“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh,” (Matthew 19:5).
A few days ago I was at the grocery store and saw a young man around 15 years old who appeared to have autism spectrum disorder holding onto his mother’s arm whilst his two sisters appeared in good health/independent. It grieved me seeing an almost man-sized boy dependent upon his mother – not free!
Then yesterday, my son expressed his strong desire to marry and be a father. Hallelujah! I know this is the result of MANY prayers of faith and the seeds I have been planting in his heart such as “Why would I want to embrace autism for you? I want to see you marry, have children, have a life, and be independent of me.”
I don’t get my worth and value in my son “needing me”. My worth, identity, and in value are in Jesus Christ alone. So yesterday when my son said, “I don’t want to be chained to my mother for the rest of my life. I want to marry, be a father, and have a life that’s not dependent upon you,” I rejoiced. The context of the conversation was good and positive. I replied back to him that, “I agree with you. I want those things for you too, and I have prayed for your dreams to come to pass.”
I knew his words were a work the Lord has been doing in his heart because of my many, many prayers on his behalf, and because I have lovingly spoken words to my son that said I want far more for him than the limitations autism spectrum disorder is trying to dictate for his life, health, and future: “I want you to marry. I want you to be a father. I don’t want you stuck with your mother, dependent upon me. I want you healthy, whole, and well. Why would any mother want their child to be dependent upon them for their entire life?” And he saw my heart and agreed that mothers would want to see their children marry, become parents, etc.
The Word of God IS the power to heal our children, and it is legally backed by the Name, Power, Spirit, and Blood of Jesus Christ who finished the Father’s work 2000 years ago. His Report won’t return unto Him void when we mix our faith with it!
