Leviticus 21:16-23:
"Then YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to
Aaron, saying, 'No man of your seed throughout
their generations who has a defect shall approach to
offer the bread of his God. For no one who has a
defect shall approach: a blind man, or a lame man,
or he who has a disfigured face, or any deformed
limb, or a man who has a broken foot or broken
hand, or a hunchback or a dwarf, or one who has a
defect in his eye or ecóema or scabs or crushed
testicles. No man among the seed of Aaron the
priest, who has a defect, is to come near to offer
YHWH's offerings by fire; since he has a defect, he
shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. He may eat the bread of his God, both of the most
holy and of the holy, only he shall not go in to the
veil or come near the altar because he has a defect,
that he may not profane My sanctuaries. For I am
YHWH who sanctifies them"
.As New Testament saints, we do not practice the above words literally. We just apply spiritual principles. Those born with disabilities or by accident still "can eat the bread of GOD".

Today all believers are priests by status, but the number of
people who experience the practical priesthood life is a minority.
Disabled priests were allowed to eat bread, to eat even the
most holy part of the sacrificial food of God's people when they offered
sacrifices to God, but they were not allowed to come near the altar to
sacrifice offerings to the Lord.
Today all saints are allowed to enjoy, to partake in the
riches and to eat of the riches in His house, such as reading the bible, or in
personal prayer, corporate meeting, or listening to the preaching of the word of God. But
spiritually disabled people are not allowed to offer sacrifices to God, that is meaning
that there is not much spiritual life in their life to offer bread for God to eat, also that
there is not something left to feed other saints.
So The Bibles describe about many disabled people as following:
--The author of the book 1 Samuel says about the disabled people of king David: "everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered to him; and he became captain over them" (1 Sa 22:1)--"all the wicked and worthless men among those who went with David " (1 Sa 30: 22).

- The apostle Paul talked about people with disabilities in
the Corinthian church including "an immoral
person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler,
or a drunkard, or a swindler "(1 Cor. 5:11).
- The apostle John spoke about the defect ones in the seven local
churches in Asia Minor as follows: who "gave up the first love";
there are "some who keep the teaching of Balaam","some who keep
the teachings of the Nicolaitans"; there are some believers to be
"thrown into a sick bed", and those who commit adultery; there are saints "have a name that are alive, but are dead
for life", or dying; and in Laodicea church, there are people "are wretched and
miserable and poor and blind and naked".
In general, in the sacrifices offered to God, He just needed to
enjoy a small priority, how much was saved as food to feed all the priests with
or without disabilities. But only the healthy priests can offered some things to the Lord and the rest of his offerings to feed everyone else.
I see God's people meeting in every kind of church, in many localities, or in denominations, all having some nourishment when they come together. In general, they were raised year after year, but they did not produce many people who were able to give bread to the Lord first, and then there was still plenty to feed their disabled brothers.

In some places, to serve the top high-quality truths, God's people were
unable to digest completely, resulting in strange diseases such as big heads, wit the thin limbs. In some places, God's people ate canned food that was
overdue, they ate padded wild vegetables,poisonous forest fruits, or sometimes
there was nothing to eat.
A woman who feeds her baby, she is taking her own life, her
blood, drawing her nutrients, and nursing it, to feed it. The mother must have
a complete and full diet in order to have enough health to support her children through
the milk of her own life.
The saints with disabilities are nourished by others, but without health, without a large amount of Christ crystallized or built in themselves, there is no first-class bread offered to God for enjoyment and leftovers in order gave out to feed the others.

May God cure each of our disabilities. May God give us
the amount of experimenting Christ in us. May God give us the great amount of
spiritual crystallization, the subjective Christ formation in us. Only then can
we offer the bread to the Lord for contentment, and to have the abundance of
nurturing disabled believers.
I emphasize the amount of that interior Christ in us, and that divine crystallization era not a doctrine, cannot be the text of the books of the
ancestors of the ages.
