People who know me generally all say that I don’t seem to be disabled like other people. My family laughs and teases me in a complimentary way that I somehow make people forget about the wheelchair in which I sit. I always take that as a high compliment. I’m glad they stop thinking about the wheelchair when they are with me but the question is, why? Yesterday we had a lady say something so significant to me. The lady at the Dept. of Motor Vehicles (Secretary of State) who only saw me for a few minutes, smiled and referred to me as “technically handicapped.” My daughter laughed in agreement with her and pointed out that here was another person seeing me as not actually disabled. I believe this is a spiritual thing. I don’t believe in my handicap as permanent or even see myself as disabled, therefore that emanates to others as well. Very interesting phenomenon. I appear to others as not belonging in a wheelchair even though my body believes I do. Paralyzed from the chest down, hands too. A C-6 spinal cord injury, I’m “technically handicapped.” By faith I say I’m technically healed. But that reality is rising up and the spiritual truth will override the physical. It’s becoming more real every day. I am pursuing the full manifestation of my healing through Christ. I have learned a lot about faith and healing and I like sharing this with others. Thus the blog. I have a Youtube channel, "lynnesuszek", where I teach and share testimonies. Please check out our ministry at www.Hisability.com!

Paul’s Thorn – The Grace Translation

Image 5 Comments

2 Cor 12:7-9 is the famous scripture about Paul’s thorn in the flesh “My grace is sufficient for you,” which typically is viewed to mean “God sometimes says no.”  However in context with God’s nature and reputation, His promises are all “yes and amen.” (2 Cor 1:20) As a spiritual defense attorney for God, I must point out my Client’s character. He healed everyone who believed He could. Nobody was told “sorry, it’s not My timing yet.” Nobody ever begged Jesus three times to remove their sickness and was told “nope, you’ll have to deal with it.” Jesus also never said “I’ll give you the grace to suffer through this.”

Therefore, I submit to the jury of Bible readers of today that this verse is saying:

My grace is the provision for your success or your healing. Go for it! You already have the grace you need, apply your faith! My power is sufficient for every need and it flows through you. Stop asking Me to remove this thorn (whatever it was, persecution or health) I rejoice therefore when I encounter trials because Christ has given me the power to conquer them! GBT (Grace Bible Translation, if it existed)

Now read it with Grace glasses:

“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”  KJV

Notice that God works miracles ACCORDING TO OUR FAITH:  “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” Eph 3:20 – His ability in us.
