Prayer for Healing Autism

Because I do not believe God wants us to surrender hope. We do not have to accept negative prognosis or diagnosis. Whether autism is the result of a vaccine injury or other physical condition, a generational curse or another spiritually rooted issue, Jesus Christ is the answer. His will is to heal and deliver. This prayer was specifically crafted for a child with severe autism. You too can believe that your impossible situation can be reversed when you invite God into the situation.


Note: I highly recommend a couple days of fasting in addition to making this prayer, for there are some demonic spirits that only respond to the additional component of fasting. Insert the name of your loved one in the appropriate place.

  • In the name and authority of Jesus Christ, I pray over ___________’s brain and I break the power of poisoned thinking and the strongholds of the mind. I break the power of word curses and generational curses in Jesus name.


  • In the name and authority of Jesus Christ, I bind the spirits of Legion and the Deaf and Dumb spirit, rendering them powerless, impotent and paralyzed. I forbid Legion and every demon under its authority from interfering or interrupting with _________’s thought processes, motor responses and speech.


  • In the name and authority of Jesus Christ, I bind the spirits of Fear, Anger, Bitterness, Rebellion, Rejection and Disapproval. I bind all mind-blinding spirits and the spirit of Autism.


  • In the name and authority of Jesus Christ, I break any and all ungodly oaths or covenants made with occult spirits, religious spirits and spirits of witchcraft. I bind them to silence, impotence and render them paralyzed in the name of Jesus Christ.


  • In the name and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command every spirit of insanity, doublemindedness, instability and schizophrenia be bound to silence, impotence and paralyzed now. I forbid them from speaking, influencing or taking over _______’s mind and body.


  • Now, in the name and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, every ungodly and unclean spirit, leave _______ now and go to the abyss that was created for you. I command you to leave and never return in Jesus name! Get out and leave ________ alone!


  • In the name of Jesus Christ I declare that the old has passed away and all things are made new in ________’s life, according to 2 Corinthians 5:17.


  • Let every demonic attachment be severed now, in Jesus name, for it is written that we shall cast out demons, lay hands on the sick and they shall be healed, according to Mark 16:18.

  • In the name and authority of Jesus Christ, let the seeds of inherited bitterness, rejection, fear, rebellion and infirmity shrivel and die now.

  • Let every seed that originates from the tree of good and evil, and every other evil tree, shrivel and die now, in Jesus name.

  • Let all seeds that were implanted by Satan in the generational line, even from before birth shrivel and die now. 

  • Let there be no more bad fruit nor seeds reproduced off of evil trees, in Jesus name.

  • Let all evil inheritances, both spiritually and naturally, be cut off and sent back to where they came from, in Jesus name.

  • I command all fear and anxiety to leave _______ now for it is written that God has not given ______ a spirit of fear, but power love and a sound mind according to 2 Timothy 1:7. Therefore, I release peace, joy, love and the sound mind that is afforded to ______ in Jesus name.

  • I declare that _______will come out of his/her shell and no longer be bound by fear or a hardened heart in Jesus name. Let him/her choose to unlock the door from the inside of their heart and mind. Let them receive a new heart by the Spirit of the Lord, for it is written in Ezekiel 11:19 that God will replace their hardened heart with a heart of flesh; compassion, peace, love and forgiveness.

  • I declare _______ will no longer be shy and withdrawn, but he/she will have normal thought processes and social skills in Jesus name. He/she will speak and behave as a normal child.

  • I command all that has been locked up and locked out in _______’s mind is now opened in Jesus name.

  • I command the thief to return _______’s mind in the name and authority of Jesus Christ. For it is written in Proverbs 6:31 that when the thief is caught he must repay and give up all the substance of his house. I command all that is rightfully _______’s to be restored and returned to him/her now, and with a 7 fold increase as well, in Jesus name.

  • I command the gifts of the spirit that originate in the mind and thought processes to be redeemed and purified by the blood of the sinless lamb. Let every gifting of intelligence, creativity, and witty idea under the inspiration of God be redeemed now for the glory of God, in the name and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • I command every thought process and mental disorder that made _____ unstable or developmentally disabled to be redeemed and restored to normal function now, in Jesus name. Let there be an acceleration of recovery to redeem lost time in Jesus name.


  • I ask that You would heal the cerebral cortex in _____’s brain. I ask that You would fill any areas of deficiency with the fullness of Your Holy Spirit.

