I've found the cure for my son's Menkes Disease
When my son Jadon was just over five months old, he was diagnosed with a fatal genetic disorder — Menkes Disease. His condition rapidly worsened as his brain was damage from uncontrollable grand mal seizures. Despite being prescribed four different anti-seizure medications, none proved effective. His seizures remained completely unmanageable.
We were devastated. Every senior specialist we consulted, along with all the medical literature we found, confirmed the same grim prognosis: there was nothing more that could be done. We were told that my precious baby would not survive beyond the age of three.
In the depths of my despair, I turned to God Almighty, Jesus Christ, in prayer. I prayed not with eloquent words, but with desperation, with a heart that had nowhere else to turn. It was in that moment of utter helplessness that I encountered the power of the living God.
God heard my prayer. He responded– not slowly, not in theory, but with an instantaneous miracle that I could never have imagined.
You might be wondering...
I am a Christian, and I attend church every Sunday. I pray regularly and strive to live in obedience to God's Word. I have also taken communion and done everything I believe a faithful follower of Christ should do.
Yet, despite my prayers and faithfulness, I have not received a miracle. It often feels as though God silent - that He does not hear me or respond to my cries. I find myself asking: Why? Why does it seem like God doesn't care about my prayers?
The Bible teaches us that when we lay hands on the sick, they shall recover (Mark16:18), and that when we pray, if we believe that we have received when we ask for, it will be granted to us (Mark 11:24).
My church community prayed over my child with sincerity and compassion. I attended healing services and even pastors laid hands and prayed over my child. I believed. I prayed with all my heart. I trusted that God would intervene.
But despite all the prayers, the faith and hope we carried, I saw no improvement. Why didn't the healing come? Why did God allow our children to suffer?
Here are the answers from Pastor John Osteen
About us
Shalom! To all parents on earth who are walking through brokenness and pain like us,
I come to you as a living testimony, to proclaim that fatal genetic diseases do not have to remain fatal anymore – when we seek God wholeheartedly for healing, miracles can and do happen.
In obedience to God’s calling, and out of my own willingness, I am here to share the powerful testimonies of His faithfulness and goodness in the life of my son. My hope is that through our story, we may be a blessing to you and help strengthen your faith in God who heals, restores and never forsakes.
Mary, Singapore
Over the past several years, as I have faithfully applied the teachings and instructions that Pastor John Osteen had shared in his sermons, I have witnessed lots of miracles from Heaven!
What's impossible for human doctors to treat, are POSSIBLE FOR GOD to heal
We all acknowledge that God is Jehovah Rapha our Healer. yet, when every doctor told us that there is no cure or treatment available on earth for our baby’s condition, we found ourselves struggling to hold onto the very truth we believed- that God can heal all diseases, for He is the Creator of all human life.
Who says Menkes Disease cannot be healed? Who says once diagnosed with fatal rare genetic disease meaning our babies would die? Doctors are humans, humans are limited! Whatever doctors cannot treat, God’s power picks up! I believe my son’s powerful testimonies shall be a light and blessing to you all.
Now ... Let's talk about prayer
As a living testimony, I affirm that the answer is yes! Scripture teaches that all of God’s promises are “Yes” and “Amen”.
Many of us fail to experience miraculous healing not because God is unwilling, but because they do not ask. When we witness our children suffering and declining, we begin to question and blame God, asking ” Why, Lord? Why this tragedy? Why would You allow this to happen to my child?”
Yet we must first examine ourselves and ask: Have I prayed? Have I clearly and earnestly brought my request before God? Too often, the answer is no.
It is not God who brings sickness and disease upon our children. Rather, it is the work of the enemy- the Devil, whose purpose is to deceive, destroy, and cause suffering. God is not the author of illness, but the giver of life, healing, and restoration.
Seizures and dystonia are demonic force which can be driven out by God's power
Jesus healed my son's epilepsy in just 4 days
Years ago, my son was suffering from grand mal seizures and there was nothing could be done to cease. We took communion as many times as we could for 4 days, miracle happened, and seizures had totally gone.
By faith, dystonia is already 90% defeated
One early morning, I got very angry with this demon called dystonia. I surrendered my battle back to God by persistent prayers and worship…
No matter you believe or not, we are in battle, broken-hearted parents
I’ve learnt that simply reading or knowing what the Bible says does not guarantee that its promises will automatically be fulfilled in our lives. As many pastors are preaching that Let God fight your battle, my own experience telling me that without faith and certain actions, we may not see God move on our behalf. We must actively manifest our faith through consistent and persistent prayer and personal worship.
I have also learnt that the exhortation to “resist the Devil” calls us, as parents, to take intentional action against spiritual forces of darkness. For a long time, I questioned why my child- why my son had to endure such struggles. Years passed before one of Pastor Steven Furtick’s sermons provided clarity: the Devil often attacks what we value the most. And what do we cherish more deeply in this life than our precious and beloved children?
