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!

Convincing Vs Renewing

In response to a great series by Mike Hoesch Healing Journeys, Id like to visit the subject of renewing the mind and convincing the heart of truth, a very helpful series. I think it very interesting and helpful to note that our natural mind is a hindrance to believing the truth of spiritual things, including healing. And because healing is a spiritual thing that changes a physical thing, it is super important to get the key to believing and convincing your heart of healing since the heart is where we believe! I have a blog about “convincing myself of the truth” in which I explain a story about how I became convinced and persuaded that a burn will heal without surgery. It was a third-degree burn and I was told by two doctors and a whole burn unit that it wouldn’t heal without surgery, or wouldn’t heal right. Find that story to learn the details of the beautiful results of healing I obtained.

While I agree with Mike Hoesche who says that you cannot convince your natural mind of the truths in God‘s word and don’t even try, I will say that our heart is like a courtroom. Sometimes it requires evidence to believe and sometimes it just believes because there are no opposing beliefs to fight with…. no objections.

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs‬ ‭4:23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans ‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The courtroom of your heart often condemns you. The Bible has an answer for that too. “if thy heart condemns you, God is greater than your heart.” 1Jn 3:20

We can only see spiritual things by being born of the spirit (John 3:3) And only then we can see with spiritual eyes:

“while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:18‬ ‭. Looking at unseen things is using the mind of Christ. Our imagination is part of our spiritual eyes.

The more we use our spiritual eyes and spiritual understanding, the more renewed our thinking becomes. Thus renewing our mind is simply switching gears from natural limits to spiritual unlimited. We can be only partially persuaded or fully persuaded. The more persuaded we are of truth the better results we have in our life.
