Autism Healing and Deliverance

The torment of anger, aggression, and rage that accompanies autism spectrum disorder brings unspeakable suffering to both the child and their family. These symptoms are far from any definiton of good health – they represent an irregular and excessive response that often erupts over the smallest triggers. As a mother who has witnessed my own son’s complete healing and deliverance from these devastating symptoms, I can testify that these behaviors are NOT of God, nor are they simply “part of who the child is”.

This is an excerpt from book 2 of my Jesus Took Autism series

Anger, Aggression, and Rage

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty.

PROVERBS 16:32

Pour, Petition, and Praise

Father,

I cry out for my dear, (child’s name), for healing from anger, aggression, violence, destruction, self-hatred and rage. Whatever is out of order in his/her body that drives these issues, bring back into order and normal functioning. Though these issues are entirely sourced from the disorders and not my child, our family suffers terribly from these outbursts which are frightening and sometimes traumatizing for us. The aftereffects of this level of anger cause my child physical distress, anguish, and pain.

Almighty God, who heals all diseases [Psalm 103:3], I take You for Your Word and ask that You deliver my son/daughter from these afflictions. Isaiah 32:18 says, “My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.” We are Your people, and I ask that You bless our home according to Your Holy Word.

I thank You for Your powerful Word. You healed all who came to You, and Your Word says it was the multitudes – a countless number of people. I know I have what I ask for my child because healing is Your will and why You came in the flesh [Isaiah 53:4-6] in Jesus’ name, amen.

Retake the Land

I speak God’s living Word to you (child’s name) and say you are slow to anger [Proverbs 16:32], your hands and body are used for the glory of the Lord to bless and not curse, to do good and not harm, to build and not tear down in Jesus’ name, amen. [end of excerpt]

Let me be clear – there is nothing natural or acceptable about a family having to walk on eggshells in their own home, never knowing what might trigger an episode of out of control, irrational anger or aggression. Traditional parenting approaches and discipline strategies that work for children with healthy minds devoid of disorder and captivity are most often ineffective, as the reasoning capacity is affected by the disorder itself.

What grieves my heart most deeply is that these rages and aggressive outbursts are actually a form of torment for our children. Many of them don’t want to act this way. They feel trapped in behaviors they can’t control, only to be crushed afterwards by self-inflicted guilt and shame over their actions. This cycle of torment stands in direct opposition to our Father’s nature and will.

Our God is the One who calms storms. He is the Author of peace and order, not chaos and destruction. When we see these symptoms through His eyes, we recognize them as works of the enemy that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. They must bow to the name of Jesus.

I share this message with burning conviction – complete healing and deliverance from irrational anger, aggression, and destructive rage is not only possible, but it is our children’s blood-bought right through the finished work of Christ. Freely we have received. Freely we give. The same God who calmed the raging sea can bring peace to our children’s minds and restore order to our homes, and praise God, they are His express will found in His Holy Word.

Let us boldly take hold of His promises and refuse to accept these tormenting symptoms as normal or inevitable. Our Good Father has provided the way for total freedom through Jesus Christ.