Infuse every cell, every gene, every strand of DNA with the DNA and healing of Jesus Christ.


  • ·        Let every curse be broken and sent back to the source, for You O God did not give _______ any DNA that would carry a curse. It came from the evil one, and as I submit to Your authority, I resist the devil and command him to take back everything that he has brought upon ________.

  • ·        I pray that any damage to the brain itself, the neurotransmitters, and the centers for impulse control in ______’s cerebral cortex be healed now in Jesus name.

  • ·        Let there be light in every darkened area of the brain, though patterns and emotional responses. I declare the amino acid and peptide neurotransmitters be rewired to function in perfect health and send the proper amounts of chemicals to regulate impulse control, stress management, peace, pleasure and pain management in perfect balance.

  • ·        Let the acytlcholine functions be healed and restored to perfect health.


  • ·        Let the chemical agents and the communication messengers between brain cells function in perfect harmony, balance and soundness in every cell.

  • ·        Let all things in the molecular structure that affect mood, anxiety, appetite, sleep, temperature, heart rate, self-control, discernment, impulse control, aggression, fear, stress management and other physical and psychological appetites, desires and occurrences be healed and restored to the perfect wholeness that exists in Jesus Christ.


  • ·        Holy Spirit, let Your fullness fill any deficiencies in ________’s mind and body, for it is written in Psalm 23:1 that YOU are ______’s Shepherd and he/she shall have no lack.


  • ·        Let all areas that have been damaged, those areas that are genetically unsound, weak, impaired or afflicted be healed, for it is written, "Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed," in Is. 53:4, 5.

  • ·        Lord Jesus, You told us, Your disciples, to lay hands on the sick and they would recover, (Mark 16:18).

  • ·        Holy Spirit, please give _______ a revelation of his/her heavenly Father's love and acceptance so that Your perfect love will cast out all fear. Reveal the Father's heart to ________. Show him/her their true identity as it is in Christ. Lead _________ to the salvation that is through Jesus Christ. I thank You and give You glory for the healing that is taking place now in Jesus name. Amen.

    1. It's not right. I'm sorry but God is not going to heal Ari, and let me tell you why. He made your son into that to teach you and others about unconditional love, patience and unconventional ways that He Himself works. It's not going to be easy but autism isn't a curse. It's a blessing to those who receive it and watch their children grow and overcome trials and tribulations. They show God's love in their own way.

      So please don't think for a minute that he's cursed or there's no hope. He's fine the way he is, it's not life threatening or a punishment. In fact, he's going to be just fine. I hope you can have a great time raising him, as my parents did raising me, their God-fearing and loving autistic daughter.

  20. Okay. First of all Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that never, ever, ever goes away. It's wired in. Second of all there shouldn't be a 'cure' for it, it's not life-threatening like cancer or AIDS. It's simply a little extra work raising and teaching a child, but I can assure you that is not in vain.

    I have autism, I was diagnosed later on in my life but God is good to me. He gave me a more creative way of thinking. He taught my parents about love, and patience and joy. I'm a happy go lucky young lady. I'm graduating from high school and I'm going to attend university. I love to write stories and I love animals, I have a different way of looking at things that's taught people that there is so much more. I am happy with who I am.

    Didn't God say that all he has made has a purpose? And didn't Jesus say that all of his father's creations were perfect? If so, then why try to pray away something that makes the world a little different? It makes me shake my head that my religion would wish someone like me away, when we deserve love and acceptance and tolerance instead of wishing for a 'normal' child.

    ReplyDelete
  21. If I may say something:

    I have been raised in a loving, Christian household. I have been taught values that I hold dear to this day. I love animals, I love writing and I love my life. I go to church, I'm an active participant and I'm graduating my Catholic School and attending university in the fall.

    But I have autism. I want you to know that you shouldn't pray away something that isn't lethal, that isn't a curse. There will be tough times, because some of us can't talk. We're quick to anger sometimes and slow to understanding. Let me assure you that raising me took patience, strength and love. But didn't Jesus say that all of his father's creations were perfect? And didn't God say that everything he has made serves a purpose?

    Before you start asking God to take away something, think how God has blessed you with giving you a child who is there to teach you how to love in a whole new way. A child who sees His creation in a different light, who loves and lives in a spectacular way. If you really feel like it's a curse then I am sorry that you do. But God isn't going to 'heal' your child. You just have to let go of your earthly appeal to perfection and start trying to understand the reason behind why God has given you something (and trust me it's not because you did something wrong).

