TOPIC: DO YOU NEED
DELIVERANCE?
Memorize: And these signs
shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they
shall speak with new tongues; Mark 16:17
Read: James 5:13-15,
13 Is any
among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 Is any sick
among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over
him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the
prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he
has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Bible in one year: Jeremiah 29:24-31:40, Psalms 52
MESSAGE
Deliverance implies the rescue
or liberation of a person from danger, suffering, bondage and sin. It also
indicates freedom from people, forces or circumstances that are overwhelming.
Sometimes, deliverance involves the expulsion of an evil spirit or spirits from
a person. Deliverance focuses on captives, prisoners of war, slaves, debtors,
suspected criminals, deportees, exiles, condemned sinners, and the oppressed.
These people are often treated with great cruelty and indignity. Another focus
of deliverance includes individuals dominated by the influence of a demon.
Deliverance should be taken seriously; many are presently suffering due to
ignorance of the influence of the devil in their lives.
Being a victim is especially
pathetic because it is quite difficult and practically impossible for anyone in
this situation to make any progress in life or be delivered by self-help.
Consequently, experiences of stagnancy, failure, fruitlessness, sickness,
misfortune, etc., are possible indications that deliverance is required. I
prophecy into the life of a user of this devotional that is experiencing any of
these evil conditions, you shall be delivered today in Jesus’ name. Incidentally,
hope for deliverance is certain because there is a powerful Saviour and
Deliverer, His name is Jesus. All power in Heaven and on earth belongs to Him.
Every person and circumstance of life is subject to His authority, and demons
are powerless before Him. Matthew 17:18 says;
“And Jesus rebuked the devil;
and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.”
At the Word of Jesus or at the
mention of His name by a disciple, demons flew out and people were delivered.
Once again, I decree in the name of Jesus, receive deliverance from every form
of bondage now. Matthew 10:1 says;
“And when he had called unto
him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast
them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.”
Do you need deliverance of any
kind? Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, make every effort to avoid self-destructive
behaviours of immorality and sin. Then seek a true disciple of Jesus with
delegated power and authority over demons, who will call upon the name of Jesus
for your deliverance. Intensive prayers with a word of command will dislodge
the stronghold of the enemy in your life today in the name of Jesus.
Prayer Point
Father, please set me free
from every bondage of the devil today in Jesus’ name.
