Don’t Look For Deliverance

Don’t Look For Deliverance

August 14th, 2011

If you’re born again, you’re already delivered from the power of satan, and translated into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. God is not going to deliver you any more than He’s already done. You don’t need deliverance from satan. By virtue of the new birth, you’ve been made superior to satan and therefore not subject to him and his demons.

 

It’s wrong for any child of God to continually seek deliverance, as some do, moving from one deliverance session to the other. Such folks will never be delivered because they’re busy looking for something that’s already theirs. I’m aware however, that there could be certain young converts who due to ignorance of the Word, could be oppressed by satan. They need the knowledge of God’s Word on how to exercise their authority in Christ and say “No” to satan’s manipulations.

 

God couldn’t have made a new creation that’s subject to the devil. Rather, He made us superior to the cohorts of darkness, giving us power and authority to cast them out (Luke 10:19, Mark 16:17). It’s only the man or woman that’s ignorant of the Word of God that goes about seeking to be delivered from satanic bondage. This is one of the reasons you have to be a functional member in a thriving Church, where the Word of God is taught, believed and lived!

 

When you know the Word for yourself you’ll be able to tell the devil off, and keep him in his place – under your feet. Get to know the Word and apply it to every area of your life, and you’ll always operate from the stand-point of victory.

 

Confession

Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the power in the Name of Jesus and for your Word by which I live. In your Word I find safety and strength; and by it I have authority over all principalities and powers, thrones and dominions, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. Amen.