    1. Dear Nicole,

      Thank you for such a thought provoking letter. I understand what you are saying. I also know that God does indeed create people uniquely different and that sometimes does include certain handicaps and other things. Not for the sake of discouragement or disappointment in His creation, but many things are opportunities in disguise to show His glory. Even the Apostle Paul said that he would rather boast in his weaknesses so that the power of Christ would dwell in him.

      I am truly grateful that in spite of having Austism, you seem to have a very high functioning capability. You articulate your thoughts well. You have a loving family that has demonstrated their commitment to love you unconditionally and be an integral part of your ability to live as a light into this dark world. However, I also know that God has personally shown me certain things about some individuals with Austism, which I know are a result of a curse and caused by demonic attachments in those people's lives. I understand if you don't agree, but please let me share what God has shown me.

      I have a friend with a son who is severely Autistic. I started out writing this prayer for her situation, then decided to make it available on my website. God showed me that at least for some people, Autism is the result of a curse. It is directly tied to a spirit of fear and a deaf and dumb spirit.

    2. I cannot agree with your comment that "God isn't going to heal your child." That contradicts many various scriptures. Jesus went about healing and delivering many people, and all who came to Him in faith were healed. "With faith" are the key components, for without faith it is impossible to please God.

      I am not saying the child or individual did anything wrong to deserve a handicap or the diagnosis of Autism. Some things are passed down by generational curses (especially when idolatry is prevalent in a family line, or when generations in a family have failed to acknowledge their sin and come to Christ). Sometimes it can be the result of a medically induced situation such as vaccine injury. Some of those situations can be viewed as a curse and some as a result of other things. I am not placing blame on anyone for incurring those situations.

      Let me also give you the illustration of the blind man in John chapter 9. He had been born blind. The disciples asked Jesus, "Who sinned? The guy born blind or his parents?" The disciples completely didn't get it because they thought a child born straight from the womb had already sinned and was therefore born blind. Jesus had to correct their theology. He said, (my paraphrase) "Hey guys, you're missing the point. It's not about who sinned; it's about demonstrating the glory of God." (Read in John 9:1-12) God had waited a long time to demonstrate that He had the power to heal difficult situations. When a person is born a certain way and has lived with a disability all their life and then God suddenly reverses it, it has the potential to bring many more people into the kingdom of God. The miracle isn't so much for just the one that gets healed, but for the many more that will witness the miracle and come into the kingdom as a result.

      Jesus went on to heal that man and restore his sight. If what you're saying is true all the time, then why did Jesus bother to heal the man at all? He could have said, "Hey, you're fine the way you are. Don't bother wishing or hoping for a miracle." That's not God; He loves to display His glory. The reality is, He does reverse situations all the time, but He is sovereign over who receives miracles and those that continue to live in the state they are born into. There are a lot of factors that can affect the end result. Do we stop hoping or praying for God to touch those we love? Does everyone just surrender their hope for God to change their situation? Absolutely not. If that was true, no one would be believing for anything. Yes, I understand that God uses every situation to bring about good for those He loves. He can use challenges such as physical and emotional infirmity or handicaps to make us all into kinder, more loving, patient individuals. But Jesus also said that healing is the children's bread. It's our privilege and right to expect healing as heirs to His kingdom. I believe that we must know in our heart when God is asking us to believe against all odds and when we are to accept the situations of our lives. This is between the individual and God.

      God may, in His infinite wisdom, choose not to answer certain prayers, but He does creative miracles to give people hope, so future generations will continue to believe in Christ for their salvation. Without the power of God, there is no demonstration of His kingdom! Therefore, although I completely understand and respect your opinion, I also choose to believe that with God all things are possible, and that it is God's will to heal. If I make room in my theology that it's not God's will and I should not even pray for others to receive a miracle or healing, then I am a double-minded person that receives nothing from the Lord. I will always side with faith, believing for God to do the impossible, rather than make a choice to side with unbelief. I leave room for God to decide if, when or how to answer prayer.

      Bless you,
      Laura

    3. Dear Nicole, as much as I can't agree with the "God is not going to heal..." , thank you for speaking out! Whether God wants to heal, it is ultimately up to God to decide and we should not say for sure that God is or is not going to do something. However, I do feel very uncomfortable at the number of people praying against Autism like it is some disease and something deadly.

