My beautiful son Ethan was born Oct. 28th 1999; he developed normally until he was about 2 yrs old. We started noticing he was delayed in his speech, sensitive to noise, or did not eat or sleep well. We ran to Doctors all over town and finally got the diagnosis of Autism. I was devastated. I cried all the time and became depressed. It was like a death. My dreams were shattered.

I obsessively studied Autism on the Internet and all the possible treatments. When I found an MD that treated Autism, I jumped in. We did oxygen therapy, chelating, secreton therapy and I gave him hand full of vitamins everyday, you name it we did it. Although I saw a difference in him after chelating, he still had several issues. I became very ill with Environmental Illness and went to Pleasant Valley in Georgia for ministry after attending Journey2Wholeness Ministries and received much healing. My whole family went, and Ethan attended the children’s ministry. He learned the principles of a more excellent way. I made the decision on the car ride back to no longer chelate him or do any treatments and completely trust in the Lord. I had given Him everything else but Ethan…that was too important, by thinking it was my job to fix Ethan I had held Ethan from God.

My husband and I repented to Ethan for generational roots passed down to him while in Georgia. I started seeing changes shortly after we return; they were not major. It was like he was slowly starting to outgrow Autism. Then I heard about a testimony of a mom who repented to her daughter, and her asthma went away. This moved me in a way I can’t explain. I went to the Lord and asked if/what I needed to repent to Ethan for. Boy did He ever answer me. That night I tucked Ethan in and repented to him. I had never once used the word Autism to him (like it would make him worse); but in my own way, made him feel like he was different, that hurt when I realized it. He would even ask occasionally say, "am I different?" I let the Lord lead me, and this is what I said to him. I told him when he was 3 yrs old we thought something was wrong, and we took him to an MD that told us he had Autism. I told him I was sorry for believing that lie from the enemy and feeding it by running to Doctors instead of turning to God. I repented to him; I told him there was nothing wrong with him and that God made him perfectly, and he is a normal little boy. He has never asked me again if he is different. I always lay hands on him now and prayer for God’s healing power in his life.

Recently we had a meeting at his school because he is in special education. He has doubled his reading score and exceeded the goals they have set. I asked if they see any signs of Autism both teachers said absolutely not. They even said he is very advanced when it comes to an 8 yr old. It is the Holy Spirit that lives in him. Today, I have a normal little boy who socializes and play with his peers fine. When you look at him and other kids there are no different. I praise God everyday for Ethan. He has a spiritual dimension to him that is very special; he is an anointed little boy.

My mom was healed of MCS/EI and several other diseases. Read her story.
