Deliverance!

Deliverance!    

                                                                                Good Morning Holy Spirit - Daily Devotion

Good Morning Friend, Hope you had a restful weekend since rest (Rest in God's presence) is mandatory for us to function. Today's meditation is not about that. 😊. It is about deliverance. What is deliverance?  Generally, deliverance often has religious connotations. Meaning of deliverance is to set free. The act of setting someone free. In many places and incidents in the scriptures, we see about God's deliverance.

Having grown up as a child of God, having Faith in God is not exemplary for us (believers). We are so tuned to hearing, reading God's word and so familiarized on the word of truth. 

Romans 10: 17 states , Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. 

We love God so much and couldn't deny the fact that HE died on the cross for our sins and for us to live a victorious life. However, most of the times, the challenge we face is deliverance. 

Have you ever wondered, when you pray in faith for others, you would see God does miracles in no time. However, when you pray about your struggles and deliverance, it would be taking a longer duration than it should be. What is the reason?  Where are we lacking and not wise to receive deliverance? 

Disobedience?? 

What is that one thing ( Is it discipline? addiction?sinful nature?) God speaks to you continuously to change according to His words and to put into practice but you keep postponing? Think about it. When we say we love God, He expects us to obey His teaching. He desires for us not to lack any good thing and to be wise. When an earthly parents has the same desire for their Children (not to lack any good thing and to be wise) and how much more our Heavenly father will have towards His Children.

John 14:23,  "Jesus replied, 'Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them."

Faith + Obedience = Deliverance

Matthew 7: 24 Jesus says , “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

So let us not merely listen to the word and deceive Ourselves. Faith & Obedience brings deliverance. Our Father is longing for us to come out of all bondage and ready to deliver us and bless us. The decision lies with us. 

James 1: 22-25 , 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

Have a blessed day!😇

In Christ alone