      As a person with autism, I feel very hurt to know that parents are praying against Autism and wanting it to be gone. God says that people like us are fearfully and wonderfully made, so why can't parents just love us the way we are? It's all these that make me feel that I'm never good enough to be loved just because I have Autism and parents need to pray for me to be healed in order to accept and love me.

      I can't speak for the whole community but what I feel we need, is not healing, it is acceptance. We need acceptance that we can be who we are without being judged, that we can freely stim without receiving weird stares. As much as I hated the symptoms and the sensory overload sometimes, Autism is a part of us, it is who we are. Just like Temple Grandin says, "If I could snap my fingers and be non-autistic, I would not. Autism is part of what I am."

    4. Dear friend,

      Thank you for a wonderful reply. I just want to clear up any misconception regarding the prayer above.

      There are a few responses on this thread that seem to feel that praying for God to heal someone from autism or even other handicaps is some slight against them as a person, or an indication that somehow it is detracting from a person's value. None of those things are true. Having autism or some other handicap is also not an indicator that the person with that issue is somehow unlovable or unaccepted. I noticed that you mentioned that praying against Autism somehow was equated in your mind as a parent not having the ability to love her accept their child the way they were. That was never my intention to communicate that in writing this prayer.

      There are amazing people in all different kinds of Packaging and some of those include people with handicaps or other diagnosis. But there are also many parents and individuals that are hoping for a miracle in their body or in their child and I don't think it's wrong for us to believe that With God all things are possible. I do hope that this has cleared up any miscommunication or misunderstanding.

      Blessings,
      Laura

  24. Hi Laura

    Thank you for blog. You have a unique ministry and I thank God for the hope you are giving to others. Continue to stand on the word and believe what it say. Doctors and health care professionals are good people and they really help people. But medicine and science has it's limitations. God has promised to heal,deliver and set the captives free. It is His will to heal.

  26. God has sent his word to heal every infirmity. And I know from the deepest part of my heart that God can heal autism. There are so many testimonies to support the claim. The healing of the mute boy in Mark 9 is a case study. If you believe sincerely that God can heal your autistic child, trust me you will sing for joy in the end. My prayer for every autistic child is that they shall fulfill destiny. Every mute child will speak and every abnormal behavior will become normal. They say autism has no cure, but whose report shall we believe? I pray today that God through his son Jesus who is the great physician will bring joy and complete healing to every home going through this demon called autism. To every parents of autistic children you will look back and give God alone the glory.

  27. Those of you who are saying people should not pray for deliverence from autism,oh so you have autism? blah blah blah...your lucky enough you have the brains to log online and share with the rest of us your nonsense,what about those who can't do anything for themselves is it wrong for their parents to ask for mercy from God? Do you know having a severe autistic child changes the lives of the people involved? Their finances,their freedom in life imagine having a child who throws tantrums,breaks everything in the house a child who is a dangerous to himself and others?, do you know how painful it is to give your child away to some government care center just because you can't deal with it anymore and because you have lost your JOB because of him it hurts so shut up u have no idea what you are on about

  30. dear Laura -
    Thank you for your commitment and love.
    My son was born with cerebral palsy - the neurologist told us that he might have other difficulties relating to the brain damage like autism or aspergers. I have just heard that he got an unusually high mark on the aspergers test. I know now why life is so scary for him. Also, he has no idea what he want to do with his future. He got great grades but he battles with things others seem to ace and its so difficult to see him struggle, his not happy and suffers with depression! I know healing is in Gods hands, He might have purpose for my son as he was born. I still feel that I need to set everything right from my side. Jesus is in control and I will accept His will.
    My son has a small degree of auitism, do you think this Autism prayer covers whatever I need to deal with?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yes, I do. I don't claim to be an authority on autism but I did research it before riding the prayer. Above all though, I believe Holy Spirit knows everything and Revelation trumps every other limitation. Seek the Lord and ask Holy Spirit if he has a keyword of knowledge or Revelation that will release your child's healing.