As human beings, we are limited in our own strength. Scripture reminds us that “we are in a fight… and it is not against flesh and blood.” Therefore, as parents, we must stand firm against spiritual attacks and refuse to relinquish our children to the influence of evil. Our must pray without ceasing and worship God, resist the darkness, and ultimately to surrender the battle to God- the One who created us and who alone holds the power to protect and deliver.
It is written in the Bible that "Faith without works is dead". Pastor John Osteen has taught us there are certain things we must do AFTER we pray...
Pray and keep praying without ceasing, until miracle comes
No matter the state or medical condition of our children, let us never cease to pray without wearing, day and night. For there is mighty power in persistent prayers.
As a living testimony of God’s faithfulness and goodness, I am here to let you all know that violent faith with never-give-up prayers really works!
Listen to sermons about faith and healing daily, and keep our faith growing
The Bible says faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God.
I’ve learnt that we cannot have “Bible Faith” without knowledge of what God has promised. We can learn how to believe and “fight the good fight of faith” by listening to Pastor John Osteen’s sermons on Faith and Healing.
Worship God in the midst of the storm
Pastor John Osteen said “Singing and praising means I believe God. I believe that God is going to defeat this army. We manifest our faith with words and praising.”
So let us worship God daily at home and wherever we go, and surrender our battle back to God’s Mighty hands, because our human strength, is really powerless.
Most importantly, dare to speak life over what's dead and speak death over what's evil in our children's body. Declaring God's Word (take certain Bible verses to prayer) over them, as many times as possible, daily and always.
Jesus, by His power, raised Lazarus and Jairus’s daughter from the dead. He is the Resurrection and Life. Whatever is dead or defective, God is able to breathe new life into it.
In 2022, by the grace of Jesus and my own violent faith, my son underwent a major operation that many believed impossible
when the surgeons said my son had a very high chance to die on the table, Lord Jesus said Jadon shall LIVE!
A rare type of hernia, approximately six inches in size was found in my son’s body, which had caused most of his abdominal organs to be pulled upward, exerting pressure on his lungs.
Surgery was presented as the only possible solution. However, due to the complexity and severity of the condition, the surgical team strongly advised against proceeding with the operation, warning us that we might lose our son on the very day of procedure.
Pastor John Osteen have had a transformative impact on my life
Through his teachings, I have learned how to believe, how to resist the devil, how to pray effectively, and how to stand in faith to drive out the influence of the enemy from my child. Most importantly, he had taught me how to “fight the good fight of faith“.
I wholeheartedly encourage everyone of you out there to listen to his sermons specifically on Faith and Healing – you will be truly blessed.
I have come to understand that there is a spiritual principle known as the Law of Faith. When we earnestly seek God and ask Him for healing, we must believe that our prayers have already been answered every time we pray – even when our physical eyes tell us otherwise. Regardless of how severe our children’s conditions may appear, our faith must remain steadfast.
Call those things that be not as though they were
My heart sank when the surgeon showed us the CT scan of my son. She explained that this particular type of hernia had been rarely seen in the past 30 years…
In that moment of fear and uncertainty, God taught me of a powerful truth-that I could speak life over my son’s body including each organ, declaring healing with boldness, and calling things that are not as though they were.
There is power in speaking to the "mountains"
The Bible teaches that if we speak to the mountain and command it to move, it shall move. Pastor John Osteen explained in one of his sermons that we are already given the authority to speak directly to our “mountains”, and command them to move in Jesus’ name.
I took that teaching to heart and applied it in faith. I spoke to my son’s organs and commanded them to move, and by God’s grace and power, they did-before the scheduled operation.
Just when I was about to give up... God answered me in an unexpected way
Just about a week after the operation, my son had to be re-intubated due to a sudden drop in his oxygen saturation levels to the low 30s.
Long story short, he was subsequently placed on BiPAP support, and I was informed that my son would likely require this form of high-pressure respiratory assistance for the remainder of his life… I had been praying day and night that we could go home without this machine. However, miracle didn’t happen back then until…
We must be angry and mad at the disease and symptoms
How many more seizures and how much more suffering must our children endure before we say “enough!”? We can no longer stand by and watch in silence. It is time to rise up to resist the devil, and to protect our children with determination and faith. By the power of God, let us act with courage and unity to drive the demons out!
God's word-Bible scriptures are actually our weapons to fight demons
As Christians, we all know that God’s Word is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. Yet far too many of us fail to apply it in our daily lives. I have learnt from Pastor John Osteen that we can speak forth God’s Word-declaring scripture as arrows- against demonic forces whenever we are under attack.
There is power in persistent prayer. Ask and keep asking, it shall be given to us.
It’s natural to struggle with doubt when our prayers seem unanswered. At times, we may even question whether God is real or if He hears us at all. But I’ve learned that when we deeply desire something from God, we must be persistent in our own prayers, day and night until the breakthrough comes.
Worship is a powerful force to fight demons because they cannot stand praise!
Pastor John Osteen taught me that singing and praising means I believe God. I believe God is going to defeat this army, and we manifest our faith by words, singing and praising God.
