TOPIC: YOU NEED DELIVERANCE?
Memorize: And it shall come to
pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder,
and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the
anointing. Isaiah 10:27
Read: Deuteronomy 28:25-48,
25 The Lord shall
cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way
against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all
the kingdoms of the earth.
26 And thy
carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the
earth, and no man shall fray them away.
27 The Lord will
smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab,
and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
28 The Lord shall
smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
29 And thou
shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not
prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and
no man shall save thee.
30 Thou shalt
betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house,
and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not
gather the grapes thereof.
31 Thine ox
shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass
shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored
to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none
to rescue them.
32 Thy sons
and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall
look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no
might in thine hand.
33 The fruit
of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up;
and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
34 So that
thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
35 The Lord shall
smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be
healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
36 The Lord shall
bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which
neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods,
wood and stone.
37 And thou
shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations
whither the Lord shall lead thee.
38 Thou shalt
carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the
locust shall consume it.
39 Thou shalt
plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor
gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
40 Thou shalt
have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself
with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
41 Thou shalt
beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into
captivity.
42 All thy
trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
43 The
stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt
come down very low.
44 He shall
lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou
shalt be the tail.
45 Moreover
all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake
thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of
the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he
commanded thee:
46 And they
shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
47 Because
thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness
of heart, for the abundance of all things;
48 Therefore
shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in
hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he
shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 52:1-56:8,
Psalms 40:11-17
MESSAGE
There are many people who are
carrying different loads in life. There are weights, burdens and yokes that are
delaying many people and stopping them from becoming what God wants them to
become. When an individual is in bondage, there are limits to what he can
achieve. This may mean that there is an urgent need for deliverance. God is the
ultimate deliverer and I want to assure you that everything that is unpleasant
in your life shall be made beautiful in Jesus’ name. There are people that
appear alright, but they have long standing problems. I decree that the
Almighty God will turn all of your unpleasant situations into beautiful
testimonies in Jesus’ name.
“Whereas thou hast been
forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an
eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.” Isaiah 60:15
There are people who have been
rejected by others but in the hour of deliverance, these same people will
gather people for the celebration of the greatness of God in their lives. In
the hour of deliverance, wealth will begin to replace poverty in the lives of
such people. When deliverance begins, there will be a full restoration of all
that has been denied for so many years.
If you align yourself with the
will of God this moment, God will begin to be your light. You will walk through
darkness and nothing will harm you because the deliverance of God has located
you. God wants to deliver you from the power and fears of those whom you cannot
handle by your strength. God does not want your life as a believer to be at the
mercy of sinners. The blood of Jesus is for your freedom, to deliver you from
the tyranny of sin and death. If you allow God to deliver you, the yoke of
sickness, poverty, stagnation, unemployment, and fruitlessness will not only be
taken away, but it shall be destroyed totally. Moses told the children of
Israel to look back and behold the Egyptians, because the Egyptians they were
seeing that day would never be seen again in their lives. And the Almighty God
sank all the Egyptians and their weapons of war into the sea at that moment. As
a child of the Almighty God, you can be sure that there is no weapon formed
against you spiritually, physically or administratively that will prosper.
Have you been in bondage? Have
you been a victim of situations and circumstances? Are there certain precious
things you desire but are outside your control? Are you weeping silently while
others think you are happy? I decree once again that your hour of deliverance
is here in Jesus’ name. That great man called Naaman was a leper but when his
hour of deliverance arrived, he dipped himself into river Jordan seven times as
instructed, and his skin was wholly replaced. No single sign of loss was found
in him. It is in that same Spirit that I want you to know that your freedom has
arrived. There will be a complete turnaround in a positive direction in your
life in Jesus’ name.
Key Point
When God sets you free, you
are free indeed.
