Deliverance

Deliverance

My Question for God

What are ways I can experience God’s deliverance?

A Moment with God

[Jesus said,] “The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the LORD’s favor has come.”

Luke 4:18-19

Jesus came to deliver people who were oppressed by the world or the powers of evil. We see this in the Gospels as he delivered people from spiritual oppression by demons. He delivered them from physical oppression by healing their diseases. He delivered them from intellectual oppression by exposing lies and teaching the truth that sets us free. And he spoke boldly against the injustice of abusive leadership, especially against religious leaders. This is why salvation is also called deliverance. Jesus can deliver you not only from the consequences of your sins but also from the forces in this world that oppress you.

Divine Promise

[Jesus said,] “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33
