 and I detach him from autism and every diagnosis put upon him and I declare on three every spirit attached to what she renounced every spirit of autism and mental sickness must leave in Jesus name one two three in our secular culture today it is hard enough convincing people that Christianity is more than a fairy tale but with the help of people like this lady that I'm going to show you our task is becoming significantly harder today I'm going to show you a video of a self-proclaimed healer and apostle a lady that tries to heal a young boy of autism this is heartbreaking just really disturbing stuff we're going to talk about manipulation and how it is utilized here and how we should respond to this content and to these people from a biblical perspective before we jump into the video I just want to give a huge shout out to everyone on patreon thank you so much guys for supporting what I'm doing here our goal is to get to 400 patrons and we are getting so so close so if you

today to you now deliver me how you want thank you Jesus thank you Jesus thank you Jesus it's okay come here you mom thank you Jesus is there anything in your past generations that were any religion besides Christianity in your past generations sometimes with the Catholic religion it can be witchcraft being done like praying to saints who are dead can be this is a form of witchcraft and it can be an open door and even certain rituals so do you want to now just say I renounce any witchcraft that is attached to me or that I participated in through Catholic I renounce any witchcraft I have participated in through my religion anything paid for my mom's life I detach you from all of that that you've renounced and I break every generational curse in Jesus name off of you off of your family off of him now and I detach him from autism and every diagnosis put upon him and I declare on three every spirit attached to what she renounced every spirit autism and mental sickness must leave in Jesus name one two three okay I didn't know that it's I thought it's a sickness so I was so happy I was so overjoyed my son is so different more focused before that when we ask him to pray he kind of rebellious and he get mad and you know sometime he hurt me but now he's so obedient he's more into word of God it's amazing now there is a lot to say about that video but the first thing that comes to mind is her continual reference to this idea of generational curses she asks immediately one of her first questions is what were you a part of some religion other than Christianity was there something else that you did in your past or your family did and believed in their past that might have impact on your son you know referencing his autism like as if his autism could have been impacted by the fact that they believed in a different religion now this might be a very interesting concept but it's not biblical at all and actually Jesus addresses this in John 9 Jesus and his disciples encounter this blind man and the disciples ask Jesus this they say uh Rabbi who sin this man or his parents that he was born blind and Jesus answered it was not that this man sinned or his parents but that the works of God might be displayed in him now we need to recognize that there's a difference between the idea of generational curses and generational consequences generational curses and generational consequences she's referencing quite a bit to this idea of generational curses where if they believe the wrong thing as parents or their grandparents believe the wrong thing and they you know or maybe in witchcraft then all of a sudden their son could have been born with autism that's kind of how she sees it it's a curse on him that she can now free him from by casting out the spirit that's that's not biblical that's not biblical and I know people have different perspectives on healing and that kind of thing there's folks that are continuationists that believe that healing and healers exist today and then there's cessationists people that say okay the gift of healing doesn't exist today and yet they would still acknowledge that healing does happen today for me I would end up in the camp that would say hey there are no particular healers but there is healing that happens today but let's look back for a second to this idea of generational consequences you think about somebody that maybe drank alcohol during their pregnancy and all of a sudden their child is born with all sorts of deformities and just challenges that they that they have to experience now because of the sins of the parents and there's a direct correlation there between those things we can see those things as real as generational consequences but that's there's a there's a big difference between those two things and somebody that believed in a different religion and all of a sudden we're claiming that the autism that this person is experiencing or whatever other challenge that they're experiencing whether whether that be dyslexia or ADHD or you know anything like that oh that's because they were catholic or that's because they were Buddhist it's like that where are you getting that from like I said I believe that healing happens and I believe those who are most passionate about the idea that healing happens today should be most outraged by the absolute distortion and the disgusting nature of what this event was at least what I've seen you think about the manipulation that's happening all the elements are present you have a crowd that is boisterous that is intense that is emotionally the emotionality of it I don't even know if that's a word but the emotionality of it is tangible you can see and you know that this young boy right he has a lot of pressure around him and he's seen people before that have come up that have interacted with this apostle lady in a particular way they have you know spoken as the demon they have maybe convulsed a little bit they have said the the particular words oh I'm leaving or I don't want to or you know okay I leave now and and you see him accommodating he knows what want what they want to hear from him and that's why it's so it's so manipulative and it's so disgusting because you think about this young boy and what he's experiencing in this moment and it's just going to be complete and utter confusion he wants to accommodate to what