Hey, something that happened- there are several people in the congregation at my church, Life Center Ministries, that have Downs Syndrome. God shared something with me, that their spirit does not have Downs! There is a young man or woman that is trapped in there inside a body that does not work properly and can't get out! I have committed to pray that the young man or woman trapped in there is able to get out!

God also shared this with me- some aspects of their personalities are the real them trying to get out!

Would you be able to clarify what you mean? I’m not sure they can be ‘healed’ from their afflicting, but there are definitely people afflicted w/ Downs who have a ‘normal’ spirit. YouTube search Downs & see for yourself. Like w/ many ‘disorders’, it appears to be a spectrum. Many are very intelligent or have good hearts. (My biggest difficulty w/ them is sometimes I have a hard time understanding them)

Moses had a disability, and God used him, exodus. Proverbs 29:11 a fool utters all his mind: But a wise man keep it in till afterwards. Wicked people range as narcissist. Thier words and actions give them away.
Children of light have discipline and obedience to God.
Wicked have pride. Servants of God have humility. See the distinction. God can use someone with a disability for service. I have cognitive impairment and hypoxic brain injury. I'm teacher of Gods word. I have the holy spirit. Hebrews chapter 5:4. And no man takes this honour unto him self, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. Get the picture. Peace.

God shared something with me, that their spirit does not have Downs!

That is a very interesting insight ... one I will be thinking about, the next time I look upon my niece.

There is so much we cannot know about how persons with Downs experience life ...
how much they are aware of ...
what their understanding of the spiritual life is ...
but I do believe there will be many of them in heaven ...
and then maybe they will be able to explain some things to us!
