WHAT IS DELIVERANCE & WHY DO I NEED IT?
PURPOSE OF DELIVERANCE
The ultimate purpose for deliverance is to be free from all bondages in order to serve GOD wholeheartedly and walk in liberty in Christ Jesus.
“And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.” Exodus 8:1
When bound & in shackles it affects our relationship with GOD. This causes us to live a life contrary to the will of GOD, our purpose cannot be fulfilled while we are in bondage. Bondage caused delay and destruction to our destiny. GOD wants us free from all bondage so that we can :
- Fear the Lord, walk in all His ways, love him with all our heart, and soul. Deuteronomy 10:122
- Walk in liberty in Christ Jesus. Being free from sin, causes us to walk in our full power and authority. 2 Corinthians 3:17.
- Be healed, delivered, and restored back to our original state, and have deep intimacy with him.
- Walk in our purpose, serve others with our gifts, advance the kingdom agenda and live a Christ Purposeful life.
God's goal is to set you free from all bondages and bring you to the place of wholeness within to live a life of fulfillment in Christ Jesus. It is only then you can truly experience the love of GOD and serve GOD with all your heart in truth and spirit.
WHAT IS DELIVERANCE
“But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions” Obadiah 1:17
Deliverance is defined as “the action of being rescued”. I define deliverance as GOD mercy and grace in action in a person's life to set them free from all forms of bondage and bring them to the place of wholeness within to live a fulfilled life in Christ Jesus.
Deliverance can occur in many areas of our lives, Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially.
Two types of deliverance that are top priority are spiritual and soulish deliverance. This is because these two areas directly impact the essence of your being, your spirit, and your soul.
Spiritual deliverance is deliverance from the oppression of demonic spirits, witchcraft, generational curses and altars, evil covenants, etc. Spiritual bondage keeps you from walking in GOD's purpose for your life. It keeps you from walking in intimacy with Christ and walking in your power and authority. This type of bondage comes to delay or destroy your destiny.
Deliverance in your soul realm is needed when you have endured trauma, abuse of any kind, or suffer from substance abuse. Your soul houses your mind, will, and emotions. Trauma and substance abuse can alter the state of your soul and cause you to function in a way GOD never intended you to function.
GOD gave us our souls for the purpose of GODLY rulership on earth according to Genesis 1:28. It is in our soul realm that the word of Christ is hidden, once it is in us it can find expression in the earth and the will of GOD can be done on earth as it is in heaven through your earthly vessel. This is why the devil seeks to destroy your soul.
If our soul is spiritually caged and psychologically damaged we cannot bring forth the kingdom of GOD on earth.
Deliverance in the soul realm focuses on casting out demons in your soul realm that are causing negative thinking, torment, and affecting your will. Another reason for deliverance in our soul realm is to break ungodly soul ties. Soul ties are spiritual connections or bonds that are formed between two people. Soul ties can be spiritual, psychological, and sexual. Soul ties cause our soul to be with another person or multiple people. This affects your true identity, you can become a shelf of yourself, filled with many other souls and voices. It is important to get deliverance and break the chains,
When our spirit, soul, & body are in divine alignment, we are empowered by GOD to fulfill His will on earth and rule as KINGS & PRIEST.
WHAT HINDERS YOUR DELIVERANCE
You cannot skip steps through the deliverance process and expect to be delivered. Many people want to start casting and binding demons, & yes you have the power and authority to do that, However, your house must be in order first before you can go binding and casting out demons. Understanding demons will retaliate and if you are not properly prepared and have not cleaned out your spiritual house you will get a good beat down.
Your deliverance can be hindered by:
- Lack of repentance
- Refusing to forgive and take accountability
- Pride
- Wrong motive
- Refusing to let go of the old
- Failure to sever binding soulish relationships
- Ungodly soul-ties
- Generational curses
- Fear/embarrassment
- Unbelief
- Not being the wrong of GOD daily
- Failure to pray and fast consistently
PREPARING FOR DELIVERANCE:
Deliverance is a process that you have to prepare your heart for, for each individual that process looks different due to what they may deliverance from and what is in the bloodline. When preparing for deliverance make sure you have JESUS, because it is HIM and the BLOOD that brings the VICTORY in that battle. No other name or person can bring deliverance. JESUS CHRIST is the DELIVERER, if you decide to believe and take
this walk of faith, here is what you need to prepare:
- Personally affirm your faith in Christ Jesus
- Humble yourself before GOD
- Confess any known sin
- Repent of all sins
- Forgive, Forgive, Forgive. Ask God to reveal to you all those you have not forgiven, write their names down, verbal what they did to you, and hand them over to GOD.
- Break away from all ungodly things, and practices (witchcraft, occult, horoscope, worshiping ancestors, tarot cards, etc)
- Examine your bloodline, find patterns - pattern review generation's curses, and take that to the Lord. You want to break those generational curses.
- Prepare your body for 3 days fast, start eating light, or do intermittent fasting to prepare your body. Deliverance requires a 3 day fast of repentance and seeking GOD.
- Take your stand with GOD, and move by FAITH
Once you have completed that, you are ready to go to war and be free. Meditate on those scriptures, and know your authority in CHRIST.
“Listen carefully: I have given you authority [that you now possess] to tread on serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] over all the power of the enemy (Satan); and nothing will [in any way] harm you.” Luke 10:19 AMP
“Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.” Isaiah 52:2 KJV