people want him to do and for the mother there's an acknowledgement of a deep pain point for her you imagine the challenge that she has to you know experience each and every day navigating this this child with autism and there are different like I'm no expert but I know they're varying degrees of severity in terms of how that impacts particular people's lives and so she's hitting on this pain point she's asking these questions she's giving now basically a guarantee that things are going to be different that all I need to do is cast out the spirit you remember the interview that the woman gave and she said you know I thought this was a sickness I thought this was just something that he was kind of born with but now realizing that it's a spirit she's been given all of this hope unfortunately in a lot of ways it's false hope now I'm not saying that people's autism can't get better and it can't you know they can't experience healing in particular ways and I mean look at like I said this is beyond my area of expertise but I do believe that that can that happens and with different resources and accommodations can learn how to navigate in this world you know more easily and that's wonderful right but this idea that all she needs to do is count to one two three and you're going to cast out the spirit of autism to me that's manipulative that's not that's not god at all and can we be honest for a second why is she counting down from three three two one as if jesus needs time to prep and prepare to cast out the demon like jesus is there he's ready don't like why are you giving it extra time I don't understand that like seriously I think that's part of the reason I believe this is so much more performative leave in jesus name one two three okay I leave most heartbreaking moments in this whole video is when she supposedly casts out this demon of autism and you just hear him say okay I leave and you see in parentheses devil speaking or demon speaking part of me how sad is that that this young boy has been basically manipulated in this way that he believes it's like you know he believes that this these are the right words I need to say okay I leave and he says what happened what happened and it was like you you're fixed you're fixed finally you're fixed because there's so much wrong with you before but now you're you're right in your brain and and you're in your heel look I don't pretend to know what it's like to have a child with severe autism I imagine that is really challenging in a lot of ways but I also have to believe that for me as I have you know hopefully if god blesses me with children in the future that it would be a desire on my heart to not get rid of the the the unique giftings and the unique way that god created this child right I think about somebody that has down syndrome are people praying can god heal this child of down syndrome right I know there are so many christian parents that have children with down syndrome and children with autism say you are looking at this in the wrong way like you are looking that this is merely a burden and in a lot of ways yes it's challenging of course of course I don't pretend to know what that's like but why wouldn't you I mean as a parent why wouldn't you want to tap into see the giftings of this person and all the all the autistic people in the world that do amazing amazing things and their mental capabilities and their artistic capabilities are unmatched like and yet you're like nah we we don't want that let's gotten this healing this is a demon that's going on inside of him what does that do to to him as he grows up as he seeks to accept how god made him in this way and yet he knows then in a heartbeat he you know his parents wanted to wanted to change him basically right that they thought it was a demon within him it's a demon that's doing this maybe it's just god maybe for some particular reason god wired him in that way for his glory that his glory would be revealed look this is a different thing this is this is kind of a side note but I think about my own dyslexia and when I was younger is a lot worse I couldn't read very well till I was 11 or 12 and even some words like that just didn't they didn't click for me and spelling now I'm absolutely awful at spelling and so like to me if somebody were to come up to me and say Isaac I'm praying that your dyslexia gets healed or saying to me that there's a demon of dyslexia in you a spirit of dyslexia and it's based on you know your parents and your grandparents that you know you know they weren't Christians so okay now you have this spirit of dyslexia with you and it needs to be cast out and if somebody were to come up to me and say that as a young as a young person as a child I would have liked it I would have been like yes please fix me fix me please I don't want to be like this but it would have been a hoax and it also would have it would have stopped me from really experiencing the blessing of how God wired me and the deeper reliance that I needed to have on God in the midst of this challenge but also realizing the gift of my brain being wired in a particular way how I have a greater focus in other areas in greater strengths in other areas and it's like man why aren't we teaching people to to accept and be grateful about how God wired us even amidst the the challenge of of these things as opposed to just saying oh cast out that demon one two three leave demon and then this kid is forced to be like I leave what happened and then his mom gives him a big hug because finally he's fixed that to me is a tragedy and non-christians around us can see what's going on they see that this is just a facade they see that this is just wrong and they want no part in this they want no part in this Christianity of this woman that says I'm an apostle I can do these little healing crusades and I I know I'm being a little bit more aggressive maybe than I usually am and it's really just because I believe that the this is so harmful to the name of Christ like I said I believe that healing happens I do I believe that my mom was he was healed from breast cancer years ago and that was a miracle in a lot of ways but I don't believe this I don't believe this thank you for watching this video if you got something from this and enjoy the content and get something from the
