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!
Healing Journey

Addicted To A Wheelchair

The Word says we were “healed, by His stripes”, yet our bodies will sometimes say otherwise. Just as any alcoholic or other addict struggles with freedom from bondage by his own choice, 02yet not knowing how to be free, so is the person who struggles to be free from a wheelchair. We as Christians can agree that we are freed from sin, “by His stripes,” yet Christians often fail at making use of the victory Jesus paid to give us. Faith for healing is the same. Sickness, disease, trauma from injury, anxiety, depression and mental illness are all from the “death” family, listed under curses in Deuteronomy 28. Jesus became a curse for us (Gal 3:13) so that we are set free from sin and death (Romans 8:2). The Word says healing is as available as victory over sin. Sin is wrong; sickness is also wrong.  Yet both the sinner and the handicapped are addicted to their problem. It is my position that as a Christian I am not condemned because of my bondage to a wheelchair, yet it is as wrong as sin. If anyone has ever been addicted to cigarettes, the struggle is the same for a person trying to break free from a long-term sickness or handicap. It’s embarrassing and as wrong as any sin. God wants us well, so staying sick is just like putting Jesus in a wheelchair. Yet the way out seems as far away as another planet. Have mercy, therefore, on the sinner and to the sick and injured who are developing their faith for healing or freedom from sin. Victory is ours though. “And the violent take it by force.” (Matt 11:12)