  32. Hello everyone,

    I get A LOT of people wanting to post comments giving credit to various witch doctors for healing. Some of them come through on this thread and obviously I reject them as spam because there is NO WAY I am going to give glory to the enemy. Let me just throw this out there for your consideration, though. If in fact those who partner with the occult can heal, then it really only strengthens it in my mind that some of those diagnosed with autism may in fact be suffering under demonic oppression. Because the enemy has no power to heal; he only has power to channel other demons under his authority! I'm not saying every diagnosis is this way, some I believe are truly medical conditions - But, we know our healer and deliverer is the Lord Jesus Christ. Seek the wisdom that comes from God to know what is the cause of health and medical conditions.

  36. Thank you, Laura. Rough night tonight with our five year old son. I was in tears just looking for some encouragement when I stumbled upon your site. My husband and I fast and pray for our son. We are believing for God to heal him completely. He was picking at his lips badly in his bed tonight...until bloody and picks at his nails. Some days he seems so smart and tonight he just sat in the tub like he did not know he was supposed to get out. His left eye does not see correctly and he had a seizure a few months ago with foaming at the mouth and staring. We adopted Jonathan from China when he was almost four. We were not told of any such medical issues that he has so all very scary to us. Thank you for your prayer. I read it tonight and will continue to read it. Jonathan is very lovable but he does do a strange grunting sometimes and sometimes a weird "crazy" laugh that freaks us out. His brain definitely does not process correctly and motor skills off with simple tasks like putting on a coat. He does speak and I am very very greatful for that but he can be annoying because he will sometimes say the same things over and over or ask goofy questions where the answers are so obvious. It pushes my patience sometimes and then I feel guilty and I have to keep praying for God to help me love my son with more patience and tenderness (yeah all those fruits of the Spirit) I know this is demonic and nobody can tell me it is not. When I read so many letters from others, I sobbed just thinking about the difficulty of their lives. I do understand and have sincere compassion for them. I will never give up. This deaf and dumb spirit must and will leave my family and never come back. Thank you for all your research, Laura, and I did appreciate your response to that post about people not praying for the deliverence of their children. You were gentle but honest. If the post was legit, talk about a "lying spirit". Jeeze oh Petes! Anyway, God bless and I pray for God's healing touch to be upon every family who is believing for total healing and restoration in their lives in Jesus' Name! Amen!

  37. Dear Pearl,

    I have an idea. (Other parents reading this can give this a try also!). Get a children's Bible and start reading it to your child every night. Ask your child if they would like to invite Jesus into their heart. Explain the gospel in the simplest of terms. Tell them that Jesus can chase away the things they find scary. Tell your child Jesus is more powerful than anything that makes them afraid. When you feel your child is ready, extend the invitation for them to invite Jesus into their heart. Also explain that when Jesus comes into their heart, He gives them power to overcome the enemy. Again, explain spiritual authority in the simplest terms. Help them understand who they are in Christ. Sooner or later, the power of God will break through. Encourage them to ask Holy Spirit to live in their heart and help them have the power to live free. Engage the child in learning how to exercise the authority God has given them. Scripture says "Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world." If you can enlist their cooperation, have them tell the spirit of fear to go in Jesus name!

  38. Yes, Laura is absolutely right! Our younger children ages 5, 6, and 7 all love when we sit together and give God thanks for something and name something we are believing Him for. Then, we sing a song of praise worshipping God (The demonic does not like that atmosphere). Very simple, not too long and they enjoy it. Just recently, when we did this, we kept skipping over Jonathan to give him time to think but he just could not do it. So, I said "Enough is enough" and we bound and covered in the blood of Jesus whatever was preventing Jonathan from speaking out and then suddenly he blurted out "I'm thankful for Father God". We were all shocked and Jonathan ended up having the best thankful thought of us all. We call it our "activation" session. Jonathan even asks for it by name. I have done a lot of research on how these things get attached to people. Jon has good days and bad. I just know that this thing must go eventually. I had a weak moment of frustration and weariness last night but never was the thought of giving up on Jonathan in the mix. I know that we all have those moments just like our "heros" of the Bible. It is nice to connect with others who are pushing through and also to hear the success stories of those who came out on the other side. There is power in a testimony! Nothing beats God's Word. The truth of God's Word always trumps reality. Always! Thank you, Laura, for all you do in the Army of the Lord❤

    1. It's my pleasure. :-) Pearl, tell your kids to ask Holy Spirit to tell them a secret. Have them listen for the voice of the Lord. It might just be that Holy Spirit whispers exactly what Jon needs to hear that will set him free!
