God does not heal my son's chronic disease

[Jesus_is_Saint]

Can God heal autism?
We had prayed for 10 years,
but God seems take no action.
We feel disappointed.

OP,

Regarding autism, have you taken your child to a professional psychologist or psychiatrist to get a formal diagnosis?

Yes, we had done early childhood interception program, seek specialists, do diet therapy etc.
He improves but not to the degree of ordinary man.

and a lot did not believe. There are many that will not believe even if a miracle happened in front of them today. Look at yourself you been told of miracles but refuse to believe that God still does them today. I went to Mexico on a missions trip and as we got a free day we were goofing around and my friend pushed me fast and let me go, I hit something in the road and flew out of my chair. I thought one of my friends caught me but they were to far away. They said that a tall man appeared and lowered me than looked at them and shook his finger at them and was than gone. I am sure you will try to explain that away but no one can not tell me that was not a miracle.

Many did believe. Thousands upon thousands in the shortest of time. Talk about effectiveness of a handfull. Today, over a billion Christians doing next to nothing to convince non-Christians year after year. The world should have been won ten times over centuries ago if even a half of what is claimed about God's involvement were true.

As for your story, it was a man after all. If that's what really happened. I'm glad you came unharmed out of that unfortunate incident.

We had attended Charismatic Divine Healing gathering, and prayed earnestly, let the pastor to lay hands on my son's head and pray, put olive oil on his head,
but still no significant improvement.

Those preachers at those "Charismatic Divine Healings" are charlatans. Someone else in this thread has already posted addressing this. Don't waste your time with them.

Autism often lasts for life, but a lot of people with high functioning autism can still live a full life.

 

[Jesus_is_Saint]

Any reason God does not want to heal autism?

Autism lasts a lifetime although people can function well with the right support.

Maybe this will shed some light on the subject of Divine Healing.

God has a habit of using those of us who are weak or otherwise challenged for his purposes. Perhaps your son was born with autism so that the glory of God can be displayed through his life. It sounds like such a trite answer but with my own suffering and defects I was born with, that's what I hold onto since God has chosen not to heal me either.

God does not heal my son's chronic disease, even after 10 years of continuous praying,
why should I believe in such a unresponsive God?

I really think that God does not exist.

I have often wondered myself about prayer. People have said to me prayer is a communication not a wish list. Yet on CF we have a prayer wall with people requesting you pray for all sorts of things. I cant help think that if God hadn't intervened why would me asking or 100 others asking make a difference - is he going to be like...well I wasn't going to do it but since you asked so nicely I'll change my mind.... I doubt it.

I do not accept that God embeds his will in every decision of mine or every action. But do I think God has given me privileges that have enabled me to make decisions competently. If I have a bad scenario I don't believe me asking him to intervene will change anything because if he was going to intervene he would have whether I ask or not. I'm not so conceited to believe I can sway Gods opinions.

So to your sons chronic illness. God has enabled our society to evolve and become more sophisticated and its the resources stemming from that, that are aiding your son - good health care, and safe environment, and people that love him. I wish you and him all the best

It was angel. He appeared and disappeared before their eyes, he did not walk up but out of thin air. Regardless of what you think it was a miracle, I pray someday your faith is stronger

God does things in His time not ours

 

[Jesus_is_Saint]

God created genes, he can change it, right?

God can do anything He wills. Sometimes things are not answered like we want but that does not mean He does not care

 

[Jesus_is_Saint]

How do I know he cares for me?

 

[Cheylynn]

Happy Birthday!!!

Just read over this thread, and I have a question for you,
Are you for real?

 

[derpytia]

How do I know he cares for me?

Because until now you have been blessed with a loving wife, a roof over your head, a job, a son, and food in your stomach.

And even if you weren't blessed with those things and you lived in more miserable conditions, Christ still paid for every sin you've ever committed and you will get to spend Eternity with Him. And you didn't deserve it. None of us deserved it.

I know things are hard and unanswered prayers are painful. I would know; I am still in pain over my unanswered prayers. But He cares more than we can comprehend. I'm sure there are people you love who go through hard things and there is not much you can do but to offer words of comfort and empathy because you can't fix their situation.

We have a God that can fix the situation but chooses not to or chooses to do so in His own way on His own timing. We'll still suffer and our loved ones will still suffer in this life. It is the result of a fallen world under the curse of sin. But God cares.

God loves your son. It may be frustrating to not see his healing. But both him and you are loved by God. Every heart is valuable, and finding the heart of a person is more important that outward healing. However I do believe in the healing of the body and I will add your son to my daily prayer list, I will join with you in prayer for him. For his hearts blessing, but also for the outward healing.

He is 16 already.
His skin is allergic, and he also developed autism symptom.
Many Christians say autism can not be healed by God, very rare cases God heals autism.

I learned to not put all my faith in doctors, and instead to mine the net for answers to health problems. Many times some doctors and other organizations suppress cures - or are uninformed - I would research the net and look for alternative cures for his issues.
