Hallelujah. Glory to the Lamb upon the throne. Holy Holy Holy is the Lamb!
I wrote this just prior to the onset of the tribulation, in the depths of suffering, not understanding yet, what time it was. This is the heart of Yeshua for the lost sheep of the house of Israel -- the good heart of the Father, who doesn't wish that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Deliverance is often relying on God's promises in the midst of trials and appointing them to the center of our attention, until the circumstances are dwarfed in comparison to God's goodness.
But there are many ways in which God delivers us. If we seek him, he will do it in the way that he does it. He will tell us where to go. Who to ask for prayer. If to fast. He will convict us, where necessary. Or, he will simply reveal more of his healing love and as us to sit in it. He may ask us to do nothing but wait on him. With him. While the trial does its refining work.
God is our Deliverer. Make no mistake. It's his favorite thing to do. Just reading about Jesus in the Bible makes that clear. We can't deliver ourselves. We need the healer. And Praise God, that we have him.
Lord, show us what your salvation looks like. You are faithful and glorious. You are the King of Kings. Help us to surrender all expectations, except that you are good and that you want to give good things to your children. We trust your plan for us. So many of your people need deliverance. You know. Please open our eyes and give us gifts of discernment to deliver others from what they really need freedom from. Help us to humble our hearts to receive whatever you will show us.
Teach us to be obedient to your command to confess our sins and lay hands on one another. Be in our midst and make people well, as your promise says in Mark 16:17-18.
Merciful Father, start the revival that your people have been long praying for. Use us to cast a wide net. Keep all fear from us in the evil time when we will really need the gift of healing. Please provide it for the protection of your people and for your glory. For the glory of what your Son, Jesus Christ, did for us. Demonstrate your mercy, through the gift of deliverance and healing in your body. We love you, Lord. Amen.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. Psalm 34:19
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4
