave him was! They can't deny the change, and they are asking me what we have done. Most think it must be a diet change, or a new form of therapy, but I tell them it's the power of God and prayer. The school phycologist who diagnosed him with Autism told me blushingly... "well I think we have made a mistake".   I told him he has met a miracle. And that even he can not deny.
Joshua is sensitive to the annointing, and when I have annointed preaching on a video on the television he will sit there for the entire time to watch it. He still loves music and has a good beat, but he isn't in his own little world anymore. He smiles, laughs, gets into trouble like all little boys do. He says please, and thankyou, and sorry when it's appropriet.   He knows all his numbers up to 20 and all his letters by sight and can even write his name!   (Can you tell I am a proud mommy!) I boast in the things the Lord has done. Thank you for reading my testimony and I hope it blesses you. God is faithful! And in our weakness he is made strong!

ps.. I am going to try to attach a file of a picture of Joshua. This is him right after his third birthday.

The headlines in the newspaper should read.

Child Healed of Autism!
.

Do you know how many parents are suffering with that demon.

This is one of the most wonderful testimonies this week.

Let's just praise the Lord.
Thank you Jesus for all you have done.
Satan is defeated one more time.

Look at the power of her words.
Joshua you are NORMAL

And the Lord said: "so shall it be, according to thy words:"
Then the bible said and the Lord did according to your words.

Did you know almost every child with autism that has been around this ministry has been healed.

What a faith builder! Notice how people got mad when she stopped taking Joshua to the therapists? I personally belive that the devil himself works through many therapists to impart fear and unbelief, although many well meaning psychs are not aware of this at all.

How many young men in particular would be set free today if someone had the guts to tell them that Jesus already paid the price for their sins, so they can quit going to "Mental Health" !!!

Thank you Lord Jesus for little Joshua. By your grace, we belive that he WILL NOT become another MEDICATED STATISTIC!!!!! May he grow up to become a mighty warrior in Christ, and set others free from their afflictions. Bless that courageous mom! May she be an incredible incouragement to thousands of parents to believe "our report" and not the enemy's. In Jesus Name!!! Amen!
